Spurs never make things public until the deal is done.
Anyone else not surprised that we have not heard anything legit about the Spurs and FA?
I mean, no articles about us offering anything or visiting anyone.
I for one am not too surprised. I believe the Spurs will watch the first big chips fall and then by next week start making some moves.
Looks like Gortat is out of the running.
Lee is more than likely going to OKC.
Odom is not coming.
Bass is being heavily pursued by New Orleans and Orlando.
I hear Garnett is hounding Wallace to come to Boston, so who knows...
I believe the Spurs are targeting ZaZa and thats who we will get in free agency....a true center, which we need.

Agreed.
But just like the RJ trade was unexpected....
I expect the Spurs to be pursuing someone who is pretty much under everyone's radar: ZaZa
ZaZa is the guy I want, so I hope your right.
it's a buyer's market. most teams will be willing to wait as prices drop.
The market has been open for 17 and a half hours. We've got a long ways to go.
It's called patience. This is only the first day of free agency. Besides, the Spurs never let anything be known to the public unless a deal is completely done. Jeff McDonald said the Spurs have been in contact with Rasheed already, and many national sources are saying it's between Spurs and Celtics for him.
Odom was never going to be a Spur, get that out of your head. Spurs never had a chance at David Lee, get that out of your head, too. The only one I would be bummed about is Gortat, who supposedly already has an offer from Houston, and he could end up there.
There is still ZaZa, and McDyess. There are options, and I believe the Spurs will get one of them. Let's not forget about Gooden. They could very well turn to him if all else fails.
So just wait it out.
ZaZa is NOT the guy the Spurs need. We already went down the Rasho road. There are a couple of things we need from the 2 bigs we possibly may obtain through free agency: a presence in the middle (block shots/rebounds) and the ability to help spread the floor. ZaZa can do neither one of those things. His rebounding is barely average, his shot blocking is almost non-existent and his range is fairly limited.
If I'm the Spurs, I'm not throwing my MLE exception or anything close at a guy like this.
Pass.
The Spurs may not have a choice if Sheed and Dice are not available. They may have to take a shot at ZaZa because he would be the best available player after those two. He isn't polished, but the guy is young and has the potential to be a outstanding role player for the Spurs.
Not surprised. But very happy you made a thread about it.
I wouldn't be surprised if we don't see much action until the new cap figures come out on July 7th.
The way things should be done. My list is 1. Sheed 2. Dice 3. ZaZa. I think its a win-win-win situation, if we get any of these guys...![]()
Its day 1.
Seriously people?
I mean, SERIOUSLY!?!?
If the Spurs get Zaza as our savior Center, I will be utterly disappointed
Dude, seriously get a ing hobby.
not even 24 hours have passed and you think all the FA's are gone.
It's already been 18 hours and so far there's no sign of any movement. The stupid front office must not want to win.
Not with like 5 years/50 million for Gordon happening.
IMO after dice and sheed our best available option is still Gooden.
Whats cambys situation??
I won't be suprised, when the spurs sign a suprise.
Camby has one year left on his current deal worth $7.6M.
I would expect Clips to move him considering the glut of PF/C on their roster.
Could be a great pick up which Spurs could get by agreeing to swap expiring contracts.
o, free agency just started. i dont understand why everyone got so excited about july 1st when you cant sign a player till the 8th.
Yeah. SERIOUSLY!!
Pistons made the first splash today. Should start to see some ripples the next few days. I know the Spurs FO are doing their job. Patience peeps.
I don't see the Clips trading him now that the glut of bigmen just got a bit thinner after trading Randolph.
