ExumInfernoParticipantThere is a 7-3 free agent who shot 59% from the field and 75% on free throws.
Per 36 minutes, he got 21 points and 14 rebounds.
He started for the Spurs today, 22 points, 12 rebounds, 2 blocks. 8 of 8 free throws. 7 of 9 from the field.
That is Boban.
He is 11th on the Spurs for salary, it was reportedly a 1-year deal.
He is getting a raise. Will he still be a Spur? Does Timmy retire and hand over his minutes to Boban? Does another team looking for size give him more money and a starting role?
Who would have thought we would be talking about Boban as a key free agent?

BrentSuriaga01ParticipantHe is a legit baller man. I’ve seen stiff 7-3 guys before but he’s not. He’s mobile and nimble for his size. He kinda reminds me of Marcin gortat when he was with the Magic

TheGuyParticipantlmao you think someone would sign Boban to the max because of some pointless final game of the regular season or a skewed sample of a hypothetical Per 36 statline (might be one of my least favorite basketball stats)
That said he’s an intriguing player, he’s the biggest man in the world and very skilled and smart, but I question what he would look like outside of San Antonio and if he could handle playing 82 games as a starter with big minutes.

jabbar_medvedenkoParticipantI don’t think Duncan stays past year. That said, Boban is restricted and I expect them to keep him. He can obviously ball and will get a nice pay rise, but I don’t see him as a more than a first big from the bench on any team. He’s already 29 and has some serious mobility issues, I would compare him to an offensive-minded Roy Hibbert. If this wasn’t a run-and-gun, shot-happy era I would see them as real difference makers. This way, with the way the league is trending, I just don’t think there is a place for lumbering centers like these 2. Look for him to sign a 2 year, at 8-10 million per year with the spiking cap. I just don’t think these stats are translatable in a larger role or another team.

ExumInfernoParticipantI can’t find anything that says he is a restricted free agent. Just $1.2million this season, no options or anything after that.
Obviously a good fit for the Spurs, and no I don’t think he will be getting 36 minutes a game this year, but he is a free agent center who could be someone teams really want.
His D-League numbers, 80% from the field, 24 and 12 averages.
He probably stays a Spur, but if Houston lose Howard or another team has lots of mmoney for him, he may move.

jabbar_medvedenkoParticipantHe’s restricted and has a 1.5 million qualifying offer for the next season, I looked it up on basketballinsiders.com, they always have all the contract details covered.

JoeWolf1I love Boban. Despite the narrative that the giant player has no place in the modern game now that the defensive 3 seconds had been implemented, Boban proves that if you have skill and can play it doesn’t matter your size. He’s got terrific hands, and is a skilled heady player. I watched him beat up Steve Adams and Enes Kanter the other night, and both are above average NBA bigs.
I think the Spurs try to keep him, but if you can play you can play. Isaiah Thomas or Boban, I think size is just a number that skill can trump if you get the right opportunity.

BothTeamsPlayedHardParticipantI am fully expecting stupid money to be thrown around all summer because of the way in which the cap goes up. In as much as people like to portray front offices as being smarter than ever, I do not think most of them are prepared for the resetting of the marketplace. Wes Matthews had a much, much better rookie season than Boban, but he really is the rare case of someone on a one-year contract becoming a free agent. Matthews signed a 5-year $34 million contract in an environment with a $58 million cap after that one season where he averaged 25 minutes and 9 points per game.
Boban has been protected by San Antonio, and no one knows how his body will react to playing 25 minutes per night over 50-70 games (I am being intentionally conservative with this because he played 508 minutes all year) much less how he would perform in a different system on a much lesser team. Furthermore, most teams cannot build as though they have LeBron (small ball in name only because with LeBron you have Karl Malone with Russell Westbrook’s athleticism.) or are the Golden State Warriors. Heck, the Warriors didn’t build to be the Warriors we see today. They paid David Lee and Andrew Bogut. They brought in Speights and drafted Ezeli and Kuzmic. I loved Draymond as much as anyone while at Michigan State, and I am sure Golden State loved him more than me, but no one could have possibly argued that the Warriors knew he would allow them to operate the way they are now. If you are one of the other 28 teams, then if you have a hole in the middle, you have a huge hole in the middle that opponents will exploit. With all this considered, I am trying to prepare myself for something ridiculous to my mind, but something that will be argued away by people who dismiss that he has played 508 minutes. The Alexis Ajinca 4-years and $20 million stands out for comparison because they both played fewer than 1,000 minutes in the season before their free agent summer (though 900+ minutes in both his years in New Orleans is a greater body of work). It is certainly speculative but, given what will be a crazy market, an acceptable amount of craziness. I am not accepting the possibility that the Omer Asik montrosity (5-years and $60 million) is a possibility, but am not so sure someone would not try to argue away offering him a John Henson contract (4-years and $44 million).
