I have read seperate reports that say both Oliver Miller and Greg Ostertag are attempting NBA comebacks...
Maybe someone should give Bryant "Big Country" Reeves a call and see if he wants in.
That is asking a lot from the FO that just made a big move. That would put them well into the luxury tax if they used the full MLE. Even a significant portion would put them there.

Spurs using all of their MLE would be a big surprise.
True, but then how many of us thought the Spurs would be willing to add a $14 million dollar player without sending Manu away?
I see more a trade than a FA signing because of the luxury tax.
Splitter deciding to man up and sign with Spurs this summer would be also a great idea.
But he can get more next summer. On the other hand Tau might want the buyout money, instead of losing him for nothing next year.
So what's our depth chart now?
Starting five:
Parker
Ginobili
Jefferson
Duncan
Gooden
2nd five
Hill
Mason
Finley
Bonner
Mahinmi
Does that sound right?
Gooden is gone
No.

Hill
Mason
Finley

What do you think about a Mason and Bonner for Camby deal Bruno.
trade Mason, Bonner, and/or Finley..that should be enough to get us a good role player big next to Duncan..it doesn't have to be a big-name, just somebody that can start on a team as a role player..
bring Bowen back and maybe even Kurt, bring Gist in, bring Ian in, and bring one of Hairston or Williams in..all of those seem likely at this point(if Kurt gets bought out) since we need low-cost options..
the trade is the most important part though..
THe need for a big brings us back to the following possibles:
Marcin Gortat
Rasheed Wallace
Drew Gooden
Splitter?
Still would like to see the Spurs move up into the first round of Thursday's draft to select a young, talented SF (Young, Casspi) and another young big.
Salaries don't match (even after July 1st). Spurs must add a player (Mahinmi, Hill or Marcus Williams).
I'm quite low on Camby and I wouldn't trade Hill for him.
Now, if Spurs can get him without losing Hill, they should do this trade.
1) Ian takes his seat at the big boy table.
2) Pursue, but DON'T pay a premium for Gortat or Zaza
3) Perform due diligence on Sean May who today became an UFA. Kid has a chip on his shoulder, plus he's finally healthy.
4) Give Sheed enough time to realize that few contending teams are willing to pay what he asks. Offer him a reasonable 4 year deal (possibly a player option on 3rd and team on last). I know - he's on the "older" side- but I would argue that at 34 a longer term deal would go a long way in getting him to come down on his demands.
5) Keep either Fin/Ime as an (cheap) insurance policy, but not both
Random thought: I think I remember the Spurs had a brief interest in Blair. I wonder if there is anything to that still (or buying a 1st generally). I believe last I read he had dropped on the mock draft boards.
If I'm not mistaken Sheed is 34 this year... you want to sign him to a 4 year deal?
Spurs probably revisited some talks with the nets to get Jeffeson (big up to all the naysayers...)
Maybe they could revisit the camby trade of last year, it was supposedly fabricio, bruce and hill
I don't have that much faith in pop to handle hill , and for the newt two years, i'd rather have marcus in the starting five
But, what are the odds on the clipps bitin' at a mason, mahinmi, splitter's rights, bonner offer ?
I also like a lot quinton ross who plays for them i think
I don't want to give up Hill in any trade, especially for a guy like Camby..
Mason, Bonner, and/or Finley should be able to bring in somebody good..
Yes, but the question is who could be this somebody...
They already tried to get camby and, maybe splitter, so they obviously come to mind
then, there's also that Javtokas guy i almost forgot...
I like duncan at C next year, and jeffeson/gist at the forwards slot, but i doubt pop put gist in the rotation, much less the startin line-up next year
Mcdyess would make sense but it'd financially wiser to not get our big through FA but through trade
I'd like a forward able to run in a modified system more centered around tony parker

I think Camby makes the most sense.
You're right. Ideally a deal would be less than 4 years. However, I was just suggesting that a player like Sheed at 34 (35 before the coming season) may be swayed by an offer of a longer deal obviously worth less $$ than what he is asking for currently. He'd be asking for at least 2 years anyway to be sure, so a 3rd, possibly fourth (team opt.?) could be a good negotiations ploy.
In fairness, it could be that I'm seeing this through Sheed-tinted glasses. I'll put it out there -- I'm high on the guy (techs and all). He's a good position D player that can spread the floor. High BBIQ and I think he would thrive in a role where he didn't have to be a go-to guy.
Ideally, there would be a sign and trade of mason/bonner/x for rasheed
And what about pryzbilla ?
Fabricio could also come back and make an adequate job with the fab four

Trade Finley and Bonner for Camby. Sign McDyess for the MLE.
Parker/Hill
Mason/Manu
Jefferson/Bowen or someone else.
Tim/Ian/Gist
Camby/McDyess
Trading Mason will be the only chance to land a legit big man next to Tim.IMO
I'd really like to see fabricio workin with the big four, alas, he must be plan F for the spurs right now
We could wait up to february trade deadline to see this big situation settled
Bigs.
