alright who's next? austin rivers as 3rd pg, fredette?![]()
So how many bigmen do we still need to sign?
Already got four confirmed... Do we need another or shall we go for Bonner?
We could use a beefy pure center as our top 4s are all PF's by nature (except maybe Timmy).
Also another PG wouldn't hurt.
One more ball handler/ PG/ combo guard type of player would make this a perfect off season.
No more old players, though..
Eh, Lakers will buy out Hibbert sometime in December or January, pick him up on the cheap then. Just gotta keep a seat warm for him until then.
Spurs looking for a 3rd pg and depth at sg/sf and backup center
Luke Ridnour still floating around?![]()
Eh, I wouldn't mind the Spurs filling out their roster with ring-hungry vets. There won't be many minutes available to develop a young player. If Anderson shows that he's ready with his play in summer league, that'll probably be the extent of the young minutes this season.
It was different a couple years ago when there were minutes up for grabs, tbh.
Ridnour would be bought out, but I'd rather have Jimmer between the two. He's younger, and has more upside, but not much more. I'd also say Jameer Nelson would be a great signing.

Spurs, amazingly, still have five roster spots to fill. Let's see how much more minimum magic they have left after landing David West
should they go after ray allen?
timvp, pink this man.
You'd be surprised where minutes peak through. The Spurs will have a fair bit of playing time with six of their top 10 players over 30 by the start of the season. They'll need bodies, and I'd rather those spot minutes go toward players who are getting some burn in Austin rather than more 30-plus folks. The exception is that I'd like a veteran play-maker. I don't know if there's on available, though. Maybe a Prigioni-like guy from overseas?
Doesn't have to be "young", but I would rather see players at the 26-30 year old age rather than Caron Butler or Tayshaun Prince, though..
But ya, I think it will be Anderson and that's fine with me..
I know its crazy, but with a roster this good, I'd call Larry Sanders and see if he is available for the minimum. Sure, he's a head case, but you already got a deep front court and he is a legit defense center. Again, if we weren't so deep in the front court, I would go conservative, but why not swing for the fences in a low risk move. As for pg, I'm for Jameer first, and if not, then Jimmer second. Both can shoot and probably run a pick and roll with Davis, Duncan, and LMA well enough to make it a top notch weapon.
Prince or Butler is enough.
With West in I'd like to see Perkins or Stoudemire. Hansborough could be hustle guy that I could definitely see as a Spurs-type player.
I would like to go after Aaron Brooks, Dorell Wright and a 7 footer. I like Brooks because he's a massive scoring punch off the bench but equally important is how he scores. He's still a really good at penetrating and frankly would automatically be our best one (barring a parker return-to-form). Last year one of our problems was our inability to successfully drive to execute the drive and kick. Brooks would help tremendously. Wright is a long, still athletic player that would give us a great backup for kawhi. He's good at the corner three. While definitely not the offensive threat marco was, he would likely provide strong defense that wasn't there from our bench last season. Any offense from him would just be gravy. He'd produce a net positive value more consistently than Marco did I believe. And we need to go after any competent 7 footer for size.
