I'm crushed, I was hoping to land 50 Mills and Gasol today.
There's no available FA who would have dramaticcally change the course of next year or the franchise but people want a trade for the sake of it.... Spurs weren't offering 100M to Reaves or trading for Lillard, while some FAs who could have interested them decided to stay with their team.
We'll see what happens, but nothing to blame spurs FO for here. Spurs have always been very precuatious in free agency, and it was not in this FA that they were gonna pull a Houston.

Interesting point. Certainly tends to be true of big-stat players.
We are a few days removed from people wanting to spend a second round pick just for the sake of it.
No, this is exactly what they should do. It's not splashy, but keep the powder dry for the years ahead, don't overpay for current players, and they used cap to take on one, possibly two rotation guys and got a second. The massive offseason change happened a couple weeks ago.
A little concerned with the health of our bigs - Collins, Bassey, even Sochan. I do think we need another big in there somehow and not sure what's possible. Kinda wish we grabbed Tracye Jackson-Davis at this point.
Marc Gasol is still active, in Europe. Do it Wright!
Rockets with a bunch of moves but I have no idea what they’re doing.
Mo Bamba maybe.
That's perfect, because neither do they.
Don't worry, they don't either.
I should have specified someone who knows how to play basketball.

did watanabe re-sign already?
Dude was absolute trash for a Lakers team that desperately needed backup C help.
Yup. To the Suns for minimum.
Phoenix.
He's no Kareem but as a third string stiff who can give 5 fouls (trying to convince myself)...
I mean 7.5pt, 5.8 rbs, 0.9 ass in career is not catastrophic either. 68 FT% so you can't hack a Mo, 47 FG%, 36 FG3% (on 2.5 3PA/game), 55 eFG%, 1.3 block/game to go with 0.8 to... That looks like a 3rd big.
As mentioned in my previous post, he's more of a 3rd string and LA may not be the best environment for him..(many players failed there). Note that I'm not pimping the guy, just trying to see what minor move spurs could do to "strenghen" the big rotation.
If you drafted a bunch of guys at once, most of them won't succeed because most don't anyways, wherever they're drafted. That's not to say you shouldn't have a developmental plan for any player you draft, but within certain parameters there's no reason why you can't have 3 at once and be successful, provided you actually PICK RIGHT AND WITH A PURPOSE.
Plumlee, Bamba, Biyombo, in that order just looking for depth on a short contract. Wemby, Collins, and Bassey will all miss some games for one reason or another.
Don't be surprised if they keep Dieng on for another year - he can be a big brother for Wemby and Sidy and move into future position with Spurs staff the following season.
Bamba and Biyambo aren’t even basketball players.
That’s fine for this year.
Gorgui speaks french, I suppose
