    What kind of point is that?

    Are you saying he is going to be signed for that amount?

    And are you saying the Spurs could get him for that amount?
    No, but Atlanta is overpaying a lot of players already...how much more do you think they'll offer him?

    Thanks.

    More than the Spurs could offer.

    Atlanta could give both Smith and Childress near max deals this summer and still have no tax problems for years to come.

    When I look at this summer FAs, draft prospects and trade possiblity, i have a hard time to see how Spurs FO will be able to improve the team for next year.
    It looks like a damn hard task (even harder is Splitter don't sign with Spurs). Spurs FO will need to have a near perfect offseason. Otherwise, Spurs will be one step behind some teams next year.
    Thats what worries me the most. Most of the guys that would fit are restricted free agents. Do you think there is a chance of landing Azubuike or J.R. Smith for the MLE? I gues Azubuike is more likely because the Warriors are stacked at the wing and have Ellis/ Pietrus as free agents.

    If the Spurs get too caught up in trying to avoid the lux tax then they really have no room to make improvements this summer unless they move Ginobili....

    The Spurs will have a ton of room under the tax threshold. The trick will be working the right deals to fill up that room.

    Eh I don't take as dim a view, but agree to disagree.

    They're probably gonna resign Thomas and Oberto....and they could get Devin Brown back for cheap....

    JR Smith has has a very good end of the season. I guess Denver will try to keep him even if they have some luxury tax troubles.
    Warriors will have choices to make between Azubuike, Barnes and Pietrus. I don't know what will be their choice but if I was there, I would keep Azubuike because he is restricted (easier to keep) and cheaper.

    Oberto is already under contract, why would they re resign him?

    Thomas could be back, but it more than likely depends if Splitter comes over.

    I am not aware of the cap situation in Denver but if you sign him for the MLE and they match would that mean he would cost them ca. 10 mio a year if they are over the threshold? I doubt they would pay that much.

    Your right, Hoopshype has his contract undisclosed...none-the-less, I could see the Spurs taking a look at Mickael Pietrus

    The Spurs have needed to have invested in a young swingman about 2 seasons ago. With Manu breaking down and getting older, that urgency is now ramped up. Really they could use two new swingmen (draft and FA)

    That said, does anyone think DeMarr Johnson has a place on the roster next season?

    Bench doesn't need rebuilding. I want almost everyone back. Just a few additions and moving a couple people up the depth charts.
    Disagree completely. Now they may not be able to pull it off now, but there should be at least 4-5 new faces on this roster next year. They cannot continue to stay in contention with 8 guys on the roster, that are 35 years old and older

    Yes, you're right.
    It's a lot of money to spend but they made a lot with AI and Melo merchandising.
    I remember of a Nuggets' beat-writter saying that they could try to keep Smith and sold their draft pick to make some cash.

    Any young guys from our current roster expected to play summer league? (Bonner, Udoka?) Who have the Spurs invited to play?

    We could really use Game 5, 6, 7 of the NO series Udoka, all season long.

    This is a bit simplistic, but the Spurs need more guys who can score and take some of the regular season burden off the big 3.

    Also, Pop needs to be willing to give some of the younger talent some PT during the season. These guys aren't going to develop by sitting in suits behind the bench. I'm thinking of Ian in particular.
    ....and don't forget DeMarr Johnson. , I'd even give Darius Washington another look. For all the productivity JV gave us, Pop could've given this guy valuable minutes during the winter months. Perhaps he could've developed to a point where he could've spelled Tony. Seems that Pop still has Beno hangover because he doesn't trust young players.

    Ian and many of the other Toros will probably be there, maybe a draft pick or two. The roster won't be finalized until right before Vegas.

    ...assuming he'll opt out of his contract with Phoenix, I wouldn't mind the Spurs signing Grant Hill to replace Horry or Finley's salary slot...

    Herrmann is a really intriguing prospect.

    He could be had for cheap, his stock isn't that high.
    Anybody know what Hermann's contract status is?

    I'm pretty sure he will be a restricted free agent.

    replacing two old guys, with one who can't even stay healthy even IN the regular season??

    i don't think that's the best option.

    What about Ronny Turiaf? He'd also be a fine addition at PF. He's a young, energetic RFA, yet I wonder if the Fakers would have enough $$$ needed to keep him around.
