We have to have a 13th player on the roster.
The spurs should go for SF Thomas Abercombrie who outplayed both Batum and Rudy Fernandez in the recent World championships.

No way the Spurs bring back Finley. Not after he punked out last season.
Leaving your team to "go to a le contender" cannot be labeled the Spurs way. I don't care if you like your teams chances or not, you don't jump ship of a Top-10 team just so you can buddy up with a Top-3.
If the Spurs allow that front runner to come back, then they are officially off their rocker.
The question that is left is...who?
There goes the season...
That would be great but contracts could be an issue.
Neal 6'7"? I hope you are not being serious.
Neal can't run or jump with high heels like that
wait . . .
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?????????????????????????
Hokey smokes!

He really didn't look like an NBA player when he was out there this year. So who is incoming?
I agree. I thought he showed flashes of capability as a role player.
Nice eyes, Shoog.![]()
Welcome back. You've been gone a while!![]()

I believe the Spurs would have to pay a penalty to the league that's pretty much equal to signing a player, so they may as well have the player.
A marginal vet would seem to be the best choice, really -- I mean they aren't employed now so they can't really be making demands about playing time, right? Hayes or Pavlovic or Alan Anderson would be the players I would consider.
Anyone have thoughts on Joe Alexander? He was recently waived by the Hornets I believe and he's a legit 6'8".
The Spurs likely need two more players. I highly doubt that Quinn would make the cut.
Udoka would be a good addition. He's actually pretty good at running the point.
What about Damien Wilkins. He is a pretty solid player. Then Flip Murray is still a free agent, but he's small. There is also Trenton Hassell who was once a good defender.
I'd still take Jarvis Hayes. There's really no big SF. Just some smaller shooters that we already have.
Alexander at 6-8 could play that combo PF/SF. He has a pretty good touch and is a good athelete.
"Alexander was described as the best athlete on paper at the draft (2008) overall, by having the second most number of 185 lb bench reps (24), the second highest max touch (12' ½") and the second fastest ¾ sprint time (2.99 seconds)."
7 pages about a player who never played, and about a potential signing who will never play.....
Makes sense![]()
I remember him. I think he started playing basketball as a junior in high school or there about. He was an incredible athlete, but I remember them describing a lot of his basketball skills as "mechanical", and saying that he looked like he was self-taught. I got the impression that he wouldn't be very successful moving without the ball, at the NBA level, and that his shooting stroke probably wouldn't stand up to pressure.
I had looked at the guy, and thought he might be a good project. But maybe with his physical skills he could be taught defense in less time. Still, he sounds like a player that people would be ing about after about the second game.
Alexander has played 160 NBA minutes overall since 2008.
he didn't even look like a potential 3rd stringer for a single second of that few minutes.
Adam Morrison would be a much better idea than Alexander and Morrison already is a pretty bad idea.
And one post by someone too stupid to realize that the Spurs go one deep at small forward.
The team has two weeks to add someone to the roster, so it's going to happen one way or another. Due to the Anderson injury, this player's going to get a legitimate chance to contribute, so the choice is fairly important.
Or you're just too stupid to realize that Manu will continue playing back up small forward like he has been.
He goes out of the game at 6 minutes, comes back in at the 2 minute mark for R.J.
Leaving more time for Hill (who was seeing just around 20 minutes a game before Anderson's injury) and leaving more time for Neal at the two spot.
The chances the new signing will take some of Hill and Neal's wing minutes is very unlikely.
Yes Spurs have to sign someone, but they will hardly ever play.
Moutainballer - you're plugged in with a lot of Euro ball information. Does Pete Mickeal have a buyout that we could swallow? I saw him in a few games and he looked solid enough to me. Was that a fluke?
