I would MUCH rather get a legit starting big than a defensive SF. You can't teach size, and I'd love to give Leonard as much as playing time as possible.
Now THAT is the question, Grasshopper.

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.
I was a big fan of Anthony Parker coming here - four years ago. I think he's too old now, even though he really did do a pretty solid job on defense last season. But he's a really solid player, and a good locker room guy. And he's cheap. Given our history, and current cap situation, doesn't that sound like a potential pick-up? That's all I'm saying.
A lot of the people we want, we can't afford. If we're going to get someone unexciting, it's more likely that it will be a character guy, at a discount price, on a short contract.
I'd rather have a legit starting big. Someone that demands an ocassional a double team.
And sure, throw Leonard out there, let's find out if we wasted a pick or if he'll be special someday.
What bigs are people thinking? I just haven't heard many names that are worth MLE money.
Yup. None out there I see either.
I didn't say there was a savior out there, just what I would love to have.
This shortened season may be a re-building year.
That's the problem. What might you get for the MLE?
Carl Landry?
Kris Humphries?
In the wake of the Marcus Thornton contract, the full MLE might not be enough and those players probably aren't worth it anyway.
I'd take either one of those tbh. Just because we desperately need help down low.
and wtf is going on with Dice? Shouldn't we know something today?

Richard Jefferson IS at Spurs practice right now
JMcDonald_SAEN Jeff McDonald
Teams have until Dec. 16 to use amnesty for this season, so Jefferson isn't out of woods. But seems he's the starting SF on Day 1 of camp.
In other words, the Spurs failed at finding a replacement SF so they kept RJ.
We will know for sure within a week. Patience....
The Suns waived Vince Carter today. They owe him the guaranteed $4M of his contract's $18M salary.

God no! If that's the only option available, I'd rather keep RJ. He may be heartless and gutless, but his only 31. Vince is old, heartless and gutless. RJ is simply the lesser of two evils - for now anyway.
I rather bring back David Wood tbh...
Isn't Landry or Humphries an upgrade over Blair and Bonner? It's hard to believe that there are absolutely no bigs available (in Spurs price range) that are an immediate improvement over what the Spurs have now in Bonner and Blair.
I also don't understand how getting a good deal on a mediocre SF will be better than overspending (slightly that is) on a big.
It will be interesting to see what sort of deal mediocre players like these get.
If today's Marcus Thornton contract is any indication, these guys will be overpaid too. The owners never seem to learn.
Cry poverty and then spend like drunken sailors.
possible, but mediocre big > mediocre SF
I'll admit I know little about Shawne Williams other than he was close to Bonner for a while last year in 3pt %. What's his market value?
Rip Hamilton is getting released. Someone convince me he can be shoehorned into the starting small forward spot.
Please get Rip
