With the announcement that Ginobili is opting out, to either re-sign or retire, and Duncan's decision looming, who do yall think the Spurs will target?

Obviously no signing will make them automatic champs, but like any team they have to make a push in the offseason.

If Duncan comes back I'd love Joakim Noah on the team, hell even if TD doesn't come back.

Nicolas Batum would be a natural fit, but could him and Kawhi share a ton of minutes together?

Would love to see the Spurs move Parker or convince him to come off the bench for a younger/better player (he's 34 and a shell of his 24 yo self), but his contract ain't all that

Kevin Durant would be dope but just don't see it happening

No Parker would be a great start.

Im wary of c*nts too old, need some youth injection.

Would love a younger athletic C.

Would also love a SG this season.

Conley and Gasol would be a jokeishly good, but getting them is a bit of a stretch. In terms of what the Spurs could do without a major overhaul, I'd say they should try to get Noah and a player like Caron Butler. Kyle Anderson is an NBA-level player, sure, but the Spurs can't afford to play him in meaningful games and if he is their shot of youth then that's a problem. I realize Butler is old but he packs a scoring punch with good defense. His stock isn't overly high right now either.

My goodness does this team miss Bellinelli though. I'd give up Martin and Anderson for him in a heartbeat.

That team would get obliterated on the interior, and getting Batum at the expense of playing Kawhi at his position wouldn't even be worth it.

Small ball rules, that roster would devastate. That frontcourt matches up well with the Warriors, their only real opposition in a first to four wins.

With an aging Tony Parker, I say Russell Westbrook would be a great fit. Leonard and him would make for a great fast break duo, Aldridge and Gasol, will take of business down low.

Conley - $30 mil - LOL. Even Peak Duncan only got $21 mill? Don't agree with trading away Diaw. They should just wait and hope to get Westbrooke next year - where would he be going? - not CLE, not GSW, not LAC.

They need youth at this point. They are so old and on the brink of having to do a complete rebuild. No free agents could really help them. They need an Anthony Davis/Brandon Ingram type of young star. Kawhi and Aldridge are good but they will not put them over the top in the future.

I don't think we can win with the current roster. It's too old and too outdated to beat teams like Golden State and the Cavs.

Pop refuses to go away from trotting two bigs out there at all times. It was fine ten years ago when you had prime Duncan who could paired with any big, but LaMarcus needs a very specific type of player next to him in order to be effective, and Gasol is certainly not it.

At the end of the day, we're not going to win with Parker and Aldridge as starters. They have pretty much sucked in the most pressing moments of the season lately. Without shaking up the roster too much, I feel like we'd fare better with:

PG: George Hill/Mills
SG: Green/Manu
SF: Kawhi/Otto Porter
PF: Aldridge/Diaw/Clint Capela
C: Gasol/Bogut

In a perfect word Gasol would be gone, Kawhi would play the 4 with Danny at the 3, and Aldridge would just man up and play the 5 permanently. But that won't happen regardless because no matter how good we've looked at times with Kawhi playing PF, Pop will never go with it on even a semi-permanent basis.

Edit: I'd absolutely love to see Marvin Williams, Jared Dudley and Jrue Holiday on the team.
