The Spurs needed a mess this year and didn't do it. Making a bunch of FA signings this year without figuring out the roster would be a mistake. I'd prefer to go young and see what they can do. I'd go with Murray/Vassell/Johnson/Samanic/Poeltl with White/Walker anchoring the bench. Keep Dieng because he can shoot.
Then try to get assets and a contract. Try to get the last two years of Wiggins' contract and the #7 pick from the Warriors or the last two years of Kevin Love's contract and next year's 1st from the Cavs. Either player could actually make the team better as well.
The Spurs need to just start the rebuild that should have started last year instead of a longshot bid to make the playoffs. Hard to see any of the West playoff teams dropping out. The Grizzlies will get better. Dame and Luka are probably staying put. The Pelicans are much better positioned that the Spurs. The Warriors will definitely be in. Just go young for a few years like the Hawks did and rebuild with good picks and front office work. Leave Becky something to work with.
The with/without ratings for Trae are interesting. He's the most important player in the playoffs right now. They just need to solidify that backup PG slot next year.
