Spurs vs Hornets Game Blog, Preseason Game 2

Finley has indeed played shooting guard for the Spurs, but he's also been a power forward for the Spurs, and he has been a true small forward much of his career, including at least one of his all-star appearances. His size allows him to shift over to the position at any time. It's a much smaller stretch for Fin to play the three than suggesting that Mason is going to be able to come to a new team and step in at point for two months because he did an adequate job of filling in for Gilbert Arenas, who isn't a point guard either. I think he can probably do it, but I'm not so sure that I'm willing to get rid of Vaughn.

I agree with them not getting rid of Vaughn, the reference was to someone saying they are more likely to get rid of Ime than Vaughn (which I do not think either are going any where).

I'm the one that said that. The point was to show how ludicrous the idea was of getting rid of Vaughn before the end of camp. The Spurs are even deeper at small forward than they are at point guard right now, so Vaughn's roster spot is not available if the Spurs decide they want to keep someone. They will end up with a bunch of guys playing in Austin while they see how Hill and Mason run the team.
