The most important thing.Do not overpay Ginobili
Do not resign Splitter
Amnesty Bonner
Pray Diaw eats somewhere else and passes his PO
Sign Manu to veteran minimum
Salary Cap boost to 62 million
That would leave us with 30 million
Sign Millsap 8mill per year
Sigh Josh Smith 12mil per year
Sign Jack 6-7 mil per year
Sign Chris Copeland for 3-4 mill per year
Back pay late contracts
PG-Parker-Jack
SG-Green-Manu

So the Spurs will play only 4 players in the 2nd unit? That will be historic!
NO way Josh takes paycut. He aint bout that life. He's looking to be paid to lose aka Joe Johnson status. Millsap maybe with a 10 per contract & I think Jack will get paid & he may want to start. Houston seems right for him.
Lolrible, no offense, man.
The cap isn't going to boost, and Diaw isn't going to opt out. The first thing we know for sure now. The second is pretty likely unless the Spurs want to give him a longer deal.
Jack sucks, and Copeland sucks. Smith isn't bad, but he's not worth the money and won't come off the bench. He's also not a center. Millsap pretty much sucks, but he's the most realistic acquisition you have.
Tiago Splitter fanclub.Where can I sign?
The spurs are going to offer Manu a lot more than the veteran minimum.
Diaw will most likely opt into the final year of his 2 year deal.
Josh Smith wants a max deal and the spurs won't offer him that.
Here's my ideal mock off-season.
If the Spurs stay over the cap:
Trade Bonner and Mills for Derrick Williams.
Re-sign Ginobili and Splitter for whatever they want unless Splitter gets a stupid offer, in which case S&T him for the best big they can.
Use the MLE on Aminu and Prigioni.
If the Spurs go under the cap:
Re-sign Ginobili for the room exception.
Sign Tyreke Evans for $8-10 Million.
Re-sign Splitter for $6.5 Million or trade him and De Colo for a big
Sign Aminu for about $2 Million
Sign Prigioni or Watson for the minimum.
I didn't say anything about Splitter. I think he's useful and should be brought back, but I'm not against upgrading. I just don't think Millsap is anywhere near an upgrade.
Just Replace Josh Smith backing up Duncan with Baynes................... THEN WAKE THE UP.
if you think Josh Smith is going to come to San Antonio where he cant launch 30% FG 20 foot jumpers to his pleasure AND come off the bench behind Paul Millsap who is an inferior player, youre dreaming your ass off.
Derrick Williams

Phase 1: Collect Underpants
Phase 2: ???
Phase 3: Profit
Resign Splitter and Manu for whatever they want? GTFO of here. Manu needs to retire or take veteran's minimum at the most. Splitter can't even shoot over Mike Miller and Norris Cole. How much better is Prigioni than CoJo? Prigioni is as old as my grandma. Were you born in Argentina?
OP I like your little dream team but these people don't understand that it's just that, a dream. You can also switch out Al Jefferson for Josh Smith because Al Jefferson is a more realistic scenario.
Yup. This illustrates the great basketball IQ.Derrick Williams
The whole reason why I said, "re-sign Ginobili and Splitter for whatever they want", is because if the team stays over the cap, it doesn't matter what those make. They could make $10 Million each, and the team would still be under the tax. Prigioni is old, but he's solid, can run an offense and can shoot from outside. He has chemistry with Ginobili, which would help the second unit, and he still allows the team to develop Joseph and De Colo. As I said in the second scenario, CJ Watson isn't a bad choice, either.
Drugs are bad. mkay
You shouldn't do drugs. mkay
If you do them your bad, because drugs are bad. mkay
It's a bad thing to do drugs, so don't be bad by doing drugs. mkay
Don't be bad. mkay
What's the harm in Williams? Trading Bonner for him makes perfect sense. If he ends up busting, he's a good-sized expiring contract. If he ends up reaching his potential, he's a future cornerstone. Pretty good gamble for the team's trash.Derrick Williams

My ideal offseason: Re-sign Manu, sign Tyreke Evans, trade Tiago/Danny/pick for LaMarcus Aldridge.
Duncan/Baynes
Aldridge/Diaw/Bonner
Leonard/draft pick
Evans/Manu/De Colo
Tony/Joseph/Mills
Here's my nightmare offseason scenario:
Resign Splitter $8 million
Resign Manu $ 6 million
Resign Neal $3 million
Keep Bonner
All cap space gone, same team minus Blair with roster of 13 not counting McGrady.
I have seen Prigioni quite a bit, and he wouldn't work for what the Spurs need on the 2nd unit, IMO, because he's not a player that commands attention... He's a solid team-player, good defense, but he's not really aggressive offensively. He's a much more experienced CoJo in a way of speaking. I think the Spurs need more players that are a concern for the opposing team in the second unit. I think Kawhi getting a bigger role and playing a bit with the bench will help, but ideally you want a backup PG that can hit a jumper, or even a guy like Millsap out there, that doesn't rely solely on the pick and roll to get anything done.
I really only saw him in the Knicks' playoff series, but he seemed capable of handling the ball well and hitting open shots. I think that would have gone a long way against Miami. That's what I was thinking about when I suggested picking him up. CJ Watson may be better, but I don't think the team needs to spend a lot of money on another point-guard.
I agree. The Spurs need someone they can go to for shots when the system breaks down. Even Al Jefferson with all his limitations would be good as a bench big if only for that reason (not saying that's even remotely possible or that he'd be worth the contract). That's why I like Evans. A Prigioni/Ginobili/Evans perimeter unit would have a lot of creators who should be able to take advantage of poor defensive rotations, and adding in finishers like Aminu and Baynes should help even more.I think the Spurs need more players that are a concern for the opposing team in the second unit.
