Free Agency: Top 25 Richard Jefferson Replacements

[Summers]

AK47 Probably won't sign for mle. He probably wants to return to the Jazz. Not only because that's his team but Utah has a climate more suitable to his liking.

TP should mention we have air conditioning in most of our buildings and, unlike parts of Russia, an uninterrupted power supply.

[mountainballer]

AK 47 for the MLE would be a no-brainer.

but if this players are not listed for being too expensive (Arron Afflalo, Jeff Green, Thaddeus Young, Jason Richardson) how comes AK isn't on that list?
he is still only 30 (same age like JRich), played a good season and a great Euro 2011.
IMO he is much better than (for example) Caron Butler, who got 3Y/24M.

btw. I do like a Gelabale signing.

use the MLE money on a PF (West? Landry?) and play the SF between Leonard, Gelabale and Anderson. if this doesn't work, get a SF at deadline, which will come pretty soon anyhow.

Reggie Williams anyone? This guy is an absolute STUD. I'd rather have him over anybody right now.

Non defending SF in a SG's body. Pass.

Rather bring back Jerome Kersey tbh..

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Suns have sweetened their offer to Grant Hill, so that takes care of that.

I wouldn't mind Anthony Parker, I just don't like that he's 35-36 already.

I just want a defensive minded SF. Mbah Moute would be amazing, but MIL will match any offers I'm sure.

And Toronto just grabbed Pietrus.

[redskinfan]

What happened to Travis Outlaw?
I thought he was gonne be let go by the Nets!

[SenorSpur]

Looks like Grant Hill is holding up the process. I don't understand what's taking him so long to decide. Either he wants the second year and an opportunity to win with the Spurs or he wants to stay in PHX on a 1-year deal and lose games. Just make a decision already!

You want Anthony Parker's corpse, so he can prevent minutes for the development of Anderson/Leonard?



If Spurs lose out on Howard and Hill, Spurs are best off throwing Leonard and Anderson into the fire with Green/Butler being the insurance.

Use the MLE on Landry and pray we get every bounce come April so we have a shot at the 2nd round.

Nice plan. I like it. The Spurs can easily piece meal the SF position together with the resources that they have now. In fact, if they wanted some more offensive firepower, they could try adding Reggie Williams cheaply.

I like the plan because Landry would help shore up the PF position because it's clearly a weak link on this team.

Reggie Williams is 6'6 not 6'4 like people keep saying. Although that is still a little undersized.

According to Hoopshype Phx has upped there offer to entice Hill to comeback..That may be the holdup

Well if that's accurate than yes, no way he could start at the 3. He's a decent scorer off the bench but we have enough of those.

[yavozerb]

For Don Nelson's system Williams probably played a little PF even...

They don't need more firepower offensively (from the perimeter). They need more defense on the perimeter, which Leonard and Anderson bring much more than Reggie "Money-Mase 2.0" Williams. Spurs should leave it on Josh Howard and if he goes elsewhere, stick to the young guns.

Another avenue they should explore is the path to pry Varejao from Cleveland (which has been brought up 20390202 times; McDyess/Blair/Butler works).

[SenorSpur]

The point is I believe the Spurs should move on from the SF discussion and try to obtain another big (Landry, McRoberts, Hawes, or whoever). It's the start of training camp and the frontline is still in flux.

[DesignatedT]

Wasn't there a rumor about Nocioni being amnestied? What do you think about that option if he is?

The Spurs have surely a better chance to win than the suns but it's not like we are contenders even with him, I'm not even sure we are pretenders tbh.

Unfortunatley, I don't think it is in flux in Pop's mind.
Duncan, Splitter, Blair, Bonner, and McDyess. Good enough for the best record in the West last season.

[Brazil]

Best outcome is IMO:

- Spurs find nobody for SF spot
- They don't reconsider RJ amnesty and let him go
- Pop is obliged to trust Leonard
- FO go after a big


- and Bonner retires because he is tired and wants to go back in Canada

[WeNeedLength]

I've been reading this NBA craziness for two days now and last night I had a dream I was reading spurstalk and found a thread saying we traded Duncan and his huge contract with Blair for Kaman I believe. LOL, can't wait for Spurs to actually start playing games already.

"Andrei Kirilenko, 4 years/21.4 million"

Dude is getting paid 4 million euros per year after tax in CSKA which equates to smth like 11-12 mil $ per in the NBA. Dream the on

[TXstbobcat]

Have to love free agency for the spurs this year. It's kind of like Christmas morning and everyone gets toys but us.
