What would you prioritize, a backup 5 or a backup wing (2/3)?

[tholdren]

Absorb Bazemore into one of those roster spots and you have $6,193,747 to pay Duncan. Works out perfect.

cool spreadsheet

[Uriel]

Assuming Duncan's contract takes up the rest of our capspace, we'll be limited to offering only the minimum to prospective free agents. As such, there's no reason for us to prioritize either a 5 or a wing. We can only offer both the same amount of money anyway, so why not get both?

[cutewizard]

Highly doubt we want Boozer now that we have West. Priority should be 1. 7 ft bruiser 2. project wing that can shoot 3's 3. 3rd string PG (either a vet or a high energy defensive guy).

this is what we need right now

may the good spirits of the universe provide, yes!

[Nathan89]

6'3 with a 7' wingspan... Damn

6'3.75 without shoes so 6'5 with shoes. Still a nice wingspan though.

[Kawhitstorm]

Sure would be nice if they could talk the Hawks out of Bazemore in the Splitter trade.

They lost Carroll & lack depth at the wing position (esp defenders) so no way they give him up.

[Johnny RIngo]

wing player that can shoot

[Kawhitstorm]

6'3 with a 7' wingspan... Damn

Still couldn't block Manu's game winner:

[Kawhitstorm]

wing player that can shoot

There are a bunch of wing players that can shoot....it's just that most of them are below average defenders.

[MaNu4Tres]

They lost Carroll & lack depth at the wing position (esp defenders) so no way they give him up.

They already have Korver/Thabo. They just signed Holiday and traded for Hardaway Jr. Both play SG and Schroder will play some minutes at SG as well.

[SpursBig3s]

Doesn't Bazemore have a crazy wingspan too?

I've been intrigued w/ Bazemore I won't lie. We could do much worse

[UNT Eagles 2016]

If we could work a 3 way we might be able to get Anderson /Chalmers to take care of 2 of the 3 needs.

And who takes care of the 3rd? I hear your mom has quality experience in that department, tbh...

(But seriously, no thanks to that hipster thug Birdman)

[SpursBig3s]

For the bigs I expect a boring name, be it a Nazr Mohammed type or a Matt Bonner. With the shooting touch of Aldridge and West being added to the rotation, I think they go more the Mohammed route, a banger with 6 fouls who is up for playing out the clock in blowouts and perhaps end of quarter situations if someone is in foul trouble.

I wouldn't say no to Mohammed. Like I said about Bazemore, we could do alot worse

[100%duncan]

Bazemore would be nice. But I doubt hes included in the trade

[Obstructed_View]

At the 2 guard, I'd go with Dairis Bertans. He's got a huge motor and knows the Spurs game better than any domestics that might be available. Last year he shot 56% from two, 38% from three and 82% from the line. He's 6'4" and had four steals in yesterday's Summer League game. If you liked Belinelli, you'd like this guy.

But Bertans might warrant more than the minimum which the Spurs couldn't do.

I agree. Bertans looks like he could play a little of either guard position, which allows for interesting lineups as well. He's a pretty tenacious defender and makes good plays with his feet.

Is his buyout still 220k? Does that make a difference?

[TD 21]

Even if they sit on the end of the bench every game (barring a blowout) and make 7.5 million a year?

Diaw won't ''sit on the end of the bench every game''. He'll still be the first big off the bench. The difference is, he's went from the co second big to the clear third big and as such, he'll probably play five to seven less mpg.

[rastaspur]

Pass on boozer. He is morally bankrupt imo. Reneging on a handshake deal with a blind man. Probably pissed in the seeing eye dogs face as he left the room to add insult to injury. Hate this dude. Still comes now where close to Karl Malone. That big ass Charlie pride wannabe better never step out into a street if I'm anywhere around. I will run his ass over without hesitating.

[DAF86]

We are pretty thin on the wings, tbh. That should be the priority, preferrably a 6'7''/6'8'' guy.

[admiralsnackbar]

Diaw won't ''sit on the end of the bench every game''. He'll still be the first big off the bench. The difference is, he's went from the co second big to the clear third big and as such, he'll probably play five to seven less mpg.

Or Duncan will absorb that resting time and Diaw will be on the floor to enable West or Aldridge and generally play the role of Manu (assuming Manu will probably be playing far fewer minutes himself).

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

We badly need another swing to cover Manu/KA. If Dorrell Wright is still out there, sign him up!

[CGD]

Still not sure why LJC and Mulitunov wouldn't fit the bill tbqh

[spurraider21]

starting point guard, tbh...

[yavozerb]

Agree with some on combo 2/3 player being a need at this time. I can see Diaw playing more sf this season as well..

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Diaw won't ''sit on the end of the bench every game''. He'll still be the first big off the bench. The difference is, he's went from the co second big to the clear third big and as such, he'll probably play five to seven less mpg.

Robert Horry role?

LMA = Tim
Tim = Rasho
Diaw = Horry
West = Nazr or Elson (obviously smaller though)

Kawhi = Manu
Green = Bowen
Manu = Barry or Finley
Mills = Parker
Parker = Vaughn or Udrih
Bonner = Bonner

Championship?

This is a really good point. I'd say 5 minutes less at max, but he's now going to be more of a true bench player.

[TXstbobcat]

This is a really good point. I'd say 5 minutes less at max, but he's now going to be more of a true bench player. Isn't this a contract year for Bobo?

I like contract year Bobo!

Bobo has 2 more fully guaranteed years and the year after that is a team option for 7.5 million
