    I'd like to see the Spurs do the following to fill out their roster:

    • Re-sign Devin Brown.
    • Sign Aaron McKie for 2 years starting at up to the remainder of the MLE or the entire LLE.
    • If possible, use the remainder of the MLE to sign Maurice Evans away from the Kings or James Jones away from the Pacers.
    • Sign a vet point guard like a Travis Best or Howard Eisley for IR.


    Starters
    1 Parker
    2 Ginobili
    3 Bowen
    4 Duncan
    5 Mohammed

    Bench
    1 Udrih
    1/2 Barry
    2 Brown
    2/3 McKie
    4 Horry
    4/5 Oberto
    5 Nesterovic

    IR
    1 Best or Eisley
    2 Evans or 3 Jones
    4/5 Marks or other vet big

    We can't have Brown and Evans at the same time, It's one or the other. Marks will not be a Spur next year, we went back to Australia.

    Well, then whatever vet big they can sign for the minimum to sit on IR all season.

    aaron mckie would get ruined at the 3, in the west
    i dont see the idea behind signing him

    he is a solid player but we're stacked at guard, especially if we resign brown

    if we get jones i say we keep him on the bench, not the IR

    How so?

    i dont see the idea behind signing him
    Here's the idea: the Spurs have limited $ and minutes to offer a player to be the backup 3. McKie is a solid defender with a good outside shot as well as a team player.

    Spurs aren't "stacked" at the 3.

    if we get jones i say we keep him on the bench, not the IR
    Go with the experience.

    because he's not a 3, doesn't play the 3, and last i checked the west has some pretty big and athletic 3's
    when i used to watch the sixers (back when iverson was at peak popularity) they hardly ever used him as a 3

    true that, but the money can be spent better elsewhere

    Really?

    Go with the experience.
    i say sign him up if noone else is available, theres no doubt he's got experience under his belt
    but im just hoping we can do better, cuz i see him taking away potential Barry minutes

    Sure they did. He was in their swing rotation. Remember Iverson and Snow in the backcourt? Who was at the 3?

    When Finley doesn't come and the Nuggets re-up Johnson who's left?


    Really?
    Um, yeah.

    You say that as if it's a bad thing.

    Agree on the vet PG. As for the other four, I am nearly at the point of wanting the Spurs to sign anybody to shore up the swingman position.

    I guess from the Spurs point of view, they have Devin in their backpocket, so they can wait for the better players to decide.

    MB is correct. McKie plays both wing slots.

    yeah you're right, but that strategy was put to an end 2 seasons ago, the sixers were horribly undersized



    When Finley doesn't come and the Nuggets re-up Johnson who's left?
    THEN mckie is a solid pickup








    You say that as if it's a bad thing
    Whottt and thispego have me convinced, barry will have a good next season


    there is no doubting mckie can play D though, and thats the primary reason i believe he's solid, moreso than his veteran status
    however
    any 6 foot 8 or taller small forward that we can sign, i believe we should get him before mckie

    McKie, Brown, and Evans can all play the 3, but all of them are better suited for the 2. Ginobili and Barry can both play the 3 for that matter. So I don't see the point of having all three of them. We would be looking at having a slew of SG's who fill in at the 3.

    I don't think Evans or James Jones would be on the IR. They are good enough to make another teams roster.

    True. I also think I'd rather have James Jones than McKie.

    which one is the better defender? whoever that is that's the one the spurs should try to sign.

    I think the best defender they are considering is Melvin Sanders, who played on their summer league team.

    If we've gotta pick one of the usual suspects I'd like to see us cherry pick Jones from Indy.

    He can shoot the long ball, is very athletic, and could be molded into a Bowen replacement.

    I say that if we can get Dermarr Johnson we should go for him over Evans, McKie and James. There are certain players if they come to San Antonio they can turn into class A projects and i think Dermarr Johnson is one of those players.

    Well, they didn't have $12 mil in cap room to offer Joe Johnson a contract, so deal with it.
