"With Chris Paul, the Spurs wouldn't have Danny Green, Johnathan Simmons and possibly LaMarcus Aldridge. They have to clear a ton of space"

CP3 is seriously considering opting out an going to the Spurs per rumors. So let's say he does. I think 2 things open up.

1. It removes a big competitor for Hill and increases his chances of re-signing with the Jazz.

2. If the Spurs have to clear all that space is there opportunity for the Jazz to improve? Aldridge perhaps? Simmons?

What would you try and get and what would it take?
 
How far would the following team get?

Gobert/Withey
Aldridge/Lyles/Bolomboy
Hayward/JJ
Hood/Ingles
Hill/Exum/Neto

I removed Favors, Burks, Diaw and Mack.

I don't know...

I would guess that they move Pau stretch parker.

This, plus let Simmons walk. I also think the Paul to SA is overstated. He is due the mega-vet max that him and LeBron colluded to get included in the CBA... if he is offered it and doesn't take it I think the union will be pissed. Not sure how much it differs from what SA can offer.
 
Paul would bypass over $50M to go to the Spurs... it could happen, but only if Clips don't pony up the dough.
 
How dangerous would the Spurs be if they lost all that talent? All the 'experts' are talking like CP3 can go to the Spurs with Aldridge staying put

Most of that is in the 5th and sixth year right? Maybe he thinks that he will still be worth the max in 4 (not saying that he will be just that he may feel that way).

Most in the fifth year... he will be 36ish then... no way he's worth it then.
 
I would be all for this happening... trickle effect is Mills would leave and likely sign with Philly... he has ties to Brett Brown. Leaves only Sacramento and Brooklyn as viable candidates to max out Hill or offer a big money offer that we would not want to match. Brooklyn I think is smarter than that... Sacramento likely gets a pg in the draft.

Pair this with Indiana potentially trading PG and then Teague would want to leave (I think). Basically we want other teams PGs to move as it uses up available cap space and constricts the market on Hill.
 
If we got CP3 and hayward stays, we are gonna be so close to Warriors. And only team in the league who has a chance to compete with them.
