Caron Butler to the Kings - good - one less temptation for SA.
Looks like Boban Marjonovic deal is confirmed.... Paul Garcia tweet says Bufford working on acquiring a wing.

I think we'll bring Bonner back as the 6th big, and I'm perfectly fine with that. Aldridge/Duncan/Diaw/West/Boban/Bonner is a big improvement over our bigs rotation last year.
Now if we can just find a capable wing, this offseason will seriously be as close to perfect as you can get.
No to bonner for the shear fact that Pop will run him out there because of familiarity when he shouldn't touch the court at all
So the roster looks like
Starters:
PG Parker
SG Green
SF Leonard
PF Aldridge
C Duncan
Bench:
6 West
7 Ginobili
8 Diaw
9 Mills
10 Marjonovic
11 Anderson
12 McCallum
13 Bonner
I mean that looks pretty ing stacked.
We really need to look at Tony Crocker, 6-6.5 wing who ready to make the jump to the nba, the guy is a shot maker and was born and raised in San Antonio...
The wings look pretty thin, tbh.
Green/Leonard/Ginobili with Mills filling spot minutes at the 2 in small lineups and Diaw spot minutes at the 3 in big lineups ain't too bad man. Not as good as having Belinelli there too, but can't complain when your 4/5 rotation is Aldridge/Duncan/West/Diaw.
So now we have the oldest player, the tallest player and of curse the fattest player in the league...
My guess is we'll see either Prince or one of the Butlers signed eventually for depth at the 3.
We need to get another rotation wing. We can't depend on Kawhi, Manu and Green being healthy all season. And we need enough players to stay compe ive on every regular season game. HCA will be more important than ever this season, imho.
Pretty sure RC specifically mentioned that the next step for the offseason was finding a backup wing...it's still only July 10th. They'll get SOMEONE, it's just a matter of who. Really can't see them sticking with Reggie Williams.
At this rate of signups (didn't Spurs just McCallum yesterday?) , I expect a signup by Monday (assume nothing happens on the weekends).
Shved, Prince, or Rasual Butler.
i Admit, i loled on this one
Would rather have Butler at this point. At least he could stretch the D.
At 5'10" who is shorter than Mills?
Isaiah Thomas
Yeah, looks nice. 1 more 2/3 guy and we're ready to roll.
James Jones.
So now it's down to a shooter or a perimeter defender?
Shved because he can pass and is still young. No thanks on the other geezers, too freaking old for our new roster.
Obviously it'd be ideal to get someone who can do both at least somewhat decently...but if I had to choose, I think I'd lean towards a defender. We already have Mills/Manu/Diaw/West off the bench, and all of them are capable shooters. I'm not really worried about a lack of spacing on this team. What I am worried about, however, is one of Kawhi/Green getting injured and our perimeter defense turning to . We already sacrificed a bit of defense by replacing Splitter with Aldridge; I think it'd be wise to make up for it by getting a guy who's at least solid defensively to replace Belinelli.
Shved would be great and also a steal for any less than 5 millions, i think will end up with Delfino if he is in good health.
LJC staying overseas. Cady is a keeper for D-League.

Drafted: No. 55 / Age: 23 / Position: C
To be clear, Cady Lalanne is not going to emerge as a key player for the San Antonio Spurs during his rookie season. He'll likely spend much of the year playing in the NBA Developmental League, though he could certainly fill a bench role with the real squad and earn garbage-time minutes.
But already, the 23-year-old is providing hope that he could eventually be something more.
Through two games, the UMass product has been an aggressive defender, taking advantage of the extra fouls players are granted during summer league action and attempting to contest just about everything. Sure, he's been whistled for illegal contact quite often, but he's also dealt with tough matchups—including Jahlil Okafor of the Philadelphia 76ers—and come away with six blocks.
He's also attempted to take some triples. Though none have fallen, it's already encouraging that he's trying to stretch out the floor and fit in with the modern-day NBA.
Players drafted within the final six picks of the night aren't expected to be immediate contributors, and few ever make a significant impact at the NBA level. The very fact that Lalanne is offering hope he could be an exception makes him an early-steal candidate, even if he doesn't have the numbers or current impact of many other players who are handed that sought-after tag.
