Do the Spurs sign some one? If yes, who?

[Buddy Holly]

I don't think a backup SF is as important of a fill with Kawhi probably playing 40 a game. With Diaw out, I think they just give Bonner his PT (:ihit) and then give Baynes Bonners current minutes. So that leaves the 2 spot as a must fill.

Tracy McGrady? Maybe Delonte West?

[Robz4000]

They should, but they won't.

[loveforthegame]

I doubt they sign anyone but wish they'd look at Dominic Maguire or Donte Greene. Guys might not shoot well but can defend the 3-4 positions.

I cringe thinking of Green and Manu backing up Leonard.

[TheGoldStandard]

Unless there is a 6'3 SG on the market the spurs won't make a move.

Delonte West.

Delonte West.
Lol the Spurs wouldn't touch him with a 10 foot pole.

[timvp]

Probably not.

It doesn't matter.

[superjames1992]

We sign David Robinson. I heard a rumor he is considering playing again.

:lmao

[Ditty]

We're going to lose in the 2nd round who cares

[Pop]

Gonna be Finley.

Hes already on the bench. .... IME UDOKA!!!

[jag]

I don't think you should be alone right now. Don't do anything crazy.

If we didn't know who he was, Who would guess basketball would be his profession.

[Venti Quattro]

Does it matter if anyone who's signed now is ineligible to make the playoff roster.

[Strategic]

Probably not.

It doesn't matter.

Damnit driver, keep your eyes on the road.

[Buddy Holly]

Does it matter if anyone who's signed now is ineligible to make the playoff roster.

Nope. Just waived players. Players who were FA before March 1, have til wed to be picked up and be playoff eligible.

[swaggerjackson]

I was under the impression we can only have 12 players on the playoff roster. With Jax gone that leaves us with 13 players. I don't think we would sign a free agent who could unseat two of our bench players in just two weeks. Knowing the system and running it precisely is what gives this team strength, so even if quality small forwards did exist in the free agent market, it is still unlike we bring them in because they don't have enough time to learn the system and develop chemistry. It sucks but we just have to go into the playoffs with all our small forward hopes on Kawhi.

[Poolboy5623]

Does this help baynes chances of suiting up for the playoffs? I wondered if the admiral was making a comeback?haha(comment above)..and lol at ime suiting up. Please god, no.

[Poolboy5623]

Here's a thought..maybe the warriors will give the spurs rj back?...for free...

[EricB]

Probably not.

It doesn't matter.

Pretty much this.

[boutons_deux]

I doubt anybody's gonna take Jack off waivers, so Spurs are stuck paying him. I doubt they'd grab somebody now who does not "know the system", would just sit on the bench, like Baynes.

[Strategic]

It's not too late for a 10 day contract. Bring up Jamichal Green from the Toros. He's 6'9" and athletic, plus can make free throws and layups. He knows a little about the Spurs system and has played with Joseph this year. Dominic McGuire or Donte Greene would probably go for a 10 day as well.

No cry babies allowed in this thread. It doesn't behoove. Now let's get :smokin.

Meh, on second thought 10 day contract would do nothing. Forget about it!

[Solid D]

For those of you who thought, "Hmmm, I wonder what James Gist (Panathinaikos) or Erazem Lorbek (FCB) are doing about now?" They are, of course, under contract and playing in the Euroleague playoffs..against each other. Gist has a sore tendon, though.

Check out James Gist. He had a couple of nice dunks and a sweet block in Game 1.

http://www.eurobasket.com/VideoView.asp?video=28864

[cjw]

At the very least, sign a guy to a big stiff to a 10 day contract and save Duncan / Splitter's legs for the final three games. Will cost $50k-$100k max. Oh wait, we already have one at the end of the bench.

But someone to take Kawhi's minutes at SF would be nice for the Golden State game. No way anyone plays that game.

[Budkin]

No one is going to be signed. Pop would never play them anyway.

[spurs10]

No one is going to be signed. Pop would never play them anyway.
:toast

[SenorSpur]

:toast :toast

[Chomag]

Pop would not play anyone anyway, but yes I think they need to get someone. This Team is so freaking tiny right now and with only 1 SF who will be guarding Durant or Lebron outside of Lenard of course.

Those are two players that draw a ton of fouls, KL most likely will be in foul trouble all game.

[blkroadrunners]

If the Spurs sign someone, they'll just use him for the regular season to allow Kawhi and Green to rest (ala Derrick Byars last year).

[Russo21]

Did Kenyon martin ever get signed? I lost track with where he is at

[Bruno]

My pick is Dominic McGuire.

I don't think Spurs can find a player good enough to be a full time backup SF. The backup SF slot will be primary hold by Green/Ginobili. Spurs are still fine depth wise on the wings with Leonard, Ginobili, Green and Neal.

The best use to do with that roster spot is to sign a situational player that could help them at some point of the playoffs. I can see Mcguire being that guy by giving Spurs a second good defender behind Kawhi to slow down Durant and Lebron.

[Spur-Addict]

Did Kenyon martin ever get signed? I lost track with where he is at

Knicks.

And I don't see a signing happening. Like others have said, if we do, it's not going to matter anyways. The guy would get a couple minutes only in a jam, and probably not even that.

[ChumpDumper]

They'll probably sign someone, but I doubt it will be anyone who will play.

[sventhedog]

why not bruce bowen?

[ChumpDumper]

Because he's retired.

[SenorSpur]

I like this pick also. Though I highly doubt the Spurs will make a move.

Pop's wet dream is about to come true...
http://i50.tinypic.com/2ag6zhd.jpg
He's Matt Bonner w/ 15% more athleticism.
The Red Towers.

[blizz]

Bobby Simmons? He knows the system already. Is he with anyone right now?

[superjames1992]

I read a rumor that Sean ****** is coming out of retirement to play this postseason, tbh...

[Sean Cagney]

Pop would not play anyone anyway, but yes I think they need to get someone. This Team is so freaking tiny right now and with only 1 SF who will be guarding Durant or Lebron outside of Lenard of course.

Those are two players that draw a ton of fouls, KL most likely will be in foul trouble all game.
If we make it that far they should have thought of that before they cut Jax, but I don't even know if they make it to the WCF, they have go get past Houston and then a tougher team in round two and that right now looks iffy.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Here's a thought..maybe the warriors will give the spurs rj back?...for free...
The Warriors will have to pay the Spurs a lot of money to take that garbage back.

[blizz]

Jax wasn't going to take us anywhere. That he's gone now doesn't mean we will not go far. People need to chill out.

[Budkin]

Rent a D Rob?

[TD 21]

Probably not.

It doesn't matter.

It does. Not because the player would be in the rotation, but because, what's the downside? They've got the open roster spot, their intent is presumably to still go four rounds (though with this decision, I question that; not because of his on court play, but because I see it as symbolic, like when they gave away Ratliff in '10) and they've got guys dropping like flies at the moment. The odds of whoever they bring in making any sort of meaningful contribution are extremely slim to say the least, but still, the team should be equipped with a reasonable number of bodies at each position just in case.

Scalabrine has actually hit clutch shots in the playoffs before.

[jermaine]

If Pop has a big sitting on the dam bench when everyone sees the lineup of Blair an Bonner suck an he choose not to play Baynes! Why an the hell think they gone sign some unknown player who hasnt had one day of spurs practice!?! In the game against the Kings- Pop tried every lineup to make sure Baynes didn't get in. But someone else just pose to jump in an make a difference? Lmmfao

he'll get his chances with diaw out and duncan getting rest.

how about raja bell ?

[exstatic]

Raja was on Utah's roster, even though he never played a game, until after the release for playoff eligibility deadline.

No biggie. He's fucking done, anyway.

[LarryDavid]

Don't think they'll sign anyone. Even if they do, do you think they would see the floor much, seeing as how Baynes' PT has been handled this year, Splitter two years ago. Get ready for micro-ball!!!

[outmap]

Derrick Brown please!

[ace3g]

Derrick Brown please!

Speaking of Brown, since a couple of people have mentioned his name, here are his stats with his current Euro team;

Tracy mcgrady?

[ace3g]

Just noticed Tyler Wilkerson isn't playing tonight in game 2 of the opening round of the NBDL Playoffs (he has played the last 3 games). He has had stints with the team before, could be possible.

[ChumpDumper]

Couple of decent SF types just finished their D-League seasons, but no immediate help.

You are right for some reason I was thinking it was March, lol, and even then the days don't match the month I thought it was.

[ChumpDumper]

If they're going the D-League route, I'd take a look at Tony Mitchell and see if his head is on straight.

[ace3g]

What about Demetris Nichols, didn't his name get mentioned a few times a while ago.

http://www.nba.com/dleague/playerfile/demetris_nichols/game_by_game_stats.html

[ChumpDumper]

Nichols is a good shooter with the right size, but not much else to his game.

[silverblk mystix]

:pop: "Mike Finley. In crunch time it will be Neal, Finley, Bonner, Blair & DeColo. Finley is a fine low post defender and a consummate professional!"

[DrunkTXLabrat]

d leaguer or somebody from preseason sounds most likely to me. chump seems to be the d league expert so whoever he likes.:wakeup if they break the mold and go with that donte greene guy, i'd be pretty optimistic. he sounds like a spurs kinda personality.

ps - i knew the lack of depth behind leonard/ sjax was an issue. casspi on the roster would be pretty nice right about now.

[silverblk mystix]

lol d league expert

[Seventyniner]

The only reason the Spurs would sign someone is to soak up minutes in these last two games. No chance of a player signed this late getting any playoff burn.

Going from an earlier post by Bruno, a minimum contract at this point would cost the Spurs around $15,000. I'd be fine getting a SG/SF and playing them 44 mpg each of these last two so that Pop can rest the important players. The Spurs' seeding is basically locked up anyway.

[Budkin]

If only we still had our Centerpiece...

http://www.chicitysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/pic401.jpg

[ChumpDumper]

lol d league expertlol making it about me again. I understand you're obsessed with me.

It's just a suggestion if they go that direction, seems like an NBA vet signing would be more helpful at this point.

[Austin_Toros]

Quinton Ross

[superjames1992]

We sign Speedy Claxton. Tbh...

[ace3g]

Emiliano Carchia ‏@SportandoBasket (https://twitter.com/SportandoBasket) 1h (https://twitter.com/SportandoBasket/status/324213497846173698) Grizzlies likely to sign Donte Greene http://www.sportando.net/eng/usa/nba/54 (http://t.co/LRcx34LZe6)

Alex Kennedy ‏@AlexKennedyNBA (https://twitter.com/AlexKennedyNBA) 1h (https://twitter.com/AlexKennedyNBA/status/324219120516206593) The New York Knicks have signed Quentin Richardson for the remainder of the season.

[loveforthegame]

As if the Grizzlies need Greene too. smh.

I forgot. We have Bonner to play sf.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Why all this talk about adding guys? Personally I think we should cut a couple more players before the playoffs start.

[hooperflash]

Tracy McGrady

[Budkin]

:lol

[Tracy McGrady]

me

[DrunkTXLabrat]

i think somebody younger and/or system familiar might have been smart but... at least, mcgrady has been deadly against the spurs. and might be still be deadly with them.
