I too like danilo, but it seems the knicks do not want to part with him. Also, they seem to be pretty confident they can sign TP next season without having to give up any of their core players this season.
Parker for Gallinari n someone else. I know Danilo well, i should bet he'll become Hedo 2.0

If Spurs sign RJ to a long term contract (which I don't like), they should at least do it with a flat or decreasing salary structure.
Spurs have enough space below the tax to offer RJ a big first year of contract and a flat or decreasing structure would make his contract less horrible in 2 or 3 years when RJ will be aging.
The "n someone else" is the problem. The knicks don't have anyone else, nor can they give the Spurs a good 1st round draft pick any time soon since they've traded a couple away.
Probably. Of course there's another 2011 free agent to be near and dear to our hearts whom the knicks might be interested in saving some cap space for.
Bonner's free now.
That doesn't sound too bad. IMO I would rather sign RJ to a 3-4 year deal than let him walk for nothing even though some posters would disagree. He is by far better than anything we can get on the market or that we already have.
NY 2011 2012?

not bad.
Do you think we could get Q-Rich for the minimum. He was actually pretty decent last year?
It's probably safe to assume if a Heat player can be had for the minimum, they're probably going to wind up with the Heat.
It looks like RJ will be the starting SF but I hope the Spurs get a backup with the LLE.
A lot of those guys are gone. I think Jones, Butler and and Q are realistic and good options
I'd like to Howard and Barnes too but I think those two will get more than we can pay
I just hope Spurs get one more veteran at SF
I highly doubt Rasual Butler will only get the LLE given the state of the market.
The first players on timvp's list that could be had with the LLE is Pete Mcikael at #15. The 14 players before him should be paid more.
Among realistic target, my favorite one is by far James Jones. I hope Spurs will go after him and convince him to sign with them instead of re-signing with Miami where he won't get playing time.
I really feel like Jones will go back to Miami. IMO, Butler and Barnes are the two best options at this point.
I don't see any team talking about Howard. Do you think he'd be a good fit?

Howard looking for new contract
Washington Wizards free-agent forward Josh Howard is optimistic his knee injury won’t keep him from landing a new contract soon.
Howard had surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in March and was projected to be out six to eight months. He suffered the injury in just his fourth game with the Washington Wizards after being traded by the Dallas Mavericks.
“The doctors say I’m ahead of schedule in my fourth month of rehab,” Howard told Yahoo! Sports. “I’m optimistic I’ll be ready by the start of the regular-season.”
Howard averaged 12.7 points and 3.6 rebounds in 35 games for Washington and Dallas last season. While Washington was the first team to express interest after free agency began, Howard said Miami, New York, Sacramento, Boston and the Los Angeles Clippers have also been in contact with his agent.
Howard hopes to sign with someone within the next two weeks.
“I’m going to be open-minded,” Howard said. “But I have some loyalty to Washington for getting me out of my situation with Dallas. I have interest in them. But I have to keep my options open.”

Josh Howard...ugh.
With what is left, I'd almost be willing to see them chance if he'd take the LLE.
In this market, Howard stands a pretty good chance at getting full MLE.
With regards to LLE targets, James Jones is about as good as it's going to get.
yeah id give howard a chance for the LLE... he will get more than that though even with the prior injury
I, unfortunately, agree. Josh Howard will want too much money, and that dude anyway.
The board seems to be at a consensus that the LLE should be spent on a SF (which I said at the beginning of last year when everyone was clamoring for bigs, BTW). The division seems to be whether the SF should be a defender or a 3pt shooter. I vote for a defender because, I believe the Spurs relay too heavily on the 3.
I remember reading the Spurs had interest in Utah's Wesley Matthews. Looks as though he could be off the table soon. Thanks to the greedy-ass, free-spending Blazers, who throw money at players, as though it's going out of style.

I've been skeptical about the Spurs adding a veteran SF all summer and still am.
The only way Spurs add another wing via free agency is if he has his best years ahead of him and is better than what they have now (Matthews).
Even if Matthews is very unlikely (being restricted), I don't see the Spurs adding a veteran wing because of how high they are on Anderson, Hairston and Gee. I've been saying it all summer and will stick by it. All three will be on the roster and this year is the year to see what they can bring.
+1...not that it'll happen, but completely agree.
that would be sic maybe the acl tear will put him in that price range but i doubt it
Yeah, the two-year deal I can see...the $2M/yr, not so much. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets somewhere between $4-5M per year on a short-term deal.
out of the realistic choices, rasual butler is the best bet. make 3's and play defense is all the spurs need.
