wow, this FA class sucks
None-the-less, I believe there were some hard feelings with Speedy Claxton and POP because the Spurs did not pick up on his team-option year the first time around. so maybe Bobby Jackson is the way POP goes, although I think Speedy would come back in a heartbeat if they both just lowered their egos a bit.
Rasual Butler???!?!?
PLEASE SPURS GET HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Long 3, hits the 3 VERY well, very atheltic, and can defend.
You get him, youve got the long 3 of the future.
Bring in Javtokas, sign a Claxton or Bobby jackson with the rest of the money, and if Devin wants a vet min contract, bring him back too.
Swing a sign and trade with Mohammed for draft picks or whatever, and your set.
I wouldn't touch Bobby Jackson with a ten foot pole. The dude can certainly play, but he can't stay on the court long enough to make a difference and I'm not sure you can count on him being available enough to be a consistent back-up.
I wonder about how willing Claxton would be to come back to SA -- he's taken a run at starting in a number of places without much success in holding a starting job. Maybe his resignation to being a back-up would entice him to step back up to the elite. But Speedy brings the same health concerns that Bobby Jackson brings -- can he stay healthy enough to make a difference over the course of a full season?
If we're going to visit former Spurs, I thought I read some rumblings about Larry Bird breaking up the Pacers and wonder about Stephen Jackson's availability. If Bird is going to blow that team up, he might be willing to take a bad contract now in the hope of gaining some cap relief later. A contract plus a prospect might get you something there, though I'd be surprised if the Spurs had more than a passing interest in Jackson or, if they do, if they have enough to get him out of Indy.
And there's always Devin Brown, right?
HAHAHA, get your own players.
I actually wouldnt mind diop. All he needs to do is block shots.
j oneal would be great but would you trade manu or tp for him?
speedy has no jump shot
NO THANK YOU
That's a luxuary that Beno affords you during the regular season. Plus, Speedy is a good floor leader, but can the Spurs afford both Claxton and Butler?I wonder about how willing Claxton would be to come back to SA -- he's taken a run at starting in a number of places without much success in holding a starting job.

If you take a look at Bobby Jackson's season splits:

He hasn't done that bad with the minutes thrown at him.
You'll find no bigger Jackson supporter than myself, but Bird just handing Jack to the Spurs and POP being smart enough to accept the offer seems like fantasy-land.If we're going to visit former Spurs, I thought I read some rumblings about Larry Bird breaking up the Pacers and wonder about Stephen Jackson's availability.

What about Mike James?
Not gonna happen.
James has a $3.72 player option with Toronto which he will probably decline. That makes him available to sign for way, way more than the Spurs will likely have to offer unless we do some sort of sign and trade.
I'm sure Pop loves his defense... plus the guy is amazingly clutch...
James is out of Spurs touch. We need to put that dog to sleep.
why do you guys want Brown so bad?
we all know he has the work ethic of an old donkey
he was an ok defender, but Id rather have Finley taking all of his minutes every time!
A lot of people are talking about signing Rasual Butler AND Speedy. With what money?
That's just it, any deal for the two would have to involve a multi-player, possibly sign-and-trade deal, or multi-team deal which the Spurs don't usually do. Still, Barry and Rasho may be attractive to teams looking to dump future salaries.A lot of people are talking about signing Rasual Butler AND Speedy. With what money?
What happens to Oberto? Is he a complete write-off? Does he take Marks' 12th man role?
Bobby J shot .382 this year, was benched by his coach, and frequently injured. Loved his game 3 years ago, but now? Nup.
Do we go for Rasual and put some faith in Beno at backup PG?
If all we want in a big is rebounding and some beef, Kelvin Cato would fit the bill. He had a poor 05, but in 04 playing in Orl he was good for 10/10/2 per 40 minutes. Another project big - Melvin Ely? But what is his D like? We have so many bigs sitting in Europe that it seems we'll go that way though.
Some people suggested QWoods - yes, he's talented, but do you see a fvckwit like him fitting in on the Spurs? Too many character issues.
I like the D. Johnson idea and if we could get that deal with the Hornets that was in place in Feb. then that would be great. I doubt a sign and trade will happen with Nazr unless he goes to a cellar dwellar in the East.
[QUOTE]Not a bad idea for a backup. Definetly a better idea than Nick the Brick.
whaaaaaaat
we don't need projects, we need players that can play right now. the only thing more upsetting than not winning a championship this year is the fact that duncan will be another year older and we are never going to have a player like him again. i don't want to waste duncan's best years trying to develp projects, that makes zero sense. duncan only has about 4 years, imo, of great bball left in him; so lets get so good players.
...i vote for speedy claxton and jumaine jones. then trying to bring in javtokas and whatever veteran player w/legs that Pop wants.
I wonder how much Devean George would cost? He is an excellent role player.
As far as Washington concerned,they would probably accept Moha+Scola's right for Jeffries.
