This would be great. We've been needing a serviceable backup PG for a while. Especially valuable with the crunch of games coming up. Hope he's willing to sign cheap.

[monkeypunk]

I'd take TJ for the min. If he stays healthy, he can contribute.

[NASpurs]

Whoa TJ Ford, that came out of left field for me for some reason. I'm guessing Joseph is headed towards the Toros.

[DesignatedT]

So Caron for the MLE and Ford for the LLE. What abour our front court situation?

[Libri]

I also like the news. I like that he's quick and can push the offense.

[Manu20]

I really like the TJ news! not bad for a backup PG..

[Ice009]

How about Jeremy Pargo if we don't get Ford?

I'm very interested in TJ Ford though as he seems aggressive and can push the ball. Could be a great signing if the price is right.

[DesignatedT]

I like both those signing but we seriously need some help down low. I like the looks of

PG-Tony,TJ Ford
SG-Manu, Neal, Anderson
SF-Butler, Leonard, Anderson

butler signing is confirmed?

[DesignatedT]

butler signing is confirmed?

No. FA doesnt open up until Friday. I was just speculating.

[Big P]

Alex Kennedy: After using the amnesty clause on Richard Jefferson, don't be surprised if the Spurs sign Shane Battier. There's mutual interest

The Nets met with unrestricted free agent SF Caron Butler on Wednesday and have another meeting planned on Thursday.

Butler has drawn a lot of interest around the league, but it should be noted that he was struggling before he had major knee (patella) surgery. In reality he's perfect for a 20-25 minute role on a contending team (like the Clippers who he met with earlier in the week), rather than being a No. 2 or 3 guy as some seem to believe he is.

When the did that happen?

[Ditty]

I'm suprised Spurs seem to have no interest in Joel Pryzbilla, maybe even Kwame Brown.

Hopefully when we settle our SF position, we can go after him.

[DMC]

When the did that happen?

This.

I don't recall the Clips being a contending team, unless they are talking about the lottery.

[GSH]

If the Spurs had a starting SF, James Jones would be a nice pickup. He plays D, he can stroke it, and he's going to go pretty cheap. I think he might be one of the bargains of the offseason. Not a game-changer - but a good, solid player for the price.

Pryzbilla is definitely a good name if we can get for the min.

[TDMVPDPOY]

get that big player b4 lookin at SFs...

i rather the spurs promote green or butler then chase another 3

wtf is replacing dice, hence we are short on bigs and blair, bonner = fail lineup

[Russo21]

yeah blair and boner need out of here i hope they can get rid of them.

Pryzbilla/Kwame
Duncan/Splitter

Something like that would be a good start. Go from having a midget frontline to a massive frontline. Then throw in Butler or Battier and our frontline is set.

Butler or Battier/Leonard
Manu/Anderson/Neal
Parker/ TJ Ford

Memphis Grizzlies free-agent forward Shane Battier(notes) is still leaning toward signing with the Heat, a league source said. Battier wants to contend for a championship, and the Heat have long targeted him as a possible addition.

As Caron Butler(notes) completes his personal tour of NBA suitors, the Chicago Bulls remain the team to beat for him, league sources said.

[Russo21]

Huh the bulls have luol deng at SF? He's awesome they dont need butler. Unless they'd play butler at the SG

PG Rose
SG Butler
SF Deng

= en wicked lol Hope the bulls dont get him

[elemento]

I am pretty sure they'll play Butler at the 2.
