here are my list of most wanted big guys:
1.) R. Wallace- He's a big long guy. He has very good individual D and team D, always thought he guarded Duncan pretty well. He can run the floor. He could shoot from the 3pt line. He also has a post game. But the thing that worries me about him is that he's a bit of a head case, and he'll be 35 by the time the playoff starts, and he showed sign of slowing down last year.
2.) A. McDyess- At 6-9 he is not as long or big as some of your other PF or C. He's a strong guy and plays very hard. He is good individual and team defender but will not particularly block a lot of shots. He is a good rebounder. He is pretty mobile. He can also step out and shoot the mid range J. But like R. Wallace, he is going to be 35 by the time the playoff starts and you just don't know how much he has left in the tank.
3.) H. Warrick or D. Gooden - H. Warrick is your typical hybrid 3 / 4. He is 6-9 but extremely long and athletic, but he only weighs 219 lb. He runs the floor really well, and block a lot of shot due to his length and athletic abilities. He still hasn't developed much of a outside J. He is still very young at 26. H. Warrick still has a lot of upside, but the one thing that i worry about him is that whether he could guard some of the bigger 4 in this league.
D. Gooden is someone with good size at 6-10. He is pretty mobile for a big man. He rebound well. He can step out and hit the mid range J. His individual defense is decent but his team defense is really poor. He has a pretty low bball IQ and will take some bad shots. He is in his prime at 27 years old. D. Gooden supposedly could be our best option due to his age, size, and skill sets, but what worries me is his team defense and his bball iq.

my top-options:
A. McDyess...he fits perfectly and is the typical spur
R. Wallace...fits also nicely but not the typical spur
Z. Pachulia...I like the idea of having one more big body out there
H. Warrick...I really like him, but don't see him contributing to a championship...cant guard Gasol
M. Gortat...see Z. Pachulia
C. Villanueva...see H. Warrick
C. Wilcox...dont want low BB-IQ guys
D. Gooden...see C. Wilcox
G. Davis...C's will keep him
A. Varejao...dont see cleelandletting him walk
L. Powe...see G. Davis
I think, the spurs should be able to get dice or sheed and combined with jefferson, thats a nice forward duo to complement TD,TP and manu
McD for LLE
Gortat for MLE
look what the trade market already did and delivered the best possible to the Spurs. there will be even more dealing and so I truly believe the PF/C solution will come via trade. Spurs still have some assets in Matt and RM and as we learned, the expirings contracts can move mountains this summer.
I think getting players like Collison or Turiaf via such a trade is highly possible. depending on the direction the team decides to go, also players like Foster might be a possibility.
and in a lower quality category names like Kris Humphries and Hamed Haddadi should be on the market for an expiring contract. (this two might have some upside left)
I don't like his game very much but it appears Okur will be a FA

Like Boozer and Korver, the big Turk has an early termination option that gives him until Tuesday to escape the last season of his existing deal.
Indications from both sides Friday, however, seemed to suggest that the gap between them is wide enough that Okur — due to make $9 million next season if he doesn't opt out — will enter the summer shopping market. "We're gonna wait right up until the end," Okur's agent, Marc Fleisher, said when asked if his client's plans had been finalized yet.
"I think he's, right now, leaning toward opting out," Fleisher added. "But we'll make that decision at the last possible minute."
Asked Friday if it's possible any of the three — Okur, Boozer or Korver — reach extension agreements before Tuesday's opt-out deadline, O'Connor said, "I wouldn't take anything out of the equation."
Gotta say mcdyess, sheed, or stick with gooden. The rest I think will want too much like pachulia and obviously villanueva will want waaaay more than we have.
Dyess and sheed are somewhat gambles at their ages, but they both have a lot of PO experience, were at one time both very good players, are still serviceable and lengthy. I think either would help a ton in playing say a team like the fakers because of the mere size each would have and both can bang down low. Sheed tho slower than he was could still give pau/bynum some problems as he's always been a good defender. At this point Im more concerned with helping TD on D and both of them would do that nicely...and they both could still avg. around 10ppg no problem (depending on minutes)
It's pretty likely that the Spurs are going to end up with someone like Rasho because every other name, including Gooden, are going to demand more money than the Spurs can afford.
Please don't say that!
Im staying optimistic because this off-season has been so badass so far, why not stay in the badass category.
This guy is a way better fit, and a way better player than Wallace. He's taller and younger and is an actual center.
