Lol, I don't think that's going to happen. I could see Harrington, though.

Ginobili plays better at SF
Marco at SG
need a legitimate backup for Tony or someone who can create offense for the bench and when Tony is sitting
Is that his real account? Isn't DeShaun called LeBron overrated few years ago?

so many pussy players this days it's pathetic.
Lol@ Stevenson.
Every FA will sign with the Heat.
Why would anyone want someone as horrible as DeShawn Stevenson?
My thoughts exactly. What a bandwagonner. Years ago, he had beef with Bron, going as far as telling Bron not to "copy" him, regarding his facial hair lol
Manu auditioned during the Finals last year.. sorry sorry.. just had to throw that in there. Stevenson sucks.
Slava Kravtsov waived by the bucks yesterday...

Yes, we have a plethora of big men already, but at 25 yrs old this guys a legit 7 ft. center with definite upside. Seemingly more athletic, mobile and laterally quicker then Baynes or Tiago, it could pay dividends to have someone like this on the roster when Tiago gets traded. Assuming.
Once he clears waivers, if nobody picks him up before then, he could probably be had for the min. or so.
Couldnt find highlights of it but his best game last season was against Indiana:

The feedback I got from Pistons fans was not good about him
They simply said that he is not NBA material
That's disappointing. To be fair though, he only played 25 games in his first NBA season and was the 3rd choice center behind Monroe and Drummond and I think the only reason Milwakuee waived him is because they already have six bigs.
Beasley was arrested for marijuana possessionJohn Gambadoro @Gambo620 1h
My belief here is the Suns waive and stretch Beasley. So he is gone but gets his 9 mill at 1.8 per year over the next 5 years
In related news:
Today, is the off-season!
I can see Suns waiving Beasley if they think he will have a bad influence on their young players but I don't see them using the stretch provision on him. Given their salary cap structure, not stretching his salary is what makes the most sense.
If Beasley is waived, I would be all for Spurs offering him a min contract. It's the same situation than with Oden: a low risk high reward gamble.
^Only with a much higher chance of Beasley being useful for at least some games. At his best, he'd be exactly what the Spurs need. But his team and advanced stats are shockingly bad. I'd be in favor of the Spurs signing him, too, as at least you'd know that Pop and Co. signed off on it.
With Bruno on this one.
Doubt if Pop would want to do anything with a moody chucker, who won't play defense but can score in bunches. I agree it is a low risk, high reward gamble, but Spurs lay so much emphasis on chemistry and on the court team play, I doubt they will take a flyer on Beasley.
Beasley is one of those players that honestly believes he is better than MJ.
Please.
Beasley has zero reason to change anything, he has made the same mistakes in 3 different teams and he's still paid ridiculous money 5 years into his nba career. What's the incentive to change at this point?
Pop won't certainly go after him telling "we want you to play like you did last year". He would tell him that they will ask from him to try more defensively and to be more team oriented offensively. If Beasley isn't fine with that, then he wouldn't sign with Spurs. If Beasley agrees to change his game but it didn't work out for some reasons, Spurs could easily waive him. Anyway, let's see first if Suns waive Beasley.
Regarding the chemistry, I find it's important for Spurs to start this season with a new hope after the heartbreaking loss last year. Spurs have already tweak a little their team with Belinelli and Pendergraph and some players like Leonard, Joseph, De Colo or Baynes might have a bigger impact, but I doubt it's enough. If Spurs players were in the mindset "we look better than last season", it certainly would help them to start with a fresh mind and not being stuck on last season huge disappointment. That's a reason why I was so hard on Spurs FO for not getting Kirilenko, Spurs really needs some new blood to start battling again for a le. I don't want the 2013 run being remember as Duncan's wonderful but very cruel swan song.
