True, but it also shows that FA's are not always the best option. I'd rather don't sign any FA's (of other teams) than pay one I don't like 100% (Mayo, Big-Al, Millsap don't do it for me).
Or put it this way: If we can sign Splitter for less than Big-Al while avoiding to trade away an improved CoJo+firstrounder just to get rid of BigAl' contract(after he pissed bed), it may be a good no move.
For my part: Get Josh Smith(gamble but would look nice next to KL), D12 (which I hate, but who gives us some upside) or KG (only if Timmy is agreeing which is a huge "IF"...and we would have to trade for him!) or focus on resigning Splitter while doing some minor tweeking.
Re: Spurs possible destination for top 5 FA
Thanks for posting the article OP. I'm really surprised two experts picked the Spurs as a destination for Iguodala.
I'm not going to get my panties in a bunch over thinking we have a real chance of getting him, but man would that be an awesome fuckin fit. Dude is almost exactly what we need/needed last year. A great ballhandler/slasher/defender with size who can play the 2 and the 3. Not to mention very athletic and wil compete for loose balls and rebounds.
He can't shoot like the other perimeter guys on the Spurs, but as we all know, guys who play for us always seem to shoot better after coming here. Plus his shooting isn't so shitty that it's entirely unreliable. It's decent.
I don't think he's a real possibility, but I think they should make a little bit of an effort to see what he thinks about playing for the Spurs and for how much. He would be a fantastic fit. I've wanted him on the Spurs for years.
Josh Smith though, I don't see us getting him. He will want a max deal and not only can we not afford it, but he isn't worth it. If we could get him for a reasonable price I'd like him, but this is one time where I think the "no thanks" option shouldn't make Spurfans seem spoiled or jaded. I really don't think he's worth a max. I didn't want Amar'e back when he got his max either, and look how that turned out. Sometimes dudes just aren't as good as they appear on paper.
