Roster 2017-18

I would like to open a discussion about how will roster for the next season look like. With those recent PATFO decisions it is 99% clear that there will be no roster changes for current season.

Here are contracts for this and next three seasons: http://www.spotrac.com/nba/san-antonio-spurs/yearly/cap/

As we can see 7 players have guaranteed contracts for next season (LMA, Kawhi, TP, Danny Green, Kyle, Dejounte, Bertans)

3 players have player option (Gasol, Dedmon, David Lee)

3 players are UFA (Manu, Patty, Joel)

1 player is RFA (Simmons)

1 player have non-guaranteed contract (Forbes)

My opinion, Gasol will pick up player option, and other 2 guys are questionable (they could be wanting more money). I honestly hope so they both pick up player options and leave as in financially comfort zone.

Simmons will be matched if it is going to be under 6-7 mil.

Manu and Joel retiring.

Patty will be signed only if he agrees deal similar to Danny Green contract.

Forbes maybe stays on minimum salary.

In best scenario that leave us with 2 more roster spots (instead Joel and Manu), and with signed Patty and Simmons for about 17 mil together. And those 2 roster spots would be filled with minimum wages (draft rights for center Milutinov and shooting guard/forward Dangubić for example). If Patty and Simmons leave then there is room a little more roster upgrades, and if David Lee and Dedmon chose free agency it is going to be though to replace them since they have been playing for small contracts.
