Patty Mills and the cap flexibility to go for another major acquisition: a wing or an upgrade at the 4.
I'd take a serious look at that.

I'd be fine with Patty, get a stretch 4 to play alongside KAT and not some tall fuck we payin $16 Mil a year
Get people on the damn bench who deserve to play in the NBA
Could work

Wolves have like 5 nba players. They need at least 4 more.

This is Thibs. 2.5 more works (although Holiday and Lowry all have injury problems iirc. Though Lowry was 3rd in the NBA at 37.4 mpg this year (60 games), and was at that level for 77 games the year before, and at 34.5 mpg for 70 games in 2015, and 36.2 mpg for 79 games in 2014... my god. Lowry is going to the Timberwolves...)

It's looking more and more like the Spurs are just going to hold tight this offseason and wait until next summer when they have a ton of cap space. They are probably just going to re-sign players they feel are key for the next 5-6 years like Simmons and maybe Patty. I mean, maybe they go for George Hill, but we will see.
Dejounte Murray has apparently already put on 5 pounds of muscle in the offseason though, and is working out all summer with Kawhi. Gunna be awesome seeing how him and Bertans develop (Summer League!) as I expect both to have a much greater role this season and be part of the regular rotation.

I used to think Jeff Teague was good on Atlanta. But having watched him a ton in Indiana last year, I have no idea why any team would roll with him. I'd much rather try an unproven d-leaguer than an expensive, older, and utterly average point guard. I still can't understand why the Pacers dumped Hill for Teague and I'm even more shocked that other teams -- good teams! -- think he could help their team next season.
I would almost legit consider entering fan free agency

Wait you'd stop rooting for a team... because they got Kyle Lowry and Jimmy Butler in the same FA? You can find depth and get it later on, you don't get actual great players like this normally.
No because they got Kyle "🍑" Lowry
I don't want no expensive ass 31 year old PG
I've been a fan of this team since 2012, we are so damn close to being good again. Having a fucking bench instead of paying Kyle would help a helluva lot
As a spurs fan I am ok with this. I wish we could have got Rubio. I still want LMA off of the team.

The Tyus Jones era begins in Minnesota.
I think Austin Rivers has found his competition in the MVP race.

Lowry is still a good regular season player.

I'm okay with this. Keepin Simmons is all I've wanted for the Spurs this offseason. I'd like them to acquire Hill or Millsap if they can, but that's alright if they dont.
He 31 and gon be expensive. We already ain't have a damn bench.
Having Kyle "There's a player named Mo Cheeks and it wasn't him?!" Lowry ain't gon make that better

Having actually great players starting would help a lot more. Rubio is a good player but Lowry is a -lot- better than him now and will continue to be better than him by a lot the next 4 years.
Honestly though they should have just kept Rubio and realized getting rid of Wiggins for an actually good player would have solved most of their problems.
Think they should call up LA though and see what they want for Beverley. He's easily the best option available taking into consideration the cap assuming the Clips are willing to move him already

I think the Spurs and Knicks should talk. Trading LaMarcus Aldridge for Carmelo Anthony in a straight up player for player trade seems like a good deal for both sides.
Hell no when it comes to Wiggins! The nigga 22!
I ain't wanna get rid of Rubio but fine, but a Patty Mills, a George Hill, a Jrue Holiday, that's what we need. Not Kyle "Big Booty Judy" Lowry

It would be hilarious in a way if, after trading away George Hill for Kawhi Leonard, we get back George Hill and win a championship in a few years.
With a team with Butler and Wiggins we can't afford three people who can't shoot well

I would say our system really made Teague look better than he was. Teague is great but he has glass ankles. If any team can bring out the aggressive Teague then they get a hell of a player. Passive Teague sucks balls.

Damn, i might be in the minority but Rubio for a late 1st round pick? thats a steal for the Jazz but it doesn't look like George Hill will be back. I think Hayward is Boston bound and maybe Utah already knew this and thats why they pulled the trigger on the deal.
Yea, and I think Jimmy handles the ball alot so it kind takes a big thing Rick does away.
Midnight tonight will be exciting when the all the craziness unfolds
HE'S 31

AND EXPENSIVE. YES IMMA COMPLAIN. I WANT THIS TEAM TO HAVE A FUCKIN BENCH SO KAT AND WIGGINS' BODIES CAN LIVE FOR LONGER THAN THREE YEARS

So Rubio and Gobert hate each other apparently...
31 is not 40...he's still got a couple years left. plus, his game is definitely not based on athleticism so you don't need to worry about him falling off overnight.
We ain't gon be payin him fir a couple of years, I don't wanna be payin no 30+ year old for 4/5 years. Nope.

You want a shot at the champ? [NG gif winner July 23]
Hell no, Melo will drive Pop into early retirement. LMA for KLove makes more sense. Love fit better with the Spurs system.

Seriously, you can't just drop by and leave it at that? Are we talking Tony Parker/Brent Barry kind of hate?
I can see someone coming out and over paying for Simmons.

Haha oh crap, that's the only interesting team in this to be honest . Any team willing to spend some serious cash on Iggy are worthless.
Even Spurs though ... what kind of move is that long term?

Spurs don't have to just think long term. They have a team good enough to compete now and they have pieces in place to compete a few years down the line

Btw, Gobert's twitter is underrated when it comes to player-controlled, great at shitposting twitters.

Seems like Teague to Minnesota is a done deal.

On one hand - it's the Knicks.
On the other hand, Jeff Teague seems like the most default, "we just need a point guard" option available. Unless you're being damn careful with how much you pay him and allow yourself space to go for other players, I would never want to be this adamant on Teague
Is he even better than Rubio lol
Absolutely not.
