I don't think they will be able pay Javtokas, Scola and JJones for 7M total. But it's not impossible.
C: Javtokas/Rasho
PF: Duncan/Scola/Horry/Oberto
SF: Bowen/Finley/Jumaine Jones
SG: Manu/JR Smith
PG: Parker/Beno
Out: Nazr, Barry, Van Exel
In: Javtokas, Scola, Jumaine Jones, JR Smith
this seems possible and quite reasonable.

I don't think Scola is coming. He very well might be, but for some reason I don't think he is -- especially if Javtokas is coming.
Pop stressed that getting a backup PG was a priority, so that's got to be somewhere in the mix.
This is one of those offseasons that I have no clue what's going to happen. As long as they keep Manu, Tim, Tony, Bruce and Finley, I don't really care what happens to the rest of them though.
Scola's rights probably have a very high value right now.

I donīt think that we need a backup PG
If TP isnīt playing good we can Run the Offense with Beno, Manu, Barry or Finley, but with Duncan with his Foot Troubles, we need a player who can play minutes inside the paint
A Good Pf or a Center with Offense, we have a greatest PF of the Last 10 years, but he canīt play 40 minutes, so we need a player who can play as a PF for 10 minutes and some minutes as Center or SF, with Rebounds and some defense
How does that work out??
waly.mg - I think the decision at backup PG may rest in defending opposing 1s and press-breaking abilities. Beno does a real fine job entering the offense when he doesn't have a strong on-ball defender in front of him. Defensively, the Spurs cannot defend quick 1s with wing players, with maybe Bruce as the exception.
Linton Johnson? What has he ever done to merit significant minutes or even be mentioned in the same breath with TP, Manu or Bruce Bowen?
Nesterovic/Javtokas/Oberto/Marks
Duncan/Horry/Scola
Bowen/JR Smith
Ginobili/Finley/Senders
Parker/Claxton/Beno
Out:Nick Van Exel, Barry,Nazr
Linton???? What the ? How did he show up on our starting lineup? Al Harrington? I seriously doubt. A lot of teams want him and will throw more money at him than the Spurs.
The three most likely moves have been widely acknowledged in this thread:
A) Javtokas coming over.
B) Scola coming over.
C) JR Smith trade for Brent Barry revisited.
I'm beginning to see Scola as NOT a Spur next year, but his rights being traded elsewhere and playing elsewhere in the NBA in 2006-2007.
We're not hearing anything about Scola right now. That doesn't mean much, but I'm thinking the Front Office is looking into a wide array of trades centering around draft day.
Javtokas seems a done deal. I'm not sure about the JR Smith trade happening.
Rasho
Duncan
Bowen
Manu
Parker
Bench:
+Speedy
+Jared Jeffries
+Finley
+Javkotas
+JR Smith
+Horry
I can dream, can't I.
I feel like we're going to do a sign an trade with Nazr. I have the feeling Rasho stays, just b/c we know what we're going to get from him (not much but Javotkas and Scola are question marks). I am eager to see who we might be able to get for him.
I believe Javotkas is a done deal. BTW, how do you pronounce his name. I don't want to brag to non-spur fans like I did the offseason before Manu came and I was telling them all wait til you guys see Gino-billy. Scola scares me. We thought we were going to get more from Oberto and we didn't, so I think Scola may have more question marks now. I'd love to be able to trade his rights in the draft and get like a J.J. Re .
The guy I want to see us get this offseason is Speedy Claxton. We haven't had a serviceable backup since he left us. I am not sure the whole Barry for J.R. Smith thing is going to happen and I don't know how I feel about it, but I trust Pop/RC. I also hope I don't have to see Horry on our roster next year, almost as mad at him as I was at Nick.
I think are priorities are as followed:
1) Sign Javotkas or Scola.
2) Sign and trade Nazr for a legit starting 3. I think this is the year Bowen comes off the bench.
3) Back-up PG
Bottom line is we will have Parker, Ginobili, Finley, Bowen, and Duncan on our squad next year.
SR is reporting Spurs are interested in the big guy out of...damn, same one as that Pitsnogol kid.
Anyways, you think Spurs consider trading the rights to Scola for that pick?
I hear it pronounced as YAV-ta-cuss. We were discussing it in another thread, but I'm not sure how it's supposed to be pronounced.
Are you talking about Aaron Gray?
There's a thread about it here.
http://spurstalk.com/forums/showthre...ght=aaron+gray
I've heard the NBAtv telecasts call him Yav'-ta-cuss, as Kori mentioned. However, Sam Presti, called him Yav-toke'-us, when he was on SportsSunday a couple of weekends ago and some of the vids with sound sounded sort of like Yav-toke-us.
Maybe he'll be interviewed sometime soon and someone can get him to pronounce it properly.
Yav-toke'-us - That's how I used to think it was pronounced until I started hearing it in broadcasts. Presti should know thoughso I'd guess he's right.
Yes, and given that it's not clear if he would address any Spur needs, I say get one in the hand now for his rights.
How's that saying go...
A bird in hand is better than a finger in the bush?
TP/Udrih/Dixon
Manu/FinDog
BB/Jum.Jones
TD/Scola/Cabarkapa
Rasho/Horry/Oberto
what did we get for Barry?
Uhh, no.
