Andre Miller?!?!?!
More like he doesn't like what he sees from Simmons/Ray to be the 12th/13th man on a playoff roster considering Manu/Tony are injury prone.
Andre Miller?!?!?!
It's about K-Mart but they are most likely low-balling him considering that Glen Taylor said they won't buy him out unless he initiates it.
Yeah, mostly insurance moves..Simmons in particular looks to be headed to the dog house playing dumb like a turnover-waiting-to-happen the past couple of weeks.
Probably true. Bummer. Your post about Martin's time with the Thunder was getting me kind of excited about the guy.
ing minny, man. All they had to do was let him go and then sign with us to be a crucial peice to our success in our championship run and possibly key to getting past GSW. Whats so hard about that?
I support this move. Green and Mills have been streaky from the outside. He can also create his own shot or get fouled if necessary.
I wish his defense was better, but if he is as efficient as he was with the Thunder, he could really make defenses scramble without even touching the ball.
Isn't he a40 yr old PG. Not really familiar with him. He's so old and I have been following the NBA last two years. I haven't really seen him, but high BBIQ, a know passer?
PATFO added Bayens/T-Mac mid-season back in 2013 so "ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!"-(c) Garnett
Yes it's unfortunate, but he's been terrible with more playing time and the mistakes are on both ends.
Ugh... no thanks. Especially if it takes minutes from Simmons.
But I understand I guess, bc the Spurs probably think Manu and Butler are done, Green is terrible, and Simmons is a rookie.
Who do the Spurs cut? Simmons? Ginobili? Butler? I don't want Rasual to leave because I like his defensive effort. Obviously McCallum is gone with the Miller signing. So who gets cut now?
I like K-Mart but lol. "PPG" oh woooow!!!!
How is Butler done? The guy is always a positive on the court. And as for Danny, he hasn't been consistent but he's definitely turned a corner. Simmons is the one who's been beyond horrible for a while now.
I like Simmons but he isn't contributing in the playoffs this year. Next year will be his moment to show what he's got.
No worries, I'll take care of Bonner.
Sources: Spurs have made strongest pitch for Kevin Martin

The San Antonio Spurs have emerged as strong contenders to sign Kevin Martinif the veteran shooting guard secures his expected buyout from the Minnesota Timberwolves, according to league sources.
Sources said Saturday that the Spurs have made the strongest pitch among the various playoff contenders chasing Martin, who has been in advanced negotiations on a contract buyout with Minnesota.

Martin and the Timberwolves have until midnight ET Tuesday to part ways in order for Martin to be playoff-eligible for his next team.
The Cleveland Cavaliers, Dallas Mavericks and Houston Rockets, sources say, are also among the known suitors for the 12-year veteran, who has averaged 17.6 points in 30.5 minutes per game in his career.
Martin is an established scorer who instantly became an appealing target for a number of playoff-likely teams once his name surfaced on the buyout market after staying put at the trade deadline.
On Thursday, the Wolves bought out another veteran guard -- Andre Miller -- to free the 39-year-old to seek employment with a playoff-hopeful team. Miller cleared waivers Saturday. He has also drawn interest from the Spurs and the Miami Heat, among others.
Like Miller, Martin has been used sparingly this season by the Wolves, who have fully focused on developing their young players in the wake of their inability to build on an 8-8 start. But the 33-year-old long has been regarded as a high-efficiency player with a propensity to get to the free throw line. He's also a lifetime .385 shooter from 3-point range.
I don't want the Cavs getting him. Will take him... but who gets cut? I'd rather cut Anderson than Simmons honestly
If anything, he's still an excellent FT shooter so we won't have to hold out breathes when Manu/Tony are splitting FTs.
Is he only 40? Wow, I thought I remembered seeing him against the Big O.
Yes, good ball handler with high BBIQ, but quicks that will make Kyle look like Gary Payton.
Do you think Spurs are still persuing this after miller signing? If so Id say ray and matt get cut, although it would be hard for Pop let him get cut. Butler has been playing well too.
I didn't remember that Baynes was a mid-season acquisition. I'll take Andre and Kevin for Ray and Bonner. That's good.
Yes, IF Martin is bought out and IF he decides to sign with the Spurs, I think they would quickly release Bonner or Butler for him.
Go back to the beginning of the season and see what you ass clowns said when I posted about it.
