Kinda feels like Parker's legs and Ginobili's big, goofy bobble head could just spontaneously fall off and the Spurs would still make the WCF.
You can sign as many players as you want to the veteran minimum as long as you don't go over 15 roster spots.Any more older FA's out there willing to sign for a Veteran minimum with the Spurs? Do they have any more cap space?
Jason Terry or Tayshaun Prince maybe? Too bad Pierce signed with the Clips already.
Hasn't been mentioned anywhere that I've seen, but there's a solid part of me that says there's a decent chance Terry is back in Dallas on the minimum until he retires.You can sign as many players as you want to the veteran minimum as long as you don't go over 15 roster spots.Any more older FA's out there willing to sign for a Veteran minimum with the Spurs?

So must his agentNBPA must be over the moon about this btw.
If it's just a one year contract (which it should be), maybe he figures he can still get 3/30 next offseason with so many teams having money to burn.Yeah, West must have invested wisely...you have to assume he could have got 30M+ (maybe 3/33 or something?) and he's getting close to last chance for a big deal territory, right?
He'll be 35 next month. Not sure about a "big deal."Yeah, West must have invested wisely...you have to assume he could have got 30M+ (maybe 3/33 or something?) and he's getting close to last chance for a big deal territory, right?
Meh, won't and will look very similar.#readslowerUnless that lottery pick is #4 or lower. #HinkietheprocessI don't see the Lakers arrow as up yet. We have no idea how good Randle or Russel will be (particularly Randle, people just assume he's already good for some reason.)
After this year they likely lose Kobe and Hibbert, who both kind of suck now anyways, and likely won't have a lottery pick to show for it. I don't get the excitement.
Right, this must be what he's thinking. Hope he doesn't blow a knee this year.If it's just a one year contract (which it should be), maybe he figures he can still get 3/30 next offseason with so many teams having money to burn.Yeah, West must have invested wisely...you have to assume he could have got 30M+ (maybe 3/33 or something?) and he's getting close to last chance for a big deal territory, right?
He has made almost 90 million in his NBA career.
Well, 30M vs 1.4M is pretty big. Maybe that deal wasn't it out there, but I'm guessing it was or something very close to it.He'll be 35 next month. Not sure about a "big deal."Yeah, West must have invested wisely...you have to assume he could have got 30M+ (maybe 3/33 or something?) and he's getting close to last chance for a big deal territory, right?
He's just title-hunting at this point.
Which I think is great.

I don't think there will be an appreciable net drop off. I will bet that they move away from the ISO dominant offense from last year and towards the free flowing offense from 13/14. Bringing in guys from ATL and SA can only help with the ball movement. Ross going to the bench and having a defined role should greatly help his game out. The big loss is Amir and replacing him with Biyombo. That'll hurt the offense alot more than losing Williams.Raps are going to regret letting Sweet Lou go. He carried that second unit and the entire team especially once Lowry was injured. Dont get me wrong he is like JR Smith and lost the Raps a fair amout of games with his streaky shooting.

Could be wrong, of course, but if he isn't in Houston that's my guess for him.
Lets hold off on the crazy/bold predictions until we get a little closer to the season.I think the Spurs will be good this season.

According to nba-reference, he's banked 87 MM so far. Surely he can afford to get by on the minimum, but still it's a lot f money to leave on the table.

Gotta admit, it's an interesting storyline. Even if he's hurt, he doesn't seem like one to let go easily.Let's not think about that scenario.Lets say Kobe miraculously stays healthy for the better part of the year. Does he retire? If he doesn't, what do the Lakers do?Isn't this likely kobes last year? If so, with him and Hibbert off the books, they are going to have a dump truck of free cash. Another horrible year isn't going to give any FAs the confidence that this team is heading in the right direction. And it might hinder the development of the 2 good young players they have. They don't need another low lottery pick.

And he was just "okay". Lots of room to improve. And with nobody to stretch the floor.Okafor 20 & 9 in his debut in Vegas.
