    I don't want to pay him the full MLE. He doesn't have much of jumper. He's a pure 4 who's pretty reliant on athleticism. He's 34 next season... A full MLE would take him to 37. 1 Year at the MLE might be OK, but I'm thinking there are a) better places to put the investment, and b) he won't sign for just 1 year. If he gets greedy though, he may be stuck looking at a vet min deal after the initial flurry of deals; at that point, he'd be attractive (depending on roster at that point, of course).
    Sorry, I meant the full MLE for next year, not a long term one. Basically, bring back Gay the use the available money on Taj Gibson. I think Spurs beat the Nuggets with another solid big man. Thad Young or Julius Randle would be better, but I don’t think either is realistic for us.

    We have a ton of wing players. Spurs still got Lonnie Walker to develop.
    I mean more of a big wing SF/PF player, Lonnie is more of a SG.

    Metu will be fine. Let the kid develop.
    timvp said that he was drafted on the basis of setting great picks at USC, and rolling to the rim. If that's his skill set, he should ing stick to it. He's a walking disaster handling or shooting the ball.

    Taj is getting to that point where he can no longer switch out effectively, and would get pick and rolled to death in the playoffs, much like Beli did this year. Taj from 4-5 years ago would still have value, but he ain't that guy any more.

    Spurs need forwards who can defend and shoot the 3. A player who can't do both of these things shouldn't even be on their radar

    Definitely over blowing things to make yourself feel right. Whatever.
    Metu is a second round big with good athleticism. Let him develop a little before your incredible basketball mind shoves him aside.

    Trade Bertans for a late 1st

    PG: Murray/ White/ Mills
    SG: DeRozan/ Lonnie/ Forbes
    SF: Gay/ Luka Semanic/ Isaiah Roby
    PF: Aldridge/ Grant Williams/ Ben Moore
    C: Poetl/ Metu/ Eubanks

    With this line-up, we go to the Finals. Its a complete roster with no handicaps at defense. Everyone is switchable. Adding three players with tons of potential. Thats still 14 players, room for one more with the MLE.

    Watching some tape on Neemias Queta, he looks like an interesting prospect.

    true but Pop plays him out of position. He's a 2 not a 3

    Pop don’t even play rookies. Bertrans barely played in the playoffs, yet without him we are going to the finals the following year

    In this scenario Gay and Aldridge take up a lot of minutes allowing the rooks to grow through the season.

    that line up doesn't make it out of the first round. Use the MLE on somebody significant instead of adding 3 rookies

    The clippers made the playoffs with 3 rookies. Don't go full pop and think only veterans can get it done.
    Never go full pop!

    As long as Pop is the HC, you gotta tailor your projections to his propensities.

    I agree. But he also said last year was one of his more favorites. I wonder if he is softening up to younger players. And gets to be a bit more of a teacher again, rather than a manager

    So did the Spurs and I said they would again but be a first round out like the Clippers. It's about improving and you don't improve by adding 3 rookies. Need to add at least 1 good 3

    What are you proposing with our 3 picks? I already said we are able to use the 3 picks AND the MLE to improve. How much change do you think will happen this offseason?

    yet when you predicted next years roster you added 3 draft picks and Eubanks while also trading Bertans
