A decent three? Entirely possible. If you can convince me any of the three guys waived were decent small forwards....We had two undersized athletes and Linton Johnson with post moves.
Another reason why it makes no sense that the Spurs don't have a 14th man is because this is the first year that teams are allowed to send players to the NBDL.
14th men just became a lot more valuable.

So 600 grand isn't a lot of money to you? Okay, you can write me a check for a tenth of that and I'll be happy.
After some research...
Number of teams with 15 players on their roster -- 90% of the NBA
Number of teams with 13 players on their roster -- 2
San Antonio and Atlanta.
Nice company there, Pete.
3, you forget sacramento.

I, for one, couldn't care less what the rest of the NBA is doing. I say if there is a player that the Spurs could conceivably use (SF) then sign him. I honestly don't see anything else approaching a need for this team. Maybe if some brute big man becomes available, then sure. Guess we'll see.

How much did the Spurs need their 14th man last year, or the year before that, or the year before that ....
How many young 13th qnd 14th players haqve been kept and signed to long term contracts?
If they need somebody in a crunch they can call somebody up from the NBDL on a 10 day. Maybe not having a full roster will let them sign some guy who's actually showing something in the NBDL.
Doesn't matter. In the NBA it is not.
It's about finding a young player and developing him over the course of the seaosn. Now you can send a player to a NDBL team to get some work. Why not take advantage of that with one of the best talent evaluation staffs in the league? Why do Spurs fans not see the advantage? WTF?
You pay double salary to send a player to an NBDL team where you pay him to develop. He never sees the roster and goes to some other team next year or the year after, because you are so deep that you can't get him any PT. You also have draft picks coming up that you have to find something to do with over that same period of time, plus you have players that you own the rights to that aren't even in the league yet.
What's the advantage? Seriously. Why would anyone be critical of a professional sports team for trying to save some money. Why would anyone continue to insist that hundreds of thousands of dollars somehow don't mean anything?
Look, if the Spurs were a few million dollars under the cap or if they had a glaring weakness anywhere in their roster I could see it. , even if they had a place that looked like it might be open for some compe ion I could see it. They arent, they don't and they don't.
