i say we enjoy this ride the spurs are on right now, and worry about that FO stuff later....
It's way premature but this is a guy the Spurs should go after this summer to shore up the swing man position. The Warriors will be pinned down making offers to Biedrins and Ellis so he should be obtainable. Young, athletic, all around player with a decent outside shot.

Young, athletic, all around player with a decent outside shot......on an ultra run and gun team that does not require a player to play defense?
Sorry to hear about your limited focusing capacity.
Azubuike and James Jones will be pimped as favorites for the "under the radar" signing this next summer by the Spurs.
Either would be nice, and both would make this team significantly younger than it currently is.
You'd have to come with a strong offer as he'll be a RFA. But do you commit, say $20 mil over 4 years to a 24 year old guard who hasn't averaged more than 9 points a night in the NBA, let alone played more than one complete season?
This guy I like.
But we're probably not going to get anyone who wants more than two years unless he's awesome and available for just the MLE.
Spurs have a decision, are they going to hold off for 2010 or making themselves strong for the 3-4 years Duncan has left in the tank?
sign him. he got sick dunks and blocks
hes one of the three wings on my list, along with james jones and carlos delfino. spurs probably end up going in a totally different direction, but these players are the ones i really want.
3.9 boards in 21 minutes? And a great 3 pointer? Where do I sign?
I also want to hear the national TV buffoons trip over saying "Azbuike and Udoka in the backcourt..."
too much $.
get Walter Hermann, he is as good or better. Detroit is not using him
Herrmann and Bonzi Wells split the MLE?
Spurs will need some youth at the wing next year.
I don't know a lot Azubuike but it could be an interesting name.
It will be interesting to see if Spurs will eat a part of the 2010 capspace by offering a contract longer than 2 years to player.
Artest would probably be worth scrapping 2010.
I'd be happy with any of those three.
Hermann is a 3-4.
As for Bonzi, him, great rebounder, Spur-killer, but I don't want to barrack for him because he's a selfish headcase.
I watch a lot of Warrior games being near the bay area and Azubuike would be a perfect fit here. He's tough, hustles, plays defense, does all the little things that often go unnoticed. He has a knack for rebounds and putbacks and has great timing. You'll be asking yourself how'd he get that rebound as he sorts sneaks in without you realizing it.
Azubuike, yeah another JVG and Caroll Dawson stupid move.
Seems like Azubuike and Ime are cut from the same cloth. Too bad the Spurs didn't go after him while he was still in the D-league. Still, he's one of the few players I'd really like to see them try to sign this summer.
has everyone forgotten about Mickael Pietrus?
He's also a free agent this summer.
And considering that he's already 26 and hasn't improved much since his rookie year, has had a down season this year . . .
, he might come cheaper than Azubuike.
he might, but hes also as dumb as a shoe (think elson on the wing), and may not have the ceiling that buike does at this point (and buikes ceiling isnt very high at all, what you see may very well be what you get with buike).
the phrase "cheap for a reason" comes to mind...
Too obvious....
Pietrus has always been one of those guys that the Spurs should theoretically be interested in because he's foreign, athletic, and has good defensive potential.
But for all the interest Pietrus has gotten on this forum (myself included), I haven't seen anything to suggest that he's actually someone the Spurs would target.
Having said that, the one thing that makes him more likely than Azubuike is his unrestricted status as a FA....and that could be enough.
I honestly wouldn't mind either, but like I said....Pietrus just looks too obvious to actually be a Spur.
I think the plan/hope is that after Jarvis Hayes plays out this years contract, we bring Hermann back as Tayshaun's main backup.
i agree. we dont know what the spurs could be like come next year, especially since we're gonna play more games this season than any other team besides the pistons
I would prefer Azubuike over Pietrus. Hopefully the Spurs can nab him for a reasonable contract.
