the jazz want Okur around to mentor Kanter and help his transition.
Heard rumors of that too. If the Spurs were gonna pickup a big, the Jazz would be the team to make a deal with. The question would be, would the Jazz be willing to make a trade with a conference rival?

The front line in Utah is jam packed. They almost have to make a trade if they want to usher in the Kanter/Favors era. If Pop could find some way to part with Bonner the Spurs could do a Dice/Bonner for Millsap. That would help Utah in a pretty big way financially and it would give the Spurs a rotation PF.
But there is the whole trading Bonner thing.......
LOL like the Jazz would accept that trade. WTF are you smoking?
The Kings have claimed Outlaw off of waivers. They have even more of a logjam at 2/3 than the Bucks.
In this game of free agent musical chairs, the music has stopped and the Spurs are still standing.
Unbelieveable! And you know he probably signed for the minimum since I think that's all the Lakers had left.
That's not happening. Blair and McDyess for Millsap is more realistic. But I wouldn't even do that. Would that significantly improve the Spurs fortunes this season or next? I doubt it. Blair is younger, significantly cheaper and has a high enough upside to eventually at least be in Millsap's class. So if it doesn't improve their fortunes significantly short term, he's not a significantly better building block long term and he makes significantly more, then what's the point?
Jefferson makes far more sense.
Boston is officially looking for a starting sf. RJ for Green's 1 year contract for 9 mil would work. Boston would get there starting SF and the spurs save there amnesty for Bonner..
Sans TJ, have you turdhounds felt enough pain yet?
muhahahahahahahaha!!!
Green's contract has been voided.
Celtics retain his rights as an RFA for next summer.
You should probably look at the amount of money Utah would save in that trade. With a couple of outstanding young front line players there is no reason for them to keep Millsap around.
Sure Jefferson makes more sense...but the Spurs can't trade for him apart from including RJ, which we both know is not going to happen. Your Blair/Dice idea doesn't work salary-wise either. It would have to be Bonner for the money to work.
Obviously not. Any chance of that happening was gone with the Howard signing.
I realize that, I was just talking as a base. Throw in Green and it works.
Oh...and I'd trade Blair for Millsap in a heartbeat. Millsap actually has legit PF size and can shoot. I don't see Blair ever having either. Millsap also is a huge expiring for next season if it doesn't work out with him.
It's not earth shaking, but I don't see much else the Spurs can do with their current situation.
(9-10 million range) for what Tim brings to the team in 2011-2012 is very generous. However, we all can agree that he was worth every penny we paid him on his last contract. So, if the last year is 18 or 20 million, we just have to deal with it. Bone on Bone.
We'll see what he wants after this year.
Anybody with a half a brain would.
& Bene has always had at least that much.
This is embarrassing. Lakers and Spurs fans used to argue about who had the better team. Now, its who sucks more or who's more miserable.
LOL, Lakers trade Odom for nothing but a trade exception to the team that humiliated and swept them. -- The friggin Mavericks no less...Derek Fisher is STILL your pg...Matt Barnes was once considered a significant signing...
Spurs sign TJ Ford.....crickets....Spurs keep RJ.....crickets....sadness....Bonner still on roster....Neal out a few weeks....Dice still a mystery..
At least we get to see Leonard tonight. I think.
If he got over himself... not a sure thing, apparently...
Troy Murphy would have been an upgrade over Bonner.. he is pretty much Bonner with rebounding and real PF size.
Hey, FO, do a secret deal and extend his ass if it doesn't work out.
There's no question that Millsap is the better player right now. I'm just not convinced that he'd change the Spurs fortunes. So considering the fact that Blair makes roughly $6.7 million less this season, is 4 years younger and has an upside to where it's not difficult to imagine him at least being in Millsap's class in the not too distant future, it doesn't make much sense.
And as far as Millsap "actually having legit PF size", according to Draftexpress, Millsap is 6-7.25 in shoes and Blair is 6-6.5 in shoes.
It would be nice to get rid of Blair just because he has the same mentally draining effect as RJ and Bonner on the team and fans..
I agree. However, I have a theory...This is embarrassing. Lakers and Spurs fans used to argue about who had the better team. Now, its who sucks more or who's more miserable.

The Spurs are going w/ the status quo, as much as possible, THIS year for the hopes that next year they will make a HUGE splash. They will amnesty RJ at the end of this year and won't be paying TD or Ginobili most likely. They'll be probably 50+ million under the cap.
And, they'll trade TP for a higher draft pick (I would've done it this year to the Clippers or now, NO).
Then, they'll rebuild from the ground up like they did w/ TD.
Last center option?
@WojYahooNBA
Adrian Wojnarowski With center Sean Williams bailing on Maccabi Haifa contract for "personal reasons," expect NBA deal on horizon. Mavs wouldn't be a surprise.
There is only one good center left on the market: Samuel Dalembert.
