That was Davis Bertans, not Lorbek. IIRC Lorbek signed a multi year deal with his Euro team. Not sure if he would be worth a buyout, but the Spurs will have the cash to do so if they wish.Quote:

He's got one more year, I could definitely see him playing out his contract as a (hopefully) 5th big man unless we need the cap space.Quote:

$30,000 a yearQuote:

Hopefully Splitter/Bonner/Neal/Blair
There needs to be a "don't sign splitter" petition.. I don't hate the guy but I don't see anything that he's going to drastically improve on that will make him worth a price over 2 million a year. The guy is a bench big in the regular season at an average level but we can't move forward with that.
He signed a multi year deal with Barcelona last year, becoming the player with the highest salary in Barcelona's history. He's had a pretty bad season, also some knee problems (he just had arthroscopy). Personally I wouldn't bring him over here. For me, he is too much of an "European-style player".Quote:

I figured that, I was just fucking with you. Is there a SG or C prospect that may fit the Spurs needs in the Euro leagues that aren't locked up over multi year deals?Quote:

Well Spurs have rights for Marcus Denmon, who is a SG, Adam Hanga (SF), but I haven't seen them play so I don't know much about them. Also for Davis Bertans (SF) but he blew up his knee just a week ago, so he is out for 6 months at least.Quote:

It is very unlikely that Bonner will be with the Spurs next year. His trade value is so much better than his contract and performance value. I think the Spurs can get away with moving on from Splitter and going after a big name PF. I think Baynes will adequately be able to replace Splitter's production if not more on a per minute basis.
Marcus Denmon is another undersized 2 guard, and is basically the same pick as Jack McClintock. The Spurs need some height there IMO. I have been following Adam Hanga, I was hoping they invite him to the Summer League this year.. he has some height but needs to add some bulk for sure.Quote:

We need a SG that can shoot and attack the basket. Danny Green was a nice trick while it lasted, but Miami really exposed his one dimensional play. Ferry likes Green alot, so I could see him going there.
You know Pop loves bringing over a guy around 25-26. Hell, he brought over Oberto's 30 something year old ass..Quote:
