Is there anyway the Spurs can sucker Minny to give us Dieng?How about Muhammad for that matter?
He already stated he is going to Dallas. Mavs consolidation prize I guess.

When he was drafted, he was regarded as a rugged Jerome Kersey (RIP) type of small forward. I saw him play that position earlier in his career. Admittedly, I haven't seen him play in the last few years so perhaps he's a full-time PF now.
Ah, yeah, that makes sense.
Spurs and Hawks agree to Splitter for Printezis. League says no because Printezis has been with 36 teams and never came to the NBA. The Hawks end up adding in that protected second round pick to make the league office happy.
That would also explain why there were reports that the Splitter trade hit a snag right before it was announced.
Nice work, you two
why would they do this?Is there anyway the Spurs can sucker Minny to give us Dieng?
This is like hitting 5 three pointers straight and feeling so hot that you decide to take a 40 foot three pointer....

As for Muhammed, don't they have him, Wiggings and Budinger? I'm sure Wiggins is going to get the majority of all of those minutes at SF. Stop being stingy Minny and cough up Muhammed.
Funny thing is, the Spurs may well get that pick. I wonder if that makes it more or less likely that Printezis is a real consideration.
Why does everyone keep thinking that Kyle's summer league performance will hurt his chances. Remember George Hills performance in summer league he was worse and he turned out fine
Duncan had a poor summer-league debut. But if Anderson looks outclassed physically in the summer league, it kind of taints his prospects a bit. He get's space on his drive using his forearm. I don't know if refs will let him do that consistently in the NBA.
Printezis could work as a SF on offense but I don't know about him defending wing player. He can dribble the ball probably better than Danny Green, has good post up game and can shoot the 3. I think he is a great defensive player on the PF position, but I just don't think he's fast on his feet to guard athletic wings. He's something like a Mirza Teletovič just with a much better defense.
Many may not be high on him or know who he is, and he may even need to take a slight pay cut but Anthony Morrow is a legit scorer that could play very well within the Spurs system.
Ryan Broekhoff was being discussed by a few of us in the think tank a few days back. Anyone heard any rumours there?
I've always thought he'd be the next Ray Allen.
I like him a lot, but i seriously doubt it happens.
On another subject, could it be possible that the Spurs bring over Prizentzis or whatever to trade him along with Kyle Anderson?
I am the only one that thinks that the Spurs need both a C and a Wing?
Hopefully OKC matches Kanters offer sheet and we can go after Steven Adams as Timmy's back up. I really think he'd be perfect but I doubt they'd want us to have him.
Why would they bring over yet another power forward? Agreed. They need a Belinelli replacement, Tiago replacement at center, and maybe a small forward depending upon who their Belinelli replacement is.
I would say you need both, but the timing of getting the big is not as important. There will be lots of quality big play between LA, TD, BD, and DW. You could fill in with Ayres and Bonner for the time being and be fine. The wing need is more urgent without anyone really behind Manu (maybe Williams is the guy?) and with Kyle Anderson looking underwhelming it is important to have another wing that can hit a 3 (and hopefully, but not required to play some D). The Spurs will likely be one of the top 2 places that buy-outs will look to this year. That could yield some significant returns a la Boris Diaw. If they cannot find a true 5 to back up Tim I think Tyler Hansborough would be a great fit and could be had for the minimum.
I am starting to think from here on out any signing is going to be for an under the radar guy. There is only a limited budget and whoever is signed will play very little unless there are lengthy injuries. An unknown project for a big man very much like Baynes, which is fine because hopefully he is unlikely to play much. For a wing possibly a shooter and I doubt for a wing you will find anyone better than Anderson. People better hope he pulls it together.
When Baynes was picked up, the Spurs had Splitter, so the Spurs had the luxury of him having time to learn the system. That's different now where we need that center to be able to relieve Duncan during the regular season.
I expect the Spurs to sign someone by the start of the season. There are several stiffs out there like Thabeet and McGee. It is just a question of how far the Spurs will tolerate incompetence.
Thabeet is horrendous. He can't play. I saw him in a dleague game I watched against Austin. BArely played 10 mins b4 fouled out. He also had stamina issues. He looked aweful even in the d'league so I don't think he is an nba player at all.
And Anderson no doubt will look better (please) when he is not the focal point and is being guarded by the other team's likely worst defender and guarding their worst offensive player.
Ayres actually played his best ball the last third of the season. It actually gave me some hope that he was catching on. The fact that he knows the system gives him a huge advantage when choosing between the bigs that remain.
Anderson as the backup 3 is a huge gamble and no to Jeff ayers.
He's got talent and produced some when he started last year but he just doesn't look like he gives two s about summer league, minus the second game. He needs to prove something to Pop now just to get in the rotation, then he should be productive against second units, like you said.
Anderson is a decent role player. He has to get that into his head first. He's never going to be the star, so he's got to grow up and start focusing on parts of the game where he needs to improve (i.e. 3 point shooting).
I don't think so. Anderson has good basketball IQ and can pass. So inserting him in the team does not stop the offense.
You can't say the same for other more athletic players that the Spurs never pick up. Why didn't the Spurs pick up Gerald Green? A guy that can jump out of the gym and can hit the 3.
