Analysis Spurs draft assets, cap situation and future projections

Not sure why we're focusing so hard on the Knicks. I was just saying they run lots of guards, that's it.
 
1. Secondary rim protection / rebounding
2. Switchability on the perimeter
3. Shooting
4. Big wing iso defense

If you had 10 points to assign to the above 4 for your ideal PF, what would that distribution look like? Trying not to look at physical characteristics so much as skills / team needs

Obviously we don't want to get ahead of ourselves, but we're looking really good for the next few seasons.
As in if everyone keeps playing this way the only things that are missing are a reliable third string C and a big forward that's needed for some matchups. Not necessarily a starter. Basically a Sochan that can play basketball.

Wrote about it in Champ's thread, but we should decline that option and offer him an extension to spread the money easier. Front load it because we won't have cap issues over the next few years.
Right now Barnes and Champ are at $22M combined, hopefully we can keep them both at that same combined price.
Before the season I though something like 30/3 (or 33/4 if we manage to fron load it) would be fair for Champ, but right now even 50/4 would look like a great deal.
Make it 14/13/12/11 , would be fair value.
Obviously Barnes would get a cheaper contract, I think it's really important to keep such a great veteran leader with these young guys.
I'd offer him 21/3 or similar. Make it 8/7/6.

Everyone else that's ont under contract for the next season can go.
We free up three veteran minimum slots and $20M with Sochan and Olynyk going.
If we can't upgrade them into a legit PF before the deadline, just let them walk.
Give DJG the same contract Champ is on right now.
Cap will rise by $12M next season, more than enough for the new rookie(s). Hopefully we can get a rim protector that can take over for Kornet in a couple of years.

Hachimura, Eason, Dean Wade, Wiggins, Fontecchio, Oubre look like solid free agency forward targets.
And obviously Bryant should learn some basketball fundamentals by this time next year and start taking more forward minutes, with Barnes getting a reduced role.
In 2027 Keldon takes a cheap deal because he doesn't want to leave.

As long as we stay healthy, we're in for a great time as Spurs fans. The core is pretty much set and we just need to hope all these young players develop on their optimal trajectories.
 
^ nice post.

For Chamagnie, declining the 26-27 $3M team option to sign him to a longer contract is the best way for Spurs to keep him while managing their future luxury tax issues. It can be done this season or during next summer.
Giving him a declining deal starting at $10M ($10M/$9.2M/$8.4M/$7.6M) seems to be a decent deal for both sides. It will turn his $3M/1 year contract into a $35.2M/4 years contract. For Champagnie, it will like signing a $33.2M/3 years contract extension which seems fair for a player like him.

For Barnes, it is more important to limit the number of years of his contract than the annual salary. For example, I would like him more with a $24M/2 years contract (12.5/11.5) than with a $27.6M/3 years contract (10/9.2/8.4).
