Cavs have spent about 90mm in luxury tax over the past three seasons.

They have paid luxury tax each of the past three seasons, which means they get repeater tax next year.

With just 8 players signed to contracts right now, they are 9 million over the luxury tax. Use the tax payer MLE (5mm) plus a few mins and they are at 17mm.

That's $53mm in tax for 2018 in addition to the ~135mm they are paying in salaries.

How many years in a row is Gilbert content in losing to the Warriors while losing 40-50mm?
i don't know what this means but it sounds like "real" logic so i'm not buying that

Pacers GM got his front office start working for Pop in San Antonio. He then went to Portland where the first move was to flip Tyrus Thomas for LaMarcus Aldridge.
Paul George for LaMarcus Aldridge confirmed.

Should include Myles Turner to make salaries match evenly.

I wonder if staff would answer honestly if I sent them an email and asked them how many times you've flagged one of my posts where I **** all over you. That list must be six pages long.

I'm not sure that word means what you think it does.

See, unlike you, I provide facts, logic, and reasoning when discussing the NBA. On the flip side, your arguments are typically centered around your personal feelings towards players personalities and jersey colors, similar to how high school girls pick their Snapchat friends.

Danny Green's heir apparent.

I like the pick. White is a 6'5" wing that played PG in college, so he has play making abilities. Good shooter, shot 40% from 3, so I see him as part of the bench units evolution to gradually replace Manu by committee. Not a bad athlete and can be a decent defender, but certainly won't be a lockdown guy. Bottom line is you can never have too many shooters out there.

Decent article on him: https://theringer.com/2017-nba-draft-derrick-white-colorado-buffaloes-4ae112d5adec

Seems like a low risk, low ceiling pick. Should get some minutes and provide some shooting and be a smart, cheap, versatile player in a back up role.

Filled a need with Danny on his way out. Hopefully he can learn D like Danny did.

I don't think White is long or athletic enough to ever be an elite defender. However, the Spurs have always been really good at making decent defenders out of guys who don't necessarily have the physical tools, by teaching them good rotations and where the help is. Matt Bonner is exhibit A: below average athlete, not long, not strong, but we could put him in and not suffer too much on defense because he was always in good position and opponents would get baited into trying to take him 1 on 1.

Safe to say this is our team right now:

C: TBD
PF: Bertrans
SF: Kawhi/Kyle Anderson/Hanga
SG: Simmons/White
PG: Parker/Murray

Bringing over from Europe:
Adam Hanga - Defensive POY

On the block, not expected to be back:
LMAo
Green

Definitely resigning:
Simmons

Probably resigning:
Gasol
Ginobili

Possibly resigning:
Lee
Dedmon

Probably not resigning:
Patty
Anthony

Trade/FA Targets:
Paul George
Chris Paul
George Hill

Good grief slow your roll. One way or another the Spurs will come out of free agency with a huge upgrade at point guard to take pressure off Kawhi.

They may even be able to retain Dedmon or someone comparable in the worst case scenario.

Simmons replacing Green won't be a drop off.

The #3 west team will still be staring 7-10 games up at the Spurs in the standings.

Then Tony comes off the books next year.

I would move Dedmon to the "probably not" column.

Way to early to say because we don't know what targets we land.

Hypothetical:
Danny Green + LMA + Murray for Paul George

Sign Gasol for contract starting at 8mm
Sign Manu for vet Min
We have about $30mm for free agents.

Gasol
Paul George/Bertrans
Kawhi/Kyle
Simmons/White/Manu
Chris Paul/Parker

That team can beat the Warriors.

Saying "will probably get us to the playoffs" is a little Gator-esque battered Spurs syndrome when you haven't even seen who they bring in.

They could dump Aldridge and Green for nothing, not use any of their cap cushion, and probably still make the playoffs.

Good catch. Added. And hopefully the Spurs can get SloMo to add a ton of size this summer so he can be a stretch 4.
