If this season depends on signing Earl Barron, we might as well tank.
It depends on the variety of factors I've already talked about. But this big rotation isn't exactly the second coming of Gasol-Bynum-Odom. This team, especially this season, needs five bigs who can eat up minutes.
I'm not intimating that at all. Why do you front office apologists all make things up? I'm intimating that they need depth. And at this late date, I find it hard to believe they're going to do better than Barron.

You lack reading comprehension and are an unabashed front office apologist.
Nah, they sucked this offseason. No big man they can realistically sign at this point is going to change that.
So don't bring one in at all? That makes sense.
He's better than the training camp fodder they currently have. It may not help much, but it wouldn't hurt at all to bring him in.
I already said bring him or any other player who sucks in.
You didn't comprehend it.
feels like team is window shopping right now without an intent to buy anything. At some point you gotta walk into the store and pick something out.

Why haven't the Spurs tried to sign Reggie Evans? Dude is about to sign for $1.3M/1yr. He would've been a great fit on the defensive end.
I think the question is, who is going to defend tall starting power forwards? Guess we'll find out the day after Christmas.
There's no good bigs to add to our roster. Just accept that we are not going to add another big already. Some of you guys are just rediculous. Why would we add some ty big man just because he's 6'10'' or 7'0 just to add him to the list of Bonner and RJ for all you ers to complain about.....like , shut up already -just sayin...
Because Bonner is 6'10" and RJ is 6'7" and both have about the same standing reach. A good big man always beats a good smaller man. Basketball is no different from boxing.
The spurs are going to add another big. He may not be any good but there will be another.
Thats the problem, there is no good big men out there that we can realistically obtain. So get over it... If we do get a big man he's gonna be a bench warmer that will likely get no court time. He'll be a rotation insurance type player in case one of our regular rotation frontcourt players get injured...We are not going to sign a big man that will make an impact in any way. Just accept it. If we are going to get any significant frontcourt production, it'll likely be from Splitter and Blair having a bigger role on the team, not from some marginal player that we add just for his height.
Pray for a trade...but don't hold your breath

What's wrong with taking a flier on Ajinca? He's decent enough to actually get some minutes given the situation for the season and the Spurs lack of depth. Scrubs can help - look at the impact Cardinal and Mahinmi had for Dallas in the Playoffs even if minor.
Because we already have an undersized rebounder at PF.
spurs need a starting pf other than a c
Does anyone have the skinny on the skills of Gustavo Ayon - other than him signing with the Hornets? I don't know much about him and, assuming he's serviceable, why the Spurs didn't go harder after him?
Yeah, there are no good smaller men either. So anyone big is going to be better than RJ and Bonner.
Really a diss to TD not ever getting him any help. Things could have been so different. (aka not being killed in the first round)
Saw some good things from Lawal and Hassell today. I say just sign them and see what presents itself later.
If we're just going to start auditioning big men, I'd take a look at Will Foster. He's the only true shot blocker in the D-League since Greg Stiemsma looks like he's going to stick with Boston.
Doesn't look like he knows how to play yet but as they say, you can't teach seven feet, five inches.

Not true at all. RJ and Bonner are much more valuable to us than some random scrub frontline player
This, the Spurs need a legitimate starting quality addition on the frontline.
I don't see what the big fuss over the 5th big is about because whoever it is won't make any bit of difference.
Novak: RC's 12 step self help program has him on the wagon. He woke up and said "wtf, who is this clown?"
Kenyon Martin won't want to play in SA. The thug wannabe types never do.
