The Spurs will go after a SF in 2 seasons, that's about how long it takes for them to address a need. Thomas will probably be sent to the D league soon with nando for god knows what reason
I get the feeling Baynes and Bonner are on their way out soon. Hopefully for an SF.

Bonner is Pop's personal jesus, he will never be traded, in fact because kawhi was out Pop got giddy and put Bonner out there for way too many minutes
Hopefully it's Bonner.
We'll see but losing Leonard and Green should really push them to trade for a SF.
The team is in desperate need of an athletic SF so I think he will be traded. I know ST likes to say Bonner is Pop's favorite, but Bonner has an expiring contract and does have some skill that could be intriguing to some teams. I don't think the team would risk keeping him just because Pop likes him.
The Spurs had a deficiency during the off season at SF and did nothing to try to get one, this included not cutting bonner to save cash and then signing ayres to his deal which ate up cash.. Sometimes the Spurs FO is stupid, they make mistakes. I don't think they trade him, thinking he spaces the floor for playoff rotations. Spurs will probably roll with what they have.
This makes a ton of sense but FO doesn't always make moves that make sense, we might see them pick up another PF/C or another Guard and try to convert them.
Wasn't Bonner's contract only partially guaranteed at the time? A 4M expiring contract is more intriguing than a 1M expiring so I can understand why they chose to wait. Of course, if they don't trade him, I am getting excited about nothing. But I won't hold out hope until the deadline passes.
The Ayres signing is a head scratcher. Maybe the Spurs thought they could strike gold like they did with Green, but he's obviously not a good player.
Just get someone that can defends 2s/3s ASAP. Tbh I bet they bring Splitter back for Houston. If/when that happens the D will improve to average.
so they can get a SF its time for deculo to go tbh dats for sure
Without getting into the underwhelming offseason and getting into Tiago taking too much and Ayres etc.. anyone that they sign right now is just a stop gap who probably won't even get much playing time as they shuffle the roster around. They won't get involved in the offense and they won't learn the defensive rotations.. Spurs will just roll with what they have and get torched during the road trip.
RC has made a phone call to Bandera Student Milem Boyle to cover the SF position.
We need to kick Baynes and Thomas / still we do not use them/. Take from free agent Tyrus Thomas /his athletic young talanted better than Ayres/ and Lamar Odom / old but gold, his all rounder just like Boris also he can play at SF/PF/. And trade Bonner+CoJo+Colo for athletic big black monkey
I still remember Chicago rolling with Tyrus over Aldridge
Nah, the team HAS to view Thomas as at least having some potential at the three. It literally makes no sense to sign him as a big when it takes two injuries to bigs and garbage time for him to see the floor.
And to think, the Pacers would have given up a first (or Plumlee) just to take back Bonner for Gerald Green.
They popped off and bought Thomas because he was torching it from 3 and Boris was hurt and they thought it could be long term. Then they figured why cut him, he could be useful next season as a bench guy but they don't buy into Thomas, he got run against The Bucks and that's probably all we will see of him till maybe late March when we are resting up players.
That's the difficult part for Spur fans. He plays for Utah. leads the league at 42.7% for the three, and is hated by most Spur fans. Yes, it is RJ.
See, I don't buy that explanation. I used to, but it's clear they don't view him as able to crack the big rotation this season. Bonner, Duncan, Baynes and Splitter have each missed time since Malcolm was signed, and he's hasn't once been higher than the fourth big. I don't think they ever planned on him playing for Diaw.
They probably just wanted to lock up what they considered a good prospect. But for the life of me, I don't know why they like him so much.
Nice slam poetry!
there lets go

Maybe they're legitimately worried that Leonard may choose to leave the Spurs and made the move to try to appease him a bit. I'm fairly certain the reason they signed him the first time was to help Leonard feel more comfortable.
What are the odds we drop Malcolm Thomas tomorrow and sign Josh Howard?
Thomas has a guaranteed contract for the rest of the season. The only thing the Spurs could do is trade.
