Biyombo, Bamba are two that come to mind to take a look at maybe.
With Zach Collins running with the Bulls now, Bassey nearly hurting his knee again yesterday, Spurs need a functional center to fill out there roster. I don’t think the Spurs would spend the capital needed for known name like Poeltl, Myles Turner, Kessler types. Who is a viable candidate for trade or waiver pickup for the Spurs right now? G-League pick up Special?

I like Tillman.
He's getting DNPs in Boston, I'm sure they want to get some more SRPs, they have only 4 between now and 20131.
Biyombo isn't even on a team this season and Bamba has been getting passed around more than a cheap hooker. The point is to get someone better than Collins or Bassey, not the same or worse
was hoping we would get chris boucher
Tillman is a bit offensively challenged but he does play defense which is what we need. I'd give Boston a 2nd rounder and say we're done for this trading season. Don't we have like 4 of them next year or are we saving them to fleece some other poor schmuck team.
Playoff game against AD:
He's lightyears ahead of Bassey.
Just turned 26 and is on $2.5M next season. I'd easily give up 2 SRPs and Mamu's expiring.
Well thread was asking about centers who were out there on free agency. Not much obviously, but Biyombo definitely was doing some work last year when he got minutes. And yeah, I just threw Bamba out there but not really interested in him either.

Tillman has been terrible on offense. He is the among the worst offensive players in the league and he is also a tad undersized.
Here are a list of guys the Spurs might target, IMO -
1. Kevon Looney, Possible if the Warriors are trying to get a star and Looney can be giveaway to a third team.
2. Guerschon Yabuschele, the Sixers save up on some tax if they trade Yabuschele away. But that also depends upon if they want to make the playoffs, in which case, they will keep him.
3. Jock Landale, A like or like replacement for Collins, except he brings a bit more offensive energy.
4. Kevin Love, plays Center these days and has surprisingly decent D-EPM numbers. Another possible giveaway in a Butler trade perhaps.
5. Paul Reed, Decent backup. Erratic, but plays with hustle and energy. Don't think Pistons will trade him though.
6. Nikola Vucevic, Ideal backup for Wemby, methinks. No defense but very good as a stretch 5. Too expensive though.
7. Day'Ron Sharpe, If the Spurs aren't getting Cam Johnson, he can be a nice second option to pry out of Brooklyn
8. Larry Nance Jr, High hustle, useful big. Good as a backup
9. TimeLord, Terrific and mobile defender, good finisher, but always injured.
10. Jakob Poeltl, if the Raptors want to blow it up and get a good set of SRPs from the Spurs. Improbable though.
Among these I would think Looney or Poeltl or Vucevic would be great gets with Looney being the most likely of the three. In the next tier and among the possible buys, I will love to get Nance or TimeLord or Sharpe. I think the highest possibility-get would be Day'ron Sharpe.
Btw, Valanciunas has been on defense this year. Among the worst defenders in the league according to EPM. Avoidable IMO.
I got my eyes on
Day'Ron Sharpe and Mason Plumlee. You know Pop thinks Plumlee is better than Bam Adebayo. Keep in mind we'll most likely bring someone in who earns 5 million or less, unless we trade away CP3.
Tillman would be a nice addition, he basically doesn't play in Boston, so he should be available.
RASHO NESTEROVIC!
Yeah, I wouldn't mind Reed, Jock, or Lance for the price tag. Wildcard cause he's just wild but Stewart from Det wouldn't be a bad option either if he could learn how to flip the crazy switch off lol.
jonas-valanciunas is a 10 mil per year player and would provide a lot of what we don't have.
Daniel Theis
theis would be cool hes not a punk like collins
Thoughts on Leonard Miller? 6’10 with athleticism and shoots jumpers. Drafted by the Spurs in the 2nd round in 2023 then shipped out to Minnesota. Picked to play in the NBA rising stars game as a G-Leaguer.
Man can you imagine if we had Poeltle back?
Not gonna happen but I would love Adams on this team. Always been one of my favorite players in the league.
numbers are harder to work out now. tre + picks for jonas would have been the trade. we dont have a clean way to match his salary now, unless we expand the deal and make it jones + kispert or somethin
drummond, if sixers are selling. his salary is only 5 mil, and he has a 5 mil player option next season as well

Always have liked Andre and have thought he should be the guy Bassey should model his game after. I thought I've heard that there is no way he'd ever come here though, I don't know what's behind that. I know he likes to on us every time we play, thank god he's in the east.
It seems the choices are the less then 3million dollar guys, the around 5 millionish guys or the 10 million and above guys which we would have to attach some draft capital and a decent player. A number of players mentioned would definitely fit, even bumping Bassey back to 3rd string, but we'll see by Thursday. Keep the string going BWright.
If we go cheap - Tillman or Leonard Miller. I don't think Reed can be traded this season.
if we go expensive anyone for Valanciunas or Brandon Clarke PF/small ball center (wishfull thinking)
Average - D. Theiss
Leonard Miller isn't a center. I know we are all Spurs fans, so we have a weird obsession with trying to force guys into being things they are not... but trying to force a wing into being a C just because he's tall doesn't seem like a winning proposition.
Edit: Leonard Miller also isn't a viable NBA player at this point, so I'm not sure how a G-League SF forced to play C is going to push Bassey down the depth chart
Trading Tre Jones probably cost us a backup unless we can somehow get involved in a bigger trade where Keldon or Vaseline are involved. After the Fox trade I don’t think we actually understand how much those two are valued within the org.
Maybe, maybe there is a salary dump or buy out for CP so he can ring chase but I genuinely believe he is firmly committed to being here and probably knows he will potentially get another 5-10mm deal next summer depending on how the chips fall if/when we strike out in free agency.
I am not obsessed enough to know the g-leaguers outside our own team. Just saw he was tall and could shoot jumpers. Thanks for your feedback, I do appreciate your knowledge on the subjectLeonard Miller isn't a center.
