The Spurs will probably just shuffle d-leaguers in and out until after the trading deadline when vets start getting bought out. Then they'll chase one of them for the playoff run.
I wouldnt Mind Pavlovic..... He is 6'8 and Can Shoot.... He isnt The most Athletic.... But Is A Decent Defender....

They need someone now though. Unless you think 6'2" Gary Neal can man the position.
Can I have my bible back...please?
Pavlovic isn't signed anywhere. I could see Pop go Serbian.
Not a bad idea.
Now things are getting interesting.
This is a perfect time for some blockbuster Melo trade that involves the Spurs giving a draft pick & Chris Quinn for someone, blah, blah, blah....There has to be some kind of trade because the list of free agents just doesn't do it for me.....
I'm sure they'll grab somebody. Just saying that whoever that somebody is may not be here for the long term either.
A 6'2" backup SF? I don't even want to imagine Neal trying to guard the backup 2's and 3's in this league, much less the likes of Caron Butler, Carmelo Anthony and Rudy Gay. This situation cannot last long.
When RJ is out of the game , Manu would probably be the primary defender on the opposing 3s while Neal takes on the 2 guard.
i'm pretty sure ginobili will be seeing a lot more minutes at SF.
Has Bowen been working out?
Probably not, with Anderson coming back, but depending on how quickly Anderson can get re-acclimated, who knows.
I really doubt however that they will go the 'sign a vet after the trade deadline' route.
Spurs now don't have a true Small Forward other then Jefferson.
I would be very shocked if the spurs don't have a plan in the works, but then again the way things are going we just will see another undersized shooter signed.
This team was pretty small at the start of the season and has gotten drastically smaller.
Good luck Gee.
Do you think he'll go to Europe or Toros?
i'd be less concerned if anderson's injury such didn't have such an uncertain and potentially problematic timetable associated with its recovery time.
where did hairston go again?
Spurs FO sent him overseas, and he is injured as well now,
I thought Hairston failed his physical in Europe, did he get picked up by another Euro team?
I get the feeling that the Spurs want to steer clear of minimal vets like Hayes.
Nichols is a guy I could see them signing. Close to a legit 6-8, long armed (7-foot wingspan), good shooter (in the mold of a younger James Jones), has had a couple of cups of coffee in the league with the Bulls and Knicks.
Another guy I could see them signing is Gardner. Really, he's a two, but he's built well, like Gee, Udoka, etc., so I could see them viewing him as being capable of playing the three.
Ime Udoka anyone?
Hopefully RJ never gets in foul trouble or Manu will probably be playing a few to many minutes out of position. If both got in foul trouble, I don't know who Pop goes to then, probably George Hill at SF.
There just isn't much the spurs can do to make a trade work at this point, they have too few movable pieces and are too far over the cap...
Dyess is about the only player the spurs can actually trade until Dec 15th (Bonner, Neal, and Jefferson all are trade restricted until the 15th) and unless you throw in Blair or Anderson the Spurs can't get much for him.
That said I think Udoka would make some sense as well as Finley or Povlovic.
It really worries me with no Anderson or Gee, the toll this will take on Manu's body.
Brandon Rush looks really, really good defensively against the Hawks right now...
