I'll put Ryan Gomes, from the Celtics, name out there
Born: Sep 1, 1982
Height: 6-7 / 2,01
Weight: 250 lbs. / 113,4 kg.
College : Providence
Years Pro: 1
In primarily a reserve role so far this season:
2006-07 Statistics
PPG 11.2 RPG 6.60 APG 2.4
An inch shorter than your minimum, but he already has one triple double this season--don't know about last season
He can score: I know he set a new scoring record for Providence and maybe for the Conference they're
Not sure if his defense is up to Spurs standards, but he is willing to go for rebounds
Jumaine Jones is sitting on the end of the Suns' pine doing nothing, paid minimum.
He's 6'8", 220, 27yo, averages about 7.5boards/40 mins when playing 25mins+, and he can shoot the ball.
Why isn't he on our team again?
I don't see how Spurs can get him without trading Manu or Tony.Quote:

Why do they need someone else? Pop is to stupid to get away from his 62 win bread and butter and 2nd round loss lineups.
Popovich would've turn Josh Howard into a European player.
Bosh, Bargnani, and Garbajosa play PF, but spend alot of time out on the perimeter. Kris Humphries plays like 5 minutes a game, and Rasho isn't blowing anyone back with his play either.Quote:

Oh and draft picks...the Spurs have those too.

Assists count....
Additionally....Barry has never sucked as bad as Finley has this season, as a Spur.
Not for one second in his Spurs career has anyone ever dared Barry to shoot...ever.
While OTOH...I would swear Phil was calling timeouts in the game the other night for no other reason than to give Pop the opportunity to draw up plays for Finley....
Start noticing the difference....what's next? Not being able to tell the difference between Darko Millicic and Adriens Biedrin? :smokin
Nocioni is the best match for the Spurs, he hustles, gets rebounds, is tough, all characteristics that sort of go hand in hand with Pop. And, just like Bowen, he can knock down threes.
Um...Nocioni is also a starter for the Bulls...exactly how do you plan on us getting him?
And if we are naming unattainable players just for the hell of it...I'd rather have LeBron than Nocioni.

Can we trade rights to scola, and a first round pick to Indiana for Granger?
I really like the kid and he can play shooting guard as well.
Think Indiana might be interested in scola cause their frontline is paperthin. they have Baston starting in place of o'neal. They might be willing to let granger go if Marshall works out for them cause they were pretty high on him to let James White go.
well, obviously we are not getting anyone this year so..let's have hope PEOPLE
Maybe you're right (even if Bosh is a talented low post scorer) but if they wantQuote:

That's why he is on my available list. Another solution is to trade Scola to a third team for a draft pick that will be used to get graham.Quote:

Gerald Wallace is in the sheed situation, he is expiring and likely won't re-sign with Charlotte because they sucks and because they have Morisson at SF.
I've thought at him few days ago but I wonder if he is good enough defender to be a good fit for SA.Quote:

Of those players, only one (Outlaw) is attainable with the trade pieces we have.Quote:

The only "hope" is for Belkin to win the Ownership battle in Atlanta, fire Billy Knight and make wholesale changes to the organization (i.e. getting rid of one of their three small forwards).

just some comments
Khryapa: i liked him a lot when he played Euroleague with CSKA and back then i always thought he could be Spurs material.
he is not a talent who stands out, but he has some qualities that would match the Spurs needs, qualities few other teams will be able to discover and to use (that's IMO why he is still far underrated).
and some reports said that he was on the Spurs wish list in the draft 2004, but he was picked before.
K. would help in different areas. defending players like Dirk and Odom
and he would help to increase the rebounding production considering that none of the current Spurs SF options is even average in this regard.
as mentioned, he is unhappy in Chicago, does not have a future there (behind Deng, Noc, TT, who all play like Khryapa the 3 and 4)
right now should be the best moment to get him for a bargain.
the price could be: 1st rounder (+2nd rounder if necessary or Sanikidze rights) + Vaughn (to meet the salary)
Butler (Bulls have more use for him and i don't agree that he was a steal of the free agency) for Khryapa + Griffin.
right now Griffin would also be somehow usefull for some minutes. (much more than E Williams)
i agree that Scola's rights straight for K. is to much (even if i don't think the value of the rights are as high as many fans think.), but maybe there is no need to throw them in. (naive as i am, i still belive Scola could once be a Spur, as the successor of Horry)
the name some more players who could be on a trade option list:
James Jones. Spurs thought of offering him a contract 2005 (before Finley was put on the market). he has the same problem in Phoenix like Khryapa has in Chicago. tons of other (more talented) SFs on the roster. he would not be a force on defense (but he is better on D as most give him credit for), but he is a decent rebounder, has a nice jump shot and might work well in a small line up playing the 4. (better than Bonner for example)
James Posey
he isn't happy any more in Miami and Heat are still desperate for a PG, offer them Beno + Scola rights + E.Williams
Gerald Wallace
i guess Bobcats know that they can't resign him for the price they want to pay (they will save the money for resigning Okafor, Felton and Morrison) and he has lost many of his offensive plays to Morrison anyhow, so Bobcats might be interested to trade him.
(for Beno + Scola rights + Williams + Picks)
I would love to see Gerald Wallace comming to the Spurs, but I doubt it is gonna happen. I don't think we have anything the Bobcats want...
Eric WilliamsQuote:
