Most of the top FA s have been signed already but with players Kirt Snyder, David Harrison, J Pargo, Mickeal Galebal and Shawn Livingson still out there are we done signing free agents or will the Spurs make a move on one of these young players who still have good upside and could be had cheap?

4/5 of the players you listed are RFAs, and if they are really worth the remainder of what we have of the MLE their respected teams will match anyways. Pargo, the lone UFA, on your list would clutter the PG/combo guard position that much more. I think we're done for now - at least until we see what we've got to work with in camp.

All are unrestricted. Teams have renounced rights.

I'd like to sign Luke Jackson if he is unrestricted.
If his knee is healthy, I'd like to trade for Carl Landry. If not, then just sign Elton Brown. In either case, we have to unload Bonner somewhere.
Sign Hill and Gist.
PG - Parker, Hill, Vaughn
SG - Manu, Mason, Jackson
SF - Bowen, Udoka, Gist
PF - Duncan, Ian, Tolliver
C - Thomas, Oberto, Landry/Brown

My bad. Even with that being said, I like the guys that we currently have and would like to see them fight it out in camp. I still think that it is likely that we bring Finley back, so technically I guess I don't think we're done.:toast

In keeping Finley, we're done signing players, or we're done as a team? Or is there a difference? Kidding, I'm sure other players will do everything they can to make up the slack from Finley's deficiencies

Salary won't match, maybe need to throw in Kurt Thomas, Kwame Brown, and George Hill and a 1st round.
What, what do you mean you can't trade other team's asset?

You could trade Bonner, Vaughn, Oberto for Hilario and whatever it takes to make the salaries match. Then just fill out the roster with NBDL players. Or look overseas for a good sharpshooter.

I'm hoping the Spurs can find a way to land Siskauskas. He's probably the best option available to the Spurs, and the best fit.
Siskauskas would have to walk away from some cash (unlikely) but hopefully the Spurs can get a little lucky. Shit, It's got to be better odds than a Gasol/Artest/Camby type deal

i hope not....if we go into the season and stay with this roster....82 games will be wasted, and then if we dont have HCA we dont go anywhere...its that simple, dont make things complicated, everyone saw the same team last season, some of us see the real, some of us still see the team of a few yrs ago, with the same amazing FO picking players noone has even heard of to become allstars....those days are done...the nba has said thankyou more then once, heck they even declared us the best in the business, its time to say thankyou back and start rebuilding.............not around our big 3, we shoulda traded one of them while we had or have the chance for a younger....its almost to late now....i sure in the heck dont want togo back to the days of the (7,000 seats sold), i remember them days like they were yesterday
At this point, I'm hoping for a player like Bill Walker not to make his team to be our Austin SG designee and a small trade for a player like Charlie Villanueva or Nocioni---big enough to get a player that will be in the rotation, but small enough not to mess with the overall chemistry.

Not much left in the FA bin.
Is everyone else resigned to a "youth movement" year too. I'm ok with the Spurs biting the bullet and running with an inordinate number of rookies this season. We need to develop and stockpile assets and we need young legs off the bench. The downside is that these kids will really, really struggle to pick up the system and Pop will have pull a career best coaching job if the Spurs are to be successful.

we Must sign Bonzi Wells. all team have power at the SF position, we dont have a strong SF , we need to get Bonzi, he will be the answer for the Artest, Posey and the other strong SF in the league. we are weak and short at the SF position, unless James Gist turn to be as a capable SF. but still we need to sign Bonzi for 1 year 2 million - bad it will not do.

I would go with Bonzi as a bench guy, he has a great post up game. I would rather have him than Hairston.

Bonzi might have some game left. Let's wait until he's washed up and then convince him to come here for the vet minimum.

We are freeing up cap space for 2018 when he's available

Apparently some Greek douchebag is stringing the Spurs along until after the olympics, when he will go back to his Greek team for several billion Euros and free hookers.
