What do u think will happen if McDyess will not cone here? Do u really think they would give the Full MLE to Big Baby?? That’s enough to make me sick…

Dallas is trying to work a Marion sign and trade.

Bentley,

The Marion bullet was more of a Plan D curiosity. But he is out there and the Spurs could theoretically find the right minutes for him. It’s almost like the Spurs have shown both bowers and their MLE is an ace off suit their still holding. That should be enough for three tricks, but they haven’t had a chance to use it just yet.

Yeah i think waiting until the summer league over to fill up the backup 3 spot will be a good idea… unless we can make a trade for lets say a Travis Outlaw…

But i’m hoping the spurs land a big that will play alongside TD sonner rather than later…

Bonner and Mason might our trade assets…
but i’m hesistant to part with Mason this early he showed some promise last season….

Finley has a Bird right he can refuse a trade…

I really like the Shawn Marion idea. but it iks unlikely for him to come over and sign with us, although it would be a great shot at getting a ring.

I think a priority for the Spurs is to get Mcdyess. He is a seasoned vet who can play center and help Timmy on the defensive end.

Although I don’t mind Bonner being on the second unit, trading him and Finley might be a good option. Malik Hairston has some great upside, and it would be smart for the FO to wait until Summer League is over.

The good news, we have nowhere to go but up

If we can sign a player like Marion for a year, i think it would be nice for us…. but if i’m the Spurs i’d only do this after getting big that could play alongside Timmy D. Possible big men that comes to mind will be: McDyess, Bass, Gooden (don’t if we still like hime), Lee (but as Tim mentioned might hinder Blair’s development), Wilcox (maybe)… but these are just suggestions i believe the Spurs F.O. is way better than what i think…..
Go Spurs Go!

sydneylla, I think Ross has already given a verbal agreement to Dallas.

I completely agree with your last bullet point. The Spurs cannot afford to lose their young talent in the wings (Marcus Williams, Gist, Hairston, McClinton) for the likes of Bonner or Finley. Neither player will be on the roster in 2010-11 so if the Spurs have to buy one or the other to hold onto the rights within their young stockpile, so be it.

I’ve said this in comments on other posts but I think a nice, cheap option behind RJ at the 3 would be Quinton Ross. Good defender, can hit the outside shot, although he’s admittedly kind of streaky. And did I mention he’d be cheap? Assuming we keep Fin, he’d be a nice third option at the 3 spot who could move up the depth chart in defensive situations. If we trade Fin, slide him into the backup role w/ Hairston as the third-stringer. Also he’d be cheap.

If the Spurs deem Harrison not up to snuff in the backup SF/defensive wing man role during Summer League, then look for them to deal for Diawara, of the Heat.

The Heat are committed to playing Beasley more at the three, want to re-sign Moon, their likely starter at the three, and also want to see what Wright, a once promising prospect who’s been injury riddled the past few years, can do, in this the final year of his contract. Throw in Jones, a shooter who’s also due to see minutes there and they’re overloaded. Also, the Spurs were reported to have interest in Diawara last off season.

If you can get a player like Marion for the MLE for 1 year you do it. The attitude won’t be a problem because he would be coming to a team that’s established and a head coach who won’t tolerate it. On top of that he would be in a contract year and wouldn’t want to blow his next and possibly last opportunity for a big pay day.
