Beasley is NOT a Spur. He's had plenty of opportunity to thrive and FAILED every time. On his way out of the NBA ATM... his next move is score 40 a game in Kazakhstan or something.
Seriously, anyone who thinks Beasley could make it with the Spurs should check their head.
Can Pendergraph play the 3? If not, we've sure made some weird roster moves this off-season. I really wish we'd thrown Manu's money at Kirilenko and offered Manu a vet min deal followed by a lucrative assistant coaching role...
Pacers grabbing Rasual Butler was smart - he'd have been a perfect backup SF for us (seems like he can still play since the Pacers signed him).
Giving Manu the vet minimum would be a complete insult. He's also said on numerous occasions the interest to coach wasn't there and that once he retired, he would like to spend more time with his family. In addition, I would take Ginobili over Kirilenko 10 times out of 10 times.
Ruff I agree on most of your post, but concur on the idea of them offering Manu 'a vet min deal' is preposterous. He is a Hall of Fame player that makes millions for the Spurs. He's been one their golden eggs, make no mistake. I still get what you mean, it's just not realistic.
Beasley.......wait, a guy who is picked at #2 (in a very deep draft, btw) and the team gives him away for virtually nothing (2nd rounder) after 2 years. the other team doesn't try to keep him and the team that picks him up and gives him a 3 years contract decides to burn a boatload of money to get rid of him after just one year. so, what's wrong with that picture.
I didn't even think Quentin was that good 8 years ago, why would anyone want him now? Why are people bringing him up? He was always a mediocre defender from what I can recall. I DO NOT WANT ANYONE that has no potential on defense. I can take someone who has potential and is willing to work on his defense, but poor defenders like Q-Rich, no thanks.
DEFENSE, DEFENSE, DEFENSE! That is a must.
only one game, but I would say the Sanikidze option just jumped top of the list.
I've said repeatedly that I would like to see him in training camp over the years. I love his fight - especially for rebounds. I am not sure however, that he can handle the speed of NBA SF's...
when does the Beasley countdown start? when does the heat express an interest ?
Alex Kennedy @AlexKennedyNBA
The Knicks, Bucks and Heat are among the teams that have expressed interest in free agent Hassan Whiteside, according to a source.
Ramona Shelburne @ramonashelburne Lakers have a level of interest in Xavier Henry, from what I hear.
Sam Amick @sam_amick
The Warriors have agreed to a partially-guaranteed deal with USC product/forward Dewayne Dedmon, agent Mike Silverman tells USAT.
Alex Kennedy @AlexKennedyNBA
The Orlando Magic, Dallas Mavericks and Atlanta Hawks have expressed interest in Devin Ebanks, according to a source.
Channing Frye just got cleared by doctors to play. Phoenix is rebuilding. Be nice if Spurs could make a deal for him.
Frye was out for a whole season, so you don't know what he will be capable to deliver at this point.
and there is a good chace that Pendergraph will be able to provide more or less the same at 1/3 of the price.
from the Suns roster Marcus Morris might be somehow interesting, considering what the Spurs would need. but I doubt the Suns make him available. they will likely test this season what a young core of Bledsoe, Len and the Morris twins is able to do and then hope for the big price in the 2014 draft.
Sam Young?

Williams is still a player I think Spurs should go after.Even after spending $117 million in free agency in July and August, Minnesota Timberwolves president of operations Flip Saunders will have another sizable monetary decision to make.
Before his third year begins -- Oct. 31 is the deadline -- the Wolves need to figure out if they will pay forward Derrick Williams $6.3 million for the 2014-15 season.
In a phone conversation earlier this week spanning a few topics, Wolves owner Glen Taylor acknowledged the team isn't quite sure what to do.
"We'll evaluate his summer program, and how he looks coming into camp (which starts Oct. 1)," Taylor said. "I heard he is looking good."
Exercising Williams' fourth-year option is potentially enough to carry the Wolves over the luxury tax and not allow them to sign a free agent for the mid-level exception, according to Grantland.com's Zach Lowe.
Like from the roof of a building, or did he beat her in 2K and thought that was the best analog to a mic-drop?
I still like Williams, but I think bringing him in makes less sense after the Pendergraph signing. I don't really care to have him play the three. That's a lot of money to pay for a fringe rotation player in any event.
i wonder if the wolves are thinking trade or cut? bonner and/or a 2nd aint much. but it's better than nothin. williams beats young and beasley.
the spurs are so wise to stay so far under the tax threshold. salary dump players are literally a bargain bin they can always rummage around.
i really thought williams would be a great nba player. minny seems like they've just been content to jerk him around. they don't like him.
If they don't want to pay him, they will try to trade him over the next month and a half before just not picking up his option. They'll still try to trade him until the deadline and then let him walk. They're not cutting him, as this next season is already guaranteed.
