Rather the Spurs not sign dregs to long term contracts out of desperation. Overpay some stiff for a onne year deal and try again next year.
so crap crap crap or crap?

Can't the spurs pursue a trade to get someone better than that list? voskhul? You should have not even bothered mentioning him. He isn't a player worthy of quality minutes.
Lets hope the spurs don't consider him.
No more slow white bigman stiffs.
I would like to see a trade with the Bucks for Magloire. I dont really like what is left in the free agent pool.
Tony Battie -- one of the guys posted in the digging through bargains thread. He looks better than most of the others to me, mainly because he blocks shots and appears quick enough to defend 4s (an apparent requirement now).
So far, so good up to now. The Spurs didn't get stuck with Wallace or Pryzbilla and didn't make any boneheaded trade of Barry, so now the real fun can begin.
I think what the Spurs do this off-season may look better in the rear-view mirror (hopefully next June) than it does now.
Let's get Battie, but not Magliore, please.
They extended Battie a few months ago. I don't know why he's on the free agent list on NBA.com

He's not really a Bigman...but whatever happened to Jeffries? Did he end up resigning with the Wiz? Or are the Spurs still looking at him?
Nothing happened to him yet. Supposedly 6 or more teams are interested in him. I haven't heard anymore than that.
Expect the Spurs to offer the fifth most money. That's best-case.
He's 6'11" with a career field goal percantage of .432. That's more than just poor shooting --- that's a lack of athletic ability and skill. Doesn't rebound much either.
Sorry if this has been posted before but this is a player I've been thinking about for the Spurs the last couple weeks. . .
What about Chris Mihm? The Lakers seem to be ready to trade him with Kwame Brown's emergence late in the season and Turiaf's recovery from health problems. He's a good shot blocker. I always thought he was at least as good as Rasho (perhaps faint praise I know). Is he quick enough for the Spurs' defensive requirements? Are his eternal confidence problems too reminiscent of Rasho for the Spurs to consider him?
If he fits the bill, the Lakers are desperately looking for point guards, both starting and back-up. Beno might look better to them than he does to us (although Phil Jackson tends to like bigger guards).
So far he's only been in disfunctional situations. Cleveland and Boston were a mess and in LA, Kobe intimidates all his teammates and brings out their worst. Mihm is a Texas guy and familiar surroundings might bring out the best in him.
Mihm anyone?
When I see that list, I get nostalgic for Rasho-- and even Mr. Pump Fake Stone Hands NAZR--at least you knew what you had wouldn't kill you when out there against most centers.
I'm betting that CIA POP has something up his sleeve. He wouldn't have let Rasho go otherwise. Maybe Javtokas is better than we think. Maybe the Kiwi is ready after all these years. These guys are career journeymen.
Mihm has a nice contract (1yr/4.2 mil)
No Magloire, PLEASE!!
18 MONTHS TO GO

Spurs are definitely going to need a big man. You gotta assume that Yao & TMac are gonna be healthy this season and if they are they should be up in the 4-6 seed playoff range I'd think. Who would cover Yao? I don't think you want Duncan covering him. I think a lot of people have totally dismissed the Rockets because they sucked so much w/o Yao & TMac. I could be wrong but I think TMac, Yao, Battier and company could be really good.
Let's give the Lakers the sweet shooting PG with the ability to dish.

So many posts keep saying, "we don't want Duncan defending_______ because he might foul out. I think this is the wrong at ude.
What about whoever_________ is fouling out defending Duncan?
If Duncan can't defend against a premier player on the opposing team, then why has he been given a place on the all-defense team?
Line 'em up and let 'em play. But he needs some help on the front line offensively and defensively other than Bruce.
Because he's pretty much the league's best weakside/help defender.If Duncan can't defend against a premier player on the opposing team, then why has he been given a place on the all-defense team?
I was just about to post the very same response.
I would imagine he is under contract but would Marcus Camby be an option via trade?
wow what a horrible horrible waste of duncan's prime
Magloire and his 1 year deal looks like the best option to me.
