What move are Spurs trying to pull before signing Leonard & Green?

[loveforthegame]

Interesting. Pickings are slim anyway.

[kaji157]

If true it would be a great addition

[Cowboys_Wear_Spurs]

I know he's done well in Euroleague, but not sure how he would translate to SA. Obviously, he's talented and huge and has played well at a top level, but I guess for as cheap can't do much better. He's only like 27,right?

Just watching some highlights, for a 7'4" guy, he is pretty nimble. Just as quick as Mutumbo was imo, just doesn't have the hops.

[Anonymous Cowherd]

a guy at FIFTH big in the rotation who averaged 17 and 11 in Euroleague? erm, yes please!

For me he moves like Milicic and I always loved Darko's game.

Agree, he is super slow though but he can't be worse than Ayers.

He's not slow in the sense of he can't run in a straight line effectively - but I'm talking about defense. He should block shots, but I have no idea how he would survive any PnR, switches or any other defensive activity other than some quick help or post up.

[Vic Petro]

Very solid if true.

Agreed. Blocks and boards, nothing more.

You didn't hear it from me, but we're looking for a legit center as our 5th big... mostly for the nights where Tim and West get rest.



It's about Boban Marjanovic.

The Serbian news are saying that he's gonna sign with the Spurs.... That would be great, he's a great center.


Spurs might sign Boban Marjanovic.

I have no words

[raybies]

Guys, we need a big that can match up with the Howards and Gasols of the world. A body to take up space and can at least handle the strength of bigger players. Anything he brings offensively is a plus. I'm not saying he's gonna be a stud, but considering the market, I like the fact that we are going the route of young players with upside to fill the end of the bench, than old "hungry" vets. With these Europeans, you never know what you are gonna get, how they are going to respond, how they match up. Low risk, (?) reward here. If he can handle the post against bigger players that's all we really need. He's one of the best bigs in Europe, might be a high reward.

[DPG21920]

RC confirming what many of us speculated about him going after a wing :tu

[TheMulletMan3000]

Who the fuck is this scrub?

Serbian player. He had an excellent year in Red Star Belgrade.
From euroleage.net
named to the 2014-15 All-Euroleague First Team...named 2013-14 Euroleague Round 10 MVP...named the 2014-15 Euroleague Round 1, 7 and Top 16 Round 14 MVP

Probably going to be Shved or Butler. It was pretty obvious Duncan took less salary so the Spurs could sign a serviceable wing. But it will be interesting to see who the spurs try to sign to fill this role.

[NASpurs]

Gawd damn that dude is ugly.

It's part of his tactics to scare people away from driving to the lane.

:wow pretty impressive, this dude might be the tallest player in the NBA if we sign him, who is taller? The dude literally just reaches over people down low, and it looks like he can pass. Seems like a no brainer signing especially with whats left.

[fundamental9903]

No confirmation yet on Marjanovic.

[Texas_Ranger]

If this is true all we need is a wing.

It's true, it's true.

I've been daydreaming him being signed on a cheap deal almost everyday, picturing how he'd do on the court.

If LMA wants to play with a center, they don't get bigger

[cd021]

Bhullar in Sacramento but he was a call up last year. Mosgov is 7'3 so i think Boban would be the tallest.

It's true, it's true.

Does this guy have range outside of the paint? Seems like a good passer too.

[Cowboys_Wear_Spurs]

Does this guy have range outside of the paint? Seems like a good passer too.

yes he does. I watched several highlight reels. Has a very similar playing style to Yao on the offensive end. He can his the 15 to 18 ft jumper. But get the ball to him within 3ft of the basket, he is money.

[baseline bum]

God damn this team could really be filthy next season. I never figured they'd be able to replace Baynes at the backup C spot, but this guy looks like he might be capable of reproducing his production in a 10-15 minute a night bench role.

[objective]

He has Baynes range. Every once in awhile he'll stick the mid range shot, not bad. Better than splitter by far in that aspect.

He is a pretty good passer, hard to say if he's as good as splitter, but better than Ayres and Baynes, no doubt.

He's smart too, should fit right in

[ceperez]

Stats say, he has a paltry 62% from the field.

[ceperez]

yes he does. I watched several highlight reels. Has a very similar playing style to Yao on the offensive end. He can his the 15 to 18 ft jumper. But get the ball to him within 3ft of the basket, he is money.

You saying that even after Spurs got Aldrige and West, we also got Yao Ming in his prime???!

[Kawhitstorm]

Thinking more along the lines of PJ Hairston than Fournier. The Spurs aren't gonna get anyone remotely established with that cap space. PJ checks all the boxes, and the Spurs can trade Williams for him, so they wouldn't have to time their signings too much.

PJ Hairston might be the biggest knucklehead w/ an NBA contract.

[baseline bum]

I don't think there are too many better passing bigmen than Splitter in the league, so I would never have such an unrealistic expectation they could reproduce that for $2 million.

[beirmeistr]

Gawd damn that dude is ugly.

mental midgets like howard and jordan will be scared shitless

[LaMarcus Bryant]

This team is still in trouble if Danny gets hurt, or goes cold at the wrong time.
With all these great signings, what do we do if the above happens?

[Cowboys_Wear_Spurs]

You saying that even after Spurs got Aldrige and West, we also got Yao Ming in his prime???!

I Suppose so. The guy looks damn good for 7'4" player. 7'8" wingspan and 9'7" standing reach. No way teams and switch a guard or even small forward on this guy.

There is some highlights where he is like 3 ft from the basket and still dunks over people because of his reach.

LMA, West, Ray, and Boban for 25mil to replace Cojo, Splitter. Baynes, Beli whose combine salaries are 28mil. Spurs still need a wing, but still, this is a huge upgrade for the same price.

Not to be premature, but the Spurs should dominate the league this year.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

According to Basketball-Reference, the following are in that general price range:

Terrence Ross ($3.553)
Matt Barnes ($3.542)
Nerlens Noel ($3.457)
Marcus Smart ($3.431)
Bojan Bogdanovic ($3.425)
Evan Turner ($3.425)
Quincy Pondexter ($3.382)
Anthony Morrow ($3.344)
Mike Scott ($3.333)
Andre Drummond ($3.272)
Randy Foye ($3.270)
Ben McLemore ($3.156)
Julius Randle ($3.132)
Meyers Leonard ($3.075)
Jeremy Lamb ($3.034)
Furkan Aldemir ($3.000)
D.J. Augustin ($3.000)
Jerryd Bayless ($3.000)
Anthony Tolliver ($3.000)
John Henson ($2.943)

Obviously, many of those are likely either unavailable or uninteresting.

Give me Henson or Mike Scott - both projects with some potential to fill one of the two remaining holes, namely 5th swing and 5th big (assuming Red Rocket is 6th big).

Actually, maybe Poindexter in front of Scott. He seems like a natural Spur to me.

[spurraider21]

Alright. Time to get the boys signed up :hungry:

[Obioneginobili]

To me we still haven't replaced Marco yet

[tatteredprince]

Marjanovic can be a really good rotation player in the regular season for our Spurs

i think this could be the most versatile roster in years,

we can go big or small,

[tatteredprince]

consider, Marjanovic at center, LaMarcus at power forward, then surround those two towers with shooters

Mills, Kahwi and Green

sweet

[MaNu4Tres]

God damn this team could really be filthy next season. I never figured they'd be able to replace Baynes at the backup C spot, but this guy looks like he might be capable of reproducing his production in a 10-15 minute a night bench role.

Don't get it confused.

West is replacing Baynes' spot.

Boban is replacing Ayres' spot. tbh

[tatteredprince]

Boris Diaw will gonna enjoy passing to Boban at the post, hahaha:
