1. Draft a SF.
2. If not, trade for Nocioni or sign Pietrus.
3. If not, THEN sign Barnes.

He'll probably be overpaid because of his great playoff run, but if the price is right I can see him being the perfect "replacement" for Bruce down the road. He did all the little things for GS this season, and he definitely has a little dirty in him. At 6'7" and with those long arms, he'll be able to guard any 3 in the league. I just don't think he'd be quick enough side to side to guard people like Steve Nash or Derron Williams. Definitely not Bruce in that regard.
What would be paying too much for this guy? Is he a better option than anyone we could get in the draft?

1)No rookie would be able to contribute his first year the way Barnes could
2)Barnes is a better option than both of those guys, especially Noccioni
3)It would be nice, Im just hoping its not to expensive
UCLA!
He'd be a good fit. Shot selection isn't the greatest, but I think it's a result of Nellie's system.
Nellie system is shoot first think later... don't talk about shot selection
wouldn't mind seeing him in a spurs uni...plays with passion, can hit the 3, does the dirty work. he can step in and contribute immediately.
If we actually go for an unrestricted free agent signing (which we may not this year), Barnes may be the only viable options. He's pretty awesome and may be in a range that we can afford. If not, I wouldn't be too disappointed though.
Barnes has been brought in to work out for San Antonio in several past summers and for some reason never wants to sign here.
I would love to have him, but he prefers to stay in northern California. Last year, if Golden State or the Kings didn't sign him, he was going to go to the NFL instead of stay in the NBA. So I don't know if he will even be an option.
heck no
are you kidding???
matt barnes torched the out of my team and I still wouldn't want them to sign him.
he's playing in a gimmicky offense, he played halfway decent in his contract year (always a bad sign), and besides killing Dallas, he really didn't play that great. Unless he sticks with Nellie, he's going to go back to being the pile of he was before. I wholeheartedly encourage the Spurs to sign him.
Ummm, no. Andrés Nocioni is exactly what we need. Hes more polished at this stage of his career than Barnes will likely ever be and he already has chemistry with Manu and Fabri. Barnes would be a waste of money.
If they look at Barnes, it won't be just because of his offense against Dallas. It will be the same reasons they have looked at him in years past ... they like his D and his intensity.
But I don't think he'll end up here. If he was going to end up here, it probably would have happened a couple summers back.
I think his stock has gone past our budget to obtain him. We could really use an energy guy like him though.
Maybe I'm wrong but I don't see Barnes at all as a good defender. He hustle a lot but it's not enough to be a good defender. Nocioni is too in the same category to me.
Nocioni isnt a great defender, isnt quick or athletic, and played like dog in this years playoffs. The chemistry thing is fine and all, but Berrty might not even be here and it doesnt seem to matter who the Spurs bring in, they always seem to bring in guys that mesh pretty well, especially in their second year. I just have never really like Andres game. But as Kori said, it probably doesnt matter about Barnes anyway
He was injured.
Nocioni usualy step up in the playoffs.
You can't really bash a guy with a one year contract for only being good in his contract year. He's never had a long term deal before. Every year of his career has been a contract year.
I liked Barnes when he was with Sacto -- a good energy player, which you can always use. He was great all season for the Warriors, not just the playoffs. He's going to be too expensive though. No way we're overspending for a free agent with so much depth at the 3. And that neck tattoo is horrible.
He averaged over 25 minutes a game against the Heat and was horrible. He didnt play as much against Detroit but was still horrible. I guess coming off an injury is a decent excuse, but Skiles shouldnt have played him the minutes he played if he was hurt
He was injured.
Nocioni usualy step up in the playoffs.
I don't understand all the love for Nocioni. I think he is good, but to me people are making him seem like he is Jordan or something.
I think it's just that we've seen what kind of heart and fire Argentines play with, and we want some more.
He wasn't coming off an injury, he was still injured during the playoffs. He has to wear now a walking boot for two months.
I agree that Skiles shouldn't have used him during he playoffs but Nocioni wanted to play despite the pain. He is a tough player and a winner.
I hate buying high -- especially from a guy who played for Nellie.
Matt Barnes is okay. If we could get him for about 500K per year then yeah...why not?
Matt Barnes did a tremendous job defending Dirk Nowitzki in the playoffs...both straight-up and in traps and switches off the screen/rolls.
He'd help the Spurs and he would be a nice 3/4 who can knock down the corner 3.
