Official 2016-2017 NBA Season Thread - NBA rules Chris Bosh has a career ending injury

[BIG LEEMELONE]

No they're not. At worst they're done after this season. And they actually could decline the options.

I was half trolling but think about it. Those contracts are gonna keep them from adding a lowry and the reason they're gonna lose Simmons and Patty. Spurs window is right now. Moz/Deng don't interfere with adding a Paul George next year and worst case they could be stretched. In a relative sense, those k's are worse for their team than the Lakers k's

 

[MVP]

They can keep Simmons he's a RFA. And go after a free agent next summer. They can always get rid of LMA for additional cap relief or in a deal to acquire somebody else.

 

[Proposition Joe]

CP3 to San Antonio?

No no no no no, don't want to be set back more than we already are

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Well besides Simmons you didn't refute anything I said. Patty and Lowry adios. Replace lma with Moz/Deng and the Lakers could do the same. I don't think teams are that thirsty to trade for Aldridge

PHX would take him in a heartbeat. Any Spurs fan would tell you next year was going to be a wash regardless. Summer of 2018 is when they can reload.

And I refuted your point with the simple fact that Pau and Lee can decline their player options and make all your bloviating moot.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

So the same case as the Lakers then?

Pau gonna get a better contract/team than sas? Lee? Doubtful they decline those options

 

[MVP]

So the same case as the Lakers then?

Mosgov and Deng are on the books. Pau and Lee don't have to be. There's a clear difference.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Lakers could sign a max this season regardless of those contracts. Spurs can't. They're on the books until they aren't on the books. You're really pinning your hopes on two washed mid 30s vets to turn down contracts on a wcf team to roll the dice in free agency. When does that ever happen

 

[MVP]

Pau Gasol just opted out from Chicago last season right? You can opt out and resign for less, it's how the Spurs have done business the last decade. Convincing vets to take less to stay in contention. Now it's out of the realm of possibility?

And this over Kyle Lowry who never shows up in the playoffs? Blessing in disguise anyway.

They can get George Hill for half the money and it would literally not take much at all you make room for him.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

You're hella reaching . When none of that happens I'll be here to rub it in your face. And again the Lakers don't need any of those unlikely scenarios to play out in order to sign a max so..

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

This lee vs mamba thing going on in every thread is popcorn material

 

[P C H]

Pau and David aren't declining their player options they'd be dumb to do so.

Spurs just can't come close monetarily to get a CP or Kyle.

They shouldn't tbh, but the Spurs have done it before. CP0 and Lowry are both bad fits anyway. Hill and Teague would be better options anyway.

Don't feel like looking back in the thread but how would the spurs be able to afford Hill? He getting at least 20 per year.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

No to lowry because he sucks in the playoffs but teague is a better option . You can't make this stuff up

 

[MVP]

You're hella reaching . When none of that happens I'll be here to rub it in your face. And again the Lakers don't need any of those unlikely scenarios to play out in order to sign a max so..

You keep talking about Gordon Hayward correct? His max deal starts at 30.6 million. Lakers have about 25 mil in cap space now with the #2 and #28 picks. So we actually don't have space for a max deal thanks to Deng and Moz.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Hill getting a bag

He's a great fit for Utah but he got over hyped a bit and now someone's gonna pay too much for him

 

[lovehateself]

So they're not giving they keys to Murray ?

Guess it depends on if Manu retires

 

[hardens beard]

Yep. And if they decline their options, the spurs would have to renounce their cap holds. They would be left with only room exceptions to resign them. This is if they're planning on signing a FA with the money they saved.

 

[drewsone]

No no no no no, don't want to be set back more than we already are

We as in the Spurs?

 

[hardens beard]

Utah has no choice but to pay him. They gonna regret that deal tho. Never max out 30 year old guards

Trade 28, stretch Deng. Much more realistic. If magic is God like you say he is then Hayward won't be able to turn him down

 

[MVP]

I think they'll wait until Hayward makes his decision before deciding. There's younger and cheaper options they could go with. If Gordon goes to Boston, then you have to build around Rudy and that makes giving Hill a bag more tricky.

I thought we had space already though. You were wrong.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Did I say we had space or did I say..
