Now Aldridge is probably thinking to himself that he may have made a mistake going to the Spurs, when he could have went to the Lakers lol

Wow. This is crazy.

So if Duncan and Ginobli retire, which I think many people claim they should after this series, the Spurs will have around $76M in salary this offseason. How do they improve this summer to try and stay in semi-contender status?

Since they'll be limited, I'm guessing they'll try and convince the two to stay around one more year for one more chance. That way they stay contenders (at least on paper) and can benefit with the next jump in the cap in 2017.

They are one of the best, if not the very best run organization in the league. I'm sure they have already put together a plan for retooling the team without Duncan and Ginobili this summer long ago. Just like they were ready to grab Aldridge, they must already have their replacements for Ginobili and Parker lined up. Parker will be around, but he's not the main guy to run the team anymore either. Its Leonard, Aldridge, Boban, and however they have lined up as big FA targets this summer. Dwight Howard would actually fit well next to Aldridge and if any coach can get Dwight to finally live up to his potential, its Pop. Mike Conley will be a FA, he could easily slide into the Parker role and run with Leonard and Aldridge.

They'll still have to find some cap room to add either of those players I think.

The THunder threatening for a championship sure put a damper on our Kevin Durant pipe dreams.

Time to wake up

Since last week's piece about the Spurs' free-agent interest in Kevin Durant more than one spy has whispered: They'll court Mike Conley, too


I think he'd be good.
I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.

you vs. the guy she tells you not to worry about

Does Parker come off the bench then? Also, who plays center alongside LMA?

Diaw can be bought out right?

Other FAs: West, Boban, Ginobili, Duncan (last two retiring?)

They could sure use playoff Amir Johnson in the OKC series.

I guess they need the most a PG (perhaps draft?) and a center that isn't undersized? They stashed a Center in the last draft that compares to Splitter.

Does anyone for San Antonio rebound anymore? I mean, seriously, that's been as big of a factor against them as anything.

Oh wow, that's a flagrant according to the rules. That's huge at this point in the game. Could be a 5 point swing.

OKC may win this series, but they can't let 4th quarter meltdowns happen against their next opponent.

Even with all the success they had in the regular season, this has to be seen as a major failure for this Spurs team.

What they did last year was way worse. They lost two straight close out games to the Clippers lol That's another reason I picked OKC. There's no shame in losing this series. Thunder are good and healthy this season.

Pop is kind of a Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. in these interviews and press conferences. His schtick gets old pretty quick..
