SF backup?

Brewer could do the latter, but instead of him being used as a havoc player off the bench Karl wanted him to play like Danny Green.

We don't need five Danny Greens. And we know Kawhi is going to play the bulk of the minutes at 3. So Brewer is incapable of making a corner 3? He can be streaky. Have you watched much of Denver this year? Don't pull up a stat sheet. In this price point, where it's a possibility only a couple million is left, how many options out there fulfill the obvious needs that will make a real impact? Perhaps Francisco Garcia. Well he made 5/6 million last year. Maybe Matt Barnes, but everyone knows that's not going to happen. Chris Copeland? That's realistic. Delfino seems redundant to me with Belli, plus his defense is for shit, but he'd fit in. But Maybe they go overseas. But aside from that not much else.

Unless all of sudden guys are taking big pay cuts, options aren't extensive. The player that comes in will have flaws. But there are other things that are important in player evaluation. Brewer can do so much more. And, he's an excellent change of pace guy. Havoc as you said. Great on the break, forces turnovers, a lot of intangibles, you know, a bench player. They could do a hell of a lot worse.

a guy i would like to see us watch in the summer league is christian watford. he is with the pacers. and can be signed by anyone. he would be a great 3/4.

Bonner, IMO

One wrinkle the Belinelli signing creates is that Manu spends more time at the 3.

Sure he'll get eaten alive by the Paul Georges of the world but hey, he's too old and slow guarding the combo guards prevalent in the league.

Be prepared to see a second unit lineup of CoJo/Belinelli/Manu/Diaw/Bonner tbh

aminu and not even close

And the last backup SF we had wasn't a great three point shooter either. Barely 30% the last two seasons if that if I'm not mistaken. Gee he sure fit in well on the court. He did a lot of other things well tbh

and of course if thomas shows something in the summer league he could end up being this guy.

Interesting. Guess we'll see how he does in SL.

joe ingles would be a good fit

Given the signing of Marco yesterday, doubtful they can still fit in AK47.

If our coaches could work Aminu into a 33% three point shooter, or if they can pair him with lineups with enough guys who stretch the floor, he could be of some use. Look at the magic they worked with Kawhi - sub-30% shooter his last year in college. You can teach shooting to a degree, but you can't teach size (6'9" with 7'4" wingspan) and rebounding.

Yeah Give chip a summer with Aminu and im sure they could get him shooting 3's in the high 30s to low 40s%

Would love Aminu but I imagine Spurs will be out-priced by other teams to get him.

My mistake. I though he had more length than that.

I've been saying this since after the finals. Chip could work wanders for him, who in tern could work wonders for us. He is a legit 4 who can play the 3 as well but needs to have an atleast an average jumper. Working with Chio on the corner 3's would give the Spurs more size at both positions they need it.

with aminu off the market a guy like devin ebanks who is very similar could be had now.

with most of the SF off the board we might be looking at a trade to get a quality backup here. One guy that I would love for us to try and trade for would be chris singleton from washington. They just drafted otto porter and glen rice Jr. so the 3 spot is taken by two young guys there. they also have trevor ariza on the roster still too. at the 4 spot they have jan vesley and seraphine. two young guys to build up. they also have trevor booker. both booker and vesely can step away and shoot too. They also re-signed martell webster and have cartier martin. so what I am saying is they are stacked at his position. and so he could be had.

we offer up nando de colo and matt bonner and 1 or 2 euro stash players. like hanga and viktor.

singleton is a big guy at 6'9" 230 lb guy. has good athleticism and decent handles. plays good defense and can stretch out to the 3 too.

Roster:

PG- parker, cojo, mills
SG- green, manu, beli
SF- leonard, singleton
PF- duncan, diaw, pendergraph
C- splitter, baynes

this gives us 13 players under contract. allowing us two spots to fill with young kids that can play in austin or sign another FA to add depth.

If you think Aminu can't shoot, I welcome you to enjoy an entirely new level of marksmanship inadequacy.

While Aminu shot a poor 21% (4-19) from 3 last year, he also shot a decent 47.5% (225-474) from the field.

Ebanks on the other hand shot 27% (6-22) from 3, but only 33% (24-73) overall.

You will also note the poor sample size with the single exception of Aminu's overall shooting.

I like Singleton, but I wouldn't give up Bonner for him. For all the shit Bonner recieves, (even from me sometimes), he serves a role that can't be replicated by alot of bigs in the league for his price. Keep Bonner, but give up a few of the redundant pieces and we have a winner!

having a big that shoots 3's is a bit overrated in my mind. both diaw and singleton will shoot it well enough to make up for bonner and his 5 minutes he should only be allowed to play.

Singleton is a 31% 3 point shooter for his career, 19% last season. He was a 33% shooter from the shorter 3 point distance in college.

lol Singleton
