What are your thoughts on Juan Dixon?
Swingman rotation (as of now):
2 Ginobili
2 Mason
2/3 Udoka
3 Bowen
There's one spot left for the active roster in this rotation. Barry and Finley shot the ball quite well in SA. Mason shot just a hair shy of 40% on 300+ 3-point FG attempts last season, so there's hope, but I think the Spurs could use another swingman who can really shoot the 3. Before last season I'd say that Matt Barnes might be that player (really wouldn't complain if the Spurs could pick him up).
Other potential candidates:
Ricky Davis - has been a prolific and accurate shooter for the Heat over the last two seasons, shooting 40% on 643 3-point FG attempts during that time. Of course, he probably is seeking too much $ over too many years and he doesn't necessarily fit the profile of the 'prototypical Spur.'
Gordan Giricek - a career 36.8% 3 point shooter, though he's never really been a volume shooter in his career (most 3 point attempts in one season: 119). Reportedly has a large offer from a European club.
Maurice Evans - shot the 3 well last season (39.6% on 202 attempts). Nice athleticism to boot.
Bostjan Nachbar - would be an ok fit, but seems to be looking for more $ and years than the Spurs are willing to commit.
Kirk Snyder - shot the ball well in his first two NBA seasons, but he's been abysmal in limited minutes during the next two.
Casey Jacobsen - shot the ball rather well from 3 in his first 3 NBA seasons before heading to the continent to play for Tau () and then in Germany. Last season with the Grizz he wasn't too hot in limited minutes.
I think someone like Evans would fit in well with where the Spurs are headed. I could see Davis if the Spurs wanted someone who can score and shoot the 3 in a fair number of minutes to help rest Ginobili during the season.

what happened to Delfino?
Wouldn't be my first choice, though I could see him as the 5th swingman if the Spurs really wanted a shooter there above all else.
I believe he's headed to Moscow for 3 years, 73 millions rubles.
im guessing we still have an opportunity to sign these guys before the off season is over..
i suppose you don't have the FO email, so we can tell them to sign one of them?
My senses tell me...
Seeing how everyone on the Spurs roster is a professional basketball player, I believe everyone can shoot.
how about a trade with houston for the rights to santiago splitter? Luther Head would be a great fit and clutch shooter.
The reason why I also would like Barnes is his defense and rebounding. He has good size and is not too old. He would be awesome for the money the Spurs could offer.
Dixon? No thanks, Delfino will prob go over seas but Det is a poss. R Davis I have been calling for him all summer....not likely. You know how we hate anyone who can dunk!
I still think a play for JJ Re would be nice. Then maybe Tony Allen then Mo Evens.......But the guy form summer team Tolliver looks like he could help too!
No thanks.
False! Please see Oberto for further explination.
I'm always right. Oberto plays Center for the Spurs.False! Please see Oberto for further explination.
Top choices are:
1. Barnes
2. Dixon
3. Evans
Good post, Marcus. Of that list, it's all about Mo Evans, methinks. But he doesn't get to the rim, which is a problem. But sign me up for Evans on a 2 year deal for 3.8 million.
Azubuike didnt make the list, I'm guessing that's because you're assuming he's out of the the Spurs price range.
My list for final swing is:
1) Azubuike
2) Chandler
3) Evans
4) Balkman
5) Tony Allen
Who/what would the Spurs trade for him? I wouldn't give up too much for him.
Allen hasn't really been much of a gunner in his NBA career. Plus with Posey gone the C's will probably bring him back. Tolliver is a 4.Then maybe Tony Allen then Mo Evens.......But the guy form summer team Tolliver looks like he could help too!
Hopefully Azubuike would fade away from the market and sign with us for cheap, like Udoka last year.
The list is UFAs. Sure, trades are a possibility, I guess. I don't really see the Spurs making a deal if they can land one of those UFAs.
GS would match.
how about Brent Barry?
Crap, I forgot he was restricted.
I have the feeling Roger Mason is the shooter you're expecting. The off-season is just about over.
Right, of course.
Chandler and Balkman headline our much utilized trade exception thread.
Neither really tore it up against the Spurs' abysmal summerleague talent yesterday.
wait.
i think he signed with the rockets.
