What's new

Looking at the offseason

Well first off Burks will be taking those minutes at the 2.

Second, playing Exum at the 2 is a waste of minutes. He needs to learn to play point guard, not sit in the corner watching someone else handle the ball.

The idea that Exum couldn't develop behind Conley is absolutely asinine.

I'm right there with you... like we are giving up on Exum's potential if we bring in someone ready now that can actually show him the ropes.

Think about it... you are new on the job and given a huge amount of responsibility and no mentor to show you how to do things right. Or you can have someone who has done it before show you the ropes. yup he will take some of the opportunities away from you, but you still get ample opportunities to do stuff... except that you will have some guidance and correction when you screw things up.

I think we have less than a 1% chance at it happening, but if it did it would be nothing but good.

I think Memphis will keep Lance but if not, Stephenson is a really interesting and perhaps, relatively cheap, option for us. He's played solidly in the little I've watched in this Spurs series and if Quin's been strong, it's at developing players. Maybe we could sign him and Quin could keep the kid's head on straight. He's still really young and has some of the nasty we need.

Conley is saying he wont just stay in Memphis even though he likes it there. That if they want to keep him they are going to have to make some moves to improve.

Also Locke mentioned they will call on him... and Durant... though he didn't make it seem like either was attainable. He does have some insight and certainly talks to folks. I know many don't care for his style or company man (sometimes) takes.

It sounds like he sees the writing on the wall. I can't see him leaving Memphis for a worse basketball situation like NY or LA. I think we may actually get in on this conversation.
 
I dont think Conley is leaving Memphis. His coach cried for his team.

He may have cried because that is the last game he will coach for the team or the last time they will have that version of the team... Or maybe he's a *****... could be any of those.

Joerger almost left last year. If they offer 5 year max then he stays... if they waffle he leaves.
 
Joakim Noah is also another interesting name, don't know exactly how he would fit in with Favors, Gobert, and Lyles primed to get minutes. He would add depth and vet leadership though.
