No to Delfino!
The Spurs need a big. That's who they should focus all their energy on. Whether is Sheed or Dice or Gooden or Zaza!
Not another wing player!!
Delfino is two years younger than Mason. I wouldn't mind signing him and freeing up mason to trade for a big man around the league. Hermann would be a good LLE addition. He is a 3 who can play some 4.
The only problem with that is should the spurs go that route, then trade Bonner, Finley and Mason, the only players returning from last year would be the big three plus Ian and Hill. I think Pop is real into commitment with certain players and doesn't have the heart to totally clean house.

linkIf the Raptors can't trade Marion, the simplest path to clearing space for Turkoglu would be to renounce its rights to Marion, Carlos Delfino, and Anthony Parker.
isn't Delfino making 8mil a year? he won't come for peanuts
Russians didn't pay him the money they promised.
How about Marion, Delfino, and A Parker for Bonner, Mason, and Finley?
I think that prevents them from getting Hedo.
When while in Toronto has Delfino been able to prove himself as clutch?
You need a good defender on the wing if you expect to be contending, and Delfino is certainly one of the better ones out there. He's also a good rebounder.
On the other hand, he's a certifiable bonehead on offense.
That's true. He's one of the best rebounding SG. If he can be had for the LLE, I'm in (but nothing more than that). If we use the MLE on a big (which we willl) the next positions to cover are the 2 and the 3 so he could be a good option.
does anyone know if the Raptors still hold his rights, or did they renounce the rights to clear the cap space for the offer to JJack?
they did give Delfino a QO in mid June, I guess 2.8 million, but they might have withdrawn the offer to create the cap space for Jack?
I didn't find accurate pay roll informations that also consider Hedo's contract, but IMO they had to withdraw the QO to Delfino to be able to sign Jack to the offer sheet.
so, any news about his status? (or will he stay with Khimki? they also signed Javtokas btw.)
He is making an ape load of money in Russia... there is no way he goes back to the NBA on the cheap side.. and he ain't no star to do it on the expensive side...
The Marion S&T that was part of the Hedo trade put the Raptors over the cap. After that deal they had access to their MLE and LLE. A portion of the MLE has been used for Jack. They did not have to renounce Delfino.
Some explanation here from after the trade:

Nah Id Stay Away from him..... All He Can Do Is Shoot(very Streaky)........ His defense Is awful...... He would Be like A Poor Mans Version of Michael Finley...... And Michael Finleys Defense is bad Enough......
That's another ing lie. And it has been proven over and over and over and over.
Carlos demands a 2 year $10 million contract with both years guaranteed and the team signing him to pay the $500,000 buyout to Khimki. These are his demands to come back to the NBA. So it will cost $10.5 million to get him, otherwise he has already said he will stay in Khimki for 2 more years.
ah, thanks for the update. this explains a lot. so Delfino could also be a candidate for a S&T theoretically. it doesn't look as if he is in the Raptors plans at all, including Jack the Raptors now have plenty of guys in the back court with long term contracts and DeRozan also looked pretty nice in the SL and should become part of the rotations immediately.
(ah, no, I don't see any S&T scenario with the Spurs that would make any sense for the Raptors. except if they sacrificed the Splitter rights. this teaser would be interesting for the passport collection of Colangelo. and no, I also don't want the Spurs to think about this)
WTF? Delfino is a pretty good defensive player. Just ask any Pistons or Raptors fans in here.
yeah. (I don't think SpurCharger has ever seen him play, likely doesn't know who this guy is at all)
Delfino is a good defender with the potential to become a very good defender, if he did focus on that. his future in the NBA could very well be the James Posey role.
(and Posey also needed some years to realize this and transform into the defensive role player he is today)
