Roster - Remaining Spots

[ceperez]

Pretty sure that won't be happening after the McCallum trade....

I agree. Spurs already have their backup point guard.

[Spur-Addict]

I think he would be perfect to replace Manu in the future. Maybe the Spurs can lure him with a 2 year deal (PO in 2nd). He is strongly considering going back to Europe and he just might stay for a shot to play with the Spurs. If he works out, the Spurs can pay him next year and he can take over for Manu full-time.

And yeah, with the Cap going to 70mil, the Spurs don't have to use the Room Exception on Manu. They can resign him with cap space if they renounce Bonner and cut Williams. They can always resign Bonner at the Vet min.

Knicks only have to the room to offer Shved. So maybe the Spurs can swoop in and make him an offer.

It makes even more sense from a health perspective. Hypothetically, if Parker or Manu are injured for any length of time, I'd much rather have Shved starting than Patty or McCallum. And obviously he would slide right into Manu's role in the bench scenario. And as far as the current roster makeup goes, I'm much more concerned about the longevity of the pivotal guards as opposed to our pivotal bigs. I'd much rather pick a big off the scrap heap and have a hole filler at guard/wing, than have a better than average, to slightly better than average center who isn't going to see much court time anyways. And, more importantly, will not be as serviceable as Shved in a pinch in regards to a real basketball situation.

[FireMicoHalili]

There's Carlos Delfino (washed up), Xavier Henry (rarely healthy), Jason Richardson (old as balls), Marcus Thornton (no defense), Alexey Shved (low BBIQ, no D), JR Smith (out of price range), Jason Terry (......) for a reserve shooter. Hoping Jarell Eddie pans out.

FO center there's Seraphin (out of price range), Larry Sanders (unstable), Cole Aldrich, Greg Smith, Henry Sims, Joel Freeland, Rhan Hollins, Jeff Withey, and D-Leaguers (Willie Reed, Jerelle Benimo ).

Wonder where the Spurs pick up a legit C. Didn't expect them to turn a 2nd rounder into McCallum.

[Kawhitstorm]

Rasual Butler is most like going to be Marco's replacement.

That's depressing.

I'll take my chances with Austin Daye.

[Marcus Bryant]

That's depressing.

I'll take my chances with Austin Daye.

Well, maybe if the Spurs didn't sign Aldridge we could've had Bellinellieieiei back.

Goodbye, cruel world.

[Darkwaters]

That's depressing.

I'll take my chances with Austin Daye.

Oh...were you totally serious about Austin Daye?




I figured you were just be snarky and ironic early. I was pretty sure everybody had realized that Austin Daye is fool's gold by now.

[SpursFan86]

He'd be a really solid backup 3 if we could get him.

[picnroll]

OKC will likely have to get rid of Novak to retain Canter

[monkeypunk]

He'd be a really solid backup 3 if we could get him.

I'd like him too but too many teams with cap room right now and he doesn't seem the type to take less to get a ring...

[NASpurs]

People were saying the same thing for Gerald Green and he went to Miami for a 1 yr/minimum contract.

Lowe talking about Teletovic:

[DPG21920]

Haven't heard anything about Bargnani - wonder if he's going to Europe? Mirza is interesting, especially talent wise for the price, but is it the biggest fit/need on a team with plenty of talent already?

I would imagine not having to rely on Kyle Anderson would be the next most important thing. Getting that additional SG/SF.

[Mr. Body]

Teletovic would be great, IMO. Nice bench player. If he's on, ride him. Plus advances our deleted foreigner stock.

[Mouth is Bleeding]

would have liked Teletubbyvic not long ago but we're too loaded at 4 now even if provides something different as specialist stretch 4.

But can't see him log many minutes at 3 at all.

Bargnani is maybe the worst rebounder of his size ever. Really astoundingly bad.

[Chinook]

Spurs potentially have the room exception for Teletovic. But I don't love the idea of getting yet another shooting PF at all.

[Marcus Bryant]

Lowe talking about Teletovic:

Sounds good. Decent size and has a little range. Farewell thee Bonner.

[DPG21920]

Agreed - talent wise, it's really hard to say no to Mirza for that money, but Spurs have talent. They need fit more than talent. Need a SG/SF that can hit a 3 to a reasonable degree and at least tries to defend (Wright is my guess at this point).

[TheCerebral1]

Will Barton, KJ McDaniels, Glenn Robinson III, Alexey Shved, Marcus Thornton, Kostas Papanikolaou . Looking through lists.

[Splits]

Thunder are rumored to be salary dumping PJ3, he'd be worth a flier

[spursistan]

Didn't Teletovic have blood clots in his lung? has he recovered or should that be a red flag?

[Chinook]

Salary dumping is not the same thing as cutting. He'll be on someone else's roster. Not really what the Spurs need at this point. Huestis maybe, though.

[SpursFan86]

I was kind of under the impression Teletovic could play the 3 with no problems. Am I mistaken?

I've said this multiple times, but Dorell Wright is still a really good option IMO. I think I read somewhere that he wants to return to Miami, though...so I'm not so sure about that. We'd have more money to offer him in that case as I'm fairly sure Miami could only give him the minimum.

[Bruno]

If Spurs cut Reggie Williams, They will have about $1.8M in cap space. Their next move (signing West, Manu, Green or Kawhi) willbasically take away that space.

We will see if they wait a little before making this next signing to see what they can do with that space.
