Myles Turner, Siakam, Porzingis, or John Collins. Find a way
Hmm lottery bound team or team that made it to the finals?

I think the single best thing the Spurs can do this off season is to not re-sign DeRozan. I wish him the best, be it in L.A., Miami, or anywhere else. He's a good guy who just doesn't fit the timeline or the rebuild. The Spurs aren't in the hunt for a le any time soon, so the only thing that should matter is building & developing for the future. If DeRozan comes back, that will be a big chunk of usage rate, minutes, and experience taken away from the young guys who are ostensibly the future. I think it'd be really difficult, after characterizing the drafting of Primo as a Spurs are playing chess while other teams are playing checkers moment, to then turn around and defend bringing back DeRozan, which to me would look like a Spurs are playing checkers while other teams play chess moment.
This. He's a very interesting player. I loved this recap: https://www.blazersedge.com/2021/7/9...trail-blazers, of what he's been for the Blazers when healthy. It's unfortunate for him that he got injured because he would have gotten paid otherwise.
He's had injuries after injuries and 3 ankle surgeries past yeat? The Blazers have moved on from him. I think there's a bigger chance he doesn't play next season than otherwise that's why I would pass.
I actually thought Dieng would be getting offers a little higher than that.
With the number of guards on the team, if Lonnie were to become a scorer like you are alluding to, his trade value would go up and maybe could fetch something more than he would now. I know that sounds counterintuitive but if you have White, Devin and maybe even Primo able to play the two, something has to give and maybe it is using one of them for a real small forward or 4.
Lakers favorites to land gay. Also after fifty mills for the minimum
Apparently there’s mutual interest between DeRozan and the Knicks. I told y’all the Knicks would be after him.
Lets go ny!
Today reminds me of '19 when the big news just after free agency broke was the return of Marco Belinelli to the Spurs. I'd actually be happy with that tonight IF it meant the Spurs picked a plan to keep their powder dry in order to absorb a max player later this season or next summer. That is at least a concrete and admirable direction.... The Simmons asking price is going to fall between now and camp. Several teams are going to spend all their money and lock guys into non-tradable contracts until December. Other players will come on the market...
Picking up two late first round picks (through sign and trades) would be very useful if we need to cobble together, say, three future firsts to absorb a max contract. But it seems like the Spurs don't even attempt to operate with this mindset.
The last few years the Spurs are a B+ on drafting and talent development (Samanic TBD, Primo TBD), a B+ on cap management (Pau Gasol deal is still cringeworthy, but in the distant rear view), and a definite D on asset management. A top 15 front office, but not a top 5 front office.
The asset management piece requires contextualization---the front office is blocked by trying to remain compe ive for Pop. But this is a critical offseason. The FO needs to make good moves. It can't fail another transaction season on the asset management front. A legacy of excellence only provides so much cover for an unexpected period of floundering.
Bring back gorgui!
It’s the same teams getting linked to everybody, maybe wishful thinking but I think the spurs have a sign & traded lined up with Demar for some team not being mentioned
We all hope so
Gay and DDR gone, Dieng back might be it.
Just connecting dots here but the report saying Dallas is out of the Demar sweepstakes would mean he’s off the table to another team so there’s that I guess lol
God yes,please no lauri
Its a matter of time before Zion wants out, they go from targeting Lowry to Devonte Graham lol
I'm fine with this. I was afraid Spurs would overpay for a 9th man. I'd rather see Samanic get PT and the Spurs keep their long term cap clean for someone who could be...better than Lauri.
That's basically three fa's going on cap space teams.
If He prefer Charlotte than us yes but he needs to agree.
I wouldn’t mind dieng back. He didn’t really get a lot of time to gel with the team last year. Plus he really looked saddled by that shoulder injury he got. From what I saw he’ could guard the perimeter somewhat and affect shots around the rim, his shooting will be there once he gets more comfortable with his teammates.
Brian Windhorst just stated on ESPN the Jump that the Bulls are interested in possibly doing a S&T with the Spurs for Lauri.
Sad, but true!!Spurs hold all the cards here, if only I had any confidence in Brian Wright...
Young players with decent trade value on reasonable contracts .
Veterans wanted by contenders, easy to make S&T deals.
A ton of cap space to take bad contracts.
A good GM would accelerate our timeline by a couple of years this summer.
But as per usual, it'll be we like what we have.
Dear god no
Heard it too
