Roster - Remaining Spots

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

I would guess the Spurs' interest in the last wing position is either in Reggie Williams, Dairis Bertans or Ryan Broekhoff. I assume we won't see that signing happen at least til SL is over on the 20th.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

How far were you willing to go to get Aldridge in terms of letting players go?

“The planning of it, to move Tiago and not know you were going to get LaMarcus, that was a significant risk. Especially someone who had had a big part of a lot of success we’ve had in this building. So the planning that went into the sequencing, the alignment of the contracts, there were a lot of decisions. We’ll miss the relationships we had with Marco and with Cory and with Aron, and Tiago. Losing those guys…and Jeff Ayres, we don’t know what’s going to happen yet. And Matt. So losing those relationships, not only a big part of the success but the chemistry and the culture of the group, you have to continue to recognize there will be some losses in this process. It’s never easy.”

Makes it sound like Bonner is done as a Spur.

[Kineto]

we have seen a lot of signing in a small amount of time, but i guess it's over now.

Spurs have to use their cap space before than Green and Leonard sign their new contract, but there's no need to hurry now.

My guess is that they will maybe sign Bonner, and that the remaining slots will be filled after the training camp. (and that they will keep one roster spot open for buyout player in february)

Looking at wing FA, Dorell Wright might be the best available to fill Spurs needs right now. Aside of him, there are some old vets like Jason Richardson and Tayshaun Prince. There are also some players with huge question marks regarding their health Delfino or Fields.

The Spurs have signed free agent guard Jonathon Simmons to a two-year, veteran-minimum deal, sources tell RealGM. Second year team option.

[cd98]

Who?

[lmbebo]

Who?

I concur.

Edit - looks like he may have played with the Toros. may be a TC invite.

[TheMulletMan3000]

Who?

Only RC knows

It would be a good pick up if true. He is athletic and defends well. HE can also shoot the 3 and can get his own shot. The only downside I saw of him was ballhandling. More TO prone than KA, but neither guy will be asked to create like they did in the d'league.

Thanks for the info

So can someone clear out how the roster looks like as fo now with today signings?

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Extremely surprised/impressed? they've gone on a completely different path from signing vets for the last spots and went with McCallum, Marjanovic and Simmons.

Duncan/Diaw/Marjanovic
Aldridge/West
Leonard/Anderson
Green/Ginobili/Simmons
Parker/Mills/McCallum

You could switch Diaw and West if you want. Probably makes no difference.

Unbelievable offseason!

Parker/Mills/McCallum
Green/Ginobili/Simmons
Leonard/Anderson

I like the move... bring in young guys for continuity and upside.

[Mr. Body]

Give a younger player a shot. If they suck and we still need Matty, go to the nearest Subway sandwiches to find him.

RC on Errors and Bonner:

Sounds like they don't know whats going to happen with Ayers and Boner.

[spursince#99]

Bonner will be back.

[CaptainLate]

...he's the only young project guy in the roster. The spurs see something in him that make him worth developing.

Re: KA, everyone was so WOWED that he dropped to us in the draft. Looking more and more like those teams knew better than to waste a pick.

[Big Empty]

WOOOHOOO NO MATT BONNER!!!!

[mbass]

WOOOHOOO NO MATT BONNER!!!!

That's not how I interpreted the comment - Matt looks like an undetermined at this point, as does Ayres.
