The capspace helps with trades. That's how Charollette ended up with Gordon Hayward. I sure as would love the Spurs to have Hayward right now.
Yeah, I'm not sure Markkanen even moves the needle more than Bjelica or Olynyk. , Luke Kornet for the minimum might be a better investment.

He is more of a center than power forward in today’s NBA. Not to mention he is injury prone and not the best defense. I would rather they go after Collins instead of Lauri. Collins can play with Jacob, Lauri can’t
timvp - if Derozan is brought back? How can SA or Derozan see what has taken place the last two seasons and think he’s a fit? He want to come off the bench and take a paycut you think? Because outside of that I don’t see how SA can view him as worth keeping with these results.
Even if they used all their cap space and then signed Derozan, it still makes no sense imo.
Clearly one of Murray/White/DDR need to be broken up in favour of a 3 point shooter off the dribble.
Two of the 3 need to be moved...
One, if it’s DDR.
Disagree. I see it unlikely that that backcourt can survive today's league unless they both become decent to good 3 point shooters. And it will take more than one more off-season to achieve that.
Both of them basically rely on DeMar getting trapped after pounding the air out of the ball for 20 seconds, then kicking it out with the shot clock running out. If DD is gone, the offense would be more egalitarian and free flowing, and that creates better options for shots.
When has White or Murray ever demonstrated they could run a free flowing offense without DDR?
Let DDR walk
Move Keldon to 3 and make him shoot threes and dribble pull-ups til he drops and then do more
Find a freakin 4 (or 2 of them) who can shoot and defend and rebound at least decently
DJM needs to work on his 3 point shot a lot.
White needs to improve.
Or move one of them to the bench and start Lonnie.
Optimize the bench the best you can- need a 3 backup.
Play defense hard. Everyone
Hope the young ones catch lightening in a bottle.
Not a great chance but better than the same ole DDR stank.
Gasol got $48 million from us when he was almost 40
I still think we are better off moving 2 of them(provided we can get a decent return). I have never like the fit of White and Murray starting beside each other.
Or DeRozan can be moved to a different team while White is moved to the bench.
Markkanen is trash.
Bad rim protector and too slow to play the 4.
Poor man's Porzingis and Porzingis isn't that good..

Yes, there are ways to make it work but with his salary next season it could get difficult to provide the proper balance and make all the salaries fit. (Next year probably works with our space but subsequent years might be tough...or we could move one then)
Does anyone know his wine preferences? Pretty important with this front office.
This can be a lot of hooey as well, none of these "sources" are Spurs people so it all speculation.
+1. In the absence of a real star that makes the team better, I would prefer an egalitarian team that at least plays an interesting brand of basketball while they develop their young players and continue to look for their star.

We should keep an eye on this guy for the rest of the season. He is a legit FA target, after all...
