doesn't matter
I think a proven backup pg is the last piece that we are lacking right now.
Somehow talk the Nuggets into trading Carter for some Taco Cabana.
I still vote Hermann
He is a little too old and short on performance, not to mention the team is stacked at the SF and PF position.
Stacked at SF? We need another center I don't trust Ian, I am okay with Hill as the back up point. Who is stacking the SF spot? Finley? Gist? I don't know. I saw someone moving Bonner to SF, if we thought he couldn't guard centers looking out.
Ya, Steve Kerr.
The backcourt is set, the frontcourt has alot of question marks, but unquestionably the biggest gaping hole is behind Richard Jefferson at SF. I absolutely DO NOT want Finley averaging 15 minutes per game off the bench this year.
The problem is...I don't see a player at the LLE that is an upgrade to Fin.
grant hill?
Flip Murray?
Spurs need another big man and another SF. I'd like to see them sign Rasho and then trade some of their expiring contracts for a SG or SF. Someone like SJax would be ideal.
To round out the roster I would do this:
Trade Williams/Finley/Bonner to Sacto for Andres Nocioni
Sign one of Drew Gooden/Shelden Williams/Rasho Nesterovic with the LLE
Send McClinton to Europe
Sign Gist and send to Austin
Parker
Hill
Ginobili
Jefferson
Mason
Nocioni
Hairston
Gist
Duncan
McDyess
Blair
Nesterovic/S. Williams/Gooden
Haislip
Mahinmi
Roster stands at 14. IR Gist and a big or maybe Hairston if hes not getting minutes
I guess i dont understand why everybody is down on george hill. the guy had flashes of brillance last year especially on defense. people have to remember that he was a rookie last year and he has the tools and the coaches to improve his game. also y is evrybody hating on roger mason? the guy hit countless game winners last year. i agree that he didnt play up to par in the playoffs but again the guy can flat out play and i believe he deserves another chance. as for finley i have to agree that he needs to be taken out of the rotation. he just doesnt have the speed and athletics that he used to. the guys can shoot but i dont believe he should playing over mason or even hairston. i believe they have a good rotation with
parker/ hill pg
jefferson/mason/manu/hairston/finley
duncan/ mcdyess/ blair/ mahimi/ bonner
and u never know they may be able to get bowen or thomas back if they are bought out and that would just be gravy
maybe
sign rasho, at least he knows the system
trade away finley + mason + bonner for someone
look for a pg....
Marvin Williams can play SF?PF and C in a small ball lineup
Hill just backed up my thoughts after 1 game..he clearly has the talent to be a legit backup PG this season..it's all about the mentality, and he looks like he's thinking to attack a lot more..
Hairston will be a better backup SF than anybody we should spend the LLE on..he's going to be just as good, and he'll be cheaper..book it..
Ian will have to play a lot better though, or we'll need to sign or acquire a C..too early to judge though..
so trade three solid rotation players for a backup pg that will play like 10 to 15 mins a game? how does that make any sense? i ll give tha fin is past his prime but mason is not nor is bonner. bonner and fin could play spot duty and mason is a rotaion player who deserves 20 minutes a game at least.
FINLEY and bonner will get us nothing, u have to add mason to get it done since we not givin up on any other players....
if i had the chance i sign 3 scarecrows would do a better job defending the paint than these 3
In the NBA nobody trades players...they trade contracts. We're in the business of alleviating somebody's financial strain by freeing them up from a burdensome contract. Hence, expiring contracts have considerable value. Looking to free up cap space? Take Bonner and Finley and we'll take this heavy contract off your back. It's a match made in heaven.
i didnt know that mason and finley were inside defenders hmmmm. seriously though with george hill the spurs dont need to give up mason or bonner for that matter. they really need their ability to space the floor with mcdyess and blair coming in as well as jefferson's ability to drive.
I get what you're saying, but who's going to shoot 40%+ from 3pt range. Maybe Manu but that's it.
Isn't Williams an expiring contract as well?
Non-Guaranteed. He has a contract for next season but can be waived before a certain date and be an automatically expiring deal.
This was the allure of Fabri Oberto and Bruce Bowen. Both were only partially guaranteed, meaning that once they were waived the cap hit was lessened immediately.
I have been a champion of the Spurs going after Williams this offseason, but at this point, he is unattainable. Since Atlanta tendered him, he has a one year contract offer of over 7 million on the table. Atlanta is willing to pay that for him this coming season and its only a one year deal. So expirings are not good enough to get them to trade him, you have to offer them value as well...what are you going to add. Hill, Splitter, draft picks??? None of those are good enough to get it done...as much as this Duke fan would like to see this Tar Heel in silver and black, it just isn't happening.
Hawks, Williams Close On Deal
Marvin Williams is close to signing a multi-year contract with the Atlanta Hawks, according to sources that spoke with HoopsWorld's Joel Brigham.
Williams was hoping for a contract the $40 million range, and Atlanta's initial offer was reportedly around $37.5 million.
