Not when 3/4 of the swingmen are 32+.
Finley has a strained groin and won't play tonight. Barry was sent to the inactive list and Marks activated.

Keeping a 14th man would cost an extra $350K or something.
Finley, Barry miss game with injuries
November 9, 2005
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- San Antonio guards Michael Finley and Brent Barry both missed the Spurs' game against the Charlotte Bobcats on Wednesday night with injuries.
Finley was placed on the inactive list before the game with tightness in his groin and Barry had lower back spasms.
The Spurs also activated forward Sean Marks and signed guard Melvin Sanders, who had been with the team in training camp.

So does this mean Finley will be on the inactive list tonight? or maybe Beno? How do they plan to make room to activate Sanders?

Now the masses start to see the light.Devin Brown.
So the Spurs have 2 swingmen to go with tonight?
Awesome.
It's official:
SPURS SIGN MELVIN SANDERS
PLACE FORWARD MICHAEL FINLEY ON THE INACTIVE LIST
SAN ANTONIO – The San Antonio Spurs today announced that they have signed free agent guard Melvin Sanders. Per club policy terms of the agreement were not announced.
The 6-5, 210-pound guard played seven preseason contests with the Spurs, averaging 6.3 points, 2.6 assists and 0.9 rebounds in 14.9 minutes per contest. Sanders had his best preseason outing versus the Philadelphia 76ers on October 12, when he paced the Spurs with 18 points, grabbed 5 rebounds and had 3 steals in 27 minutes. Sanders was released by the Spurs on October 26.
Sanders averaged 15.6 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.0 assists in five games with the Spurs summer league team at the 2005 Rocky Mountain Revue. The Oklahoma State product spent the 2004-05 season with the Dakota Wizards of the CBA where he averaged 18.7 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3.0 assists on his way to being selected to the All-CBA Second Team and the CBA All-Defensive First Team.
At the same time the Spurs placed forward Michael Finley on the inactive list.
Most importantly of all, will those of us who put vCash on Sanders to make the team get paid?
No doubt a 10 day contract.

Spurs guard Brent Barry had an MRI on his sore back on Tuesday and is expected to miss a week, according to the San Antonio Express-News. Barry experienced some back tightness prior to Saturday's game against the Mavericks, but bent over awkwardly in an attempt to grab a rebound and the condition got worse. The team is still waiting on team doctors to evaluate the MRI results and issue a clearer diagnosis.

Barry was not a player you would find on many fantasy teams, but his value as a role player for the Spurs was understated. The early timetable has him missing three games, but it's nearly a certainty that that is adjusted after the MRI results are interpreted.

Yep, having a solid 5th swing was pointless with an aged swingman rotation. Yes, it is far better to see Holt Cat to avoid the indignity of going over the lux tax threshold.
Spurs fans, cheer.
No, a team could sign a 10 day contract only after January 10th.
It's likely a non guaranteed contract. It becomes guaranteed if Spurs don't waive Sanders before January 10th.
Will sanders play tonight ?
Exactly.
He'll just get paid pro-rated per game and they can waive him anytime.
bout ing time.
now go sign noel felix and all the world will be right.
btw, whats noel up to these days kori?
How serious are their injures if they are sent to the inactive list?!?!
He's probably going to go to the CBA within the next couple days if nothing pans out with a couple NBA teams that he's still talking to.
Not necessarily serious. You can change the inactive list every day.
Oh yeah, is this rule new?
the inactive list makes them not play for 5 games correct
vBookie dollars?
<ahem>
No, there's no five day rule anymore.
With the new rule they can bring them off and on anytime. They just turn in their active/inactive list 1 hour before each game.
I have no idea. I'll ask LJ.
