We more than likely would have to include Mason instead of Finley to get that deal done. That being the case we'd use our MLE to sign a wing to start alongside Jefferson with Manu coming off the bench.
I just really hope Big Baby doesn't turn into Jackie Butler 2.0...

that makes way too much sense.
You should leave this thread.
Jackie Butler had never produced anything before he was a spur. He was all about potential. Davis is proven and has playoff experience. Don't ever compare a never was with a has done.
I don't really wanna see Baby guarding Gasol in the playoffs..we'd pretty much have to hope for another Bynum injury, so Davis can guard Odom instead, otherwise we'd be getting murdered down low..
Come on McDyess..
I like Mason a lot, and if we have to part with him maybe we could grab Steve Novak from them? That guy can flat out shoot the 3 like it's going out of style. Then again, if we had Novak that obviates Haislip. Unlikely.
I'd really rather not part with Mason. I think he's integral to the squad going forward. I'd try and get it done with Finley and two picks if necessary (a 1st and a second - we are brimming with yourth right now and can afford it).
And of course this is all only if we can't land Dice, Pachulia or Splitter, which would be a very sad state of affairs indeed!
I agree that giving up Mason would hurt..we'd be giving up 3 great spot-up shooters in a deal, which opens up another hole..
get mc ing dyess. im sick of this sheed big baby splitter bull . should have given mcdyess a call on july 1st at midnight and got his ass down here. Mcdyess can play ball. he can flat out defend rebound and was superb in last years playoffs for detroit. hes a smart player and is not bonner soft by any means... he should have been the #1 target and id even be willing to give him the full mle at this point.. in big baby
Exactly. The goal is to give the Spurs a LEGIT shot at a le before Duncan retires. If Baby is the only move (which it could or could not be) then it does not look good.
It could work out, who knows?
Yeah because Big Baby wasn't on the team that beat the Lakers two years ago. The spurs are putting together a great cast of role players to put next to the big 4. The spurs are building a team capable of beating any team, not just the Lakers. Length means nothing if can't get near the basket because bangers like Davis and Blair are in your way. And as long as the spurs have Tim Duncan the won't have a problem rebounding. And Blair is a beast on the boards as well.
Finley filled that role better than Mason did last year when it mattered. And Finley was just as good or better than Mason on defense. And we would still have Finley and the MLE to address that " hole".
Big Baby wasn't a factor against the Lakers, so it's irrelevant..
we don't have Kendrick Perkins starting ahead of him..if we did, it'd be a completely different story..
Mason was clearly much better than Finley on both sides before the PG experimentation..
Who would we use the MLE on?..
We don't have perkins, but we have Ian, Blair and TIM FREAKING DUNCAN.
On paper... in reality we have Bonner and TIM FREAKING DUNCAN
give mcdyess the whole MLE
and get glen baby davis for a 1 year LLE and tell him well give you a bigger contract next year
be straight up RC
Oh boy... I´m already having nightmares of him turning into such a horrible burden that just to unload him the FO trades him along with the rights to Splitter to Dallas, with the latter turning into a borderline all star and the hottest topic on the forum for years to come...
Tim Duncan is our Kevin Garnett..
Ian and Blair are 2 unproven guys that have done nothing in the NBA..they don't compare to Perkins..
so our situation and the situation Boston had Baby playing in, isn't comparable IMO..
no. I don't want this idiot on the Spurs. I'd rather have Gooden. Even if it's for the LLE, I don't want anything to do with this guy. We already have Blair. Getting Davis would be absolutely stupid.
They had KG and Perkins. The Spurs do have Duncan, but beside him they have 2 guys with less than 20 minutes or so combined NBA experience. Lot of questions left and the FA period is not over, so we have to see.
But this is a thread about a potential Big Baby signing and ....
I usually never post, but this is cracking me up. Now I don't think this one guy's tweet should have caused 19 threads on spurstalk, but come on guys. Everyone is calling for the Spurs to add pieces and RJ and Big Baby are 2 of the biggest offseason prizes the Spurs have landed in quite some time. I mean a few years ago all of you were so excited about Jackie Butler. Big Davis is a legit NBA player and we should be excited if we really do land him. Plus no one else here knows whats up the Spurs sleeve so be patient and trust the 4 les we have in the Duncan era.
Bonner plays the role of shooter and trade asset, he is not a Banger.
I think one of two scenarios is at work:
1. The Spurs told the Celtics that if they keep going for Rasheed, the Spurs will turn around and try to steal Big Baby. The Celtics are on record as saying they want to keep both so by making the threat, the Spurs hoped to scare the Celtics into possibly changing their strategy. If this is the case, this news is probably bogus and residue from the Rasheed sweepstakes.
2. The Spurs wanted Big Baby the whole time. They feigned interest in Rasheed just enough to force the Celtics into going all out for Rasheed to land him. Now with Rasheed inked, the Spurs have started to move in on their real target.
If I had to bet, I'd go with the first scenario. But if it is the second scenario, it wouldn't be too surprising either.
Exactly.
To Davis' defense, I'd definitely rather have him over Gooden..
