there are a few names that I would not mind seeing on the roster for the right price.
I am not saying that any of these guys will end up on the Spurs, it's just interesting that so many guys that were in the league last year haven't been signed yet.

there are a few names that I would not mind seeing on the roster for the right price.
I thought Orien Greene went to the Pacers?
Most of them have signed with a team.
This is NBA.com's current list.
Not most of them. Maybe a few of them. None of the bolded ones are signed anywhere.
Will Bynum is on Maccabi.
Greene on the Pacers.
Who else on the list is signed?
If I remember well :
Alex Acker : Greece
Shandon Anderson : will maybe re-sign with Miami
Will Bynum : Maccabi
Tony Delk : Greece
Richie Frahm : Italy
Orien Greene : Pacers
Mario Kasun : Spain
Toni Kukoc : bucks, Bulls, Madrid or retirement
Arvydas Macijauskas : Greece
Boniface Ndong : will likely sign Clippers QO
Michael Olowokandi : maybe Spain
Zoran Planinic : Spain
Nikoloz Tskitishvili : Sonics
Alvin Williams : isn't a FA
Some of those on foreign teams haven't really signed yet. Skita isn't signed with the Sonics, no matter what he said in the Georgian paper. He hasn't even been invited to training camp yet.
^^ Yes, it's not most of them.
Doug-hornets
Kemp-Wont make it back
Jay-I say 76ers
As far as I know, only Kukoc and Olowakandi haven't signed with the foreign team.
He was released by the Raptors. Did he officially retire?Alvin Williams : isn't a FA
I wouldn't mind Kelvin Cato.
Yeah but I never trust hearing that a player signed with a foriegn team until I see them playingSomeone here said that Hiram Fuller signed with Pau. And I talked to him last night and he didn't - he'll be in Jazz training camp.
I don't think he has been released.

Raptors Release Alvin Williams
(July 26, 2006) -- The Toronto Raptors announced Wednesday they have released guard Alvin Williams. Per team policy, financial details were not disclosed.
“I have the greatest respect for Alvin Williams, both as a basketball player and as a human being,” said Bryan Colangelo, president and general manager of the Raptors. “Parting ways is simply something that needed to be done for this franchise and Alvin to both move forward.”
Williams has been sidelined by an injured right knee that has limited him to one game since March 19, 2004. He had microscopic surgery on the knee November 22, 2004 and arthroscopic surgery in December.
Williams was acquired from Portland on February 13, 1998 and is the club’s all-time assist leader with 1,791 and second in games played at 417. He averaged 9.3 points and 5.6 assists in the regular season and 12.5 points and 4.3 assists in 18 postseason games.
Doug - Has been working out with a different NBA team for the last couple weeks
Kemp - Supposedly is really in shape, but I doubt it too
Jay - I don't think he'll make it back
Even Pau's owner has written it in a letter for season ticket holder.![]()
Rumor in Pau was that they haven't re-signed him use he was overweight after his injury, it looks like it was more because some nba teams were interested in him.
Jay Williams has received a training camp invite from Nets, I don't know what answer he has given or if he has still given his answer.
Well he is chubbyOne concern is that during summer league, he was sent home (by the Jazz) because of some high blood pressure concerns. But I talked to him last night on text message and he said he got it checked out and it was an isolated incident ... and that he'll be in Jazz camp.
Other than Bonzi, they all suck
Not really.
There's a bunch of guys worth picking up for some team.
Bonzi, Ely, QWoods.
Even Van Horn, Cato, Palacio, McCarty, etc are worth the minimum at least.
--Kori
Yeah, what did Cato do to piss the entire league off? He is a serviceable backup banger - I thought he would be a good fit here for the minimum.
, I'd have Van Horn on the Spurs for the minimum. You only play him in spots for his shooting. Really, we should respect this guy a little more. In game 7 he hit two (three?) 3s when we left him open...
