I feel like the Wizards might be a suitable trade partner for us..they might want to tweak their team, since their big 3 hasn't worked out for them..Caron Butler expires a year later than Manu, Brendan Haywood and Andray Blatche would be nice additions as well..I feel like something can work out there..
1. Ron Artest
2. Rasheed Wallace
3. Trevor Ariza
Thats my wish list in that order.....
Gooden has looked pretty good so far, he should definitely be in the considerations. we'll see how the playoffs look
Also keep in mind that Bynum just inked a new extension, which, if I'm correct, kicks in next year.
Artest is way too much of a head case. Even this year, when he's been on his best behavior, you can tell he's a guy you can't trust in crunch time. He's out there on his own, doing his own thing, taking too many jump shots, etc.
I love his skills but he takes bad shots and as a result shoots a low percentage.
its on there. check it.
Yeah, I see it now. Thanks for posting.
The other thing working against the Spurs, or any other team that has their sights set on Ariza, is he's a California dude. I remember reading a comment from him on how much he enjoys being back in Cali.
Yeah, unless Jerry Buss runs over Ariza's dog or something, I think he'll want to stay in LA and they want him back.
Trevor Ariza
Is AI free agent this summer? Don't think he fits with us though.
Sign Gooden. No money left for anybody else. Re-explore trade for Vince Carter.
I can't think of anyone LESS suitable for Spurs Basketball than Iverson.
jesus kid, you should really study the basic rules of the CBA before posting such nonsense.
Spurs will only have the MLE, this doesn't put them into position to "sign a few" of your list.
Gordon is out of reach, so is Boozer, so are most of the other guys there. and most need to opt out in the first place, guys like Okur and Korver are unlikely to do this in this FA unfriendly summer.
the more realistic FA options are Sheed or Chris Wilcox. or Gooden, if he works well in the PO. maybe they go for Ariza, he developed something that looks somehow like a shot, but I'm pretty sure the Lakers will offer him also MLE money. and why should a UCLA guy, who always wanted to play for the Lakers, leave this team that will be a contender for the next 3 years, for less money?
considering that the Spurs might have to replace several players, a split of the MLE is likely not unlikely.
Chris Andersen+ Stephen Graham
Quinton Ross + Shelden Williams
Rasho+Wally
Pachulia+Rodney Carney
or other combinations of such players. that's the more likely scenario IMO.

Yep with only Vaughn and Udoka with expiring contracts, spurs aint
getting much back for those 2.
But you can't rule out the possibility of trading 1 or more of our players.
Players for picks maybe?
Gonna be an interesting summer.. again.
I was talking about Splitter earlier and yeah, he's still under contract with
TAU till 2012...
But, here's the latest.
http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Tiago-Splitter-25/
Obviously guys like Artest, Wallace and even Ariza are out of the question. Are any off-season trades realistic though? Also what free agents seem to be the most realistic?
Matt Barnes seems like a reasonable Free agent signing I like the way he plays. Maybe the Spurs could work a trade for RJ, VC or Nocioni?
We want an upgrade, not a cancer.
Wallace isn't out of the question at all..
the only real options we're going to have for significant trades is Manu..so it will depend on loyalty, and whether or not the front office has enough confidence in him to contribute at a high level next season..
i cant believe people are considering Rasho or freaking Carney.
So let me get this straight Wallace isn't out of the question even if we DON'T do a trade? My question is, do we have enough to offer Wallace without trading anyone? Same with Ron Ron do we have enough to offer without trading anyone?
we'll be lucky if Holt offers Gooden any money. Lux tax is going to be lowered and in this economy we're not going anywhere near that.
I think the only free agents worth really going after from that list is Ariza and Wallace. Weather we have a real shot at getting either of them is a totally different story. Other then that bring in Gist along side Hill, Hairston, and Mahinmi. Well and try and scrap for more players out of the draft lol...
With those players the future will be going to the lottery.My god, we're at this point now?
Well.. I guess it's not THAT early right now.
With Splitter, Gist and Ian on the way, the future
looks a bit bright.
Still got Hill, Mason and that kid Hairston looked pretty good.
Oh and what about Parker? lol
The kid is amazing.
Looks like we'll be building around Parker for the future.
I'd say that Duncan and Ginobili can give their best for
only 2 more years..
Window is still open.
Building around Parker isn't the way to win tles.He's not as good.
We won championships while TD was the best or close to the best NBA player.Right now we don't have any player close to Lebron,Howard,Kobe or Wade.
Whithout Manu and TD our best way to rebuilt the team will be the NBA draft and be lucky to get one Robinson or Duncan.
How do we even know if James Gist will even be coming over here in the offseason?
