    Let's keep this thread for any possible and realistic free agents who could sign for the Spurs..

    What positions are most likely to be addressed and who would you like the Spurs to target/sign this upcoming Free Agency?

    I think some of the guys they have to look at are Ronnie Price, Earl Watson, and Anthony Carter for backup PG. For backup big there's Deandre Jordan, Tony Battie, and Francisco Elson. Those guys are in a realistic price range and can actually help the defense.

    I initially shudder at the thought of bringing Elson back....and then I remember who our frontline consists of, and realize that Francisco would arguably be the best option out of all of them sans Tim.

    *sigh*

    None of those players are appealing, except for DeAndre who has zero chance of coming here with our current cap situation.

    Jeff Foster?
    A little long in the tooth but still serviceable.
    distant connection to SA and the area.
    Might not wish to leave Indy after so long.

    I get the feeling he is much-loved in Indy. He's the only lifer on the Pacers, I think.

    My thought too, however he would be a good fit- rotation of him, Tim, Tiago and Blair

    The only one of those in the Spurs' price range is Battier. Unless the Spurs use the amnesty on RJ (unlikely IMO), they'll only have the tax-level MLE to work with ($3 million or less starting salary, 1-3 year contract) along with minimum contracts.

    I just hate Dalembert ... he does have no BBIQ at all and is a black hole. In the Spurs system you have to share the damn ball ... and yes, that includes you TP!

    I've said it before the lockout but if Spurs want to sign a cheap vet backup PG, Earl Watson is the best option by far.

    Is it possible to trade RJ for Tyson Chandler?
    Chandler is a free agent and has yet to sign a contract, so he cannot be traded. The Spurs do not have the money to sign Chandler and any team who signs him will not trade him for RJ.

    I'd prefer Pargo or TJ Ford over Watson

    Believe it or not, I wouldn't mind it if they brought back Beno. I don't know what his contract status is, but he's seemingly a better player now than he was when he left - and hopefully more mature.

    Beno does not defend, does he? I know Cory Joseph seems far from NBA ready, but you could try to use him especially on defense while e.g. Manu is handling the ball on offense.

    He's still under contract for the Suns.

    Back in June, Pietrus exercised a player option to extend his contract. He's currently making $5.3 mil.

    In August, he had a right knee arthroscopy to remove loose bodies. Supposedly, he finished with rehabilitation by end of that month.

    Beno's got a $6,925,400 contract for this season and $7,372,200 player option for next one. And Beno playes like when he comes of the bench, it's like he's not even trying.

    Kenyon Martin is a guy that's kind of intriguing to me. Would bring some much needed toughness not only to the front line but to the whole team in general. He's an average offensive player who has his moments and has always been an underrated defender IMO.

    Health and at ude could be a concern. Do you guys see him getting a big contract at 33 years old?
