The team also needs a legit backup PG. Too many problems not enough assets for a solution. It seems to me, Maggette would have the biggest impact of any potential acquisition.
Probably-
At best might fix two of these at least none. It will be interesting. I suspect they may get a backup point, with the other areas left untouched although not from lack of looking.
Maggette has two years beyond this year on his contract- not outrageous, but not cheap. IF, I repeat IF the Clipps are interested in a deal, the Spurs really have to ask themselves is he worth it. I think he would be
needs
an athletic wing
A decent big PF/C
backup point
Sheridan said he spoke to Maggette. So Maggette then seems to think that he may end up in San Antonio. That has to be because he agent is telling him something. I would not be surprised if the Spurs land him. It would be a plus over Barry.
Magloire>>>>>>>>ObertoSeriously though, if Maglore is a free agent, I wouldn't mind the Spurs picking him up. Could he be worse than Oberto?
Mo ain't going nowhere. He has turned into Mr. Crunch Time for the Raptors. Another big dagger MP-3 tonight late against the Lakers.
Better prediction than all the people talking about him being the coveted long 3.
(this was also mentioned in the trade possibilities thread by another poster.)
Chris Sheridan has mentioned in his insider chat, that he has heard, that Williams is a buyout candidate in SA.
not that it would be surprising, that the Spurs don't have any more use for him, but what would be the reasons and/or the next steps?
I don't think, that Williams would take less than his salary as a buyout. why should he? he likely won't be signed by another team. so the buyout wouldn't save the Spurs money (also not lux tax money, as far as I know)
so the only point is, that it opens a roster spot.
does it mean, that the Spurs are going to sign a FA? (KvH ?)
(question: could the Spurs use the LLE, if they sign a Euro FA?)
some Euroleague players come to my mind (don't know if they have opt-out for NBA clauses though, but some have it in their contracts)
Alck Acker (Olympiacos), Michale Wright (Pau), Marcus Haislip (Efes), Antonis Fotsis (Dynamo Moscow), Aaron Miles (Pau) and especially Nicola Vujcic (Maccabi, Spurs liked him for many years, talked to him several times)

do we still have the mle? or lle?
i say we trade him.....+ oberto + beno
God we can only hope this happens so we can bring someone else in.
I think we would if we could. No one want them.
if they think of a buyout, they obviously don't think about trading him in a package, because this would bring back salary. his expiring contract is only interesting for teams, that want to send back a longer term contract.
They have opt-out clause at the end of the season, not in the middle of it.
NOBODY WANTS THOSE GUYS...That's the problem...
About Williams, the most likely scenoario is that Spurs trade him to a team to go under the luxury tax threshold and then this team bought him out.
Spurs are curently $1M over the tax and this $1M will cost $5M to Spurs' owners : reducing Spurs payroll to go under the tax will be one of the top priority of Spurs FO.
BTW, Spurs have involved a third team (Atlanta) in the failed JR Smith last year because they wanted to go under the tax with this trade. Without the goal to go under the tax, Spurs would have done the deal without trying to use a third team.
this is what we should try and do
either trade him to the wiz + filler for either brendan haywood, or etan thomas which will solve out reb and presence down low.
cutting him, wtf are we going to sign?
There's already a four-page thread about it ...
