Finley will be back.
I'd say Barnes or Giricek, at this point.
I would not mind this. Giricek my 1st choice
I wouldnt give alot for Re because we would most likely not keep him after 2010 season. It was rumored that Orlando is willing to dump him for a couple second round picks. I have also heard they would take cash for his rights.
Thier GM has said he wouldnt trade him, then tried to give him away on draft night, now its up in the air. The Pacers were interested but Orl wanted Idague........Dont know how you spell his name but the PF for Indy. Bird shot that deal down. Orlando needs help up front so lets pond bonner off on them!!
of the guys mentioned, the only ones I really like are Barnes and Nachbar.
Davis is a good player, but his ego will want more money and more years.
Giricek would be decent, but we could do better.
Evans is undersized, and we need someone that's taller than 6-5 on the wing.(Udoka&Mason)
Dixon is undersized. See above ^^^
Snyder's jumpshot looks absolutely horrible.
Jacobsen has the talent, but it would be a reach to get him, and depend on him to contribute right away.
NO to Re . The dude is undersized. I like his shooting ability, but he will get killed when he's defending.
I like Barnes. He could be available for cheap after the season he had this past year.
Nachbar had somewhat of a breakout season in NJ. I'm surprised we haven't heard about many teams wanting him. Maybe he's asking for too much, so hopefully he will fall out of favor with most teams and he could sign for cheap.
Another guy I like is Tony Allen, if he could stay healthy. When healthy, this guy is full of energy, and he is a very solid defender. We could use that.
im really high on evans. he looked great in orlando
Pop has already said Finely will be back.
I disagree with about 90% of people on here. I like Finely still.
Mason is a great shooter. I would like to see him at point and Hill at SG.
Even if he isn't a great shooter I like Barnes as 5th swingman.
However, I don't think at all that Spurs and Pop are looking to add a player like that. They will simply re-sign Finley.
Then you, sir, are definitely in the minority.
Mason is most certainly a SG.
Hill is too small to play the SG position in this league.
Finley is simply done and shouldn't be invited back.
roster is set and who is anyone to say the spurs need more. Spurs FO has 4 rings, they know what they're doing.
The roster is not set and the FO is likely looking for a shooter.
they are looking for a penetrator/defender, but they don't need anything.
They would match whatever we offer him, as stated by MB in the first page.
I would much like to see Finley back just to have some more veteran presence for the rookie(s). We forget that Finley is clutch when we need him the most, but of course he's no Robert Horry.
I've been waiting for this topic to come up. Barry shot 42% on threes last season, which is really good (he has had percentages up to 45%), so it is important that we get someone that has a consistent shot. Roger Mason has only had one year of shooting the three ball at a decent clip so I think it is important to have an insurance policy, otherwise, every play the Spurs draw for a 3 point shot will go to Manu and that will get predictable.
Same here. I like Barnes for exactly the same reasons. I would presume he would be an even cheaper option than he would've been this time last year.
After him, I like Mo Evans. I'm not crazy about his height, but he did start numerous games at SG for Orlando and gave them a nice punch. I don't know what kind of defender he is. Obviously, the Magic felt they needed a better option because they elected to let him walk.
from the un RFA this is my choice:
1) Maurice Evans - i think it's un realistic, he is too expensive
2) Finley - i dont know why you are so hard on Finley, he was solid last year, we won some games thanks to him including game 7 against the Hornets
3) the other i dont like

If somehow he could clean up his act I would like to see Devin Brown
For those still asking the question, about the harsh criticism of Finley, when you pull back the curtain on him - he is what he's been the past 4-5 seasons - a one-trick pony. If he's not consistently hitting his outside shot, and tends to be very inconsistent, he doesn't bring much else to the table. No defense, no rebounding, doesn't or cannot drive to the cup, can't create his own shot or shots for others. The only difference is that he's now in his middle 30's. He is what he is.
In my mind, Finley woeful inconsistency from game to game contributed greatly to these scoring droughts.
Pop may very well elect to bring him back as an option, but I really hope he looks elsewhere first. Hopefully the FO will consider a couple of the options listed by MB.
