If we're raping and pillaging the next summer, I'd rather go after Mo Almond to fill either the Udoka or Vaughn roster spot next summer. He's also unrestricted.
Do we really need another big that basically hangs out exclusively at the 3-pt line? The Spurs would be better served with a big that can rebound, block shots, defend the paint, and score around the basket and from 10-15 ft out.

Man if we go after another big that's not atheletic or interior oriented. I agree whole-heartedly
2009
Sheeed!
jackie butler
Is that your fantasy team for this year??
Keep dreaming
get the Sheed!
yes, 2010 plan etc.
sorry, but I don't buy this.
a team like the Spurs, which isn't an attractive FA destination, needs to work anticyclic to the market.
in other words, if they go out in 2010 and compete with half of the league (including most of the big markets teams) for some premium FAs, they will fail big time and risk to buy from the pool of the left average FAs, who will be still overpriced because of the available money.
the Spurs chance is to buy low by either acquiring a player with a contract that runs beyond 2010 at deadline, or by signing a player to the full MLE in 2009. (which of course needs to be for more than 1 year).
2009 might be the chance to land someone like Odom, Sheed, Varejao for the MLE.
(maybe also a restricted FA like Childress - I bet he comes back - or Lee)
assuming that Manu will be resigned (for 9M per?) and also Mason (5M per?), there won't be the money for a max offer left in 2010 (the few max players who are worth the money will be gone anyhow), but maybe still 7-8 millions, (depending what happens with Tiago, Hairston, Gist) enough to try to get a quality player. (Mike Miller?, Haslem?, Outlaw?)
but the IMO best strategy would be to trade for a big with a long term contract at this deadline (Przybilla, Foster, Collison) AND sign 2009 a MLE player. this keeps the 2009 and 2010 window open and gives the Spurs a quality team till 2012.
Tell it like it is............
It's pretty simple really. Three-step plan:
1. Convince Boozer to sign for the mid-level, and David Lee for the bi-annual.
2. Measure everyone for rings.
3. Tell Tattoo to go look for the plane.

brandon bass or eddie house.
Tatoo is dead.
I was also going to mention Memo, but as someone pointed out we do not need another big to hang around the 3 point line.
What do you guys think about Paul Millsap? (he is restricted though)
I don't think the list of potential Spurs over the next two years should just be confined to free agents. I do think there will be some "bargain" deals for teams looking to start fresh in 2010 by dumping current contracts and going after big fish.
A few of the "trade dumps" I could see are Boris Diaw, Andres Nocioni, and Gerald Wallace...though I'm sure more will become available between now and then.
"Hey Man"
sheed is cool. if anything, acquiring him prevents another team from having a good defender for duncan. i don't really question his work ethic or desire to win because he for sure will work hard under popovich and next to duncan. a chance to legitimately win another championship should fire him up. i also think he will look for a lower contract on a contending team. he's an aging center and this contract will probably be his last. i should also add he probably will also be looking for a chance to challenge the lakers once again. blazers got swept by the lakers twice and the pistons triumphed over the lakers in 04. one last opportunity to even the score.
Hes the most logical fit next to Timmy i can see that has everything Pop wants in a Big.
the only things that work against him are his age and how much money he wants next year.
But like i said before, i expect the Spurs to pursue him this summer.
wow
hmm not much here if they're still sticking with the 2010 plan but yeah sheed would be a decent pick up
Boozer?
Are you kidding me, he stays injured and after this surgery may not evven be the same. he had such trouble against the size of the Lakers last season without Bynum what do you think he is going to do here. Yes, I think next to Tim will help but let's allow this guy to heal and see how he performs, then we'll see but ...
Rasheed Wallace = le.
Leon Powe off the bench would be nice, real nice.
what do you guys think of zaza pachulia? man i still cant forgot last year when they played the celtics and he didnt back down to garnett haha, that was pretty sweet
