Next is Bonner. If he is to be involved in a deal (to shave cap space) Or if the Spurs want to save some extra money themselves for Free Agency, he has to be waived by June 30th.

If we re-sign Manu, I just don't see us going after Tyreke. I think Al Jefferson will be our target, especially if other team's offers for Tiago are out of hand. It's going to be a very interesting offseason. Or we could just re-sign everyone as Pop kind of eluded to after the finals.

False alarm on the Bret Brown to Philly news. Apparently he hasn't even interviewed with them yet.

So... Does anyone actually know who the front office is targeting? We've got plenty of speculation and hopes for free agency in this thread.

Not a clue. Probably wont find out until Monday.

tony allen seems like a guy the spurs would go after. defensive player with developing offensive game.

If his offensive game is developing, how bad was it before? Did he just recently grow hands?


Allen shot 12% from three this year and his FG% has dropped for two straight years, and no one actually guards him. He's also 31 and unlikely to change much at this point. Against the Spurs he couldn't make an open layup.

July 1st is when teams can start negotiations with players.

July 10th is first day players can sign contracts or offer sheets.

Nando said today he will play for the Spurs summer league team in Las Vegas which starts July 12th.

NBA.COM offers a streaming package for Summer league games. $15.00 for all games. https://account.nba.com/summerleaguebroadband

The Spurs Summer League Team hasn't been officially released yet but it is certainly expected to have some interesting names:

Nando De Colo
Aron Baynes
Ryan Richards
DeShaun Thomas
Adam Hanga
Durand Scott
Cory Joseph?

quote:
If Howard decides to stay with the Lakers, then the luxury tax is expected to force the Lakers to consider waiving Gasol via amnesty. In that case several options would be available, including this: the Spurs could re-sign Manu Ginobili, renounce Tiago Splitter and have money under the cap to put in a competitive claim for Gasol. In that case, it could be argued that Gasol would have a greater impact on the championship race than Howard.

Has it been confirmed that Hanga is coming over? It stinks that Bertans tire up his knee, he was supposed to play with us this summer.

It hasn't been confirmed yet but I sure hope he does.

Also forgot about Marcus Denmon. He should be on the squad as well.

Livio Jean Charles will be playing for the FNT so won't be coming over for SL.

Good updates and conversations, guys. Just now getting over Game 6 loss. Life goes on and JFF will get us through until November for sure.

The Rockets waived Carlos Delfino. He wouldn't be a bad choice as a back up wing if he comes cheap enough.

Wonder if he speaks passable French.

He speaks Spanish, which is close enough. I wonder if part of Pop's CIA training included learning the romance languages?

It is my understanding that Pop is fluent in at least one of the Balkan languages, if not more.

I think he may be fluent in Slovenian.

It's worth putting QOs on them. The question is how high do match/sign and trade?

I actually said that in jest, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if he was fluent in several languages.

San Antonio Spurs restricted free-agent center Tiago Splitter could command an offer sheet that averages $8.5 million to $9 million annually, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.

The Portland Trail Blazers are expected to be a suitor for Splitter, league sources said. The Utah Jazz and Atlanta Hawks have salary-cap space, a need for a young center and general managers – Dennis Lindsey and Danny Ferry, respectively – who were Spurs front-office executives when Splitter came into the organization.

He's like the anti-Spur. He would destroy our ball movement

I really hope they contacted him to get other teams to upgrade their valuations (oh, the Spurs are interested? Maybe he's better than we thought) and sign him early, taking someone out of the market for better players.

I can't imagine Monta accepting a role off the bench.
Guitarsoup

Spurs aren't going to sign Monta.

Tyreke is much more plausible.
Enzo The Baker

I hope so. Tyreke talked to the NOLA last night. There are said to be 9 additional teams interested in him. Hopefully we are one of them.
