    A good backup SF is not absolutely necessary, though it will mean long SFs will hurt us. It's a specialty position in the NBA, though, and only Seattle, among our toughest rivals, have anyone of caliber to hurt us badly there.

    This team is remarkably deep and versatile and this is their only weak spot. But we have a platoon of competent and skilled big men and a core of dynamic and talented guards, plus a terrific perimeter defender. I don't see us fixing the problem of depth at the 3 simply because there are no players out there that could be had and that deserve playing time over any other player on the roster.

    I don't see this as an alarming problem, however. Teams will have much harder times matching up with an increasingly powerful Spurs team on offense.

    I don't think it would be a huge problem if we went into the season with the same 2-3 rotation that we had to end this past season. It would be nice to find a long athletic 3, but those are hard to come by. With Bruce, Manu, Brent, and Brown being able to D up on whatever any team throws at us from the 2 or 3 spot I feel alright.

    BUT, Bruce is getting older and the Spurs need to bring in someone to learn from him sooner rather than later.

    The Spurs will need another wing player and I think they'll get one, if they don't re-sign Devin Brown. No question.

    I'm not feelin' LJIII right now. They'll get another 3 man besides the normal rotation of Manu, Bruce and Brent on the wing...whether by trade or free agency.

    All the spurs need are Devin Brown or another offensive shooting guard or small forward to go with Parker and Ginobili.

    He needs to work on his Offensive game ALOT just to get at Bruce's level. He has no jump shot.

    Bruce can hit the open three pointer, and he has been dribble driving a lot more the past few years. LJIII, right now, would be a huge offensive liabilty.

    very true

    but with his size and athleticism he can become more than bruce bowen ever was defensively (i fully believe anyone could and bruce's talent is due to being the hardest worker of all time) and if he works under bruces' tutelege he can show us some pretty awe inspiring D

    spurs need another slasher at the 2/3 to beat the suns. Nash has the most trouble against those type of players and Bowen doesn't have an offensive game to break down Nash so he isn't the answer. Ginobili, Parker, and slasher 2/3 would beat the suns.

    The only reason Nash was guarding Parker the first 2 games was because Joe Johnson was out. The spurs won the first 2 games because of that matchup problem for Nash. If we get another slasher at the 2/3 Nash would again have to guard Parker because he has trouble with those type of players. Bowen can't play heavy minutes so why not get Brown or a backup 2/3 slasher.

    to reiterate bowen had the 3rd highest minutes of any spur in the reg season

    The Spurs still have some money left (1/2 the MLE and the whole LLE) plus some tradeable commodities, so I think they'll get a SF here.

    There's several guys on their radar, I'm sure. So I'm not worried about it yet.

    They'd have to trade for him. I'm sure the Grizz would take Nazr for Battier.

    They do need another big man, since Swift is a free agent.

    If they take Rasho for Battier I'd say do it, not sure about giving up Nazr though.
