LOL @ Darius Washington.
He's overseas playing for some wack team right now. He's been long gone from the Spurs for a while.
Manufan909, you are not understanding correctly. Read the profile name to discern my iden y.

Let Go:
Horry, Vaughn, Finley, Stoudamire for sure
DerMarr Johnson, only sign if he's willing to take the league minimum
Barry- definitely resign him, 4th best player in the playoffs behind the big 3
Kurt Thomas- questionable. i really like mahinmi.
Sign Mahinmi and give him a chance, i really think he can be productive.
Don't sign Maggette, he doesn't play defense and is a ball hog.
Has anybody else considered trying to get rid of Bowen? Ime can step in and at least somewhat fill his shoes, and he's just too old now.
Also, does anybody know about the Splitter situation???
A little idea that I fiddled with:
duncan/mahinmi/bonner
thomas/oberto
bowen/udoka
barry/manu
parker/hill/vaughn
sign posey with mle
sign skinner with lle
trade udoka + bonner + cash for kelenna azubuike
sign foyle with min
thomas/oberto
duncan/mahinmi/skinner
bowen/posey
barry/manu/azubuike
parker/hill
ir1 vaughn
ir2 foyle
ir3 gist
E-mail this to RC and Pop immediately!!!
You're one of the only people on here I see advocating for back up big men, which I think is going to be important against the Lakers, Portland, Boston, and others come postseason.
What about Hairston? I haven't seen him much, but in a game I watched against Arizona, he seriously outplayed Chase Budinger.
Overall, this roster would be great.
Looking at the situation right now, my best case would be to sign Maggette for the MLE. As important would be to keep Barry. He knows the Spurs system and showed in the POs that he has something left. He would be awesome in a Kerr-type of role. I would also like Horry and Thomas back. You would go with a linup of:
Parker/ Hill/Vaughn
Bowen/ Ginobili/ Barry
Maggette/ Udoka/ Gist (if he makes the team)
Duncan/Bonner/ Horry
Mahinmi/Thomas/Oberto
What I like about this core is the versatility. You pair great slashers (TP, Maggette, Gino) with reliable shooters (Bowen, Udoka, Barry). You could also add a 3-point shooting big next to TD with Bonner or Horry. Mahinmi and Maggette would give the Spurs good athleticism. Along with that you have a VERY good rebounding team right there.
With that kind of depth you could rest Manu very good during the regular season.
I am not a big friend of signing Delfino because he never shot that ball THAT well. Last year was the fist time he surpassed the 35% from 3.
It will be interesting to see what happens...
I too would prefer Barry over Delfino for this season... maybe to a one year deal...
perhaps we should be going after azbuike while the warriors are focusing on brand and potentially wanting to sign CM.
plan (pipe dream ?)
Re - sign Thomas (4,5 mill.)
Sign and trade : Bonner + Vaughn + 2^ ch. to toronto for Delfino
sign Tony Allen (LLE for 2 years)
re sign Finley (3 mill. 2 years)
sign Kwame Brown (beno exception)
pm parker - hill - mason jr
g ginobili - allen - hairston
f bowen - udoka - finley

There are many good US players in Europe who could be NBA starters, like Anthony Parker did. The Spurs can gamble in these proven players.
Delonte Holland is playing great offense and defense in Italy, Terrence Morris is an all Euroleague First team. Both players fill a need, can create their own offense, and could fit the team need for a more offensive second unit.
Jardo.
Tim Duncan is now 32, and only getting older im curious why spurs havent drafted a big man that could be developing while tim is in his prime. They drafted duncan while drob had a few good years left allowing duncan to blossom into the player he is. You look at this spurs team and in 2 to 3 years it could be several needs. Bruce Bowen is 37, manu is 30, michael finley is 35, Robert Horry is 37, damon stoudamire is 34, Fabricio Oberto is 33 Kurt thomas is 35.
Wow, the Spurs are old.
What's going on with Kareem Rush? He had a very streaky season, but I don't know anything else because he was playing for ploohto's ty team.
He's an unrestricted free agent, and Oklahoma City is supposedly interested him.
He can be had for the minimum, I'm sure.
Would Shannon Brown be a good fit here? He's been off the radar for quite some time. For a second, I thought he was still with the Cavs.
Brown's shooting was erratic even in the D-League. I'd prefer more of a finished product considering all the inexperienced players we already have.
I would like them to sign Jeremy Richardson. Not the biggest signing, but serviceable and that's the most you can get at the end of your bench. Or signing Keith Langford, but I think I'm the only one that want to see that happening...
I wouldn't mind giving Jeremy another shot either.
If we are talking about that level of player, I'm fine rolling with Hairston for awhile. The Spurs can always waive him if something better comes along.
