"Kawhi doesn't come back next season"...Surprise, surprise, another troll-thread.
Pop's 70 years old, he would retire in one/two years...Manu/Parker/LMA/Pau like 150 years together...Spurs should keep Kawhi to lure FAs at least.
Besides re-signing Manu and Tony to multi-year deals?
IMO:
- Let Fathead, Forbes walk
- Try to salary dump Mills and Pau, make as much room as possible
- Put all the chips on Lebron. Even if we have to absorb some cancer contracts like Danny's extension and bring in friendkiller.
With that said, considering PATFO recent moves, realistically:
- We're keeping Mills and Pau
- We give $10m to Fathead, taking us completely off the Lebron sweepstakes ("Once it was clear Kawhi wasn't coming back, we had to shore up the SF position")
- We trade Kawhi for Austin Rivers, Patrick Beverly (more PGs obviously) and Boban
- We keep White so he can watch Forbes play his minutes

Can we trade for Simmons/Saric?
buy some plane tickets to seattle for opening night
Stand pat or try to find Bonner
I don't disagree with any of this. I too fully expect the latter to happen.Besides re-signing Manu and Tony to multi-year deals?

No Kawhi, no reason for Lebron to come to SA.
An hero.
Tony and Manu multi-year deals? If anything they should either get vet minimum or retire.
Try to re-sign Green or Bertans.
Match any offer for Kyle
Staying in San Antonio
Every position except for whatever position LMA plays tbh. So basically every position lol oh yeah and a new head coach.
Lebron isnt coming without kawhi. He wants rings. If Kawhi doesnt sign an extension, we simply trade him. Depending on who we trade him for, for instance, if we get a young player and picks, then we also trade LaMarcus for pics and young talents if u can. Especially after the monster season he is having. If we get a seasoned player for kawhi we keep trucking along with LA. I prefer picks so we can tank a season or two and get even more pics.
If my team is going to suck, I'd rather watch youngins with potential. Fathead is not that. He is who he is. A 6 points in 30 minutes kind of guy. Let him team up with Jimmy in China.
Kyle Anderson will be a glue guy for years. His defense is very good, and he will only get better as his body matures. His shot is getting better. His in-between game is there. He helps on boards and plays unselfishly. He doesn't complain about no play calls he is getting. He probably doesn't even have one play written or practice for him. You can plug him into many situations. And he should come cheap because of stats.
Niccas here as delusional as LG Lebron aint coming to the west and even if he were ... be Rox and not Lakers or Spurs.
Draft a 6’ PG along with draft/stash a 7’ Euro C
Put the Riverboats in dry dock. Turn 1 into a restaurant
That last sentence is a solid point. Contract size correlates heavily with scoring average, so a guy who does everything well except scoring in bunches is usually underpaid. Front offices are getting smarter but only slowly.
Spurs could also fully guarantee Gasol's last year for loyalty reasons. With how stacked the guard lineup is a draft and stash with the #22 pick sounds reasonable too.
SAS speaking 100% facts!
Ok, I am assuming you mean come back to play this season (not say, demands out...)
The elephant in the room is how much extension do you offer Kawhi? Can a responsible FO offer the full DVPE (starting maximum of 35% of the cap, up to 8% raises, for up to 6 years, including next year) to a player who has a ongoing long term injury issue, that has no resolution in sight? If he goes to FA after next year, the maximum another team can offer him is 30% and 4 years (and 5% raises). This decision has to be priority #1. Further, it triggers the potential second highest priority - if Kawhi won't sign an extension, he needs to be traded, and getting best value for that will be difficult.
Secondary priority is how to fix our guard rotation, particularly the PG slot. IMO we should move Mills - he is, IMO, not good enough to be starter, and is paid too much relative to his production. TP9 should resign on a current Manu level contract (~ $2.5 Million, which is to say the vet minimum), but I am unsure if the FO will offer him more. Say goodbye to Forbes- he is Mills but worse... In theory this leaves us with a Dejounte, Parker, White PG rotation, with potentially White or DJ seeing some more minutes at SG
If Lebron is a real possibility, he should of course be explored, but I do not see a clear path to getting him.
If Danny opts out (which I maintain would be silly of him - he's going to have a very hard time getting $10 million anywhere else in the coming low cash FA market; he's be better off next year), I would ask of him the courtesy of being given a chance to match whatever contract he gets - with a standing offer from us of slightly more than the MLE ($9 million, 4 years, 8% raises).
Kyle is in a similar situation - except he's an RFA and thus we get the opportunity to match - let him explore the market and tell us what he can get. Having a standing offer of just slightly more than the MLE ($9 million, 4 years, 8% raises).
Bertans: let him explore the market, and ask for the courtesy of the opportunity to match whatever offer he gets. Don't match anything more than $5 million, and probably not even that...
Finally, we have the exceptions to use - we have the full MLE (8.5 Million), and Bi-annual exceptions (3.3 Million, we didn't use it last year), and of course, the vet min. Look to add talent - there should be some available in this low-cash FA season...
Rather have Jimmer tbh, at least he has a hot wife that comes to games. Better to look at that all of the Silver Dancers tbh
Depends on what happens with Kawhi and who is retiring but for all the criticism that can be laid on a thin front court with little depth (Kawhi isn’t playing so it makes them thinner)... they have to do something about this:
This is nothing new. It was the same last season too.
For a team that has about 8 guards none of them are any good offensively. Mills is their best offensive guard right now and he is above his depth in many games. White might be better but he’s not playing perhaps next season he gets his chance but that’s not going to be enough probably.
They need an offensively skilled guard. And it would be nice to have a big that can protect the rim. They have run LMA to the ground this year and their other center is 75 yrs old...

No more old, undersized, offensively inept, non-athletes. Let's start there.
