    The offense is going to be a bunch of pick-n-pops thus penetration for drive-&-kicks isn't going to be a big part of the offense. You just need shooters to keep defenders honest when the guard the PnP. Just look at the Mavs offense w/ PRIME Dirk. It was Jason Terry & Josh Howard handling the ball but they weren't drive & kick guys.
    Penetration for easy scores is necessary though.

    I hate Jason Terry. ing HATE Jason Terry. But I would celebrate him playing for the Spurs right now, for what they could pay him. He's still fast enough to get the corner on defenders, and get to the rim. And he's still fast enough to lead a fast break effectively. Both of those are things every team needs. But if he plays that cheap, it's unlikely it will be any place but Dallas. He'll be in their FO, or on their bench in a suit in a couple of years anyway.

    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.
    -Recent Highlight: Carrying the Pacers to victory over the Mavs (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gXnmLsSLrk)

    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.

    EDIT: 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
    -Recent Highlight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uGP1u9iOjc
    I'd only be interested in Richardson on that list. Only vet additional vet I'd want on the team is a PG ideally. Ideally, the rest of the guys would be under 30.

    Richardson and Parker on the same team.. Uh Oh... All joking aside.. Yeah, Sloan would be decent as a spot up shooter in the SG position but Richardson has the experience.

    Seth Curry available?
    Again, with Marco gone the team needs a PROVEN shooter who Pop can trust in the postseason for situation minutes not some D-league star who could work his way into the rotation in a couple years. If it was replacing Williams w/ Curry for the Austin Daye spot then it would be fine.

    Sloan is a combo guard & is under 30. Besides, Rasual is most likely to land on the Spurs if he's chasing a ring unless another contender lures him w/ more money.

    No, Sloan is a combo guard who can run the offense not necessarily a shooting guard although he's a scoring guard. He's basically a poor-man's version of the current Tony.

    Apparently Ben Gordon was a cancer with the Magic.

    I wonder if Emeka Okafor will make a return this season.

    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.
    These are all good options.

    If anything he would be the designated FT shooter considering Manu's decline. In any case, it seems like the Mavs are trying to bring him back to fill the void left by Monta.

    The Spurs don't need a combo-guard. They need a point-guard. They need someone who can direct the offense when Parker or Manu go out.

    Jameer Nelson. He hit some big shot in the playoffs before. I could see him running the point and patty moving over as shooting guard for stretches.

    Nice find! Between Butler and Richardson, I'll take Richardson. He's had more success in his career, younger and more athletic (in his prime).

    on second thought... Butler has a much better 3 point percentage last season.

    I'm sure these are all serviceable players, but the real question is do any of them fit the Spurs player mold?

    I like Jameer for the backup pg role but he won't come for the min.

    Sloan would be fine with me and combo guard is not really a major detractor. I don't want to play patty next to most pgs because the lineup would be too small. Anyone who is willing to take a third string role the majority of the time probably wouldn't be as good a Sloan for a potential Parker replacement if he gets hurt. We were so fortunate to have Cory. The benefit of the combo is being able to give them a decent role on the team even when the team is healthy, but still having a quality player to fill in if Tp goes down.

    Bruh, they need a 3rd string point guard NOW. They aren't getting a future starting PG or 6th man from the current crop of free agent point guard available for the vet min. Basically, Sloan is a stop gap & the PATFO can scour the market for play-makers next season when they have cap space available.
