In the year of our lord 2020 where Dwight Howard signs a vet minimum deal and Joe Harris/Davis Bertans sign for a combined $155 million. Do you honestly think Trey Lyles plays the 4 in any NBA lineup next season?
I will go on the record right now saying that if they run it back they will not get out of the first round if they even make the playoffs.

I would suggest you don't understand the team's strategy or why Poeltl is important to developing the young wings and guards.
Trade Lamarcus. Why the would you bring Poetl back at that price if you aren't willing to get something for LA.
When did that happen?
What pure ing gibberish. What does Dwight Howard, an actual center, have to do with whether Trey Lyles, who is not a center, is a center? What does Joe Harris, who is not a center, or Davis Bertans, who is not a center, have to do with whether Trey Lyles, who is not a center, is a center?
Good ing grief.
I mean, I don't think SA is scared of being knocked out in the first round. Seems like a good outcome for a team that still has all of its picks and tons of cap space next summer.
Here are the numbers I have..
DeMar DeRozan: $27,739,975
LaMarcus Aldridge: $24,000,000
Rudy Gay: $14,500,000
Dejounte Murray: $14,286,000
Patrick Mills: $13,535,714
Jakob Poeltl: $8,650,000
DeMarre Carroll: $6,167,887
Trey Lyles: $5,500,000
Devin Vassell: $4,033,440
Derrick White: $3,516,284
Lonnie Walker IV: $2,892,000
Luka Samanic: $2,824,320
Keldon Johnson: $2,048,040
Drew Eubanks: $1,620,564
Tre Jones: $898,310
Quinndary Weatherspoon: Two-Way
Total: $132,212,534
Luxury Tax Threshold: $132,627,000
So, that's a cool $400,000 below the threshold if the salaries are accurate
sniffvp waking up
I'll take Chinook's input and say that we do give some minutes to the highest lottery pick since Duncan...
After ten games into the season:
Murray/ Lonnie/ Tre
White/ Vassell/ Mills or Q (Mills for offensive spark, Q for a defensive stop)
DeMar/ Keldon/ Q
Lyles/ Gay/ Samanic
Aldridge/ Poetl/ Eubanks
Mills needs to take a back seat and take more of a mentor role.
Lonnie's improved playmaking can make him the engine of the second group.
That is happening with the Spurs not signing any vets. They have no choice but to play the young guys a lot.
I mean, he's not going to sign that contract with us, we're not the Lakers and we don't have LeBron.
He's not though. That's the narrative generated by the big geniuses of this board for some reason. I mean, I'm not a huge Poeltl fan, but something like 85% of this board is completely wrong about this one.
A team needs a mobile rim protector.
Thats what he does at a high level.
If they drafted defense, they bolstered it right here.
His offensive role is screen / off. rebs and easy finishes.
Can't be mad with that.
Also, what's with that "masterplan" regarding next years cap space.
It’s just funny seeing Carroll on that list. Lord.
If the Spurs mess around with White because they want cap space and do that because they signed Poeltl they are idiots.
Nope. The game hasn't changed that drastically. Case in point, the Rockets. There is little value for a post-up center who plays mediocre defense such as Jahlil Okafor. There is a lot of value still for a jumperless center who is very good at defense and unlocks various offensive actions for guards/ wings in a guard dominated league.
Your dismissal of Lyles as a center negates the statement from your perspective, so there's nothing I can say to convince you otherwise.
Hollinger thinks Poeltl is worth more than we’re paying...
Jakob Poeltl (R), San Antonio — $13,166,442
Poeltl is a traditional, unsexy center and that may cap his market at the midlevel exception, especially since the Spurs can match any offer. His lack of floor spacing capability and iffy mobility above the 3-point line conspire against him in the pace-and-space era.
But within his role, he’s really good. For a big lug, he’s actually pretty nimble, blocking shots around the rim, positioning himself well in drop coverages and dominating on the glass. Offensively it’s a similar story, as he can’t shoot and has a pretty blah post game, but combats that with a good feel, hard screens, and solid finishing around the basket.
The 25-year-old Austrian may not progress much beyond this level, but it’s pretty easy to see him as the Spurs’ starting center once LaMarcus Aldridge moves on. At anything in the $10 million range, he’s worth it.
the gift that keeps on giving
Without a doubt Dejounte, but that’s the point. Why wasn’t that determined earlier? It sounds like another experiment on the cards where our two leading scorers don’t fit together on the court and don’t fit with a newly re-signed center. The draft suggested to me we were heading into position-less type basketball - when now 3 guys (who all have to play), are anything but...
Bingo.
Hopefully there is a strategy that makes this make sense. I don't see it right now but admittedly there could be more to the story.
its actually not high at all, NYC would of gave him MAX money...
I will say this tho... he will be a great trade asset
Chinook, a Question : You have both "Tre Young" (who I presume is Tre Jones) and Weatherspoon at $963 005 each. Are they really that expensive? Weatherspoon is probably still on a 2 way and Tre Jones might end up on one - how much space would that give us?
