The way I see the C/PF situation -
Duncan, Bonner, Mahinmi, McDyess, Blair and Haislip-
one of those guys won't make it onto the active 12 man roster. Spurs usually have 5 bigs active. Question--- who is the odd man out?

Too early to say...that frontline could still change and as much as RC expects Blair to be a 20mpg guy right out of the gate, he'll have to prove he's ready to Pop.

All things equal, the odd man out is youngest one with the least experience. But we'll see if that stays as is.

pretty exciting news.

[Blackjack]

Nice.

Not quite as nice as the Hairston signing, but nice.

[rayray2k8]

Bonner.. is the odd man out.. :|

[Dice]

I've followed McDyess his whole career and this may be the best thing that's ever happened to him.

Really looking forward to getting my NBA league pass and watching the Spurs this season now.

I've watched McDyess play in every game he's participated in for the last 4 seasons so I could go on and on about what type of player you guys are getting and how much he's going to bring to the court but I'll save it.

[bdictjames]

Amazing. I'm ready for the next season!

Since I've been playing WoW the last hour or so, all I have to say is W00t.

Stick around. You will find a lot of fellow Pistons fans on the site.

Welcome. If there's anything in common among the Pistons fans here is class.

i think haislip or bonner is the odd man out. whoever can make their 3s will probably stand. this is assuming that ian can provide us with pure hustle and energy. if he cant than hes out forsure.

[FilSpursFan]

..now... now... if Bruce would be here... (sniff...!)

We just signed Haislip to the LLE (1.9 million). He won't be the odd man out.

ESPN Ford is pretty much going to crown the Spurs champs I think.



1. San Antonio Spurs
Key additions: Richard Jefferson, DeJuan Blair, Antonio McDyess

Key subtractions: Bruce Bowen, Fabricio Oberto, Kurt Thomas

In limbo: Drew Gooden (U), Ime Udoka (U), Jacque Vaughn (U)

The Spurs always seem to find a way to turn a little into a lot. They turned three aging players past their primes into Richard Jefferson -- an athletic forward at the peak of his game. They added Antonio McDyess to play the 4. McDyess is getting older, but is still very productive and a model citizen on and off the court.

And even without a first-round pick in this year's draft, they were still able to come away with some terrific players in the second round. Specifically, Pittsburgh's DeJuan Blair, who was the best rebounder in college basketball and is a beast in the paint. If his knees stay sturdy, he'll go down as the steal of the draft. Overall, the Spurs have dramatically improved their team and are, once again, serious contenders for an NBA le.

Well, Chris Mannix on SI crowned the Spurs after they signed Jefferson...that is until the lakers signed artest then he flipped flopped.

This is a good signing for our team but i'm not ready to crown us champs....i'll just leave it as it is.

[weebo]

Great news! This offseason more than makes up for last year's ty injury plagued season!

[angelbelow]

now i cant wait for the summer league. cant wait to see geogre, james, dejuan, ian, malik in action.

[urunobili]

Parker/Ginobili/Jefferson/McDyess/Duncan.

[DAF86]

Is that trade everybody is talking about: Gadzuric for Bonner and Finley? 'cause my dad said he heard that. I hope it is not true we already have enough bigmen.

[crc21209]

now i cant wait for the summer league. cant wait to see geogre, james, dejuan, ian, malik in action.

yeah. We have A LOT of young talented players here now who may be able to make an impact on the team this upcoming season.

Hill, Mahinmi, Blair, Gist, Haislip, Hairston, and McClinton. WOW.

[Heath Ledger]

Wow great pick up fo you guys. If last season is any indication this guy still has a lot left in the tank and you know he has the heart of a champion. I desparately want to see him get a ring, the Spurs are looking like a potential threat in the west. I like it.

..now... now... if Bruce would be here... (sniff...!)

get over it

Hey, can someone please make a photo of the starting five lineup for the spurs including Timmy, tony, manu, RJ and Dice?
