RFA

[Libri]

Good defender.

[ChuckD]

Getting this guy would be the equivalent of LA snagging Ariza a few years ago.

[yavozerb]

Now this is the perfect offseason get for the spurs..They are going to have do something to make room salary wise this offseason, but this would make my offseason..

[ajballer4]

Ideal move IMO. Only move I want them to make. Get a big in the draft

[outmap]

If he could only shoot.

[blkroadrunners]

If he could only shoot.

I love his defense, but Idk if he'd fit well w/ this Spurs offense.

[spursbird]

I love his defense, but Idk if he'd fit well w/ this Spurs offense.
Cannot shoot 3. Pop says no.:depressed

[mountainballer]

can't see him fit well. no impact whatsoever in the Spurs offense. didn't improve at all in three years, likely limited ability to learn a role.
will be 25 this summer. so no upside there.

looking at the Bucks, they might think about waiving Delfino, who's last year isn't guaranteed. he would be the one I want, if he hits the FA market. (for the right price, which IMO is about half of current MLE)

[scottspurs]

Screw the Offense. I think the spurs should go after this guy they obviously need a wing defender still.

[DesignatedT]

For the right price but he will get over payed by somebody

[Spur-Addict]

I don't like the idea of reaching for a RFA. Although, he's a solid perimter defender.

[ChuckD]

Ariza's 3G% was in the 20s before he went to LA, and we have the best shooting coach in the business.

[Leetonidas]

He can be taught to shoot the corner 3. Mbah a Moute is an excellent defender, he is exactly what we could use on the perimeter. Him or Battier because I doubt there's any way to get Iguodala, Tony Allen, or Sefolosha

[Obstructed_View]

I don't give a microscopic shit if he can dribble or shoot. If he can defend, I want him.

[MaNu4Tres]

Being that he's restricted- Bucks will match anything the Spurs offer (which won't be much).

This is why I don't like reaching for RFA's.

[HarlemHeat37]

One of the most overrated players in the NBA..

[SenorSpur]

I think he'd be a good get to, always have - even when he was coming out of college. However, he doesn't shoot 3's well enough for Pop and his new "Mike D'Antoni-style" offense.

[lmbebo]

As a defender, he'd play a big role with the spurs.

I'd like him, not sure when we can get him without over paying

[Spurs da champs]

Bruce couldn't shoot when he 1st came too us, so....

[baseline bum]

Cannot shoot 3. Pop says no.:depressed

Seems like he'd be a perfect fit for the Spurs offense then.

[timtonymanu]

Seems like he'd be a perfect fit for the Spurs offense then.

:lol THIS

[Leetonidas]

Not necessarily. Aren't the Bucks in a cap situation because of all the overpaid talent they acquired last offseason? It's not guaranteed they'll match because while he is a great defensive player, their team is terrible and they aren't anywhere close to trying to contend.

[Chomag]

Some other team is going to try to overpay him I think. Spurs wouldn't have the money to match.

[Leetonidas]

Well we won't know what the new CBA looks like so perhaps overpaying for a player of his talent will be a thing of the past...we can only hope because we get this dude and we have our Bowen. Leonard will be solid but this guy is a proven commodity.
