We still have Jones too. That's a good group that just needs one more large big

If Asik is gone, you need at least two more bigs.

Neither Asik or Dwight can really play PF. Parsons playing PF is asking for trouble. So TJ is really your only PF. What if he is in foul trouble? What if he sprains his ankle? Gotta do something there so Jones isn't your only hope at PF.

No one believes in DMo, right?

Ya, there is no reason to believe in D-Mo. He cant shoot and is too small to use his post up moves.

I would think you start:

Bev
Harden
Parsons
Jones
Howard

First off bench:

Johnson or Canaan
Daniels
Ariza
D-Mo
FA Backup C or Asik

It would be nice to fill out the roster with a backup C to Dwight and maybe one other big (PF or C)

How much would someone like Ed Davis cost?

Haha I definitely wouldn't want him on the team... Just kinda looking at unrestricted PFs who are still out there

Spurs are in the same boat.

It is tough in a market where Jordan Hill gets $9mm/year.

Blatche, Elton Brand, Charlie V, Kenyon Martin, Kris Humphries, Al Harrington, DeJuan Blair - not a lot out there.

Listening to Charlie's show while at the gym. This is sad how the tables turned so quickly. The show started with being the most optimistic I've heard him ending with what we know now.

But it's not really all that bad. We bring back the same team except with Ariza and no Lin. We just fast forwarded things one year signing parsons to big contract.

Parsons deserves 9/10 million a year. Not 15+

We go from having to manny 4s to not enough

We don't have choice mr. Bond. It's like Sumlins contract, I don't know if he's worth his fat contract but the cost of losing what he's building would be too much. I just hoped parsons isn't topped out just yet.
Mr.Bond

Fact of matter is Parsons is not twice the player Ariza is. So why pay him twice the money? Why have 23 MILLION tied up in the same position and neither of the two are one of our best two players? This team with Parsons still isn't better than San Antonio, LAC, or Okc

Because if you don't match him, you just got worse and still don't have cap space.
Mr.Bond
How long do you want to ignore this user?

So let's just fill the cap up for the next 2 years and remain at best 4/5 seed. Got. It
Dan Scott

Yeah that sucks because we still don't have a 4 to guard the 4s out west but losing him were worse off.

Right now we're hoping that Dwight plays like he did against Portland, TJ grows up, parsons isn't topped out, and harden get his he's out of his ass and plays some D.

Maybe too much to ask for.

We guarded Ibaka with Harden.

They don't have max space next year even if they let Parsons go. They will have ~53mm in salary including Bev's cap hold for 8 players. Plus 2mm in cap holds for empty spots and the Rockets have about 8mm in space, assuming no one else gets a 2-year contract and they let Asik, Powell, Casspi and Daniels walk.

I think what we really need is D-Mo to progress. But we also have a lot of other inexperienced players who can and should improve, like Beverley, Canaan, Daniels, and Johnson. Cut down turnovers (no Lin, more continuity) will be big too.

We did not need a splash move. Obviously if you can get a guy like Bosh, you do it. But just letting this team grow together is going to help as well. Good teams are not built by constantly replacing key parts.

All in all as long as mcfail is the coach it doesn't matter

As evidenced by the Spurs constantly replacing key parts of the past 20 years?

Duncan, Manu, and Parker? The Spurs sign role players to fit with their core.

You realize the Spurs didn't have the 2014 team together since 1995, right?

Stephen Jackson was the Spurs #2 scorer in 03. Derek Anderson in 01. Robinson and Steve Smith were about even in 02. Kawhi Leonard just won FMVP. All major players for the Spurs, not to mention filling out the team with guys like Diaw, Horry, Kerr, etc.

Great teams usually have 2 players that stay together and multiple players that come and go from year to year. And those great teams do a great job or replacing those players from year to year. The "role players" are often what make the difference in a good team and a championship team.

Soup, I agree with what you said but it also helps when you have the greatest player of the generation and a coach that could get an 8th grade girls B team into the playoffs for 80% of those 20 years
