kwame brown is athletic, can guard west, and brings in youth and he will be cheap. Bring in Diop, and Ronald flip murray, and you have what you need. You don't bust the bank and you can use the MLE on barnes.

plus, i think Brent Barry should be used by Pop as an offensive coordinator and a mentor for FLip Murray.
I wouuldn't say no to Etlton Brand and Devin Brown :hat
You know we're not going over the luxury tax. So how much money we have if we get rid of Finley, Horry and Stoudemire?
Matt Barnes
Azibuike
Maybe Jermaine O'neal
I think these have a realistic chance of working. Wasn't JO a strong target by the Spurs a couple of seasons ago? How's his health? I'm sure he'd want to get out of Indy, they're not going anywhere, he's not getting any younger.
Pipe dreamish:
Allen Iverson
Baron Davis (Although he is injury prone, but he's played two full seasons with out a major one)
Is antonio daniels still being used by the wiz, wouldnt mind him back .....
nah i was tired of seeing daniels at the atrium.....lol
After the beatdown he put on Manu this series the Spurs will most likely pursue Sasha.
It makes since. Spurs need a younger shooter. They like their foreign floppers. And Sasha plays better perimeter defense than anyone off the Spurs bench.
I hope we get Maggette and Najera.
One guy that could be gotten on the cheap, and might still make a decent bench player is Austin Croshere. A few years ago when Jermaine Oneal went down, he put up some good numbers for the Pacers. I haven't followed him much the last couple of years, but he was always a hustle guy, and seemed to have decent B-ball IQ. Not exactly part of a youth movement, though. Been there 10 years now.
We need Elton Brand to go insane, opt out of his contract, sign for two years at the MLE. I don't even think you can sign two years at the MLE, so the rest of the league has to look the other way. Then we resign him for max in 2010.
*smacks dust off hands* Perfect.
Kelenna Azubuike. :tu
Back up the Brinks truck for Kelenna Azuibuike. He can shoot the 3, rebound, score inside, he's young, athletic as hell and he's even a foreigner. He'd be perfect for the Spurs. We could teach him how to play defense. We need to make this guy our starting SG next year to take Finley's place. I've watched him all year and he has all the tools.
Think a worse version of Matt Bonner.Quote:

I agree that Biedrins is badass, but I think Andersen's days are over.Quote:

This is what I wish the spurs do:
Let all these guys go:
Brent Barry, Michael Finley, Robert Horry, DerMarr Johnson, Damon Stoudamire, Kurt Thomas, Jacque Vaughn; the only guy the spurs maybe should keep is Brent Barry because he is such an unreal shooter, but that should be a big maybe.
If the spurs do this, they will have alot of cap room, so this is what they need:
1) A starting wing that can score
2) A big athletic Center
3) A versatile PF that can step out on the perimeter and hit shots
4) A relatively cheap athletic wing that can come off the bench that can play good defense and hit open shots
5) A relatively cheap backup PG that plays good defense and hits open shots
This is who I wish the spurs sign:
1) SF Ron Artest
2) C Jermaine Oneal
3) PF Antawn Jamison
4) G/F Mickael Pietrus
5) PG Ronald "Flip" Murray
This is why and how I think the spurs could get these guys:
1) Ron Artest- The spurs would probably have to pay Artest the most to get him out of all the rest of these guys, but its worth it, Artest would take Finley's starting spot and push bowen to the SG spot, this will also allow ginobili to come off the bench, which he does the best at.
2) Jermaine Oneal- The spurs can get Oneal because Oneal is tired of Indiana, and his career is almost past his prime so he's looking to win a championship before it gets too late so he would probably take a pay cut to win a championship; Oneal would take the starting Center spot and giving the spurs the big athlethic center that can rebound, block shots, and score, which the spurs lacked this season, this will help Tim Duncan alot Oneal can guard the main low post scorer of other teams and help on the weakside too.
3) Antawn Jamison- The spurs can get Jamison because Jamison is getting old and is probably looking to win a championship before his career is over, and he knows he will never win a championship in Washington so like Oneal he will probably take a paycut to win a championship; Jamison would fill Robert Horry's role as the versatile PF that can shoot outside, but he's younger and way better.
4) Mickael Pietrus- The spurs can get Pietrus because Pietrus is burried on Golden state's depth chart and is looking for stable playing time and san antonio is where he can get some; Pietrus could fill the Athletic wing need that the spurs lack so much this year, he could take Brent Barry's role, he's not as good a shooter, but he can play way better defense, take it to the hole, make open 3's, and he's way younger, Pietrus will definetly be a big contributor now and even more in the future.
5) Ronald "Flip" Murray- The spurs can get him simply because he's cheap and Murray likes to play for contenders; Murray will fill the backup PG spot of vaughn, he's a good shooter, plays good defense, and is athletic and big as a PG, he's way better than vaughn.
If the spurs do what I wish they do, this is what their their depth chart will look like:
PG:
Tony Parker
Ronald "Flip" Murray
SG:
Bruce Bowen
Manu Ginobili
SF:
Ron Artest
Mickael Pietrus
Ime Udoka
PF:
Tim Duncan
Antawn Jamison
Matt Bonner
C:
Jermaine Oneal
Fabricio Oberto
Ian Mahimii
The Spurs Rotation would be like this:
Starters:
PG- Tony Parker
SG- Bruce Bowen
SF- Ron Artest
PF- Tim Duncan
C- Jermaine Oneal
Bench-
PG flip Murray
SG Manu Ginobili
G/F Mickael Pietrus
PF Antawn Jamison
C Fabricio Oberto
Imagine how unstoppable the spurs would be with this rotation.
If the spurs do what I wish they do the spurs will be the champs for the next 2-3 years, no one could come close to them, they would have the athleticism, versatility, offensive firepower, defensive intensity, youth/veteran, and bench, they will be a no contest for the championship. So I hope what I wish for comes true, it will be the best for the spurs and spurs fans everywhere.
You spent a lot of time on a crazy post.
The Spurs don't have $30 mil in cap room.
Out of the list of UFA or people with ETOs, I think the following could be had by the Spurs:
Jamison
Maggette
Artest
O'Neal
Duhon
Cassel
Evans
If the Spurs could pick up a big man (O'Neal, Jamison, Artest) and maybe a PG (Duhon), I think they'll be good for next year. Or, they can go out and try to get a SF and draft a PG or vice versa.
There's a lot of good free agents out there. I'm not familiar with the Spurs' financial situation though.
Uh, the Spurs don't have enough money to get O'Neal, Artest, AND Jamison, let alone even two of them. If we are VERY LUCKY, we might be able to pull O'Neal (he would've signed here had he known Isiah was going to be fired) or Artest (because he respects the Spurs and likes Timmy).Quote:

Don't forget about that Spanoulis guy or whatever the fuck his name was.
Top of the line FAs, other than Artest, are out of reach. Most second tier FAs like Maggette are out of reach, since they won't opt out of their contracts. Guys like Pietrus may possibly be available.
I would like to see Allen Iverson and Antwan Jamison in silver and black.
How much do you think a guy like Biedrins will cost?Quote:
