I'd say '87 and '97 were better ......... but this has to be top five.
Wanted to be the first to proclaim this...
Bring on 2009-2010

Tony/Hill
Manu/Mason/Jack
RJ/Hairston/Finley
McDyess/Blair/Bonner
Duncan/Mahinmi
Final roster?
Edit: I just realized I've 13 players in there who gets out of the 12 men roster?
You forgot Haislip.
And I imagine that Hairston, Williams, McClinton, and Gist are fighting for a couple spots.
Oh, and I agree with timvp. Perhaps 3rd best off-season in recent history.
Wait. Where's THE GIST?
Toros probably...
resigning david robinson and duncan,manu and tp were important offseasons to
I'd also put the summer we fended off Orlando for TD ahead of this one, but that about covers it (in addition to LJ's already mentioned).
You're right, do you think he will make the 12 men roster above any of those 5 bigmen.
They did sign Haislip the first day to sign Free Agents today.
They signed him knowing they had Bonner/ Blair/ Mahimni/ Gist waiting to compete for back up spots already.
Makes you believe he damn sure will.
It's between him and Blair, I guess.
There is currently one spot left on a full 15 man squad.
If Gist makes the team he will be in street clothes.
Mmmh I have Blair as the 3rd best big in our roster right now so I don't think his spot on the 12 men roster is in danger.
Bruce Bowen.
this is up there with the best no question
manu/mase/hill/jeff/fin=no bowen
There's always place for Bruce.
The only reason I would put a healthy Mahinmi over Blair is 4-5" height difference. However, Blair, Haislip and Mahinmi will have to earn their spots.
Too much talent. Nice problem to have.
I see it like this
C - Mahimni, Bonner, Haislip
PF - Duncan, McDyess, Blair
SF - Jefferson, Finley, Gist
SG - Mason, Manu, Hairston
PG - Parker, Hill, McClinton
This roster kicks the collective asses of last year's roster immensely. Unfortunately, this pretty much means that there will be no Bruce Bowen for one last season. Of course, I have no issues sending Finley to Milwaukee for Bruce (when he is eligible to be traded). I have no loyalty towards Finley.....but I have total fan loyalty to Bruce. For what he has meant for this team and city, I want him back for one final year, then he can retire a Spur and maybe move into an assistant coaching or public relations position with the team. , maybe he could join Sean and Bill Land and be part of the announce team.
I would have to put 2000 summer right after 87 and 97... if Duncan leaves in 2000 to Orlando we might be in New Orleans or some other city right now. Outside of straight draft and retaining our own players, this is without a doubt the best offseason ever
Not ever.... but pretty darn close....
Jack is not proven. He surely cannot make the roster this year, maybe he will end up in Toros for a year or two. If Bonner/Finely/Mason are traded there will be more room.
Barring any S&Ts, the pieces are all in place. Now all we need is for everyone to stay healthy and get to know their new teammates and start learning how they fit into the Spurs system.. summer league and training camp will be watched with great interest and I look for all the youngsters to go all out for a roster slot. Its a good thing Pop has mellowed in his old age.. imagine if he had this many new faces back in the day when he had a really short fuze..
If we're referring to non rookie players coming to SA this has to be the best for the Spurs.
Jefferson
Dice
Haislip
