Butler.. But there's still Barnes in the mix I assume
It's quite obvious that we are currently sifting through free agents searching for that SF who adapts well to the Spurs' fundamental environment. I watched a couple HL videos for the two most likely candidates, and I couldn't put my finger on, which was better. Rasual Butler or James Jones? What is your opinion? What would most benefit the champs?

Getting Derek Fisher back was probably of most benefit to them.
. Just noticed
I prefer to have RJ back. But if it comes doens to these 2 option I go with Butler. James Jones is a one dimensional player - the only thing he does is shoot 3's. 0
When I read the le I thought this was going to be about Caron Butler and Joe Johnson.
Let RJ walk, take a chance on Tmac, and get Butler. This saves cash for either adding one more piece (Shaq for the min) or adding financial options to work on an extension for Tony.
I'd say Butler, he probably has a better all around game, unlike Jones who can just make 3's.
sorry I'm late to the party.
what about Josh Howard?
We most likely don't have enough money for him, and his off the court trouble is a major problem.
Given the current situation, I'd take either. Butler stands a decent chance of being unaffordable though........
Ahem, let me clarify by saying, the Lakers are not the champs I was referring to. In fact, I hate the Lakers with such great fervor, & they won the championships, but they'll never have what it takes to truly be champions, not as long as they keep inflating their heads and egos. Compare them to the humility of the old Lakers.
Anyways, so the majority prefer Rasual. But it escaped me that Barnes was an option. To me, Barnes is perfect, but I'm sure it won't work in our favor.
Butler of course! Dude can play D and shoot the 3, he's got good size as well. I just hope the Spurs make a move quickly before he gets signed by another team, I can't see them not signing a SF.
Does anyone know if it's possible that we could sign both of them?
I thought it was Caron and that little midget. I'd rather just re-sign RJ.
not crazy for either - while these guys are 6'7-6'8 they are barely 200lbs and nither are good defenders although Butler at least tries - just don't see much difference other than a couple inches between these guys and James Anderson except JA is stronger and more athletic than either guy - RJ is still best available answer at SF unless someone comes available through S&T - if RJ goes elsewhere may be just as well off to play the young guys (though undersized) vs spending money on avg SF and taking opportunity away from some combination of Harrison, Temple, Anderson, Gee, Gist, and/or Neal.
Imma Say Bring RJ Back....... Then Let James Anderson play some 3.....Gee Is actually Looking Pretty Good In Summer League.... Though He isnt the best Shooter
D-League players do not a championship team make.
Gee is definitely not ready for anything beyond sparse backup minutes, let alone a principle role on the team. Let him season for another year. Bring in a vet for now.
1.get princess peanut back in the lineup for redemption 2. if rj falls through go for butler and let J.anderson develop in that pos. oh and they just added splitter and anderson to nba.com no info though. waiting for the season sucks
how about rashard mccants?
i did read his article, but some ppl just like to be left alone to deal with their own demons...
I'd say Butler.
I feel safer with Butler than Jones because Butler is more starter material than Jones.
