Fuck signing either of them. The Spurs have no need whatsoever at SF with Leonard here and on a cheap contract. They desperately need a legit backup PG.

I would prefer trying to go after David West.
West is almost 33, and has on and off back problems. No fuckin thank you.Quote:

True, but money talks. If someone wants money, and a shot at a ring. San Antonio wouldn't be a bad place this year. They have the negotiating power of making it to the Finals this past season. A Finals they should have won....whoever they court can "be the missing piece." Make them feel special lol. We don't need a lot of quality FA's just one difference maker. If our front office truly believes we can get back and win a ring with the same team, I think we all know they are wrong. A year older for the big 3....we need one more difference maker on this team. It has to happen. Manu is slowing, obviously, Parker is way to inconsistent(IMHO it's due to his size) and Timmy is a beast!!! A 37 year old beast. He is what he is. He needs help. I don't see why we can't resign Splitter, not saying I want that, and still add another quality FA. Of course that means letting a few mediocre players walk. Boner, Neal, Blair, etc. We need to see what we have in Nando anyway, he is a creator and has a lil more size than Neal. We need to give CoJo a few more minutes, Neal leaving does that. Neal is limited on D, and can only really shoot the 3, and doesn't create. With Bonner and Blair gone, Baynes can get more minutes, we don't really know his upside, but we know we get no upside with Bonner and Blair.
Exactly. I dont want overestimate Grenn but kmon! We have a cheap starter there that defends and scores. Unless someone tells me Iggy will average 30/15.Quote:

its not that i don't want iguodala to play for the spurs. its that i think we can make a better acquisition than iguodala with the cap space our team hasQuote:

Glad these "pros" are finally listening to everything I've been writing everywhere about Smoove being THE PERFECT fit for Spurs. I'll be so pissed if we don't offer him near max.Quote:

If Spurs do sign Iggy. 1 thing will be official...spurs will play a lot of small ball and we will be the best in the league doing so...
Iggy is a more polished, experienced version of Kawhi. I would rather develop Leonard. Josh Smith would be more of a need filler, but the Spurs ain't getting either one tbh.
Smith > Evans > Iguoudala are my list of guys, who`d like for 55/5 for Spurs.
If JR Smith would just grow the F8ck up, he'd be great. He's athletic, can shoot the 3 and drive to the basket. That's the player we could use at the shooting guard position. I just don't know about his head and if he's matured at all. San Antonio's lack of nightlife could get rid of distractions.
The free agent that should be pursued is Nikola Pekovic.

don't want to rain on your parade but don't see any of these guys coming to SA......
I almost nutted thinking about that. Plus Iggy wouldn't have been absent on offense like Green.Quote:
