    Why would SAC be interested in Lowry?

    They need to give Fox 32 mpg and let Frank Mason play that other 16 mpg.

    Yep. George Hill was one of his favorite players when Pops traded him. I have a feeling Hill will be their starting pg if he's a Spur this upcoming season.

    I like O'Quinn and Collins playing together because they can guard both PFs and C, and both have shooting range. O'Quinn is a great defender for cheap.

    Nurkic, Collins, O'Quinn, Vonleh, Swanigan is a good big man core.

    Hill at PG
    Iggy at SG
    Kawhi at SF

    That would a Spurs lineup right there. I expect that is their plan, and they're willing to trade Aldridge for cap space and a pick to get it done.

    I wonder what's going to happen with Paul George. Supposedly Boston said that Pritchard's demands are unrealistic. I really wish we knew what he was asking for.

    That would have been a good team four years ago.

    That'd be a good team now. Good defense, all around offense.

    Probably a top 10 pick and a blue chip prospect. We couldn't offer either.

    I think Iggy leaves. I think it's way more important for the Warriors to solve their issue of giving big contracts to Curry and Klay than keeping Iggy. Iggy is probably content with a couple rings

    Iggy isn't a starter anymore. George Hill is okay.... but not a star. Just a good role player.

    Couldn't we have traded them Festus and a pick and then THEY waive him?

    Both would thrive in San Antonio...George Hill is better than OK...he knows the Spurs system already..Pop always liked him..Iggy is a beast and I don't see him losing a step yet...he's like Karl Malone...will outrun rookies when he's 40

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    They can re-sign Curry, Durant (I assume you meant Durant, not Klay who's already under contract) and Iguodala. My guess is that if Iguodala leaves the Warriors, it'll be over number of years, not yearly salary. The Warriors probably want to limit an Iggy deal to two years, so he'll be off the books when Thompson and Green come up for new (larger) contracts. Iggy may want more years and perhaps a team like San Antonio will give him a longer contract (though, I doubt his expiration date is more than two years).

    Makes sense, probably trying to get one last big contract.

    I'm glad you like him. Let's see if it actually happens.
