Report: Lorbek wants to join the Spurs?

[Uriel]

Pretty sure Oberto joined the Spurs as a past-his-prime big and made meaningful contributions. Obviously there's not much flexibility with the existing roster, but I wouldn't put it past this FO to legitimately consider it.

Would you take him over re-signing any of Bonner, Ayres, or Baynes this offseason?

[SpurPadre]

no. more. old. S.

The 30 year old "prospect"? Maybe we can trade Ayres for him, though because Lorbek's not on a team his parents may have to take in Jeff.

i'd value an empty roster spot over ayres

[Biernutz]

Trade his rights. At 30 and not a Euro league star his ship has sailed...

[MilesTeg]

Very solid player...


... 4 years ago.

I'd rather get his brother now.

I was about to type a " this guy" type response until I realized Ayres is still on this team. I'd welcome any player to SA if it means I no longer have to see Ayres in a Spurs jersey.

Cant hurt to sign him for training camp tbh...

[TampaDude]

Spurs are the make a wish foundation of the NBA. Players get opportunities to end careers here that simply wouldn't get the chance with any other organization.... Horry, Finley, T-Mac, etc. It's not out of the realm of a possibility that he joins in some capacity.

Doesn't matter what I think (Ayres -yes, Baynes/Bonner - no). I was simply saying the Spurs have brought in veterans from overseas several times in the RC/Pop era...even ones that are "old and slow." To dismiss it outright as a possibility is foolish. If the Spurs think he can still play and possibly contribute, I'd be all for bringing him over in spite of the fact that he's 30. More than likely it'll be a camp invite next year if anything though.
