Sources also say that the field for Howard's free agency has widened considerably... Houston, Dallas, Atlanta, San Antonio, LA and Brooklyn

San Antonio has just $32.8 million in salary commits and could have as much as $26 million in capspace in July.

Actually @stevekylerNBA (https://twitter.com/stevekylerNBA) cap holds for Manu, Splitter and others soak up Spurs cap room. Only have room to go after Dwight if they renounce.

@kpelton (https://twitter.com/kpelton) Agreed. But then they have the Splitter issue, don't need him if you sign Dwight but would need to let him walk first to have room.

@basketballtalk (https://twitter.com/basketballtalk) But I could definitely see them getting Ginobili/Splitter done quickly and going after, say, David West.

@kpelton (https://twitter.com/kpelton) That would make a lot more sense to me. Agree on odds. Pop might break a wine bottle of Dwight's head... but only a cheap bottle.

[Keepin' it real]

Spurs don't need bitch Dwight Howard on the team. He's an anti-Spur.

[Fireball]

Spurs do not want that douchebag

[I. Hustle]

This wouldn't be scary?

[Homeland Security]

Just a ruse from the Howard camp to entice LA to pull the trigger. SA is not a real consideration; it doesn't fit either of Howard's criteria:
-- total lack of accountability
-- easy access to sex with pornstars

[bigfan]

Interesting but doesnt sound like a Spurs type move to me.

[MeloHype]

Fuck him

Al jefferson >>>>>

[Chinook]

:lol Howard trying to list the Spurs to make teams think he cares about getting better.

[Cowboys_Wear_Spurs]

The only bigman player other than Splitter that would be great in the PnR would be Howard. But really, you saw his effort in D'antoni's system. The guys could be great but that is a BIG IF. And I don't think the Spurs are willing to gamble 20+mil in salary cap for the NBA's version of Terrell Owens.

Tiago is a sure thing and he would cost nearly 3x less than Howard.

[Prime Time]

With the perimeter shooting Spurs have? This would highly increase the chances of #5 (Or 6 :D)

Plus Dwight could let Timmy go out with a title, Like what Duncan did with Robinson. Kinda funny, Robinson and Duncan are 10 years apart. Dwight and Duncan? 10 years apart as well.
Dwight would also have a much brighter future here. Kawhi, Danny, and Joseph would match up with him incredibly.

But he would never come, Not sure if Spurs would have the patience either. This is just the classic "Interested in SA so my stock can rise" trick. It's amazing to think of "what if", though.

[BillMc]

They'd have to pay him the max, and it would create internal strife with more accomplished players who play for a lot less (Tony, Timmy, etc).

[Russo21]

Stay the fuck away from San Antonio Dwight. We don't need your mess here. We don't want your mess here. GTFO You cant shoot, cant hit free throws, have no moves, you whine like a little bitch. He quickly become one of my least liked players over the last year or so. 37 year old Duncan carved him up in the playoffs lol. Spurs don't want or need that mess in San Antonio

[Seventyniner]

Somewhat intriguing. If he had expressed interest in coming to SA straight from Orlando, I'd be far more interested. We've seen how much of a diva and lockerroom cancer he is, though.

Bruno and Chinook can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the only way the Spurs could clear up enough space would be to get Manu to take the room exception (~$2.5M), renounce Splitter, Blair, and Neal, and waive Bonner.

That still leaves the problem of having Duncan at 38 and Howard who hasn't looked the same post-surgery take turns guarding stretch 4s. Could Duncan and Howard even share the floor against the Heat?

In other words, no thanks. David West is a far better fit, but only if Tiago gets such a big offer that the Spurs won't match it.

[szkorhetz]

TBH, if you can sign DH, then you will sign him, no excuses.

[manufan10]

Is the second to last tweet really suggesting that the Spurs can sign Manu/Splitter and go after David West? Or is it implying that the Spurs sign one of the two of Manu/Splitter and then go after David West?

[Prime Time]

TBH, if you can sign DH, then you will sign him, no excuses.
This. He's still the most dominating center in the league. No "Wah but he's a baby" excuses. This move would also benefit Duncan, less wear and tear on him. Besides, I'd rather deal with a baby than a wannabe gangsta with less intelligence than a bag of rocks. But again, No way he signs with SA.

[timvp]

He'd want the max ... and I don't think he's worth that, to be perfectly honest.

[dg7md]

Fuck yes take him. He has baggage but he wasn't really a coaching nightmare until the past 2-3 years imo.

Pop would straighten him out or cut him if it failed.

[Baam]

The only bigman player other than Splitter that would be great in the PnR would be Howard. But really, you saw his effort in D'antoni's system. The guys could be great but that is a BIG IF. And I don't think the Spurs are willing to gamble 20+mil in salary cap for the NBA's version of Terrell Owens.

Tiago is a sure thing and he would cost nearly 3x less than Howard.

OH MY GOD, what the fucking fuck???????

[King]

Hell yes take Dwight if you get the opportunity. The problem in LA was combining too many egos with a coach who can't handle them, and had no ability to develop a system to fit them. That's not a problem in SA. There's going to be a big hole when TD leaves, and having Howard fill it isn't a bad thing. Not that it will happen.

[jhuan16]

No, fuck this clown I rather we go for Al Jefferson or overpaid Tiago.

[Baam]

He'd want the max ... and I don't think he's worth that, to be perfectly honest.

Or maybe we're just spoiled with the Duncan and Robinson era, he's still worth the max, he played injured most of the year in a shitty system that didn't advantage of his defensive potential and still put up great numbers...

[Prime Time]

He'd want the max ... and I don't think he's worth that, to be perfectly honest.
To be perfectly honest..... A more legit way of tbh? I sense a new trend rising.

[Embedded]

Dwight Coward hates Tim Duncan, remember? I predicted he would get himself ejected from the playoffs against us. He is the anti-Spur. Self first - he can take his caustic ass to some losing club where he can be the center of the universe.

[Embedded]

If he is interested in us, it is only because he sees we are about to win a championship, something he never will.

[cutewizard]

the Spurs want Hibbert or Jefferson

all the rest are shit

[Floyd Pacquiao]

yea that would never happen...

[Seventyniner]

To be perfectly honest..... A more legit way of tbh? I sense a new trend rising.

What's next? Laughing out loud? In my opinion? Quoted for truth?

Shaking my head...

[Budkin]

2 years ago? Hell yes. Now? Fuck no.

[TheGreatYacht]

Hell yeah I would pull this trade without even thinking about it. Manu can take a veteran's min if he would like another ring before retiring or just let him walk. Obviously signing Dwight Howard probably means that Tiago Splitter won't resign unless he cares about winning and is willing to take an enormous pay cut. DH12 would become the focal point of the offense in the post and Tim Duncan can take a David Robinson roll and be the anchor of our defense in the interior.

[peacemaker885]

Could this be the reason that Tiago played much better last Tuesday? Dunking here and there? Nah...

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Fuck No!!!!!!!

[Juggity]

Howard > Splitter in terms of skill, but with Howard there's emotional baggage. Also he's a bit undersized.

[Chinook]

Bruno and Chinook can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the only way the Spurs could clear up enough space would be to get Manu to take the room exception (~$2.5M), renounce Splitter, Blair, and Neal, and waive Bonner.

Actually, from what Bruno put in his thread about salaries, even that's not enough. The Spurs would also have to hope Diaw opts out, as roster charges would take away a couple of million from the cap room. Right now, the Spurs have about $38.5 Million guaranteed (counting Bonner's million). The cap will be at $58.5 Million. So as of right now, the Spurs don't have the room.

[chrhawk]

Add Howard with Duncan, Leonard and Green, you instantly have the best defensive in the league and the best defensive Spurs team since 2004. If Howard expresses interest to play on your team, any GM worth his salt would make sure a deal gets done. But it's a pipe dream at this point because the Spurs won't have the money.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Screw that crybaby jackass.

[SpursDynasty21]

I'm not a fan of Dwight Howard, but him signing with the Spurs would be crazy. If he'd listen to the coaches, I'd be all for it.

[024]

Rofl, if Howard expressed legitimate interest, obviously the Spurs should pursue him. He'll have to commit pretty fast though because the Spurs have to renounce Splitter's rights. Howard has his weaknesses but is still a 3 top center when healthy. He's a little immature but I don't think he's cancer like Stephen Jackson. A good coaching environment and shooting coach would do wonders for him.

Since Stan Van Gundy basically copied Pop's blueprint in building a team around Howard, the Spurs already have the perfect coach for him.

Too bad the rumor is from Hoopsworld. That probably means Howard has zero interest.

[look_at_g_shred]

Mother fucker can't even shoot FT's. Had all season to improve, yet he didn't. This dude doesn't understand that skill isn't something given its earned. You have to work hard during the season and off-season. Timmy is a prime example of improving your game each year.

[m33p0]

would he sign a vet minimum? if yes then i'm all for it.

[Knoxxx]

We take this title and no telling what sort of goldmine we may reap in free agency. Dwight Howard is probably much too expensive for what he brings. Kobe amnestied and available for vet min could be nice.

Who else?!?

[ShoogarBear]

Thanks anyway, but nah.

[TheyCallMePro]

Dwight is a pre-madonna. There's no way he would ever be a Spur.

The Spurs have a list of "Could be Spurs". Dwight is not on that list. It doesn't matter how good he's perceived to be. He'll never play for Pop.

[etbluffer]

Howard has already said he doesn't want to play in a pick and roll system

[HemisfairArena]

If we're gonna take on a guy with baggage as the next great big man for the Spurs....give me DeMarcus Cousins over Howard. Cousins is gonna be an absolute beast...he just needs a guy like Pop to straighten his head out. Cousins would cost less and have more years to build around.

[Big Empty]

Nothing to lose pursuing howard, if it doesnt work out hes world class trade bait

[Knoxxx]

We should just count our blessings we won't be the idiots doling out a max contract to DH soon...

[Richie]

He'd want the max ... and I don't think he's worth that, to be perfectly honest.

Howard pre-injury was a top 3 player in the league. He may not reach those lofty heights again, but he's clearly a max player.

He could also single handedly extend Duncans career an extra 2 years.

[mrsmaalox]

No thank you!

[howbouthemspurs]

Will not work! Dwight is a 7 foot biatch

[tesseractive]

2 years ago? Hell yes. Now? Fuck no.
Some team has a chance to strike it rich with a "buy low, sell high" approach to gambling on him. I don't think we're remotely the right team for him though.

[tuncaboylu]

It's a no-brainer. With TP-Green-Kawhi-Duncan-Howard and Manu on the reserves we will be the beast of the league.

Think just once what would happen if we had him instead of Splitter this year.

Yes I love Splitter, but Howard is a different story. We wouldn't allow more than 80 points in a game. And he can keep his ego under the Pop's management.

[tesseractive]

the Spurs want Hibbert or Jefferson

all the rest are shit
Al Jefferson? Really?

[tesseractive]

Just a ruse from the Howard camp to entice LA to pull the trigger. SA is not a real consideration; it doesn't fit either of Howard's criteria:
-- total lack of accountability
-- easy access to sex with pornstars
I think that about covers it. :lol

[Richie]

Right now, the Spurs have about $38.5 Million guaranteed (counting Bonner's million). The cap will be at $58.5 Million. So as of right now, the Spurs don't have the room.

We could use the stretch provision on Diaw or amnesty Bonner to free up a bit of extra space. It's surely doable.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

He'll go somewhere for max money. I don't see any way that doesn't happen. There's no way he leaves money on the table after spending a whole season staring a very nasty fact in the face: his status and reputation as a franchise-caliber player is highly tenuous.

Which is a shame because I really do believe there's a Spurs player buried somewhere underneath all the layers of bullshit that have built up over the last 2 years. His first few years in the league he was roundly praised for his work ethic. Stan Van Gundy was known as a guy who wasn't going to coddle and Dwight generally rose to the challenge to improve - not unlike Pop and Tony. Then it was like something in his brain just broke and he started doing all his business through the media, which is never a good idea for any player but a particularly terrible one for a guy with so little experience. After a year being miserable under all the spot light in anti-S.A. being coached by the anti-Pop and playing along side the anti-Tim I think he could be made to see the appeal of the Spurs and how they do things.

Overall the price tag is too high for a man with some very big question marks surrounding his health. Even if what I said above held true and he got his head right I don't know that his body won't betray him all too quickly and turn a max contract into a monster albatross.

[Knoxxx]

Hibbert is signed through 2016 I thought we were talking free agents?

I can't see us throwing the kind of money at Jefferson that Utah and others probably will. Surely they would at least offer him the $15 million he got this year with all their cap room.

[Knoxxx]

Great point. He is one more back injury away from becoming an undersized version of late career D Rob with less skill and IQ. D Rob at least always had that nice jumper unlike DH who can't seem to do anything other than dunk and block shots.

[benefactor]

Just a ruse from the Howard camp to entice LA to pull the trigger. SA is not a real consideration; it doesn't fit either of Howard's criteria:

Houston would work though. Just replace pornstars with strippers.

[ajballer4]

I like what the last tweet said. Gimme David West over Howard anyday

[Cherry]

Dwight Howard coached by Pop? :lol

[ontheraise]

if the dude take a 5/6mper year 3 years deal than sign the bitch

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

He isn't worth the money. He'd ruin our bench, and with Timmy getting another year older Dwight will need to play more. If he gets injured we're extremely thin.

Regarding Dwight's intentions, I'm not saying this isn't a trick to get more money, but perhaps he heard Shaq's criticism and realized that he needs Timmy and Pop to reach his full potential.

[Chinook]

We could use the stretch provision on Diaw or amnesty Bonner to free up a bit of extra space. It's surely doable.

Don't forget roster charges take away about $1.5 Million of cap space with the players currently under contract (not including Bonner), so that negates the money the Spurs would save by amnestying Bonner. Stretching Diaw would save $3 Million (only a million after roster charges), and BARELY get the Spurs enough room to sign Howard. It wouldn't really be worth it to do both, as the Spurs only gain enough cap space to sign a minimum contract, or maybe two rookie-min deals.

[InRareForm]

Can we wait for these bogus rumors until after the finals is over

[InRareForm]

Dwight was actually coming along the second half of the season with the Lakers. He was looking good again with elite defense prescence. It's just that his team sucked tbh...

[baseline bum]

Too many questions about Howard's back and I don't want the drama. If he was healthy it'd be a no-brainer to give him a max deal even with his off-the-court garbage, but with his back what it is a Howard max deal could become the kind of dead-weight that would kill the Spurs for the next 4 years. Like a much worse version of Charles Smith (miss 4 layups Charles Smith, not spiderman Charles Smith) or Jefferson.

[baseline bum]

And Bible Kemp executing an offense as complex as Pop's? (lol who would have thought we'd be saying that 10 years ago when it was 4-down every possession?)

[DOS CHAINZ]

Offer him the MLE or move the fk on

[phxspurfan]

In a heartbeat. Pop would make this dude MVP

[phxspurfan]

Howard, Leonard, Splitter, Parker and Green. Holy cow.

[tuncaboylu]

Howard, Leonard, Splitter, Parker and Green. Holy cow.

No Splitter if Howard comes.

[milkyway21]

is Duncan retiring soon?

Because I don't see the point why they have to add Howard.
Unless the Spurs wants to build a new core of players for the future.
Plus he wants more :greedy
And w/ salary cap around $ 41.8, some yet to be signed, can he sign for less?

He can be a big addition to teams because of his size, & he can score & defend. If nurtured by a good coach & he is willing to listen for his betterment he can be successful. A coach like Pop could be great for him, but with his ego as big as Texas he won' fit in San Antonio. Hey, after the 4-0 sweep, he said once he doesn't want to see Duncan #21 jersey, right? And I'm sure he'll see a lot around town & in the locker room :lol

With Dallas after him, and Houston, S.A. just wants to join his free agency like every time when a top player is on the market.


Besides we already have a dunker. No Need. :(

[sexinthatsx]

A player's attitude and demeanor is affected by the very first team he joins. When he has power to run the teams, then he will be a head case just like Dwight Howard. While this guy can play out of his mind, Spurs don't need a player like Dwight to instill crappy attitudes to the whole team. Spurs have always worked best by bringing players in that are willing to improve and change (like Danny Green), or drafting a lottery pick or player that had the underdog and disciplined mentality to begin with. Remember, Kawhi came out of San Diego State in a particularly weak conference of the NCAA; he had that underdog and discipline mentality rather than a showboat mentality.

[gnsf0946]

why does this thread have 3 pages already when it should be buried under other similar shitty threads? tbh

[BoviceRunsTrains]

What's the possibility of getting Josh Smith?

[hater]

This wouldn't be scary?

How is Duncan next to a giant Vagina scary?

[yavozerb]

James, Wade, Bosh all make less than the max. If Howard is willing to do the same for the sake of winning, I am all for it. Regardless of the hate for Howard, he is still a beast...

[tesseractive]

I like what the last tweet said. Gimme David West over Howard anyday
West has always seemed like a good guy who cares about his team and about winning. I can't believe he would walk away from that Indiana team unless they straight-up lowball him, and that would be really stupid for the Pacers to do.

[Maddog]

What's the possibility of getting Josh Smith?

Hopefully zero
With regards to Howard- this is just agent talk- driving up the interest.
I think Bill Simmons summed it up best
http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/9308573/searching-dwight-howard

He really should ditch the broadcast booth

[spurraider21]

If Chip can teach him to master the corner 3 he'd be perfect IMO

[Seventyniner]

James, Wade, Bosh all make less than the max. If Howard is willing to do the same for the sake of winning, I am all for it. Regardless of the hate for Howard, he is still a beast...

Good point. If Howard were willing to take less than the max, several more teams could open up cap space for him.

[ironman2886]

I don't think Howard likes Duncan or Pop. Watching him work the pick and roll with Tony would be amazing though. His defense is elite. Defense and Pick and roll offense? Yes please. San Antonio is last on his list.

[SpursDynasty21]

The Spurs will need a big man when Duncan retires. Howard might be a good fit.

[JR3]

He'd want the max ... and I don't think he's worth that, to be perfectly honest.
That is the bottom line of this idea.

[vander]

I'm not all up to date on the cap rules, but couldn't SA clear some cap space by trading Diaw and Bonner for 2nd round picks or something, then be able to keep Splitter and Manu and still bring in Howard?

TD/Splitter/Howard would be pretty sick

and defensively? with Leonard and Green? F*** yeah! Spurs would "set the NBA back 20 years" again :lol

[Two10Whitey]

He'll piss off Pop and end up like Jackson. Dude is a punk and doesn't care about winning.

[Beaverfuzz]

bzzzzzt. If Dwight wants to be a ball boy, he can sign with the Spurs. He's been overrated ever since he's come into the league.

[Mark in Austin]

4 years, $40M. years 2, 3, 4 are separate team options. not one penny more.

[wildshoe]

im probably in the vast minority but i think if(major if that pop stays if we win this season) howard could get 3 seasons of popovich+duncan coaching him, he could be an -amazing- replacement for the irreplaceable tim duncan, sure it will be a huge hit to lose TD but i do believe with the proper training d12 could be a force to be reckoned with in the spurs system

[100%duncan]

lol no

[Juggity]

Dwight's free throw shooting would also be a major problem with signing him. He shows no interest in improving — had an entire season this year to work on it, and seemed to get worse over the course of the year.

You can't have a player on the floor who's constantly susceptible to the hack. Pop knows and exploits that fact more than any other coach.

[Baseline]

He'd want the max ... and I don't think he's worth that, to be perfectly honest. Exactly. He's worth nowhere near the max, especially at his stage of his career when it's obvious that he'll never develop even 2-3 reliable post moves. Secondly, he can't and/or is unwilling to pass. Thirdly, he's the most polarizing player in the league after K. Bryant. Lastly, he's the most overrated player in the league after K. Bryant.

[elemento]

He is just putting the Spurs in the conversation because they're in the Finals. He wants attention and he is simply using the Spurs to get it. He will never be a Spur and I don't give a damn about it tbh.

[BatManu20]

Will never happen in a million years, and thank God. I don't want that prima-dona cancer in a Spurs uni.

[mingus]

Pop would tap his potential like he does every other play. And a TP/Manu/Dwight pick n roll would be devestating. He'd also be learning from the best post player in the last 15 years on a daily basis.

[Pentagruel]

First off, I don't see any reason why Dwight would sign with the Spurs. It seems to me like he values the spotlight of a city like LA too much to go to a small market that doesn't already have another flashy superstar there. If he was legitimately interested then i'm sure the Spurs would take him in a heartbeat.

People forget so quickly how dominant he was in Orlando because he had one bad year in LA with injury issues and a coach/system which was antithesis to his playing style. I still can't believe the Lakers hired Mike D'antoni to coach a team centered around Dwight. While Dwight is without a doubt immature, I don't think he is a team cancer or a real malcontent. I don't doubt for one minute that the Spurs' structured organization would do him a world of good, and likewise I think that his FT% and other shortcomings could be improved upon (how many poor shooters, including FT shooters have improved in SA?).

With all that said, this is almost certainly an erroneous rumor as again, I don't think Dwight Howard has any interest in moving to a small market, especially with Tim Duncan being 37 and likely to play only a few more years. If it did somehow happen though then it would be an incredible coup for SA and the Spurs will have instantly reloaded and remain a championship contender for many more years to come. As an added bonus, I could see Tim playing for an extra few years with Dwight on board.

[barbacoataco]

2 years ago? Hell yes. Now? Fuck no.

This

[siraulo23]

if not max money absolutely you get this guy, are you kidding me???

that said howard actually considering playing for the spurs :lol

[dunkman]

If he were smart, he would with the Spurs. And Adidas would put some contract there, since a team with Parker, Howard and Leonard is sure to win 'ships if coached by Pop.

[dbreiden83080]

Pass....

[Captivus]

All agents say the Spurs are interested in their players. Their value increases instantly.

[aal04]

I want Anthony Davis. Get him Raw, get him under Tim Duncan wing with the Spurs coaching staff

Admiral -> Timmy -> Anthony Davis

That would be amazing.

[aal04]

Regardless of how much of a dik he is. Hes a great player.

We closed him out in the first round but we focused severely on him.

If he was on this team, with TD, parker and our sharpshooters. We would be easy faves.

I dont think Splitter is going to get any better.

[Texas_Ranger]

any center with a pair of balls would be good for me.
