Which wing player?

[TimDunkem]

None of these players will sniff anything beyond Austin or the inactive list next season.

Let's start welcoming back Mike Finley then.

[dbestpro]

You left out Claver who is the most probable pick.

If I understand this correctly you are saying we are being unrealist? I understand that. I mean chances are that Sam Young will not be at 37. But I believe the Spurs will trade up to get the 18th pick from the T-Wolves.

What I'm saying is trading into the first round is highly unlikely without giving up Parker or Ginobili because we don't have anything else (realistically) worth a 1st round pick

Spurs do not have to trade a player to move up in the draft they can buy a pick. With that said we all know how tight the spurs are with $. Most teams wanting to move down are trying to move down so they can avoid paying another salary and thats why they would prefer $ over a player usually.

So, the only options are late 30s players or totally green ignorant draftees? I think there will be non-marquee FAs available that will fit somewhere in between.

You think a rookie can crack the Spurs rotation without some sort of catastrophic injury situation? That would make you the idiot.

Parker did it.

If the spurs got either Casspi or Young, they'd be our starting SF by the end of November unless they were complete busts, which could be very possible

Maybe young but no way Casspi is ready to start in the NBA. I dont even think Casspi starts on his present euro team .

You're making my argument for me.

[manu_maniac]

I still think Austin Nichols is the best available wing for us.

Incorrect. The Timberwolves have around 8 or 10 players who are 25 or younger. They need a vet and get rid of their picks. Since there is a new GM for the Wolves I can see him giving the first round picks for cheap because h wants to gain some favors to be used in the future.

what Vet will we give for...

Yeah, I've also heard that ATL is shopping their pick (#19), at the cost of taking Claxton's 80% insurance covered salary for next year.

[bigdog]

I can see the Spurs trading/buying a pick in the 18-25 range. I wouldn't be surprised at all.

[Spurtacus]

Sam Young.
