I can easily tell you Finley Kurt Thomas and Shaq are not it.
Surprise signing would be T-Mac. But I doubt it.

God, I'd clutch my heart, like Fred Sanford, if that happened.
"Elizabeth, I'm coming to join ya, honey"
Surprising for me would be AI...and not in a good way.
Realistically I would say Tony Allen.
Jo!
Fat alberts going to come in after we sign the LLE and be like... yup that was the guy.
If he's working him out he better be making him shoot 1000 three pointers a day from each corner.
Or they could just not use it and bring The Centerpiece back..
The only drawback with this plan is that some other team might decide RJ is a decent fallback or role player around whoever they sign, and might offer a contract that the Spurs don't want to match. RJ is looking basically at his last contract under fairly favorable CBA rules, so I'm sure he'll be looking at what's offered out there.
Then you try to work a S&T where all you get back is a trade exception equal to RJ's new first year salary. That TE can then be used to get a player from a team looking to shed salary.
I don't think it can be Childress, I think the Hawks still own his NBA rights. Salmons would be nice, but I don't think there's any way he settles for the LLE. TMac would be... interesting.
Howard would be weird, unless he had a vendetta against the Mavs for trading him and wanted blood. Duncan and Pop originally wanted him anyway, and he's from Wake like Tim. If he would swear off the Mary Jane for the duration of his contract... so no, never going to happen.

Sure. That would be the ideal situation if RJ gets a big offer, but there's no guarantee that the other team would agree to that, right?
I think the Spurs would rather have no Jefferson than Jefferson at $25 mil (or whatever it works out to including the lux tax), so the prospect of losing him isn't that great of a concern. I do think, yes, they wouldn't mind him back at $7mil per for 3 or 4 seasons.
If they are indeed able to add Splitter, then your top 4 bigs are TD, Splitter, McDyess, & Blair. Frankly, I'd rather see them find a way to round that out with a decent big. Of course, all they'd have would be the LLE. Maybe if Ian hadn't pissed in Pop's Bordeaux...
eric b's source
is never wrong
No guarantee, but the Spurs could sweeten the deal by adding an asset or by taking back a small contract that the other team didn't want to keep.
TP & Manu healthy, Jefferson with a year under his belt, Hill a rotation mainstay, Hairston finally in the fold, and Anderson joining will give the Spurs enough on the perimeter. They've won more with less. What they need is to give Timmy help up front. Bonner has to be gone. Naturally when the league is moving to über-athletic bigs who can block shots and run the court Pop decides he hates the one he has on his bench.
I don't doubt Eric has a source. Like I said, what is wierd is saying you can't say who when that is exactly why you have a source. It is how good media people build a rep.
Correct on Childress. Hawks would have the right to match any offer to him. An LLE offer for him they'd probably take about half a second to match.
Not that I believe that TPark has the insight, but 'interesting' would be a guy like Kyle Korver, Mike Miller, Anthony Tolliver, or Travis Outlaw.
Any deal for less than 30m makes little financial sense for rj IMO.
Mike Miller will get significantly more than the LLE..unless you meant "interesting" because they would be taking less money than they're worth..
Add Ray Allen to the list of people I would be surprised to see come for the LLE.
TD, Manu, TP, RJ, Splitter, Dice, Blair, Hill, Anderson, Hairston, FA wing or shooter, and FA shooting or athletic/shot-blocking big-man and we are good to go.
