The 15th Spot

Well we're well into that dead period of the NBA offseason after all the big names/decent role players have already been signed and for the most part the only guys left on the market are the has been's and the probably never will be's. But lately we've been linked to a lot of these guys (Bibby, Telfair, Young, Childress, Pietrus) so it seems like we might actually be signing someone to fill that 15th spot. So who do you guys want/think is a possibility?

I'm not sure if it's a possibility but I think Luke Walton is still a FA. Not sure if he fills a need Pop is looking for but I always liked his attitude and I think he would be a nice fit with the Spurs system if he has any game left. You can't have too many big bodies.
Now don't get me wrong, I'm not pulling for Luke or suggesting he solves any of the Spurs needs. The FA pool that's left is pretty thin and by looking at the official list, http://www.nba.com/freeagents/2013/ we are not going to find anyone who will have an impact anyway.

I think the Spurs will start the season with 15 players.
Probably will go with the best available - someone like Bibby, James Johnson, Young.

On the other hand I have the feeling one of the guards could still be waived before the season starts. Mills might be the odd man out, even though I like him more than Joseph.

I personally would love to see them get another big who can play as C next to Duncan. Splitter doesn't convince me much. But I don't see anyone really good out there. Camby was my favorite before signing with H.
What do you guys think about Haddadi? As long as he defends and is not shy to put the ball through the basket if he gets one would be fine with me. :)

Add Damien Wilkins to the list as well. He's a guy i'd actually like to get, he had a sneaky good season with Philly last year and i'm shocked no one has picked him up yet.

Interesting idea he could be the wing version of Diaw.
