Problem with starting Duncan/Splitter is they are both true centers at this point their careers. Spurs need to get a a big who can score and guard the 4 position.
My point was that they want somebody who can defend 4's and 5's. That way Duncan can take the more convenient matchup which may not always be the 5. Right now out of necessity he has to defend the 5 and still sometimes help with the 4.

lol, if they are actually going to try & add a big name who is going to garner a price tag, please for the love of god give me Dalembert.
Different price tag.
Sorry, how exactly is that a problem? Duncan and Splitter didn't have any problem defending Gasol or Randolph, it was Bonner and Dice who were getting raped.
It's too bad Sideshow Bob is coming off a season-ending injury, as he would be a really good fit.
Actually, what little chance the Spurs might have would be because people have forgotten about him due to the injury.
What about the Euro we got in the GHill trade....Lorbek?
Problem is bolded. He's under contract in Europe. Next summer, maybe, but not now.
I have a hard time seeing how this move would make much sense. Unless spurs are for sure off-loading RJ somehow it's a pretty redundant move and a waste of money that could be used elsewhere.
RC at the drink again?
Wow, just now seeing that the last year of his deal is a team option, I might not mind pursuing him anyways.
This is a stupid article...
I think Tim said this after one of the games. I think he said he didn't give Gasol the proper attention he should have because he was drifting over to Randolph too much and giving Gasol more room than he should have.
We need bigs that can allow us to play single coverage in the post. Same thing on the perimeter. Memphis basically played single coverage while we were playing too much help defense. Too much help gave the Grizzlies, who were a poor perimeter shooting team, plenty of wide open looks.
You're back again? What about that trade you talked about in regards to Beno and Jason Thompson the other day? The one where you had no idea Beno was even traded to Milwaukee. Where exactly are you getting this inside info from?
i'd rather develop JA, Leonard, and Neal.
Spurs will be shopping RJ+filler for anything that makes sense... Problem is nobody is touching RJ's contract with a 10 foot pole, so I don't really expect much movement at all.
4real sure in theory it works but wtf wants rj and that contract?!?
Well, playing Splitter and Duncan together currently means that Bonner and Blair need to sub in for them. And that combo is a defensive nightmare. Therefore you need another big PF/C, otherwise TD and Splitter can only stay on the court together for very limited minutes.
Run n gun baby... Who needs D?![]()
Maybe a team has a few players they want to amnesty with longer contracts, and that is owed more money as RJ throughout the next few years. So Spurs can trade RJ for those 2 or 3 players that could help the Spurs out these next few years that a possible rebuilding team may not need. Jared Dudley & Josh Childress are combined owed $20 million more then RJ throughout there current contracts. That could save Suns alot of money if they Amnesty RJ, while getting rid of there 2 worst contracts for players that can help us out, and give the Suns more cap room throughout the years.
Exactly!!!!!!!!!!
might as well go the suns route![]()
Oh, really? Who would have guessed?
