I doubt we'd be able to get both Diop and Pietrus.
And I don't want Pietrus.
And I'd try my best to resign Thomas.
Assuming the following- Horry retires, Stoudamire leaves, Splitter comes over, We draft brandon rush, Thomas leaves, We get Diop, Barry retires, we get Mickael Pietrus. Other moves would be made, but the general outlook would be-
C- Diop/Oberto/Splitter
PF- Duncan/Splitter/Mahinmi/Bonner
SF- Bowen/Pietrus/Udoka/Rush
SG- Ginobili/Finely/Rush
PG- Parker/Vaughn

Okay switch pietrus with thomas
Finley isn't under contract next year. Quite possible he retires, or possibly leaves the Spurs looking for 1 more payday. But there's a real possibility he's not on the Spurs next year.
I'd love to resign Thomas. Horry, Stoudamire, and Finley are gone. Didn't Barry just sign an extension?
Resign Thomas.
Sign Splitter.
Sign James Jones
draft a wing
call it a summer
pg: parker/vaughn
sg: manu/MLE free agent/1st round pick
sf: bowen/ime
pf: duncan/thomas/ian
c: oberto/splitter
throw in a 3rd pg (vet scrub or kid), and maybe another wing (i would think vet in that case, maybe barry if hes around?) and call it a roster.
as far as who fills the missing spots, guys like james jones, carlos delfino, kelenna azubuike could all potentially fill the MLE-type guy spot. as for the draft, i just pray rush is still on the board, and if not, i wouldnt mind picking up courtney lee. a lot of the other names that get brought up dont really interest me.
Resign Barry, Horry, Finley, Damon, tell Splitter to stay overseas, watch the Mavericks repeat as NBA Champions!![]()

Both Splitter and Mahinmi might not be here. I doubt they can get Diop. They will probably try to trade Bonner, I would imagine.
Finley, Horry and Barry might all retire.
I'm not crazy about Pietrus. I'd like to see the Spurs get a young swingman and backup PG.
Chris Duhon is most likely not returning to the Bulls next season, he has good size for a PG
If the matrix opts out, it would be nice he came to S.A. but it's just a dream, would be cool to have his rebounding and versatile defense, not the best but good enough.
What are people's opinions on the odds of Darius Washington coming back for another go?
that all depends on what his contract length is overseas
NBADraft.net has Rush going at #35
http://www.nbadraft.net/
DraftExpress has him at #25

Hopefully he doesn't light up Davidson today.
Am I also the only one that thinks the Spurs will try to re-sign Jeremy Richardson?
we need a PG sub that can shoot the ball. Maybe V-Span
Resign Thomas
Finley, Horry and Barry will all probably retire - at least Horry will but I doubt if Finley wants to come bak we will give him the big $$ he might want and go elsewhere.
I'm not high on Pietrus - great talent but very low BB IQ and we all know how that goes over with "Poppy"
Bonner will most likely be trade bait but I have a feeling Pop will give him one more shot in the beginning of next year and if it dosen't work out then he's gone. Hate to give up on him but he has been given opportuni es to perform and has been inconsistent.
Duhon looks possible as a backup to Tony. I'd like to grab him if we can.
The Matrix doesn't seem likely since he will demand huge $$ and that just isn't going to happen IMO. This FO wont s out the type of $$ Matrix will believe he deserves.
I don't know what is going to happen to Ian. I think I read in ST that the Spurs have promised him a shot/spot next year. I don't think he has matured enough to stay out of foul trouble in the NBA. I hope I'm wrong on that.
This summer will be interesting to say the least.

marion should resing a little bit of money to sign with the spurs (we could be unbeatable with tony, manu, bruce, tim and the matrix) but i don't see Shawn as smart as Tim or Manu
I agree that if the Matrix did sign with us we would have a great team but look at who he is. He has come across as self centered and has openly complained in the press about his situation with the Suns. That doesn't sound lik a "Spur" to me and considering how the FO and Pop have viewed the character of the player as an important criteria for signing one it seems very unlikely that this happens.
And yes I also agree that the Matrix isn't as smart as either TD aor Manu.
Quite low.
Depends on whether Atlanta has any plans for him.Am I also the only one that thinks the Spurs will try to re-sign Jeremy Richardson?
maybe all that could change with a championship and the chance of many more.
and the smart part was 'cause duncan and ginobili resigned money to play in a better team but i don't see marion doing that.
Finley, Damon, Barry, and Horry retire.
Draft Brandon Rush, Goran Dragic.
Sign Splitter, James Jones, and Jeremy Richardson.
C Thomas/Oberto/Splitter
PF Duncan/Mahinmi/Bonner*
SF Bowen/Udoka/Rush**
SG Manu/Jones/Richardson
PG Tony/Vaughn/Dragic**
*On IR.
**Assigned to Toros.
Decent?
spurs need to get a little younger no matter what the postseason does
If Mahinmi isn't packaged to get rid of Bonner's salary, he'll be on the team.
Splitter will be here.
Finley, Horry, Stoudamire gone.
I'd expect them to go after V-Spanoulis.
Some wing they'll go after, like James Jones, and probably get him.
They might draft a domestic SF like Brandon Rush. That'd be my pick right now, but who knows what they do.
