Pickings are looking kinda slim tho.
Jumaine Jones, SF, Charlotte - Spurs were interested in him before. Athletic 3 with 3 point range. Definitely fits what the Spurs are looking for and his price should fit their budget and cap room.
Melvin Ely, PF, Charlotte - Athletic big. Limited game. Could come cheap.
Eric Piatkowski, SG/SF, Chicago - Shooter. If the Spurs move some Barry he wouldn't be bad as the 5th swingman. Not sure about his health though.
Greg Buckner, SG/SF, Denver - Defensive oriented with an outside shot. Not the greatest, but depending on how the swing rotation fills out there could be a spot.
Francisco Elson, PF/C, Denver - athletic big. Depending on how the big rotation fills out there could be a deep spot for him.
Reggie Evans, PF, Denver - would be a great pickup. Willing to mix it up and great on the glass. Also willing, um, to do whatever it takes to win.
DerMarr Johnson, SG/SF, Denver - talented swingman who really hasn't put it together in the league. Still, some potential.
Kelvin Cato, PF/C, Detroit - athletic big who had a lot of potential coming into the league, but's been rather so-so. Might be worthwhile to fill out the big rotation.
Chuck Hayes, SF/PF, Houston - has some game. Some knack for rebounding in spots. Personal issues.
David Wesley, PG/SG, Houston - nice shooter, good athlete.
Scot Pollard, PF/C, Indiana - good size, willing to assert himself in paint. Might be nice as a 4th or 5th big.
Predrag Stojakovic, SG/SF, Indiana - shooter extraordinare. Not much else. Would change the complexion of the Spurs if they brought him in. Will probably cost too much.
Vladimir Radmanovic, SF, LA Clippers - another shooter without much else. Well, he boards well for a 3. Good size. His price might be palatable this summer.
Chucky Atkins, PG, Memphis - good range. Rather small. Wouldn't crimp overall game plan.
Bobby Jackson, PG/SG, Memphis - would be a nice fit as the backup 1. Good range on this shot. Will take it to the hole. Plays well in the open court.
Speedy Claxton, PG, New Orleans - would be a nice fit. China doll. Price might be a little high. Not sure he'd take a backup role.
Aaron Williams, PF, New Orleans - not a bad role player. Would be ok as a 4th or 5th big.
Qyntel Woods, SG/SF, New York - another raw talent who's yet to find himself in this league...or maybe never knew who he was.
Matt Barnes, SF, Philadelphia - Spurs have had some interest in him before. Project.
Tim Thomas, SF, Phoenix - Spurs have had interest in him before, but he seems to have found a home in the desert.
Joel Przybilla, C, Portland - Bigman parlays so-so year into $50 million contract. Sound familiar?
Bonzi Wells, SG/SF, Sacramento - Let them overpay him.
Chris Wilcox, PF/C, Seattle - Young athletic big has good 30 game stretch in contract year. Feh.
Mike Wilks, PG, Seattle - That's NBA Champion Mike Wilks to you.
Mike James, PG, Toronto - journeyman guard breaks out in contract year. More news @11.
Devin Brown, SG/SF, Utah - come home young fella.
Jarron Collins, C, Utah - well, he is 6'11".
Matt Harpring, SF, Utah - well, no, wait, nah, he could be, no not really, worthy of a chance, bust...
Jared Jeffries, SF, Washington - vintage Tim Duncan from the line circa 2004. Not sure what to make of him. I suspect the Wiz don't either and will err on the side of fear.

Pickings are looking kinda slim tho.
The names that jump off at me on that list are Pollard, Claxton, B. Jackson, and Atkins.
I hadn't thought about Pollard untill now, but I like the idea of bringing him in because of the way he plays.
peja will probably resign with indy or go to chicago. bobby and speedy are solid. barnes would probably suit the spurs well with some playing time. bonzi isent moving, he is hopefully staying with sac.
Bobby Jackson would be pretty cool. He's a great sixth man. Claxton would be nice to have back.
Same here.
Except I would exchange pollard for evens.
Having Jackson as a backup PG would be ing sweet.
Dont get me wrong, I like Beno, but hes not worth a damn when the
playoffs roll around.
Same with claxton but i doubt he'll ever come back, but it would be nice to
get something off the bench from the 1.
I like Reggie Evans and Chuck Hayes. Spurs need rebounding and toughness.
Man you REALLY pushing for Evan, huh LJ?
Im sure him and Finley would get along just great!!
I love Chuck Hayes. He's undersized but has a nose for the ball. Good rebounder, hustles, and brings energy.
Probably over-priced for the MLE, but I think Matt Harpring would be a good fit.
any truth to peja considering going to chicago? if this is true then luel deng will be the odd man out because they also have nocioni. then we can package rasho and barry or whoever chicago wants for chandler and deng! yay! RC MAKE IT HAPPEN!
Believe it or not, according to Hoopshype there is a rumor that Kevin Garnett reportedly is on the market, but the Bull's Paxson probably would have to package the pick and at least one of his team's core players - Luol Deng, Ben Gordon, Andres Nocioni or Kirk Hinrich - to make that happen.
i wouldnt do that, they are giving up their core and youth for a middle aged superstar. in a few years KG will be past his prime and the core they let go will be blowing up....they should sign peja and give us deng!
I understand the Sonics will put together a package to try to go after Garnett and include Rashard Lewis amongst others.
I'm not sure what kind of package Seattle can put together. Would they give up Lewis and Allen? Lewis and scrubs isn't gonna be enough to top what Paxson could possibly offer.
My guess is something like Lewis, Ridnour, Danny Fortson's expiring contract and one of the young centers (plus picks?). Or maybe something that includes signandtrade of Wilcox.
I understood from someone that Chicago wasn't willing to give up Deng, so I didn't know if the idea of going after KG was still happening for them.
Deng's good, but If I'm Paxson, I would rather hold onto Nocioni and Chandler.
Hinrich
Gordon
Garnett
Nocioni
and Chandler would be an impressive line-up.
Claxton stated earlier in the year that he missed San Antonio and the Spurs. He said he would love to be back. But as we all know, money talks.
Claxton has the china doll syndrome, but when he's healthy, he's goood. How much good? $2.5-3 million? Half the MLE.
He already made more than this season. I don't think he's taking a paycut. I think he will look for something like Earl Watson got -- $5M.
He got his payday when he left the Spurs. Depending how much another run at a le means to him MLE might be good enough. Finley and Claxton coming off the bench would be nice. Atleast we know what Finley will give us come crunch time. And Speedy pretty much finished game 6 vs the Nets so he knows the system quite well.
Sorry but I'm confused by this statement. He got $3M a year when he left the Spurs. MLE is $5M+ a year.He got his payday when he left the Spurs. Depending how much another run at a le means to him MLE might be good enough
Claxton made $3.6 million last year. The Spurs may be able to get him at $3.5 first year.
U must be joking.
How about Davis+Jaric+Blount+pick for TD?
As far as I know,he will get nearly the full MLE.
NOH has ton of cap space to give him.
