    The issue that troubles me most is positioning relative to the salary cap along with the need to resign Manu. Even if we package Finley/Bonner/Mason for a single $10 million player that is worth that much, we just can't afford to have too many of those type of salaries on the roster. We already have Jefferson's $15 million on the books for 2010. Another $10 million salary player and I think we'd have to kiss Manu goodbye. If Manu comes back strong, we stand a chance to reach a mutually beneficial contract extension that lets him retire a Spur and he should be more than willing to structure the contract the most beneficial (within reason) way to meet the team's salary cap needs in the coming years.

    So the big barrier here is why would anyone give up a valuable player unless they could salary dump on us? The only way I see it happening is if they can fill out their roster with what they perceive as quality veteran players at reasonable salaries. Not impossible, but not highly likely either. Even taking on a $6-7 million player for just Finley/Bonner creates significant salary cap issues if the incoming contract is not also an expiring one, from where I sit.

    Mason is the guy you want taking the final shot for you. Not against you.he stays.
    he wont be hittin against the spurs when GHILL will defend him, or the spurs are in front by 20pts in a b lowout win

    He only need a lick of daylight and i'd put my money on him. spur or not.
    George hill is a beast on d but it wont count when rog finds an opening off a screen. But george can really lock him down as a whole I agree.

    You know what, you bring up an interesting point. The spurs look good right now, but they definitely need some size...
    Hope down the line we find a Nazr during the middle of the season.

    Don't trade Bonner. Finley can be traded, but not Bonner.

    IF the Bonner from the last two games continues to play this way, then fine, it's a long season anyway.
    But, the spurs NEED size for the lakers/celtics/magic/blazers and so on of the league.
    Blair and Mcdyess are nice and having Ratliff helps, but we need a solid Center for the post season.
    There's no getting around it.
