NY will pay full MLE, if LB is still the coach
Deng for KG?
If Chicago want KG,they should give at least Noci+Hiinrich+their picks.

Well, I guess Barnes, Woods, DerMarr Johnson and Jones are affordable options. Woods had some really good performances for the Knicks but wasn't in the rotation for long. Jones seems to be a okay 3pt shooter.
Jeffries and Thomas are also players to look at but I doubt Thomas is interested in comming to SA. I haven't seen much of Jeffries so I don't know if he would fit. Has nice lengt though...I don't know much about Evans also but he is be the best rebounder out there and from what I have seen, the Spurs really NEED good rebounders cause they got killed on the glass often this year. He averages about 8 reb in ca 21 mpg! That is pretty impressive...
I think Evans, Thomas, Woods (even though I don't like him) and Jones might be the ones to make a push for.
If the Spurs are able to trade Barry+X for J.R. Smith it would be great as well.
How is Bobby Jacksons defense? Our backup PG should be abel to keep up with the fast guards in the league...if he is a good defender... get him.
Chuck Hayes would be a perfect addition to the Spurs. He is all hustle, can rebound really well for his size, and is a solid fundamental player. Price would be affordable as well. Solid Player.
When he came out of Kentucky I thought he would be a good fit for the Spurs. Ignore the character issues, as the charges he had against him from a scorned lover are completely baseless and false.
I hadn't thought about it, but Atkins might be a good cheap veteran to bring in.
Does he have anything left, or is he Chucky Van Exel at this point?
These are the moves I'd like to see...
Spurs pickup either Bobby Jackson or Speedy Claxton
Spurs pickup Matt Barnes or Rasual Butler
Spurs trade for JR Smith
Spurs being in Robertas Javtokas
Jackson is a china doll, too. And I'm not entirely sure that he makes great decisions for a PG. His energy is usually very good and he get be a witch when he's hot, but he can't seem to make it through a full NBA season without some serious injury.
R. Evans is a joke, I can't believe his name is mentioned here. Is that what the Spurs need? A nutcracker who can't shoot a FT to save his life?
A name that hasn't been mentioned here is the Boston kid, Ryan Gomes, a rebounding machine who, unlike Evans, can score the ball.
I'd love to see Josh Smith wearing a Spurs uniform with Jared Jeffries a close second candidate, but neither Atlanta, nor Washington will trade this kind of players.
Gomes makes sense.
why do you post more since you are so much more knowledgable then us bringing up evans
that way we have your great insight and we are not in the dark
Out of all those PGs, Atkins is the most consistent and manages to stay healthiest. He had a good season with Memphis.
Wiz let Atkins walk because he was complaining all the time about his lack of PT. TP doesn't play Arenas-like minutes, but he ain't BJax either. Mighty mouse was injured, so it'll be interesting to see where Chucky lands.
wilcox showed a good rebounding stretch and not to mention offensive... did i mention athletic? he would be good for spurs
Why on Earth would the Celtics give up Gomes? As best I can tell, they have a team option on him this summer -- I can't imagine they won't exercise that.
NO to PGs over 30!
NO to SFs under 6'7
NO to PFs under 6'9
NO to 6'6 PFs
NO to unathletic white centers
Yes to Wilcox but he will get a fat contract from either seattle or chicago and washington like him alot too but only have the MLE and Wilcox will probably cost more then that. So unlikely we get him.
Yes to Jeffries but he's restricted. That said washington has 13 players under contract right now and are very close to the luxary tax threshold. Wash. needs a post player who's a 'banger' and can score inside so they may let Jeffries walk because he doesn't fill that need.
I agree with this, except that I would be OK with PFs in the 6'7 or 6'8 range if they brought the right skill set -- and especially if they could play both forward positions.
That was uncalled for.
I'd say no to both those guys even the MVP because neither can play D, not now anyway and not on guys like devin harris
I don't want an offense liability as a starter with Parker/Manu/Bowen/Duncan.
With a defensive player at PF or C, Spurs will never put the opposite team in matchup trouble. Every team has at least a good perimeter defender and a good paint defender. You can put the first on Manu and the second on Duncan.
If you look more closely, we are one of the few playoff team (maybe the only ?) to have 2 starters who scored less than 10 ppg. Defending against us is not too difficult because you can have one or two defensive liability at SG/SF/PF/C and played without having a matcup trouble. We should be the team against who the opposite team must do some adjustement.
Does that mean you like the idea of bringing in Scola? He's probably as good a scorer at PF or C as we could find.
If we can't find a better solution, yes.
Maybe i'm a dreamer but I think too that we can get Harington.
If we can't get Harrington, Scola is maybe the best solution.
If there's some way we could land him, Harrington could be huge -- he has both size and mobility, he has some range, he can penetrate, he's a decent rebounder and OK passer.
If we could get him to really defend consistently, he would completely change what we could do on the court.
Is there any chance he's available for the midlevel, or do we have to find someone Atlanta wants in a sign and trade?
I'm warming to the idea of Jumaine Jones being here next year.
He will be more expensive than the MLE. I say around $50M/6 years.
He is an unrestricted free agent, his trade value is quite low. The problem is to find something with a salary big enough to match up Harrington salary that Atlanta like. Maybe Barry or trading Rasho + something to a third team under the cap and giving a trade exception to Atlanta.
As a PF or a SF ?
Jumaine Jones addresses quite some weaknesses. He's long, athletic, good defender, can even hit the 3pter. He hasn't played many minutes the last couple of years. He's been on the Spurs radar before, and most importantly he can come at an affordable price.
