Official 2016 Spurs Offseason Thread

[Keepin' it real]

Spurstalk posters can not be this dense. The Spurs need shooters and penetrators, not bigs with limited skill sets.

I'm sorry, you're right. I forgot how much the Spurs bigs dominated OKC during the playoffs. That was the only advantage the Spurs had. How silly of me to forget.

with Mayo ban may be it's time to trade Monro for Green and Mills, get Wade and forget about KD?

[ceperez]

Pretty much this. I would be content to have Ian back. He's shown he can play meaningful minutes without ting the bed. Much needed interior size and athleticism and not yet ancient.

Is he able to keep up with wings on the perimeter?

[Keepin' it real]

Does Durant have an accountant, or does he leave that to his mother?

[gambit1990]

i want dirk.

Dude, I've seen his mother count accurately a box of matches that were thrown in the air! She is legit!

[gambit1990]

don't stick around dirk. don't waste your time there.

Ian is most likely going to go back home to..........Dallas.

The Spurs lost to OKC because they couldn't make shots. OKC has always had an advantage over the Spurs in the paint with a healthy Ibaka in the starting lineup. Indiana is presumably letting go of Mahimni because he's about to get paid. You seriously want the Spurs to blow through their entire cap to sign a big with a limited skillset for 3-4 years, ruining future flexibility because he may or may not help against OKC?

WTF are the Blazers doing? I'd take Crabbe over Parsons any day - meaning Crabbe should be your SF and Parsons is redundant and sends bad messages to your team. You don't keep both of those players. Howard is a locker room cancer. The Blazers were fun to watch last year but were lacking solid vets who could bring some poise and harmony to the lineup. They should just chill the out and stop going for big names.

Crabbe is a good shooter but not a good playmaker at all. I think Terry Stotts wants a SF in the old Batum mold for their system. I bet they want CJ and Lillard playing off the ball at times or for someone else to add versatility and make them harder to defend.

I am not a fan of Parsons, but he's versatile. His cute playboy persona and injuries have tarnished his game while Crabbe is overrated. He can shoot but he's not versatile. In fact Blazers didn't have much versatility in playmaking from any of their forwards and I bet Stotts feels they need that to improve their team. Aminu is also limited as a playmaker. I remember Batum racked up a lot of assists for them. Was actually a better playmaker than Lillard. They are not getting better with just Crabbe.

I don't see a scenario where Spurs would allow themselves to go over the cap before their chance at using their 10-14 mil in space (14 assuming Duncan retires and spread within next few weeks). It's all about the timing of re-signing Manu, the signing of Bertans, Murray, LJC. Spurs are going to wait to do anything with them until they have made their addition via free agency IMO.

I remember you and I discussing this and I thought SA would be over the cap this FA unless it was for a big fish. Your way definitely plausible, but more and more people seem to think SA staying over the cap (Nate Duncan on his Podcast today).

Uggggghhh Humphries yuck.

Just saw a report that Stephen Jackson wants to get back into the league. The reporter assumed he meant coaching. But noooo... he thinks he can come back and play. Everybody thinks they can get paid from this blow-up.

I bet he saw Richard Jefferson win a championship and he wants a piece of dat! Bet he's thinking at home he's got more basketball in him than Jefferson does.

[cd021]

Wouldn't be the worst guy coming off the bench, but goddamn I'd hate to look at that punchable face for 82+ games.

Nah, much rather see KAs continued development or Bertans for 12-15 MPG than Barnes.

[I. Hustle]

i want .

Whoa! Slow down there, buddy. It'll happen

[Keepin' it real]

Good signing if it happens. Much needed interior depth.
