Spurs Bigs - who to target

[Biggems]

Too bad the off season is over.

Yeah I know it is still early. I was just hoping for a big in the draft. Now, it is time for FA and trades.

[kobyz]

Wanted Broome, too bad FO don't believe in second round jems and selling away picks

[bigfan]

Maybe we can finally sign Javtokas!

[Ice009]

Wow, the guy's still got it!

[mystargtr34]

Wow, the guy's still got it!

Yep very sexy. And his girl is not bad either.

[mystargtr34]

So he’s married to Mic e Beadle

[mudyez]

The absolute high end option I could see, is Bitadze. The Magic don't have much financial flexibility, are out a lot of picks and have depth at C with Carter Jr., Wagner and Isaac (granted, they're all flight risks durability wise and the latter isn't a true C, but they've increasingly played him at it in recent seasons).

Branham or Wesley plus a couple of 2nds could entice them.

I wonder if Isaac might be an option too...and is he even sane? Was he just vaxination hesitant or is he a pure flat earth trumper?

[The Truth #6]

I'm not saying keep Biyombo. I'm saying don't let him go unless we get someone better. Shouldn't be hard to do, but not sure what their priorities are.

What player build do you think they need for backup 5?

The team seemed to click and play decent with biyombo.So maybe his type but younger and bigger.Not sure
who in free agency resembles him.

His political and religious beliefs are pretty opposite of the bell curve from pop but in line with Holt. I don’t think they would keep him away and I’ve read that he will probably be available, but I don’t think he’s a good fit. He put on weight to move to the 5 last year and it slowed him down. His numbers were down across the board and what made him so effective before (his speed and reaction time) was diminished. He’ll probably cut weight to go back to the 4 which doesn’t make him an ideal candidate for a backup center.

I’m kinda intrigued by Isaiah Jackson as a reclamation project (ruptured Achilles at the start of last season) however I assume the spurs would rather just continue rolling with Bassey as a project. Mason Plumlee, Kevin Looney, Larry Nance seem realistic

Im afraid Horford stays with the C’s, Lopez goes ring chasing, Aldama/Kortnet gets a bag from somewhere.

trade market makes some sense I’m just not too sure who will be available

If this team sticks with bassey.Then we arent trying to win or improve.

I agree, if the Porzingis rumor were true about the spurs having interest then they must be searching the trade market for a big tbh.

[paperboy77]

Go get Wendel Carter, Goga Bitadze, Vucevik, Nurcic, even Isaac. However,... we are just stupid to throw that #38 pick so soon. I think Spurs media should question that move and mention some good centers were still on the board. At least mention that they appear to need a center, yet they punted the opportunity. Of course, the SA media are a bunch of fanboys and wouldn't dare.

Free agency doesn't start for four days.

-------------------------------

Thanks good Sir

I am worried, but perhaps not warranted, after all our Spurs FO is known for quality management......

Hope so

[cutewizard]

I was wondering if the Spurs could also update our ancient-looking official Spurs website

There are a lot of designs and website designers out there, they could do an excellent job

What kind of website is that, have they not noticed??

And perhaps they could also install a fan response/chat/feedback section within it...?

Just random thoughts

[Dverde]

Thoughts on Ayton nowadays? He’s expiring and the Blazers have many Centers. I remember him being a defensive presence with some decent offensive. Monty was very critical about his drive to be great, but we just need him to fill a void of a big man to hold down the defense when Wemby sit and hold his own on offense.

Don Harris said they were leading the sweepstakes the day before until the Hawks came with a better offer.

You want to trade for a guy who's more concerned about playing video games all night than basketball?

[Guru of Nothing]

Ayton seems like a very unlikely Spur, if only because he's assuredly gone after one season. In this upcoming hybrid season (of developing a lot of youth while trying to win now) I'd much rather go after someone who could potentially be part of the roster for years to come.

[Bruno]

Olynyk could be good target if Spurs can't get Lopez or Capela in FA.

Something like Branham + Wesley + one or 2 second round pick should be way enough to get him from Wizards.

[LeBowen]

If we're considering slow veterans, Vucevic is by far the best option.
Yes, he's bad defensively, but he'd be our third best player on offense and would easily dominate every backup big enough to make a positive impact despite his defense.
Expiring contract, we can easily get him for Keldon and maybe Wesley if Bulls want him.

I still think we should go for someone who would enable us to play at a high pace even when Wemby sits, but if we're looking at veterans, he's the best option.

[Chinook]

I said priority 1 big is Aldama.

And I'm saying, no, they need a center. They have plenty of PFs. Finding a center that doesn't crater the defense when Victor goes to the bench is really the only true priority right now. That's where the money should go. Then they can also sign an "inexpensive, seasoned big" to be the third-stringer so they're not back in this position when some guy can't go.

Aldama would maybe be a luxury, but center is the position where they're hurting and have been hurting for a few years now. Guys like Sochan and Barnes are going to play, and they'll play PF when they do. Johnson and Bryant will likely to minutes there too. The team likely is not going to play big like so fans want. The teams' strength is their guards right now, and they will play lineups where Castle and Vassell play SF. "Upgrading" to Aldama should not be the priority.

[Mugen]

BroLo should be gettable especially with the Mitch connection tbh.
