    Hello darkness, my old friend
    The Spurs? Definitely. I think that if they don't get Paul, they may turn their sights to George Hill. Hill is a Popovich favorite--supposedly broke his heart to trade him for Kawhi Leonard.

    See, ripcityboy--it's not all doom and gloom. A small market team can have the very best Twitter account in all the league.

    Wow that is awesome, and C got him too. Love having these two (Dame CJ)on our team, both very active around the league. If they can't attract FA's at some point then it's probably never going to happen.

    I wonder if Harkless/Crabbe, #20, and #26 would be enough for #10. I'd do it. #10 and #15 could maybe get you up to #6 to take Isaac.

    So that's Crabbe, Hark, 15, 20, and 26 for Issac?

    No thank you.

    It's a big risk, I mean if Olshey was 100% sold on Isaac... we'd be cuttin somewhere around 25+mil too... I could get behind it.

    I would laugh if the Spurs trade LA to a lottery team!

    Don't underestimate the Power of the Cap Side.

    And how exactly does the team get better by saving PA some $? We'd still be over the cap.

    If Z Collins was there, I'd do:
    #15, #20, Turner, + Meyers ($25.6M Out)
    for
    #10, Afflalo, + Koufus ($20.5M In)

    Then try and flip Afflalo for something of use. If not, then cut him for the $10M savings (he only has $1.5M guaranteed).

    Interesting idea, but I'm pretty sure we're targeting someone at #15. So, it would probably look more like
    #20, #26, Harkless, whoever for #10 + whomever
