No Matter What Happens The Rest Of This Series...

[yomama21]

all I know is if they keep drafting these old farts and foreigners in which we have to wait years for them to come over I'm gonna be highly pissed!

Pietrus?

I like that

Pietrus?

I like that

I'm guessing it will be of the three Warrior kids. Pietrus, Barnes, or Azuibuike. Kelenna is the only one who's a true SG, and will come cheaper, so he makes more sense from a player standpoint.

I also think Sanikidze is going to be our sleeper long SF. He'll be out of his contract this summer and free to come to the U.S., and he's looked good in summer league (I know that isn't much but...).

So given that, we're set at SF (Bowen, Udoka, Sanikidze). Neither Barnes or Pietrus are true shooting guards so Kelenna makes more sense from that perspective, or else all we have is an aging Manu backed up by an aging Barry at SG.

There's always the draft too, maybe Lindsey can actually find us a wing player worth a damn in the draft (it's about time he does something right for us).

The spurs need to unload everyone on the team except for the big three. Agree?

lets start with you

My guess at next year's squad:

Duncan
Manu
Parker
Udoka
Bowen
Vaughn
Splitter
Ian
Sanikidze
Thomas
Barry

one of
Kelenna Azuibuike
Mickael Pietrus
Matt Barnes
Ron Artest


PG: Parker, Barry, Vaughn
SG: Azuibuike, Manu, Barry
SF: Bowen, Udoka, Sanikidze
PF: TD, Ian
C: Thomas, Splitter

Will we have the money to pay the likes of Artest?

And i like the Idea of Matt Barnes over Sanikidze at SF.

Will we have the money to pay the likes of Artest?

By my math we're going to be about 3 mil under the actual salary cap going into this summer (53.6 mil + a couple of fillers for empty roster spots).

I suspect Artest is going to command big dollars but of we cap out we can offer the midlevel exception, so if there's any way to get him with that we could.

That said, I don't think we will, Artest will command more than that and we don't really need another SF IMO (will already have Bowen, Udoka, and my guess... Sanikidze).

And i like the Idea of Matt Barnes over Sanikidze at SF.

I just have a hunch we'll be bringing over Sanikidze, that's all.
