at this point I would stick with what we have and bring in Ian.
If the Spurs really want to go Small Ball, they should go after Reggie Bush.

Could the Spurs possibly change their minds on Mahimi if we are desperate enough and he looks good in summer league?
I love it how we're 4 months from the start of the season but we're already "screwed".
Gimme a break!
There are a lot of 3rd PGs out there for cheap so I'm not even worried about that.
Williams gives us a year to work on finding a young 3, and in the meantime, guess what, HE IS A LONG 3 (6'9") WHO CAN PLAY D!
We need another big man but all he has to do is fill a gap, block some shots and rebound. Evans/Elson/Cato/Gadzuric/Magloire can all do that and will cost variously from 2-8mil, so we have plenty of options there.
Seriously, to the kids out there all
When have they let us down in the past??????????????
I don't think we are screwed, but Spurs front line is still insanely weak.
Tim, contract
Fabricio, contract
Bonner, contract (my omission)
Robertas, supposedly going to sign, the that egg isn't hatched, yet.
then.... nada
PF and C are 96 minutes/game. We need at least 4 bigs, preferably 5 for injury help.
Yes, Robert Horry is finished, imo. I expect as much from him next season as we saw last season, essentially nothing.

Horry and Bonner have ceased to exist.
Duncan
Parker
Javtokas
Manu
Bowen
Scola
Beno
Oberto
Finley
Barry
Marks
Bonner
Williams
For the umpteenth time, SCOLA IS NOT COMING.
It could happen, but it's very unlikely since he signed a 1 year deal over there.
Thanks, I was wondering if he was under contract or not overseas
Marks is a free agent.
dont really think we need a big guy down low, doesnt rob sumtimes play center?
Olawakandi can be signed for the veteran minimum. Pops might be able to get this guy's game back. If nothing else he is big. If he can't hack it then cut him. It's worth a shot.
Rob plays PF. When he comes in Duncan or whoever plays C.
If we do that Kori we might as well start talking about the 2007-2008 season then. If we dont get the right guys this team might as well not even play this year cuz they will be going on vacation in May.
Maybe we should try and get Foster from Indiana and Najera from Denver. That would at least give us the all hustle team.
Look forward to next year's 2nd round pick from the Bucks!!!Now what?
Yeah shaggy, we got it, you are a pessimist.
What you say, of course, is absolute bollocks! Two of the big 3 had an off-year last season, and from nowhere Miami swooped in and won the le even after looking fragile in the first round of the playoffs.
Yeah, sure, we should just give up now. Do you understand how stupid that sounds given that we have over 7 months to the trade deadline and most of a season to play before we even get there???

Strange, I have the opposite feeling. I've been following Robertas Javtokas' story for a long time, ever since his motorcycle accident. I watched the olympics specifically to see the progress he made and in the game against the US team, he looked really good to me on defense. I think he had four blocks in that game, including one on a stunned Tim Duncan who thought (wrongly) that he could just shoot over Javtokas. I'm not sure, but I think he may have even blocked Tim a second time though I don't think it showed up in the box scores.
I think his athletic ability is going to shine in this venue, more than it does in the Euro game. He's a powerful and quick jumper. Offensively, I believe his best days are ahead of him. With the individual training he can receive over here, I think he may surprise us over the years with his ability. Tony's improving his offensive game, why can't Robertas improve his dramatically?
And the guy has heart and determination and I wouldn't be betting against him. The guy has overcome serious obstacles to get where he is and part of that has to be from hard work and a strong will that will not accept failure. My main concern is that the refs may not let him stay on the court very long as a first year player. Other than that, I say prepare to be pleasantly surprised.

You guys know I hate reading through a 7 page thread, so forgive me if you have discussed already.....
But, I've been saying for years that I would like to get Magloire on our team
Barry and Oberto for Magloire is doable I guess.
I'm not supposed to say this, so mods please do not reveal my IP.
Javtokas WILL join the Spurs.
The only reason I am confirming this to you guys is because I'm an avid reader of this forum and the endless threads about this subject are killing me. Hopefully you guys can talk about something else now.
Thank you, mysterious stranger.
this is old news mate
we dont know how much though, will there be enough ;eft over to attract a scrub to join the team
