Buyout Options?

[PDXSpursFan]

I really hope we can get Pryzbilla. I watched the Blazer vs. Lakers game the other night and he was impressive defensively against Bynum. He blocked Bynum a couple of times. You could see the frustration on Bynum 's face as he end up being a non-factor scoring only 6 pts.

Spurs are currently $985K below the tax. If you sign today a player to the min for the rest of the season, it costs $241K against the tax. Spurs have now the possibility to carry a 15 players roster without going over the tax.

So if you think Spurs need to add a vet 7 footer and a vet SF, they can do both. Personally, I only see the need to add a SF. The 14th and 15th roster spots can be filled with D-League prospects.

I was curious about that, Thanks for the info. I doubt players like Butler or Pryzbilla would be willing to sign for the min. though . . . who knows?

[Leetonidas]

Pryzbilla would be nice. I know he had interest in signing here the last time he was a free agent. He would be a great big body to have in the middle if nothing else to play some tough defense and grab some boards/block some shots. He isn't going to make or break this team but he could only help. Perhaps he's tired of losing and knee injuries.

I didn't know that, that he had interest in signing here last time he was a free agent.
Where did you hear that?
He, and McGuire too, signing here would be too much to ask. It would bode well for next season as well.

I remember whenever it was he was a free agent there were rumors all over the board that the Spurs were going after Pryzbilla and he had genuine interest in them but decided to stay in Portland because it was his "home."

Now this is a good thread about how we can fill holes in our lineup. Bruno, or any other cap guys what are our options and restrictions money wise? What can we offer?

I knew I could count on you. Thanks.

I see the lakers in his future.

[admiralsnackbar]

No! If the Spurs go after a guard that is bought out it should be Ford!

Besides -- even after a buyout, Bibby will remain well out of our price range.

TJ seems just as unlikely, but he may settle for a back-up position given his health problems and troubles in Indiana in order to jockey for a higher price tag down the road.

anyone know when is the deadline to sign the 13th player? i heard its tuesday next week...can someone confirm this?

[ohmwrecker]

The Spurs currently have 13 players.

Tuesday is important because if you're on an NBA roster on March 1st you can't get bought out and appear on another team's playoff roster. But as far as there being a deadline to sign someone, there isn't one. You can sign a guy on the last day of the regular season and put him on your playoff roster.

It would make sense, since the Lakers love collecting leadfooted pgs.

Right now I think they're just trying to collect someone who is better than Steve Blake..............

Joel Pryzbilla is the most important name out there in my book, that's who I want the Spurs to pick up. We might get a small forward or nobody at all, but I'd really like it if we'd go after Pryzbilla. His rebounding and size would be much appreciate on the Spurs.

Agreed. Pryz would be a great pickup if the Spurs could swing it.

some interesting tweets from varner48MoH

http://twitter.com/#!/varner48MoH

mentioning Marcus Cousin, Pryzbilla and derrick brown

Cousins, Brown, Pryz....who else? Other names likely to emerge over weekend.

RT @darthzen: @varner48MoH Talked to Cousin's mom in Austin airport 3 wks ago. They're moving to the area. Conversations w/Pop & Spurs...

Marcus Cousin might be a better sign than Pryz. Knows system. Healthy. Good reward for his solid Toros play.

Of the free agents available for the Spurs, Derrick Brown is interesting.

[venitian navigator]

rasual butler (long three, defense, outside shoot) end priz (rebounds, blocked shots, phisycal in the paint) , if available and willing to play for a good post season chance, looks definitely the kind of ok players for filling the 14 and 15 spot...

[timtonymanu]

McGuire or Przybilla would be great.

Waive Novak.
Sign 1 of the 2 or
Sign Cousin.

[Yorae]

No. cousins and his drama. I want godzilla.

Koozahn!

Any word on whether he may be a late-season callup?

Just speculative talk. Nothing solid. He's been pretty impressive on the Toros this season though.
