Austin Daye has reached agreement on two-year, $2 million deal with Toronto, league source tells Y! Sports.

Could have been a good backup SF with length for us

[Chinook]

Too bad the Spurs couldn't have tried to get Middleton from Detroit in the deal.

[Thomas82]

I bet he has already told the Miami FO that he is coming there, but wants to do it Miami style by building suspense.

I wouldn't put it past him......now watch him get labeled as a front runner.

Devin Harris agrees to a one year deal with the Mavs at the vet's minimum

Take out the word good and your onto something..

[Strategic]

Are there any free agents being tied to the Spurs yet?

I've heard we may be looking to pick up AK47 -

Unless Oden chooses the Spurs, I wouldn't expect that 15th roster spot to be filled before the end of training camp at the earliest.

Do we really need to start that again?

[Chinook]

I wouldn't be surprised at all to see Thompson get a two-year non-guaranteed deal. He definitely seems like a player they'd call up from the d-league mid-season. May as well let him get some minutes in the system now.

[Bruno]

For the 15th spot if Oden signs with another team, I'm gonna go with Bertans signed to a long term cheap contract in January when he will have recovered from his ACL surgery.

I could see that. But I think they'll try out other spots before. No reason to let that spot lie fallow when there is no guarantee that Bertans will be worth a contract this season anyway.

Right now, the Spurs are one Leonard injury away from a very trying stretch with Green and Diaw playing big minutes at the three. I think they'll sign someone if only to help avoid that.

Also, the small-forward buyout market could be pretty lucrative this season.

I would have taken him for the vet min. over the junk backing up Parker now. I guess R.C. is still dreaming about Oden.

[ColinB]

Spurs are probably waiting for washed up Josh Howard to return from injury.

[xmas1997]

Or they may give TMac another shot.

[Beaverfuzz]

He might as well come out and announce that he'll be going to Miami. I hope he can handle that spotlight he would be under.

He already failed in Portland under the spotlight. Ticker tape parade and everything, that was his peak in Portland as it was all downhill from there.

[Texas_Ranger]

Lol Knicks thinking Beno would take a minimum. That probably thinks he's worth 5M.

[TD 21]

Unfortunately, this could very well be true. I'm with Mel though: If we were going to see someone signed to a guaranteed contract, we'd have likely seen it by now or at least heard them linked to someone.

Since they're clearly adverse to in season trades, barring the unforeseen (like a serious injury to one of the top six or the team grossly under performing), don't expect that either. Most likely, we're looking at a repeat of the search for a fifth big for much of the lockout season: A series of non guaranteed contracts and 10 days, in the hopes of striking gold. Once that inevitably doesn't occur, they'll be hoping to get lucky on the buy out front. Specifically, with Butler, who they'll inevitably have to fend off the Thunder and probably Rockets, Lakers and Heat, for.

I wasn't that high on him at the time, but knowing what we know now, they should have just signed Casspi. He'd have been fine as an insurance policy.

If they are not waiting for Oden, which I doubt they are, then I suspect your assessment is exactly what they are doing and going to do. So I don't expect any more moves by the Spurs for a while.

[look_at_g_shred]

Anthony Tolliver wouldn't be a bad pickup

[benefactor]

Spurs don't need anymore bigs...and no...he can't play the 3.
