Who can the Spurs sign to fill out their roster . . . . . .

[Shabazz]

alright who's next? austin rivers as 3rd pg, fredette?

I will strangle someone if the Spurs waste a roster spot on that bum Rivers. He has had 2 good games in his career.

Unfortunatey they both happened in the first round last year.

Sadly true.

But at least their starting center was so jealous of them he quit...

LOL

i invite you to rewatch any of his games for New Orleans. The guy would probably be out of the league by now if not for his dad.

Spurs, amazingly, still have five roster spots to fill. Let's see how much more minimum magic they have left after landing David West

The best FO in the NBA has 5 shots to fill their 3rd string spots... bad news for the rest of the league.

4 spots don't forget the great bonner

duncan,Aldridge,kawahi,tony,green,mills,Manu,bonne r,west,Diaw,anderson

[Chomper]

Starters:

C: Duncan
PF: Aldridge
PG: Parker
SF: Kawhi
SG: Green

Bench

C: West
PF: Diaw
PG: Mills
SG: Manu
SF: Anderson

Remaining: Ayers, Bonner

That's 12 and we need 3 more. And frankly, I don't see us keeping Ayers. Who else is gunna be on this team? I'd take some of the guys on our summer league team. Livio-Jean Charles, Nate Wolters, and Treveon Graham would be my picks.

How do you see this roster filling out?

I have a feeling the Spurs will sign either Lou Amundson or Andre miller, then fill out the rotation with LVC or Player X

Really going out on a limb there.

[jdiggy0424]

I know its crazy, but with a roster this good, I'd call Larry Sanders and see if he is available for the minimum. Sure, he's a head case, but you already got a deep front court and he is a legit defense center. Again, if we weren't so deep in the front court, I would go conservative, but why not swing for the fences in a low risk move. As for pg, I'm for Jameer first, and if not, then Jimmer second. Both can shoot and probably run a pick and roll with Davis, Duncan, and LMA well enough to make it a top notch weapon.

Agreed. At this point it's a low risk high reward move.

worst case scenario is that he gets too high and his ass doesn't play.

Andre Miller? Interesting. Not the best possible option since he's nearly 40 but he's a smart player who can make some nice plays. I wouldn't mind that signing tbh.

Correct. Plus he's another guy that has never had an opportunity to ring. At this point he's another veteran in the locker room and along with Manu teach Anderson how to fully utilize his passing abilities in the 2nd unit.

[Spurfan4ever20]

I read someone mentioning Kendrick Perkins in one of the threads to take up the 5 position for about 10mpg. I liked that idea especially when playing against OKC and Ubaka. Perkins has experience defending Ubaka during OKC practice in the past. He would also fill in the role as a Baynes type of player.

Anyone know Perkins status during this free agency period?

[cd98]

I still don't know who anyone can guard a Duncan/Alderidge and an Aldridge/Diaw line up. And West and Diaw is probably just as lethal.

[tuncaboylu]

We need 3 guys more.

A back-up defense first PG.
An athletic wingman.
An athletic shot blocker center.

We don't need Bonner right now, all of our big-men are jump-shooters.

Do any of the folks who follow Euro ball have a sense if any of Atlantas second rounders are any good? Very curious to see what comes of the Splitter trade.

Also, did we already discount Tavares as a possibility? Is there an impact to him being signed and later traded?

Pretty safe bet Tavares isn't leaving Atlanta. If anyone, we'll get det anorexic Swedish kid.

[Vic Petro]

Please stop mentioning Andre Miller and Ray Allen. Please.

[Bruno]

Damn, what a crazy offseason. Spurs are building such a nice team. What West did is unreal.

Just a little FYI regarding Livio Jean-Charles, it's far from sure he will sign with Spurs this summer. He might very well spend another year in France with his team.

Good news. I don't think I'd want to choose between him and Lalanne at this point.

Thanks for the update Bruno. Have you seen his game improving so that it may translate to the NBA?

The value from the Splitter trade was signing Aldridge. I don't think either side feels like Atlanta owes the Spurs anything more. If any other player(s) are involved, they aren't likely to be consequential. More likely just there to make the numbers work. I know this has been a miracle summer so far, but Bud is sitting on the other side, and he knows the value of the deal as well as anybody.
