It'd be absolutely ing hilarious if they can't trade any one of Mills/Gay/Derozan/LMA for a single asset. Jesus christ, this FO.
Signing DD for as much as we can?

I'm leaning towards them just missing the playoffs if everything remains the same. I'd rather they just make a move to at least form a compe ive, interesting team then let come what may. The team seems rudderless and the product is just plain awful, imho.
Yeah, they're obviously not all-in on winning right now and have been actively opening spots for youngsters while not bringing on vets with long-term deals. But they are also not doing what's best for the team's future.
So it's difficult to understand what they're trying to do when they're not taking either of the two most obvious routes. Hopefully it makes sense at some point down the line but for now it looks like the Spurs are rudderlessly drifting between the two strategies.
if PATFO is thinking no forbes and no marco is good enough
BOO ING HOO CRY
Now, if the Spurs can trade Aldridge for some value/ any value/ young player with upside/ picks. I will consider this offseason as a success (with the addition of defense minded Vassell & Tre Jones to replace Forbes & Belinelli).
Good deal, I do think people underestimate Poetl’s worth on the market. If LMA can be moved eventually the deal will look even better. I also think the contract can be traded to a contender in a year or two if need be, assuming the Spurs muster the courage to make a trade.
Fair price. Do you guys see what others are getting? Morris got 16 a year, C Wood (whoever that is) got 14, Davis got 16, Galo got (who I like but is not worth) 20 mil a year.
I’d put his 9 mil a year right on track with market.
Team should be a lot more interesting just for the fact that Forms and Beli have been jettisoned. That's 50-60 mins opened up for the youngins.
It honestly sounds like handling Pop with kid-gloves. Like a retirement home for him. And I'm not a Pop hater.
Something tells me watching DDR/LMA/Gay continue to throw up a ton of fadeaway bricks every night is still going to be boring as .
I haven't seen anything on Poeltl's deal, but 27M/3.24 is $8.33 Million. That gives the Spurs another $300k. That'd leave the team $200k short of another minimum salary.
didn't say it was going to be that much better
Lma needs to get dealt for this deal to be worh it for sa
After the way he got his ass beat in the bubble the spurs reward him? Sounds about par for the last 5 years of free agent signings
They aren't that expensive, especially if Weatherspoon stays on a two-way deal. But the capulator won't let you set contracts lower than what it determines is the rookie min. It still operates as if the cap projections are good.
It's a rough guess, but it does give one an idea of where the salaries are.
That's a disaster in the West.
9 mil per is def a nice raise for poodle power
Two-way players can play up to 50 games this season, right? Considering there are only 72 games, just adding another two-way guy will be plenty. A roster with 14 players and a pair of two-wayers is easily deep enough.
The best use of the excess money would probably be to hold it into the regular season in case there's a youngster who emerges in the G League who you can add with a multi-year deal at the minimum.
I thought that was DeJounte?
Haven't you seen all the endless posts about how the 29th pick, who is a solid contributor, but is miscast as a lead guard is trash, "overpaid" and needs to be traded?
If/when DeJounte leaves then Lonnie or some other unfortunate soul will come along to be derided about his game/social media posts/"character" by SpursTalk.
Anyway Poeltl got more than I'd have liked but apparently this is the off-season to start handing out $8 - $10 million to backup bigmen.
Needs to show more on the offensive end to really live up to the contract & heightened expectations. And the Spurs could use a much, much better running mate than Lyles, Gay and/or (maybe) Samanic in the frontcourt.
This forum is re ed. This is barely overpaying. A little high but more than reasonable. Hopefully this is a precursor to LA leaving.
Carroll taking the last roster spot and not playing again
If this was literally any other franchise, I'd say all signs/moves since the restart point to LMA getting moved.
It just makes so much sense until he's back in a Spurs uniform in a month and the Spurs are paying 11mil for his backups
