    Nah. They can do it immediately, like how CP3 was traded after opting in with LAC.

    Sources: USWNT star Alex Morgan to join Spurs

    I saw that headline and thought Pop hired a new assistant coach, tbh.

    Hmm, that's interesting. I wonder if it's just being set up by the young players or if the Spurs themselves are involved (I'm not sure they'd be allowed to do that). It can't be draft related because that surely wouldn't be allowed.

    Back 15+ years ago the Spurs would have random mini-camps in the summer where current players would go up against random free agents trying to break into the league. It's how a few players like Udonis Haslem and Raja Bell were first discovered. IIRC, even Stephen Jackson played in one before the Spurs offered him a spot on their summer league team.

    Sources: The NBA is planning for Draft Combine process beginning later this month with two parts:

    - Mid-September to early October: In-market medicals and on-court; virtual interviews
    - Mid-October to Draft date: In-person interviews; no workouts

    There is still no clarity on when the 2020-2021 NBA season will start, but the league has told teams to expect an eight-week advanced notice of a proposed opening night of the season, sources tell ESPN.

    The NBA is still tenatively targeting a Nov. 18 draft, but that date could still move, sources tell ESPN. Plans continue to center around a virtual draft setting that would allow teams to have "war rooms" at their facilities, sources said.

    D’Antoni, whose contract expired with the end of the Western Conference semifinals on Saturday, turned down extension offers prior to the season.

    A bad fit is hoping Lillard constantly scores 50 points by dominating the ball and hitting long threes. Even when that works, that makes it harder for everyone to get into rhythm. They need play-making, period, and they aren't going to get that from the three-and-D forward that people think of when talking about fit.



    Yes, some teams will either let guys walk or avoid using the MLE to bring in new guys. The Spurs could easily finagle the space to get an MLE. I don't think teams are going to be dumping stars to save money, but some will dump stars to rebuild, and some won't want to take on stars or high picks due to the contract. Like the Spurs might be able to get up to the second-overall pick just by taking on Wiggins for Murray and Gay, because no one else wants to take on that kind of salary right now. The Spurs can definitely handle it, especially if they don't intend to play the market in 2021.

    Teams also will fall off. Like Phoenix was awful all year and just randomly caught fire. That doesn't mean they're actually going to challenge for a playoff spot. Memphis on the other hand was playing about their talent level were actually helped by the break even though they looked bad. Utah, OKC and Houston may well shift direction completely and trade away key players. The Spurs have the means to push for that fourth spot if they really want to go for it. But the question is going to be whether they are willing to pay the cost of making that run. I think they'd rather be sellers, but they're in the position to be buyers for the first time in a while.



    I don't think LMA's on the team after next TDL if he doesn't sign an extension. I don't think the Spurs are thinking about this upcoming season as a le run, so they're probably not going to really want to play out the string with him unless they're more than content to let him walk. I think he'll play through his age-38 season. I don't think he's losing all this weight with the goal of retiring in mind. If that's true, and he has three more years in him, then there's zero reason to care about Poeltl's youth. He simply isn't good enough to worry about losing. Like if the team had everything put together and needed to know the five was locked down with their young perimeter core, that could make sense. Jakob is not a wing; him being an okay starter with good defense and efficient but sporadic offense doesn't automatically give him decent value. An extended LMA is the better short-term and long-term play. Of course, I was pushing for SA to trade Poeltl away to move up in the draft last year. So I definitely recognize the advantage of getting value out of guys you aren't going to keep. I just don't see a reason to prioritize making the lesser player happy.
    -True, though I don't think DeMar is the right player to help change how Portland plays.

    -Other west playoff teams may get worse but certainly not enough to make the Spurs able to challenge for a top 4 seed. Most team's weren't expected to have cap space, and many weren't expected to have access to the full MLE even before Covid.

    -It definitely changes things and impacts the financial situation but don't think it will result in good teams getting significantly worse. They may not get better-- which is an issue, in and of itself, for teams who are trying to compete for a le though.

    -Assuming the Spurs keep most of this team together, minus Forbes and Belinelli, they'll be good enough to compete for the playoffs-- possibly even without Aldridge, but definitely not a top 4 seed IMO. There's always the risk that Aldridge and/ or Gay declines-even DeMar. Were that the case, then this team could back in the same spot as they were for much of this season.

    -I doubt they are willing to pay that cost, just to chase the playoffs-- or at least they shouldn't. I wouldn't get the reasoning tbh. I also have my doubts about LMA playing another 3 seasons, he may hold up pretty well but I don't think he's given indication that he plans to play that long and I don't even think he'll necessarily be a Spur for the rest of his career.

    They should shop Aldridge and try and get the best possible return and then play out next season before proceeding with a rebuild/ heavy retooling.

    Sources: The NBA has sent teams revamped guidelines informing them that it is organizing the 2020 pre-Draft process (preliminary schedule Sept. 21-Oct. 16) — which will include 85 prospects conducting in-market medical exams, testing, and shooting 45-minute “Pro Day Video.”
