Let's hope they don't give Gay 17 million per year
No more oldies,. Ariza? Dudley? no!
One year is fine as long as it’s not multiple fully guaranteed years
I think they are prohibited from anything over 12M or so on a 1 year deal (last yrars salary × 120%)... if they go 17M is has to be 2 years minimum.
2nd year doesn’t have to be guaranteed
So to be clear. Can it be a two year deal (17 millions a year) with a team option that the Spurs can decline but then bring back Rudy on a different contract in 2020? This way there’s more money to chase a bigger free agent next year.

Standing ReachN/A
Raw talent born in Japan who’s progressed considerably in college to become a versatile scorer, but still has so far to go before his game can translate to the NBA.
Shades Of: The Morris twins, Jabari Parker, washed Carmelo Anthony
PLUSES
Tremendous physical tools with a thick frame, long arms, and fluid athleticism. He’s activated these traits with improved ballhandling moves going coast-to-coast after rebounds.
Potential mismatch scorer who can be used all over the court: He’s an effective post scorer, a powerful straight-line driver, a willing cutter, and an improving spot-up shooter.
Comfortable handling the ball and shooting off the dribble from the short midrange; at his rate of improvement, perhaps he’ll someday extend his range to 3.
Versatile close-range finisher who can score above the rim with touch using either hand. He’s a willing screener and could be useful in the pick-and-roll.
Has the tools to be a versatile defender with a sturdy frame, long arms, athleticism, a willingness to learn, and a proven track record of making improvements.
Hard worker on and off the floor who has gotten better each season. Hachimura didn’t start playing organized basketball until he was 14; he’s in the early stages of his development.
MINUSES
The game moves too fast for him on offense; he’s a poor decision-maker who’s slow to read the floor. Even when he does pass, he delivers the ball inaccurately.
Needs to be stronger with the ball; he powered through college players but savvier defenders knew to strip the ball because of his tendency to bring it down.
Reads the floor on defense at Windows 98 speeds; he’s a liability in the pick-and-roll, gets caught in no-man’s-land, and is late to rotate in help situations.
Needs to be more physical to improve his rebounding, which would help compensate for his defensive imitations.2 9

Wingspan7'2.5''
Standing Reach9'2''
A tall, lanky center who projects as a super-switchable defender and versatile offensive player—if he develops his jumper.
Shades Of: Al Horford, Mason Plumlee
PLUSES
Good ball handler who can grab-and-go in transition, or score with finesse on cuts and rolls. He stays low on his drives and scores like a guard around the rim with dexterous layups.
Effective passer who could easily thrive as a scorer or playmaker on the short roll. He’s particularly comfortable making left-handed passes off the dribble.
Avoided careless turnovers despite being forced into being a primary playmaker; he won’t have the same role in the NBA, but his skills will make him a tough cover in the pick-and-roll.
Didn’t play with a point guard, which hurt his percentages: He shot 34.6 percent in two years on catch-and-shoot jumpers, which isn’t good but it’s something to build on.
Good rebounder considering his underdeveloped body, though stronger bigs will move him off his spots until he adds muscle.
Impressive defensive potential once his fundamentals improve: He’s mobile moving laterally and plays hard, plus has the length and reaction time to contain guards and wings.
Good shot blocker who can alter perimeter jumpers and recover when beaten to swat away shots from behind; he’s an attentive off-ball defender who steps up for weakside blocks, too.
MINUSES
Lacks physicality and avoids contact; he gets pushed around a lot. He had a late growth spurt, so either he’s just adjusting to his new body or lacks a degree of toughness.
He should be considered no more than a theoretical shooting threat because of his average touch near the rim and his subpar percentages on his jumper and from the line.
Must do a better job of establishing post positioning, especially when sealing defenders underneath the basket on cuts and rim runs.
Thin frame allows beefier players to plow through him on the post and perimeter drives; he needs to get significantly stronger to effectively defend bigs.
Too often stands upright or opens his stance on the perimeter, which allows opponents to blow by him. He needs to stay seated in his stance and move laterally on his heels.

Yardbarker: 2019 NBA mock draft 4.0: First round
Posted 16 hours ago [AKA 29/30 May 2019] | By Pat Heery
[19] 2019 NBA mock draft 4.0: First round
San Antonio Spurs: Goga Bitadze, KK Mega Bemax
NBA comp: The Ante Zizic Celtics fans told you about
Bitadze would be a lottery pick if he came up in the league 10 or maybe even five years ago. He has power around the basket, a nice touch from the outside and solid all-around game. His problem is going to be — you guessed it — his ability to play defense when he gets thrown into a bunch of pick-and-rolls and must switch onto the James Hardens and Steph Currys of the league. He's a little slow. His ceiling has been described by some experts as Jusuf Nurkic. If any team can help an international talent reach his potential, it's the Spurs.
Patrick Albertini / ContributorSan Antonio Spurs (via Toronto Raptors): Carsen Edwards, Purdue
NBA comp: Patty Mills
Edwards' Kemba Walker impersonation during March Madness certainly did his draft stock favors. Instead of being viewed as a chucker, like he was for much of the Big Ten regular season, Edwards is now seen as a player who carried an average Purdue team to the cusp of a Final Four. He showed off unlimited range and impressive shot-making ability in the NCAA Tournament, solidifying his stock as a late-first-, early-second round pick. Every team could use a spark plug guard off the bench, and Edwards fits that mold. He'd be an ideal long-term replacement for Mills.

2019 NBA Mock Draft: Re-evaluating the top prospects
by Brendon Kleen 9 hours ago [AKA 30 May 2019] Follow BrendonKleen14
In this week’s 2019 NBA Mock Draft, the dust clears from the combine as prospects spread out across the country for workouts, and we start to re-evaluate the top of the class.
Players like Nassir Little and Darius Bazley helped themselves over the past few weeks getting the chance to meet with teams and the media, while others, such as Bol Bol and Kevin Porter Jr., have been unable to assuage NBA organizations that their fitful freshman seasons are in the rearview.

Matisse Thybulle
G/F, Washington
Washington
The Spurs start the project of rebuilding their wing rotation with Thybulle, who should get on the phone with San Antonio shot doctor Chip Engelland the moment this pick is announced.19
Talen Horton-Tucker
F, Iowa State
Iowa State
Adding Horton-Tucker to a mix that will include Thybulle and 2018 first-rounder Lonnie Walker IV gives the Spurs options on the wing they haven’t had since Kawhi Leonard was at full tilt.
This is the dream.
247 Sports: List of underclassmen declaring for the 2019 NBA Draft
ByChance Linton 15 hours ago
The underclassman deadline is in the rearview and the NBA has released its official list of early entrants for the 2019 NBA Draft.
The deadline for underclassmen to declare for the draft was April 21 and 233 players submitted their names as early entry candidates, including 175 college players and 58 international players.
Players who did elect to declare early will have until the NCAA deadline of May 29 to withdraw from the draft and retain their college eligibility. Due to an NCAA rule change ins uted this year, players are allowed to hire an agent without forfeiting their college eligibility, so it won’t be as clear which players intend to stay in the draft as it was in previous years. Players can also elect to return to school if they go undrafted, but this rule only applies to players who participated in the NBA Draft Combine.
The 2019 NBA Draft will be held on June 20 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn and the event will be televised on ESPN.
Below is a full list of the players who filed for early entry into the 2019 NBA Draft, along with their respective 247Sports Composite recruiting rankings, with college prospects listed first followed by the international players. The players are listed in alphabetical order.

Kind of. But instead of it being a “team option” it would be no option (player or team). Instead it would be a 2 year, 34M deal with no options, but the second year would be fully not guaranteed.
But yes, the reason for that would be so that SA could re-sign Rudy without having to use the MLE along with keeping flexibility for changes to the team after this next season.
Did Tucker just get busted for shoplifting 15$ from Walmart?
Interesting piece. RC quotes signaling (draft day) trade openness interesting.
Where does it say that?
“You’ve got to see what happens in the draft first,” Buford said. “Are there any trades that come about? There are so many questions that you don’t know the answer to until (the time comes).”
Great article, Gordy. Thanks. Nice to have something new to read.
Being "open" to anything is what the Spurs FO people have always said. Whether they are actively looking for a trade, they've said that they're always willing to listen.
I haven't heard that.

Raw talent born in Japan who’s progressed considerably in college to become a versatile scorer, but still has so far to go before his game can translate to the NBA.
Shades Of: The Morris twins, Jabari Parker, washed Carmelo Anthony
PLUSES
Tremendous physical tools with a thick frame, long arms, and fluid athleticism. He’s activated these traits with improved ballhandling moves going coast-to-coast after rebounds.
Potential mismatch scorer who can be used all over the court: He’s an effective post scorer, a powerful straight-line driver, a willing cutter, and an improving spot-up shooter.
Comfortable handling the ball and shooting off the dribble from the short midrange; at his rate of improvement, perhaps he’ll someday extend his range to 3.
Versatile close-range finisher who can score above the rim with touch using either hand. He’s a willing screener and could be useful in the pick-and-roll.
Has the tools to be a versatile defender with a sturdy frame, long arms, athleticism, a willingness to learn, and a proven track record of making improvements.
Hard worker on and off the floor who has gotten better each season. Hachimura didn’t start playing organized basketball until he was 14; he’s in the early stages of his development.
MINUSES
The game moves too fast for him on offense; he’s a poor decision-maker who’s slow to read the floor. Even when he does pass, he delivers the ball inaccurately.
Needs to be stronger with the ball; he powered through college players but savvier defenders knew to strip the ball because of his tendency to bring it down.
Reads the floor on defense at Windows 98 speeds; he’s a liability in the pick-and-roll, gets caught in no-man’s-land, and is late to rotate in help situations.
Needs to be more physical to improve his rebounding, which would help compensate for his defensive imitations.

A tall, lanky center who projects as a super-switchable defender and versatile offensive player—if he develops his jumper.
Shades Of: Al Horford, Mason Plumlee
PLUSES
Good ball handler who can grab-and-go in transition, or score with finesse on cuts and rolls. He stays low on his drives and scores like a guard around the rim with dexterous layups.
Effective passer who could easily thrive as a scorer or playmaker on the short roll. He’s particularly comfortable making left-handed passes off the dribble.
Avoided careless turnovers despite being forced into being a primary playmaker; he won’t have the same role in the NBA, but his skills will make him a tough cover in the pick-and-roll.
Didn’t play with a point guard, which hurt his percentages: He shot 34.6 percent in two years on catch-and-shoot jumpers, which isn’t good but it’s something to build on.
Good rebounder considering his underdeveloped body, though stronger bigs will move him off his spots until he adds muscle.
Impressive defensive potential once his fundamentals improve: He’s mobile moving laterally and plays hard, plus has the length and reaction time to contain guards and wings.
Good shot blocker who can alter perimeter jumpers and recover when beaten to swat away shots from behind; he’s an attentive off-ball defender who steps up for weakside blocks, too.
MINUSES
Lacks physicality and avoids contact; he gets pushed around a lot. He had a late growth spurt, so either he’s just adjusting to his new body or lacks a degree of toughness.
He should be considered no more than a theoretical shooting threat because of his average touch near the rim and his subpar percentages on his jumper and from the line.
Must do a better job of establishing post positioning, especially when sealing defenders underneath the basket on cuts and rim runs.
Thin frame allows beefier players to plow through him on the post and perimeter drives; he needs to get significantly stronger to effectively defend bigs.
Too often stands upright or opens his stance on the perimeter, which allows opponents to blow by him. He needs to stay seated in his stance and move laterally on his heels.
***I would be satisfied with this.***
Nice find.
Length is the new wave. Spurs will be looking fo players who can switch easily and guard big and small like what the Raptors are doing now. This probably pushes Grant Wiliams down on the Spurs big board.

Spurs dont need to move up. If they did, it should only be for Zion Williamson or DeAndre Hunter. This draft is a good one in terms of abundance of wings later in the draft. No wonder RC wanted another pick in this draft. It would be genius if he anticipated this draft would be like this and would explain why he didnt go for any forwards last offseason.
