Azubuike looks like he could be a good buy in this market. I don't think it's quite JR Smith or Bust yet ... but it's getting close to that.
This is pretty much our final chance to stay a contender for the remainder of the Duncan era.
At least we now know we have to go hard after JR. Sign him to an offer tomorrow and start praying.

Step away from the shower rod. Bring back our own free agents, and if the Spurs are healthy I still like their chances.
we HAVE to sign one of these guys or we are ed. talk about when it rains it pours...first splitter and now this.
Azubuike is the safer bet in terms of availability, cost, length of contract but he doesn't have the potential to put the Spurs over the top. Will Pop go safe or roll the dice?
JR Smith ain't gonna do jack for this team.
that. Spurs would be lucky to get out of round one.
Maggette wasn't a realistic option at the start of the offseason. Spurs are basically in the same situation than before the offseason.
Things haven't gone worse, for the moment...
I like JR better than Maggs cause he does everything Maggs does but he shoots the 3 better
Smith's ability to catch and shoot would seamlessly transition into what the Spurs do offensively. Everything else about him and his game needs reworking but he has the potential to be the best shooter in the NBA.
Any team with a Duncan, Parker and Ginobili together is a serious contender. Acting like its JR Smith or SA will not contend for anything the rest of the Duncan era is bull
Azubuike is no better than Udoka.....This is a guy who averages 8 ppg......and plays on a fast team...the only player now who could make us better assuming he doesnt act out is Ricky Davis.....he can score is athletic and is only 28...can shoot the three...and get to the rim......next I would say Delfino but Im sure Tor will match a MLE offer....they have only one other sg on the team. Mason from washington is Ok but not athletic.....I say look to trade for a wing...maybe try to sign Krstic form Jersey...
Azubuike would be an okay consolation prize, Delfino would not.
JR is huge though.
I really don't think Denver could match and pay him $11M a year.
Make an offer to Ryan Gomes. Resign Barry and Thomas. Hope Hairston & Gist surpass expectations. Hope Hill is capable of 8+ ppg and defends like Gary Payton in his prime. Hope Mahinmi plays out of his mind. Grab a summer league surprise. Whew.
If that's the case, then the future chances for the Tim Duncan era are slim and none. (And, as Chick Hearn used to say, "Slim just left town.")This is pretty much our final chance to stay a contender for the remainder of the Duncan era.

But I don't think it is . . .
Smith probably hurts this team more than he helps but they probably have to risk it now.
We still have The Saviour:
Fixed.We still have The Saviour:
, I couldn't find that one quickly.
I agree with you that the nuggets would take it in the butt if they matched for Smith, but if you look at the nuggets roster they have no other sg on the roster so if they lose smith were do they go? So I think they will match.
, I don't know - they sign some scrubs for the minimum. They are already at $76M without matching Smith and the Luxury Tax Threshold will probably be $71-72M.
So, why would the Spurs need both Azubuike and Udoka?
Other than for the entertainment value of listening to commentators try to say their names?
