Balkman! G.O.A.T
We could use some depth in the front court being a center or small forward. Any thoughts or clues as to who might be open and who might be a good pick should a buy out occur...
Balkman! G.O.A.T
we'll have to wait and see.
Now this is a good thread about how we can fill holes in our lineup. Bruno, or any other cap guys what are our options and restrictions money wise? What can we offer?
The Bobkittens waived a pair of fairly young combo forwards, either would be worth the spurs taking a chance on. Neither is really quite what the spurs need but both provide a bit of an insurance policy as an athletic big small forward that can play defense. They both lack much of an outside shot but both rebound well, play pretty hard defense and can guard the larger small forwards that Manu and Hill can't. It would help provide some sf depth for when jefferson is resting. Either will do.
Spurs shouldnt touch roster.
This is always an interesting time during the NBA season. We have to wait and see who gets bought out and whether its beneficial to bring them on.
Potential buyout targets:
Tracy McGrady (less likely now considering Detroit's current activity)
Rasual Butler
Troy Murphy
Jason Kapono
Jamario Moon
As of right now my short list is Butler, Brown and McGuire in that order.
I like Jamario moon, and murphy. either one of those guys. Moon is an athletic 3 that can defend and is solid rebound. And murphy is simply Matt bonner with balls.
Marc Stein says Pryzbilla has a chance to be bought out. He could be the missing big a lot of people have been asking for.
Most of these guys will sign for a prorated portion of the vet minimum. The Spurs can offer more than that since they retain over 1.5M of the MLE, but the real controlling factor is the luxury tax line. The Spurs are about 1M under the line now. It's extremely unlikely that they'll make any moves that will put them above the line. They must sign at least one player to a contract for the remainder of the season.
What we really don't know is if the Spurs are actively looking in any of those directions.
We can only assume they are unless someone has some insider information that they are.
Well, they have to sign at least one player. Perimeter defender/backup SF is the area of greatest need.
True, they have to have 13 players, which after signing numb nuts to another ten days, they are set, but I agree, to finish off the season they most need that defensive SF who can hit a 3 with regularity.
I'm with Bennie!
I'm with Bruno in that McGuire is my pick over those others ........... so far.
It's not over yet and someone else better may get bought out.
In any case, this player would also have to want to come and play here too!
i think we should wait for pryzbilla to negotiate a buyout....
if that doesnt happen then rasual butler, jamario moon and dom mcguire....
what about backup SF or a shotblocking center?
Potential buyout targets:
TJ Ford
Tracy McGrady
Rasual Butler
Jason Kapono
Jamario Moon
Dominic McGuire - Current Free Agent
Renaldo Balkman
Derrick Brown - Current Free Agent
Joel Pryzbilla
Troy Murphy
Darius Songaila
Leon Powe - Current Free Agent
Jared Jeffries - Current Free Agent, supposedly signing with Knicks
Marcus Cousin - D League

i dint get u phila...how does signing TJ fill our need for a perimeter defender or shotblocking center
Sarcasm?
Spurs are currently $985K below the tax. If you sign today a player to the min for the rest of the season, it costs $241K against the tax. Spurs have now the possibility to carry a 15 players roster without going over the tax.
So if you think Spurs need to add a vet 7 footer and a vet SF, they can do both. Personally, I only see the need to add a SF. The 14th and 15th roster spots can be filled with D-League prospects.
