[FuzzyLumpkins]

Is Okur just cooked of has he looked good in Turkey?

He is a stretch 4....

[bus driver]

lets take a chance with Oden! it could be a grant hill 2 ! although not sure for 1.5M

[elemento]

Oden is done for this season. And quite honestly, I think he is done for this career.

The only player of the list that can help SA now is Martin. The rest is way washed up or too young and raw.

[bigfan]

Does Elson have anything left (at all?) I know he had butterfingers but I still remember him being fairly useful.

[Johnny RIngo]

Okur's done. Trust me on that.

[ChumpDumper]

Oden is done for this season. And quite honestly, I think he is done for this career.

The only player of the list that can help SA now is Martin. The rest is way washed up or too young and raw.True enough. Probably just waiting to see if any of the young guys show anything in the D-League.

[Hoops Czar]

Martin won't sign for anything less than the mini MLE... End of story.

[TheCerebral1]

Martin, Macklin and Jerome Williams have what it takes to be on a roster. The Spurs are plugging in way too many guards on the roster.

[Darius Bieber]

Oden is done for this season. And quite honestly, I think he is done for this career.

Still better than Bonner/Blair.

[Obstructed_View]

I missed where Oden was done for the season. I read an article last week saying he was working out in Indiana and wanted to play.

[YoMamaIsCallin]

Um, no.

[BanditHiro]

we just need someone who can gives us 10 minute of not Bonner.

[LittleCriminal]

[AussieFanKurt]

There's a few good names in there, when I say good I mean better than Bonner and Blair. Nevertheless serviceable to grab a few boards, play some D and put up some shots. Look at Collison, only averaged like 5 points and 5 rebounds last season but did the job well

[Ice009]

Oden is someone I want. As good as Eddy Curry is on offense Oden has the potential to be even better defensively. If he can get past his injuries, his defensive potential is just too good to pass up. Even if he isn't great on offense, he could be a monster defensively.

As much as I liked Curry's game in the low post, I would much rather have Oden because of his defensive potential.

Have you got a link to that article OV? Looks like I am not the only one checking up on him.

[Mr. Body]

I would take a chance on Oden. Not because reading how the Trailblazers' 'medical staff' likely ruined a young man's career with mishandling his knees (and he wasn't the only one), but because with a little rehab he could have by far the most potential as anyone on that list.

[FuzzyLumpkins]

I missed where Oden was done for the season. I read an article last week saying he was working out in Indiana and wanted to play.

I remember reading that he was taking this year off to train and rehab so that he is right for his next comeback attempt. If he is smart he will look to a team like us or the Suns that have a noted training staff but I don't see him being an option this year.

[rudwick]

We should give Jerome Jordan a try for 5 reasons:
5. Jordan 23 looks good on a Spurs jersey
4. Young
3. Big
2. Cheap
and the number 1 reason:
Last time we signed a big Islander it worked out OK.
:lol

[Kidd K]

Only ones that matter:

Oden
Ben Wallace
KMart

Rest are worse than either Blair or Splitter in most ways tbh and would not be upgrades.

If Ben Wallace wants back, I would love to sign that dude and put him in there to rough up ZBo and Dwight, and to give us some inside presence when Timmy's sitting. Even if he's just directly used as Timmy's sub, or only plays 10-12 mins, I'd be happy to have Wallace tbh. He was still good last year on defense, and is definitely a lot tougher than Tiago. If Ben wouldn't mind not always getting tons of minutes, this would be my fav' signing of the whole lot imo.

Oden is a huge gamble. . .but fuck it. It isn't like we'd ever get a big with that kind of potential unless we throw a year away to tank it, then hope we don't get "Stern'd" in the lottery ball selection process, then hope there's a big worth taking up there that year.

KMart was still good last year too. Despite him being a cancerous thug with a low BBall IQ, he's tough and can guard SF, PF, and C. He can hit the mid range shot too and score a bit inside. Not a bad talent if we can work through his attitude. He's probably the most talented guy out there, but has possible health issues on top of the attitude issues.

agreed, i've always thought ryan gomes would have made a great spur but he would be somewhat redundant of blair given his height. kind of a much smaller scale shawn marion

[Mel_13]

Kenyon Martin on the Spurs is a pipe dream. The only reason he hasn't signed on somewhere by now, while guys like Troy Murphy get contracts, is that he doesn't want to sign for the minimum. Once he accepts reality and realizes that the minimum is all he can get, then he's going to look to sign in Miami, New York, or LA. SA will be nowhere near the top of list.

[BatManu20]

I am not sure that anyone on that list is much of a upgrade but if I had to choose one. I would pick one of these players, in no particular order.

CENTER

B. Wallace
E. Dampier
M. Okur
T. Battie

POWER FORWARD

K. Martin
R. Gomes
J. Howard


Dampier?! Hell no.. as a matter of fact this entire list is garbage outside of Kenyon Martin.

[Russo21]

Wallace and Martin are the only ones worth looking at.

I know Big Ben is about 40 but he is still a better defender then any big on our roster not named Timmeh. He averaged 1 steal and 1 block last year in very limited minutes. Bonner cant do that in 48 minutes. And he can reunite with Malice at the Palace buddy Stephen Jackson lmao.

[Russo21]

If Ben Wallace wants back, I would love to sign that dude and put him in there to rough up ZBo and Dwight, and to give us some inside presence when Timmy's sitting. Even if he's just directly used as Timmy's sub, or only plays 10-12 mins, I'd be happy to have Wallace tbh. He was still good last year on defense, and is definitely a lot tougher than Tiago. If Ben wouldn't mind not always getting tons of minutes, this would be my fav' signing of the whole lot imo.

Bingo

[Arcadian]

NO to Oden! Don't fall for that.

One thing I like about the spurs is that we tend to avoid injury-prone players...let's keep it that way.

[ThePop]

Yes to KMart.

[MI21]

NO to Oden! Don't fall for that.

[Kidd K]

There's still an outside chance we'll trade Jackson + Blair or some other combination for a big mid-season. Jackson has an expiring deal and it's got some decent cash on it. . .so there's a lot of guys we could end up pulling back for it. Not neccessarily likely, but it's a possibility.

[ThePop]

I don't want Jack to go though :(

[Kidd K]

Even if we got a dope big man for him as a one year rental?

[ThePop]

He better be really dope

[LittleCriminal]

Check Out this Dope Trade!!!!

[Kidd K]

They prolly won't trade Gorat 'til next year though. He's pretty decent and doesn't break the bank, so they'll likely wait 'til his last year to deal him for some draft picks.

[Obstructed_View]

I remember reading that he was taking this year off to train and rehab so that he is right for his next comeback attempt. If he is smart he will look to a team like us or the Suns that have a noted training staff but I don't see him being an option this year.

I'm sure you're correct that he's not going to be able to contribute this year. I still foolishly want to believe that he can get past all his troubles, and he's a hell of a talent, and he loves the Spurs.

[ChuckD]

lets take a chance with Oden! it could be a grant hill 2 ! although not sure for 1.5M

He had micro fracture surgery (again) on one of his knees, so no. He can't even be close to being ready, and in fact may never play again. I don't think anyone has ever played in the NBA after two MF surgeries on the same knee.

[racm]

I would take a chance on Oden. Not because reading how the Trailblazers' 'medical staff' likely ruined a young man's career with mishandling his knees (and he wasn't the only one), but because with a little rehab he could have by far the most potential as anyone on that list. The Spurs also have a very good medical and training staff (sure, Manu gets injured all the time but that's because of how reckless he plays). Tim Duncan wouldn't be putting up 22 points per game at age 36 without their help.

[Raven]

They prolly won't trade Gorat 'til next year though. He's pretty decent and doesn't break the bank, so they'll likely wait 'til his last year to deal him for some draft picks.

they won't trade him at all, with gogi and gortat, they are set for years to come... scola is also a great complement to both of them, they may resign him too, they probably will only care about taking care of the sg and sf positions.

[Chomag]

Agree with people here. I think the Spurs Medical staff can do wonders for Oden. He is a low risk high reward. Not saying the medical staff could get him going late in the season although it wouldn't surprise me if they could, it still would be nice to lock him up on this team for a few years. Oden if healthy and motivated would be just as good if not better then Howard imo.

If Oden's agent was smart he would get him on the Spurs just to get him the rehab he needs because they truly are one of the best in the business. Look at Timmy they work with him and he is looking like he has turned the clock back a few years, and Manu I have no doubt would have retired a couple of seasons ago had he not had this staff working with him.

Just my 2 cents

[Kidd K]

they won't trade him at all, with gogi and gortat, they are set for years to come... scola is also a great complement to both of them, they may resign him too, they probably will only care about taking care of the sg and sf positions.

That could be the case. But don't forget it takes both parties for them to come to an agreement. If Gortat doesn't want to re-sign, he'll be traded. I wouldn't just assume he's a lock to re-sign. Do the Suns want him? Yeah, but there two new factors: He's going to cost more, and does he want to stay?

[DAF86]

McDyess, Kenyon, anyone, someone.

[itzsoweezee]

should've just signed Blache. dude is looking really good for the nets

[szkorhetz]

should've just signed Blache. dude is looking really good for the nets

This is what I was thinking. He is a beast and huge, I mean, HUGE body.

[Tyrone Jenkins]

Kenyon Martin or no one.
