To make room for Dwight. This might be a realistic option for the Spurs. He's almost 31 so I'm sure he'd prefer to play with a contending ball club, and he'd be a reasonably cheap option. He and Manu are good friends and have a lot of experience playing together on Argentina's national team. He shoots the 3 well too.
Thoughts?
i like hi hes pretty clutch...
sign him on fuck it
Pass. He's a horrid playoff performer and we already have enough soft Euro players with Parker, Ginobili, Splitter, Diaw, and DeColo on the team.
Wouldn't mind him, can he be a solid contributor at SG?
I think with the Spurs it'd be a lesser role than he's used to. He's not quite the shooter a Kyle Korver or even Gary Neal is anymore, but he's good at other things too. I like him at the two spot over Neal. He can play a few minutes at backup at SF too. Maybe even make Ginobili better when they're on the floor at the same time. Any kind of spark would be nice.
Or if anything lower Ginobili's minutes and give those to Delfino.
He averaged 9 points on 36% shooting in the postseason this year.. Not sure how that is "horrid." I bet those #'s would go up in the Spurs system. He's a good 3-point shooter who can space the floor and gives us depth at SG/SF. Would be a solid pickup imo.Quote:

wouldn't mind him. He would replace Neal, but would play more SF position assuming Manu stays.
I wouldn't mind him as Leonard's backup
This is the type of move I expect the Spurs will make for wing depth. Not opposed at all.
I'd rather take Aaron Brooks.
The question is what's the price tag... he would be an improvement over Neal, no doubt.
No thanks. spurfan says we are getting Tyreke Evans.
I like Delfino. Seems like a guy who would do well on the Spurs.
Maybe being with his buddy can spark Ginobili's play next season.
I would be happy to take Houston players get Delfino and then get Robinson from them man that would be a huge upgrade over Neal and Blair.
Agreed. That'd be a great offseason tbh. Although I'd still prefer Tyreke Evans.Quote:

Aaron brooks is a solid backup pg.
He would be a better option than both.Quote:

All very similar players production wise. They all averaged 11 PPG last season. All three shoot the 3 well, although Korver shoots it the best and Dunleavy is close behind. Delfino doesn't shoot it quite as well as those two. Dunleavy is strictly a SF, while Delfino and Korver are a little more versatile and can play both SG and SF. None are particularly great at D. It's just preference really. They're all around the same age.Quote:

We do need to get somebody that can play both SF and SG at a solid level. And better Defense than Neal would be nice as well...Quote:

Not sure what good a bench shooter is if we have nobody to get him open shots. He'd be good as a 3rd string sg/sf for us but some team will be able to give him solid backup minutes that he deserves.
He'd be an upgrade over Neal. He'd take over Neal's position as a back-up SG/SF. And pray that Nando and Cory continue to develop into solid backup PG's.Quote:

No we need to sign someone that can create for the bench now that Manu can't. Manu can be the better version of Neal for the team now. We need to add an upgrade that is better than that(like Tyreke). Adding Delfino doesn't do much for the Spurs. The only reason to get him is for the third string.Quote:

I'm not going to go after a Free Agent who just had a fractured foot and is 30.. Sorry, sure he fits the old and busted Spurs motif but lets not go that route.
So Korver?Quote:

Better shooter but still doesn't create his own shot.. he's more of a spot up shooter and we have that in spades. We need someone to create.Quote:

Jarret Jack is gonna be 30 by the time next season starts... suddenly age isnt a concern there
Stop living in la la land. There are no better options. So deal with it. This isn't a utopia for God's sake. So many on this forum can't understand this!!!Quote:

If you haven't figured out why they cut him...you haven't been listening.Quote:

Oh I know why and why other teams have casted him off.. The guy has 1 trick.. and we have that.Quote:

Adding him to the Spurs would be nothing, even Neal is better, there is no need to add broken pieces to this team, we could add some big shot, but if not we are fine
I'd rather have Aaron Brooks, he'd be a great backup to Tony Parker. He can create his own shot, plays well with the pick & roll, has good court vision, and is ridiculously quick, oh and he's freakin clutch too! The only problem with Brooks is his attitude, and his inconsistency. Brooks always has seemed to play up or down to his opponents' level, which means you'll get some crappy games from crappy opponents, and some amazing games from very tough opponents. I watched his entire college career, I really think he could be a good fit in the Spurs.
If Delfino was anything like Manu was at 31 then he would be worth a shot, but then again he probably wouldn't be on the market. I think the Spurs exposed Jack in the second round this year. Unless they play for minimums I'd pass on both.Quote:

He knows the system, he'll be cheap, and I'm guessing, happy to back up Kawhi for 10 minutes a game.
If you want to go after some big fish, you'll need some bargains to fill out your roster.
if only manu and him could dbz fuse.
This... Not too many people watch film on Delfino. He's a spotty shooter and he's slow.Quote:

Someone needs to save him from himself and play him tactically and NOT running the offense. He struggled against everyone, not just the cHeat.
C -Tiago Splitter, Baynes
PF - Duncan, Diaw, Bonner
SF - Leonard,
SG - Green, Manu, Neal
PG - Parker, Joseph, DeColo, Mills
I don't expect Blair or McGrady to return. Joseph, DeColo and Mills are not the answer at backup PG. 2 of those guys need to be reassigned to Toros, traded or waived.
yep, he's definitely an option
Duncan's minutes need to be cut down this season. Even more so than last. We need another big to relieve him. That's why I think we should be doing whatever we can to trade for Thomas Robinson.
There is actually a Thomas Robinson thread....Quote:

For some reason, I hadn't really thought of him as an option, despite the fact that I knew the Rockets would inevitably waive him and the fact that it all adds up, for all the obvious reasons.
Thinking about it, they'd probably actually prefer him to Casspi (and they definitely should). Better shooter and can actually pass/dribble somewhat. Also, since they're more than likely going to go with a backup PG who's shown nothing in the way of scoring or play making, it would make sense to have someone who can provide an modicum of those things at backup SF.
Defensively, he's not the ideal secondary defender to throw at the likes of James and Durant. But players who are and are high percentage 3-point shooters are hard to find, especially for the room exception, which is the most they'll probably be willing to spend on the backup SF and what he'll probably be able to command. Besides, Diaw has shown he can do a passable job on the former and Green, in theory, might be able to on the latter.

Bresnahan: Lakers interested in Carlos Delfino, small forward w/ range. They had, um, not a lot of range last season. Will he sign for mini mid-level? Twitter @Mike_Bresnahan
I like him. Plays fierce come clutch times, good decision making. I would see him as an upgrade over green rather than neal.
Wouldn't mind him taking over Manu's spot. Manu would have to retire of course. Can't have both of them on the court. J/K.This.Quote:

I don't know if there's a better realistic option for the Spurs as a backup wing outthere.
