Totally agree, If he’s there take Courtney Lee. This guy could end up being a steal. And if someone like Josh Childress is available make a play for him as well. This old man gang shit won’t get it done anymore.

They’re not getting rid of Vaughn. I don’t know why… I just feel deep in my soul, that for some inexplicable reason. the JV will continue to plague our musings. They might not even bring up Mahinmi… probably just to piss us off.

Dead on, MU. Jacque isn’t going anywhere though, no matter how many of us click our heals together. And I wouldn’t be so quick to say that Findog will be seen rotting on the bench. If he’s on the roster next season (and he likely will be), plan to see him continue to start unless we pick someone up out of free agency to fill his position. I hope I’m wrong, but I’d put money on Fin being back in his 25+ minutes per game role next year. Bottom line is that we’ve got to go after free agents and not depend solely on the draft if we want to stay relevant next year.

With Splitter out of the picture, Mahinmi will definitely get a shot at some minutes this season. Let’s hope he is up to the task.

Bonner is under contract, and not a hot commodity so we should expect him to be on the roster. If Ian does not perform well, then Bonner will likely see more minutes. I hope he can play like he did for Toronto again, but he really stunk up the court in the first half of this season (and thus was relegated to being the human victory cigar).

DerMarr Johnson will likely play for the Spurs in the summer league. He will have to show something to make a roster spot. He definitely has potential, but his ship may have sailed. He is a longshot to make it with the Spurs, but it is good to have him there in case he blows up in the summer. Stephen Jackson was in a similar position when he joined the Spurs.

Have you read news that Finley is being re-signed, or are you just making a prediction? I could see it happening, but I really think his playing days should be over. Finley is fools gold. He will play outstanding about 1 in 5 games. The rest of the time he torpedoes the team with his horrible defense and bricklayers jumpshot.

I really do not want Chalmers signed onto a first round contract. I just don’t see him contributing right away. He could easily be another JV. I wouldn’t mind Courtney Lee, but I am hoping some SF steal will fall to us in the first round (or we trade up). If so, we might be able to get J.R. Giddens in the 2nd round. Giddens is probably better than Lee, but has lower stock because his team did not make the dance, and because he has some outdated character concerns (is a model citizen now).

Pietrus would be a nice addition provided they don’t pay too much. It’s not like he is helpless on offense. He shoots 44% from the field and 35% from beyond the arc for his career. Playing besideTim Duncan, Manu, and Tony Parker I could see those numbers improving. His defense is outstanding. His only problem is with his assist to turnover ratio. He needs to work on his passing, but that is something that could definitely be taught.

I also wouldn’t mind Kelenna. You might not think of him as the missing piece, but really the only thing missing this season was a healthy Manu. Azubuike or Pietrus would add some much needed athleticism to the bench.

That being said, I am really hoping the Spurs can get Josh Childress. I would consider Pietrus and Azubuike backup plans at this point.

I don’t know why you predict a second round exit. It could happen, but if the Spurs are all healthy they can beat any team in the league in a 7 game series. This years Lakers team was more lucky than good, and I don’t believe the hype on Bynum.
