Is the assumption that a) Spurs move Diaw b) sign Gasol for ~17M/season?
If so, likely not enough money for Boban and Spurs couldn't take any salary back for Diaw, correct? All rookie, exceptions, and vet mins thereafter?
Aldridge is not a "name", bro..he's known in NBA circles, but he is nowhere near the star that Westbrook or Griffin are..

Bruh. Zaza makes no sense. Either go Pau and try to improve (regardless of fit vs GS) or just take some fliers on young upside and wait until next year to make big push.
I really thought Durant was going to sign a 1+1 with the Thunder. But other than that, this postseason has played out pretty much like I expected. The problem is, it looks like the Spurs are stuck in that in-between, where they almost certainly can't win it all, but won't get ping-pong balls either. That makes it just that much harder to improve significantly in 17-18. Personally, I'd still like to see the Spurs have a 40-win season, and have a bunch of expiring contracts at the end of the season. With all the shifting of personnel, and the fact that the East has soaked up a bunch of talent? The Spurs will probably have a 50-54 win season, and a second-round exit. Maybe some of the imports and young guys will be hungry enough to at least put some questions in peoples' minds.
The way I see things right now, just how well the Spurs do this season will depend on how well Parker can move the offense.
Woj just tweeted Duncan is strong considering retirement
Whether he's as big as Durant/WB/Griffin to me does not matter. Players go where they think the money is and where they can win.
LAL is a huge market with tons of money and can't get meetings. If SA has money, has a talented roster, they will have a shot.
Spurs are content to sit this summer out. They're probably in Europe scouting some dude in the rec league of a country no one has discovered yet.where the spurs moves at?
kinda feel 'sorry' for aldridge, he's stuck with kawhi leonard and tony parker
he's probably regretting his decision right now
Good. Like I said, no need to waste the man's time and health forcing him to be one of only two bigs showing up in the playoffs just to lose to the GSW super team.
Rest easy, Tim. You did everything you could.
Worse unfortunately
"Leaning towards strongly"
The considering part would be same old business.
Duncan retiring means the Spurs are probably the #1 choice for Gasol now, I suppose..
man, is getting dark. Not sure I'm going to enjoy this upcoming season if TD actually calls it quits.
If Duncan retires does any of the $5.6M on his contract for this coming season count against the Spurs cap?
It's not surprising unfortunately - Tim opting in made this the likely logical outcome. Still sucks if true - not only because SA will have lost another big, but it's Tim and he's gone.
6/21 in a crucial Game 5. Yeah I feel "sorry" for the softie who hasn't rung yet.
Chris Broussard of Spurstalk. Literally states the obvious on every take...
Spurs are under no legal obligation to pay Tim if he retires, but they likely will. Whatever they pay him up to his contract amount counts against the cap this year unless they "spread" his salary
Damn Woj coulda waited before tweeting that
Everyone still buzzing with the durant move, immediately spurs fans get this news
Damn. Spurs would be better off signing the guy in black shirt. Almost as big and more mobile.
Um, that's why there was a 5+ page argument vs. me about Aldridge being a legit star, you clown
I think we should all acknowledge the extreme cir stances that led LMA to SA. First, he wanted out of Portland because they were a middling playoff team and he was no longer #1. Second, money wasn't his #1 priority. Lastly, he was a "low key" personality that didn't mind coming to a culture where that was the norm.
KD had many if the same traits, but the pull from Golden State was too strong. I don't think there are many other LMAs or KDs out there. I wouldn't include Westbrook in that group.
"Not the point. This is the reality right now."
Unless Pau signs for a steep discount, that would be a huge mistake IMO. Especially if they give him more than 1 year. Bring in some guys to develop, and who will be part of the core going forward.
I don't think the Spurs are looking to throw away the season completely like some of the fans here are. ing nut up and stop being pussies.
