Ranking the Remaining Free Agents

[Mr. Body]

Asking about Woods is one thing, acquiring him is another. He did get Glenn Robinson for about 30 games, then dumped him. He's kicked Mercer out, etc.

Taking a low-risk 'bad apple' player is one thing. Meaning: very inexpensive. How expensive will Woods be? The Spurs won't overpay for him and I'm sure 'paying market value' is overpaying to them.

[Mr. Body]

Bob Lanier, with all due respect to your awesome game, I think you're wrong about Ariza. The guy has a true nose for the ball, hustles his ass off, and is given to spectacular plays -- dunks, sure, but also steals, surprising defensive moves, offensive boards.

The guy may never learn how to shoot, he may never be more than an inconsistent player, he may always be headstrong and a bit wild. But he loves to play, he's 21, should pay dividends under a good coach (that likes rookies), and could be dynamite as a hungry bench guy.

[picnroll]

Doubt Woods will cost much. If he can get PT and rehabilitate his career with the Spurs, particularly if he showed up in the playoffs, it would be win - win for he and the Spurs.

Spurs offered a first round pick for him in the past. They also offered him a contract before he signed with the Heat.

All he had to do was accept and he'd still be a Spur today.

Why didn't he accept?

Was Miami offering more?

Doesn't matter, they traded him a week later.

[Mr. Body]

*shrugs* on Woods

Okay. He's not the answer for backup SF but whatever. For a one year try-out, sure.

He thought at the time he could get more playing time with the Heat.

[violentkitten]

jones would be a capable, affordable small forward for the spurs and his game fits what the spurs need

[timvp]

Tony/Banks
Manu/Finley
Bowen/Woods
Tim/Horry/Bonner
Butler/Javtokas/Oberto

- Sean Marks/Donta Smith

Banks wants to start and get the full MLE.

[JamStone]

Jared Jeffries is perfect for a team that is already very good and just needs a player who will fit in. He defends and can guard all five positions, four of the rather well. He doesn't demand the ball. He doesn't force shots. He runs the floor.

On a team like San Antonio, which alread has its top three go-to players on offense, he would be very good. If a team was looking for him to be the #2 guy on the team, he isn't worth it. It all depends on the team, the system, and what they expect from him.

Jones hits the spotup three and can rebound very well for a small forward.

He does fit rather well.

[Buddy Holly]

Banks wants to start and get the full MLE.

I was thinking S&T with Minny. Send Barry and Beno.

[ducks]

if mike james goes to wolves
what does bank do?
are they starting teams out there where he can start?

[ducks]

would banks start with dallas?

[Mr. Body]

Banks wants bank. That's it. Not the kind of player you want on a contender.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

im tellng ya, you guys need DJ (Dermarr Johnson), he is exactly the kinda player that Pop could help flourish. Karl is an idiot who has wasted DJ's talents by leaving him on the bench.

Remember that 32-8 run the Nuggets had after Karl came? DJ was the starting SG then and then Karl decided to bench him in the 2nd game of the first round vs you guys and look at what happened

For the sake of all us on the 'Free DJ' bandwagon, please take him out of the wasted space that is Karl's rotation.

[Buddy Holly]

Weren't the Spurs close to signing him? But then re decided to resign with Denver.

Or am I wrong?

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

not sure. But he would be worth looking at again, he can play the 3 very nicely as well as the 2

of course i hope he re-signs with Denver BUT only if GK stops being a fool with DJ's minutes. He should be our starting SG, no questions asked

Wrong.

[Buddy Holly]

Woods or Johnson as the back up to Bowen wouldn't be such a bad thing.

[Buddy Holly]

Wrong.

I thought so.

But am I right that the Spurs pursued once?

[timvp]

I thought so.

But am I right that the Spurs pursued once?

Not that I know of.

Spurs fans wanted him last year. That's about it.

[Buddy Holly]

Qestion, can any of these players (Woods, Johnson, Butler) be signed with the vet min?

[Slinkyman]

Woods is a dirt bag, i can't believe anybody would want that SOB on this team. Where are all the people you hate on Kmart because he yells and pumps his chest when he dunks? so it's ok to raise dogs for fighting and driving around with a pound of weed and 12 AK47s but it's not ok to throw down and show off? nice.
