D-BO!

he is one of those players I want the spurs to look at, he already knows the system

The Spurs need to keep their flexibility in summer of 2010 to bring in another Star Player. They should avoid any big contracts that last longer than 2 years. If some of our old vets want to stick around for the league min. like Barry, Horry, Finley and Vaughn the Spurs should consider to take them up on that so we can fill out the roster and still afford to bring on another young gun. They just can't keep all of the geezers.

This year has good talent do we really need another Super Star ?

I think we need more good quality depth to pair with parker/Duncan Manu

We need to add 2 good young players besides Ian this sumer if it is at all possible

Ime returns which I like him coming of the bench a long 3 would be nice; Ian in the Mix at the Power Forward spot



Vaugn for vet minimum please fill that spot with Washington and keep him he was better than Vaugn and Pop came off looking like a moron when he had to start Vaugn when Tony was injured Washington would cost less than Vaugn

Of our free agents, I would only want Barry and Thomas back since Barry had some fire left and Thomas still fills the need of a complimentary big man. Horry and Finley have nothing left in the tanks, Stoudamire was a joke, we still can't get quality minutes out of Vaughn when Parker sits, and DerMarr isn't smart enough to know that he can afford a cab or limo ride home.
