Ziller ranks top Free Agents

This is an interesting list. I'm not sure I agree with all his rankings, but it's a nice read.

I saw this – made me think that maybe Leon Powe wouldn’t be a bad big guy to sign.

I like it.

I would love that, actually.

First you must find... another shrubbery! Then, when you have found the shrubbery, you must place it here, beside this shrubbery, only slightly higher so you get a two layer effect with a little path running down the middle. Then, you must cut down the mightiest tree in the forrest... with... a herring!

If I’m not wrong, after his injury 2 seasons back, he seems to have lost it a little bit. I could be wrong.

Keep the faith!!

I was on board with Powe the first time Boston let him go. He’s big, and fairly experienced.

I'm not as good as I once was...and that's just the cold, hard truth.

He’d be cheap in the very least. And hungry to get back. He’s just been burried on teams with too much talent.

I wouldn’t mind seeing Afflalo and/or Battier in a Spurs jersey.

by Big50 on Nov 30, 2011 3:32 PM CST reply actions

I prefer Afflalo, but with (Wilson) Chandler stuck in China, the Nuggs are likely to match anything we can throw at him. Battier is unrestricted, I believe, and while he’s lost a few steps, he be a great mentor for one Kawhi Leonard.

would* be a great mentor.

by Tim C. on Nov 30, 2011 3:40 PM CST up reply actions

I’d love either, but it depends what you want. If you want young, then you expect him on the team for a while. If you need onlyu a few years, you go with Battier, which is probably what you try to do with the wealth of potential talent at the wings (Leonard, Green, Anderson, Butler).

If we don’t bring back Steve Novak, I might cry a little.

Unbelievable Time distortion space is the place Mean Gene Okerlund go down that lonesome highway but don't be hypnotized no- reincarnation doesn't have to be you can concentrate and you can-mental telepathy YEAH! But the beat goes on.

I’d imagine he’ll be on the camp roster, at the very least.

by Tim C. on Nov 30, 2011 4:20 PM CST up reply actions

He was just instant points off the bench. He’s exactly what you want as a specialist- doesn’t need time or touches to score efficiently. Not a great (or even average defender) but if you need to put someone in cold at the end of the game for a 3…he might be the best option in the league. He could play 2 seconds and end up with 3 points no problem.

by SpursfanSteve on Nov 30, 2011 5:43 PM CST up reply actions

As long as he’s not inbounding the ball in those final 2 seconds.

That’s a fairly generous limitation, is it not? :)

It actually is. You’ve left him 47 minutes and 58 seconds when he’s free to inbound the ball, and you’ve even granted him the right to play in those last two seconds, as long has he’s out on the court and eligible to receive a pass.

Well, he did cost the Spurs a W.

I don’t expect the Spurs would have much to spend, so looking in the bargain bin Josh McRoberts could be interesting. It’s been a while since I’ve looked much at basketball, but it seems Indiana would be focusing on keeping other players and therefore not match an offer (thinking he’s a restricted). It seems he played fairly well against the Spurs and put up some fair numbers but the Pacers were going with Hansbrough.

tyson chandler just said he doesn't expect to return to dallas

if we could afford him he would be perfect here, however no team would benefit as much from his presence as miami.

i’m also hearing that b-roy has been officially amnestized.

by iheartyourfart on Nov 30, 2011 10:25 PM CST reply actions

Not official yet, but it’s being seriously discussed, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it happened on Thursday.

Its really a shame about Roy. He seems like a good guy, and I think, with limited usage, would be a great Spur. As much as I would love to have Chandler, I believe he hears LBJ, Bosh, Wade and Riles in Miami calling louder.
