We heard somw news on every free agent big. The only one that we heard nothing is Gooden. NOTHINGThat'd be hilarious if the Spurs wanted Gooden back the whole time and just never mentioned it to keep his value low
The sad part is that I wouldn't be surprised if Bass is the #1 guy..
still..RC and Pop sounded extremely confidence that we would be getting a legit starting big man..I guess the problem will be what they might view as that type of player..

True. That confidence was weird if they looked at this as a two dog race. Perhaps they have a group of players they like and will gladly scoop up whichever one doesn't land elsewhere.
Let's hope not
Pachulia?That'd be hilarious if the Spurs wanted Gooden back the whole time and just never mentioned it to keep his value low
McDyess is now far and away the number one option. Wallace and Gortat are off the board. Varejao sounds like he's staying with Cavs. The Nuggets seem to be narrowing in on a contract with Andersen.
Could Brandon Bass be the Spurs' main target all along?
from my version of the list before free agency.
Still available:
McDyess
Pachulia
Javtokas (no longer with Dynamo = no buyout)
Anderson (though unlikely)
McDyess would still be a good offseason. ZaZa would be fair.
Bass or Big Baby would be a waste of MLE.
McDyess would make an excellent offseason. Excellent.
^ If spurs sign Brandon it will be drum & bass time on spurstalk
God, the only thing I want less then the one of the old pistons is another offensive-minded, undersized PF. Please no Bass, please no big baby, we already have Blair, if you don't trust his knees, why did you draft him?
i think i am finally able to understand what Pop means by getting a "4" during his interview. i see Spurs moving T. Duncan to "C" next year, and having a skilled and mobile "4" partnering T. Duncan up front. i think that's probably the reason that Spurs have been reported to be after B. Bass and G. Davis.
McDyess is for sure one now for me. Second? I'm not sure. Bass suddenly doesn't sound that bad compared to Big Baby.
Hopefully we hear either the Spurs are going to narrow in on McDyess or that they will want another bigman of adequate size.
Don't forget Zaza.
Bring in Sanikidze for 10/11, then you have yourself a Georgian War Machine.
Looks like the F.O. is leaning toward G. Davis.
I'm still for Gooden + Rasho, 'cause with Haislip, Blair, Bonner (or, maybe, Gist) we don't have 4'rs with size ... wand that can be a defensive problem. Plus I prefer bigs apt to rebound/block shots.
But maye the f.o. still prefer to look more at offence or has seen something I don't see regarding the Glan Davis defensive game...
Spurs appear to play waiting game on FA front & in doing so leads me to believe that S/T (possible multi-moves ) sign MLE & move w/ existing player/s on roster for their big Man (Krisitic?/Camby?/Gasol?)
fwiw...from DMN
The Mavs have crossed their top two priorities off their free agency checklist, with Jason Kidd deciding to return to Dallas and Marcin Gortat agreeing to accept the Mavs' mid-level exception.
Brandon Bass ought to have next, right? After all, the 24-year-old does represent the Mavs' only reliable frontcourt reserve scorer, and he's proven that he can perform under playoff pressure.
Tony Dutt, Bass' agent, had talked to four teams this morning by the time I called about an hour ago. The Mavs weren't one of them, but Dutt has been in consistent contact with the folks in the Dallas front office.
"We continue to talk to Brandon's agent and hope to work something out," Mark Cuban said.
Dutt is continuing to talk to a lot of other teams, too. He mentioned the Bobcats, Magic, Hornets, Pistons, Blazers and Lakers (if Lamar Odom leaves) as among the possibilities.
No mention of Spurs interest by Bass agent
^^ Nice find and welcome to the forum.
I wonder if that gives more credence to the Big Big rumors
Tnks for the welcome TimVP
IMHO the Spurs NON pursuit of Wallace did address a question/concern in pursuing their FA and that obvious answer is TEAM Chemistry.
They want a coachable player who will buy into Spurs program. I personally did not see that fit w/ Rasheed.
The Spurs are targeting their Ring Run for these next 2 YRS and will bring in a NBA ready Big Man (no Splitter) to help TIM
I for one am looking West ...Clipperland (technically 3 centers on roster Kaman/Camby/Jordan) lotta $ tied w/ Camby -35yrs old & Kaman
Interesting to guess how chess board is being played by FO
Kaman will be tough to move because of that trade kicker he possesses.
Camby really is the best option..hopefully the Clippers would take a 1st round pick to dump him..
I do not know if the Spurs will take him. That trade kicker is sick.
Well there aren't many better trade options that could fill a need, probably nobody, so I would hope they take him..if we don't, then the MLE has to be used appropriately, and Big Baby isn't what I mean by appropriately..
Outside of Gordon & maybe Davis...Clippers will need perimeter shooters to open lanes for Griffin/Kaman
I think we have assests (players)that they may need(w/o giving up picks) to match up Camby expiring $$$. Holt has revealed short term Motivation (Reward Duncan for his loyalty) & is prepared to reasonably open wallet.
As previously mentioned in thread...maybe another team may get involved to secure player &/or $ contract ----Good God Threesome
Well the fact that Camby is an expiring contract is the problem though..the Clippers need motivation to make an expiring for expiring trade..maybe they view Camby as a mentor for Griffin, who knows..
we'd most certainly have to throw in a 1st rounder, at least IMO..
Agree HH...it is difficult enuf to attempt to comprehend Clippers moves over last decade. They won less than 20 games lst yr...Griffin will play heavy minutes @ p/f and Kaman avgs 30-32 min with more minutes to be given to their developing C /DeAndre Jordan (12+ min)...Minutes for Camby as backup p/f less than 12 min (my prjection w/ Griffin in fold).
We can trade expring $$$(combo players) to Clips and they can have same $$$ xmig off their books heading into 2010. Good short term need for both teams
Very happy to get your 2nd ranked bigman.Word!
