Spurs need 3pt shooters. Could we grab one of these guys?

[hater]

First we must move Bonner + Mason out. And try to at least grab 1 veteran 3pt shooter. Shit I'd give up RJ for Salmons or Outlaw.

We need shooters but also shooters than are not a liability in D and not stagnate the offense. I also prefer bigger guys if possible. All these guys shoot over 38% and I beleive none of these guys are locked up long in contracts. (I might be wrong)
1. Salmons
2. Outlaw
3. Belinelli
4. Nocioni
5. QRich
6. Mike Miller

if all else fails: Nick Young/Raja Bell?

anyone else that might help out with out 3pt shooting situation?

[Phenomanul]

If Mike Miller cuts his hair... he does sound like a good option... I don't even know if he is a viable one though...

[Pero]

Uh Salmons is kind of the odd man out in your list, don't know why you put him in. Because he's sort of a star and an important piece in Bucks' team.

I guess so. And to think we could have got him last season....

[urunobili]

RJ for Nocioni and some warm bodies would work for both sides I believe :)

[Mel_13]

I guess so. And to think we could have got him last season....

Getting him and keeping him are two different things. The only reason he may be a FA is because he played well enough to consider opting out of a 5.8M guarantee. He'll be looking for a multi-year deal starting at around the MLE.

To your list:

1. Salmons- out of our price range
2. Outlaw- same as above
3. Belinelli- still under rookie contract. I suppose Toronto would listen to a deal that took Hedo's obscene contract off their hands, but the Spurs won't do that.
4. Nocioni-still has three years left on contract (last year is a team option) at close to 7M/yr. RJ for Noc and Beno? I think Sac does that deal, but not the Spurs.
5. QRich- could be available for the LLE, which is probably the best we can offer
6. Mike Miller-see 1&2 above
7. Nick Young- still under rookie contract
8. Raja Bell- could very well be available for the LLE.

Parker needs to work on the corner three.

My choice: Kyle Korver :toast

I can say, 15 years younger Reggie Miller, and we have same chance to get "my choice"

[BadOne]

Parker needs to work on the corner three.

I'd like to see him develop the 3 shot off the dribble from just about anywhere like CP3 or Deron Williams can [on occasion], though yes, that corner 3 is almost always going to be there. If he can develop the shot half as good as he did his perimeter jumper after 04, than he can really boost the team's offense.

Korver or Miller would be great, but what is the likelihood of them signing to S.A. Would they take the vet minimum or more? [Assuming we use the full MLE on Splitter that is...]

BTW...nice sig...:hat

That could be an option but I doubt Orlando doesn't try to resign him.

I'd go for Kyle Korver in a second (Bonner + Mason for him?)

[Mel_13]

Bonner and Mason are FAs. They can't be traded except as part of a sign and trade. That's not very likely in any case and a non-starter with regard to Korver. Utah likes Korver and he likes Utah. In all likelihood, he stays right where he is.

[lefty]

I know, I know :depressed

Nocioni sucks.

IMO he sucks when he is on shitty teams. A la Rasheed. IMO he still has some left in the tank and is a pretty good clutch 3pt shooter.

He'd be miles improvement over Mason + Bonner

Does anyone think Brad Miller > Bonner?

Nearly everyone thinks Brad Miller > Bonner.

Brad was paid 12.2M last season while Bonner was paid 3.2M.

[in2deep]

IMO Spurs will try to draft 1 pure shooter and go for a solid veteran shooter. THat's what I would do.

Draft: James Anderson - lights out shooter although needs to increase his range

now we just need a good veteran shooter

TP
Manu
RJ
TD
Dyess

Blair
Hill
Splitter :greedy
vet shooter
Bonner
Temple
rookie shooter

[dbestpro]

Dorell Wright.

now we just need a player who can create offense and a player who can defend the paint

Admirable that you continue to support such a terribly flawed team. I hope Bonner's departure doesn't cause you to lose all hope.

Get away from spot up shooters, winning that way is over for the spurs, time to adjust. Get all around athletes that can take it to the rack and hit midrange jumpers. Get RJ going in the open court and he will be an improved overall player.


Tighten up the defense on the frontline, get rid of Bonner, Bogans, Mason, Ian, and move McDyess to the bench and get all around athletes to fill out the roster.

am sure RJ will show up next season coz its final year of his contract...so yeah, RJ will play.....

[ajh18]

I wonder about trying to pry Daniel Gibson away from Cleveland. His minutes and role have been decreasing for the last 2 years, and he'd help sure up the guard spot behind Tony/Manu/Hill.

[rayray2k8]

Is Jaren Jackson still available??

[itzsoweezee]

Morrow would be awesome. As would either Korver or Reddick. But Reddick's recent play is probably eliminating any chance the Magic let him go. Then again, Otis Smith is an idiot, so who knows.

[Duncan2177]

Rasual Butler?

[phxspurfan]

I said this way back...I don't even know how far.

Just some random names, won't bother to see if theyre FAs since the FO wont get any of them anyway:

Novak
Korver
Mike Miller
Belinelli
Spanish Manu
Damon Jones
Daniel Gibson

[DAF86]

Fernandez would be nice.

[Spursfanfromafar]

anthony parker...lol

Actually Anthony Parker would be a great backup SG. Clever, decent defender, team player and great shooter ..Shot 41% from 3 last season.

Only, he is not a FA and is in his last year of contract (2010-11) for the Cavs.

[wut]

Morrow would be my pick if we could get him.

[hater]

Is Fernandez a possibility?? probably not as Euro teams are offering tons of $

but if somehow Pop and Co could convince him to come to Spurs.

Imagine: Splitter + Fernandez coming in

:wow :wow

No way would Pritch trade him to the Spurs, he'd make them pay through the nose, say Hill + a 1st round pick for Rudy. Do you take that deal?

He is going into the third year of his rookie contract with Portland. The only way to get Rudy is through a trade with Portland. He will only make 1.2M next season, so a trade with San Antonio is improbable.

[MmP]

I'd so love nocioni in this team

[Nathan Explosion]

I think getting Temple and Hairston in the gym with Chip will be huge. Temple should the ability to hit the corner 3 with surprising consistency. If he can shore that up and then extend his range to other places on the court, he should have a good run at it with his size and athleticism. Hairston needs to develop a jumpshot if he wants to be a real contributor on this team. Spots are going to open up. Hairston and Temple need to take them the way Hill did last year.

And Parker seems to have stopped improving his range once he got the midrange jumper down. If Parker could become a credible 3 pt threat again, he should be a tough, tough guard. With the extra rest this summer, he should get his legs back and with it, his speed and quickness.

Finally, Hill just needs to stay in the gym and keep working. Work on creating a 3 pt shot instead of spotting up. Hill has the tools to be a big contributor on this team in the way of a 4th option with the ability to step into the 3 if needed, on a consistent basis.

[Nathan Explosion]

I'd so love nocioni in this team

He'd give them a lot of toughness on the perimeter and the interior from the 3 spot.

[Bruno]

ArgScrublaFan is back :lol

[dbestpro]

I still think Dorell Wright has the potential to provide three point scoring and athleticism and could be gotten quite easily while everyone else is looking for their Moby.

[franceout]

I will sign tmac will lle

[dbestpro]

Morrison could be a candidate for SF backup if he can get his shot going. Of course no one knows what he can do because he has been on the pine for over a year. Maybe the bench time has done him so good like it did Reddick.

[arodz]

Mark it now...Raja Bell will be a Spur next season. He's a good defender and he's cheap.

They have the cap room to be. Or they could lose Dwayne Wade and not recover for a long, long time.

[dbestpro]

I don't think an older vet like Bell is the answer. His day has come and gone. The answer lies in players who are 20 something and have not been given the chance or fell on their face when the chance was given. If last year at this time you were told you could have Frye and Dudley most would say pass. It's easy to select a guy who has come and gone. Can you find the guy who is still on his way?

I don't think Wade leaves, but if he does Miami will have enough cap space to sign two max FAs and still have 8-10M to fill out the roster.
