Spurs always one move ahead, would be a solid pickup but we lack the athleticism needed to go up against the Thunders and Rockets of the league. Let's see how LJC keeps playing in the summer league.
So basically, the team just need a backup center who can protect the rim, a shooter to replace Marco & a 3rd string point guard.
Jermaine O'Neal: I know he's injury prone & can't play 82 games but the team just need a SITUATIONAL big (ala Ezeli) to throw at Dwight/Marc Gasol in the playoffs. He has had a year off (got injured late in the 2014 reg season) so his body should be able to give the team a solid 10-15 minute when called upon. He also has beef w/ Dwight & doesn't back down.
-Recent Highlight: JO dominating KG in 2014 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PwzPE6bJqM)
Jason Richardson: Has barely played for the past 3 season (52 games) but dude can score as well as anyone that can be had for a vet min. He came back from a meniscus injury late the past season & had a couple of scoring binges plus, Brett Brown has nothing but good things to say about him.
. He could be a 10-15 Michael Finley type player since he still can shoot the rock. Oh, he also SUPPOSEDLY got Nash's wife pregnant so more ammo to piss off the Suns fan base.
-Recent Highlight: J-Rich torching Dion Waiters & almost beating OKC (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PwzPE6bJqM)
Donald Sloan: A guys that has bounced around the league but was able to show he belongs in the league early this past season when he was starting the Pacers. He doesn't have range ala CoJo nor is he a tenacious defender but the guy can get into the paint & isn't hesitant on offense unlike CoJo.

Bonus: Ben Gordon was recently waived by the Magic to save money but dude is healthy & happens to be a DEADLY corner 3 point shooter. I wouldn't mind him in a Gary Neal type role since he's a proven playoff performer. Automatic at the FT line.
-Recent Highlight: Doin' work against the Raptors (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dR2obdXt_bY)
For the remaining 2 spots: Jean Charles could be the situational backup wing defender ala Aminu & just leave one spot open for potential buyout/10-day contracts.
I would also like to add Rasual Butler to the mix as Marco's replacement. He stated a couple of games in December for the Wizard when Pierce was injured & was very serviceable. He's friends w/ D-West & at the end of his career so I think he would be willing to sign for the vet min. Oh yeah, he isn't scared of Ibaka: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UC3vtFhVl7o

I would not mind Ben Gordon at all. Yes, he has been pretty bad, but I think he can still be at worst an average 3PT shooter and if he's in a good system, he might have a shot at being back to a really good 3PT shooter.
I would rather go for Aaron Brooks first.
He's back with Houston.
Prince and Brooks
Jason Richardson is pretty intriguing, could replace Belli's shooting off the bench. I would like to see someone younger in that spot though. Someone like Gerald Green or Wayne Ellington who Danny Green has obvious ties to. Also for the backup Center spot I'd like Emeka Okafor, or Kevin Seraphin. Should just give 3rd PG spot to Nate Wolters or as you mentioned Donald Sloan. Can't do worse there.
I wonder if it is going to take some time to fill out the roster because most of these guys are probably shopping around for something more than the minimum. Once they exhaust all options, then I think they are included to take the minimum with the Spurs over most other teams.
Heard Ray Allen reached out & expressed interest in joining the SPURS!!
Aaron Brooks and Gerald Green.
Do it, PATFO.
ben gordon is just lazy. hasn't been anything special since he left chicago. PASS. Talented, but really effing lazy.
O'neal probably won't come out of retirement. I think the Mavs tried to lure him out last year, but he didn't want to.
Haven't seen Richarson since he's come back from multiple injuries, etc. Don't know what he can't and can do anymore.
Aaron brooks just signed a 1 year deal with someone ...
Brooks to chicago bulls
WOuld Green take the vet min though? I could see a team giving him like a 3 year 9 mill contract just based on his athleticism.
Spurs need to get this guy as their center:

^ agree with post above. Spurs will be patient and see what opportunities fall to them. Also there is still plenty of teams with capspace so I wouldn't be surprised if some of these targets get fairly decent offers yet.
Jason Smith to Orlando for 1/4.5
I think Brooks resigned with the Bulls, Gerald Green thoooo. Sign him up
LIL Nate Robinson?
bargnani to replace bonner
We need a ball handler badly. jameer nelson would be nice. The only problem is that you cant play him and patty together
That's why I ignore all the Gerald Green suggestions.... he is just too expensive.
He's a minimum guy... but at his age, does he have any ahtleticism left?
From what I read, Nelson wants to join a contender as a starter ....Doesn't want to be a backup to anyone.
Not at all. Just a deadly shooter if left open, which there's a lot of those out there.
