Premium Member Diesel Posted January 27, 2015 Premium Member Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Not on the court. This is the last contracted season for Duncan and Ginobili. I don't know if there's any reason why Timmy D would want to come back. He's always struck me as a CP3 like guy .. a guy who is loyal and will finish out his deal and then walk away. Ginobili is not a young pup anymore either. With Kawhi Leonard being the guy to build around, should we worry that the Spurs will come after Paul Millsap? Now that we are successful, have we gotten to the place where teams like the Spurs and the Jazz are teams that look at our guys as pieces for their team? My point.. Lock up Sap and DMC before the offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNorthCydeRises Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Everybody will be coming after Millsap. And Carroll will get a significant deal from someone as well. Just wait until next summer, when we'll have to make a financial decision on Horford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member hawkman Posted January 27, 2015 Premium Member Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Lock Milsap up now. I'm not sure if there's a comparable player to him in what he brings on the court as far as his versatile skill set and demeanor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators macdaddy Posted January 27, 2015 Moderators Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 I'm pretty sure he can't sign an extension now. I think we have to wait till summer like everyone else. CBA experts? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 I'm pretty sure he can't sign an extension now. I think we have to wait till summer like everyone else. CBA experts? That's what I remember from when I asked about it before. The CBA eggsperts said it's illegal or something to negotiate an extension before the offseason. Also, I wouldn't be surprised to see the Spurs go after M. Gasol or LMA before Millsap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazer Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 I'd love to see any of these in a Hawks uni: Leonard Butler Aldridge M Gasol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin capstone21 Posted January 27, 2015 Admin Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 I'd love to see any of these in a Hawks uni: Leonard Butler Aldridge M Gasol They would all be great fits ... I don't see Butler or Leonard leaving but Aldridge wanted to leave Portland a couple years ago and I have a feeling Gasol will be moving on from Memphis Realize getting one of those guys means bye to Sap. Is that something you would be willing to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member turnermx Posted January 27, 2015 Premium Member Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 We should keep Sap, he has at least 4 years left at his current production imo, and he fits like a glove with our team 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bird_dirt Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 I wouldn't fear the Spurs so much, they don't generally over pay for players. Other teams might step up, though. And if they do, we'll likely just do what Ferry and Bud have already been doing - buy low and train them up high. if there was any chance to get Marc Gasol, I wouldn't even mind if it meant missing Milsap. MG is one of the top 5 players in the league I'd love to have on our team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomFan Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Since we're on the subject, what does everyone think the dollar amounts are going to be for Milsap and Carroll? Ballpark of course. I'm worried the new impending TV money and expected salary cap increases coming in the next few years are going to greatly inflate the next batch of contracts. But assuming that isn't the case, I'm guessing Milsap is going to be around at least $15-16m per year to bring him back. Carroll is a bigger mystery due to how in-demand he might be. I'm going to say at least $6m per year but probably closer to 8-9m per. That's a huge jump from the $2.5m we got him for initially. Pero will probably due for a sizeable bump on a 2 to 3 year deal as well. And as someone else said, Horford will be due the next year at probably close to a max deal...sigh. Throw in our likely lottery pick and it looks like we'll be doing well just to hang on to our current pieces, and forget about adding anyone of significance. Lets hope Bud/Ferry already have their eyes on the next DeMarre (underrated cheap signing who greatly outplays contract). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Mule Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Fear the Spurs? No. But, as a son should respect his father, so should we respect the Spurs. Note: If the father isn't respectable don't expect respect from the son. It's a two edge sword. The spurs have earned our respect, I believe.
