David West signed for vet min

West has said that he's willing to take the vet min for a chance at a ring so I guess anything is possible. He'd be a perfect addition to our frontcourt.

Would love to have him

Boris can easily play as a backup C.
Shaq on Duncan:SA won because of TD, a guy I could never break.I could talk trash to Ewing, get in D-Rob's face, get a rise out of Mourning,but when I went at Tim he’d look at me like he was bored and say:“Hey,Shaq, watch this shot right off the glass.”

West could do it too. Still would be nice to 3rd big that's a true center though.

Wasn't keen on him being a plan B but an addition after we have Aldridge? Hell yeah!!

David West is not a vet min player

He can get more than Paul Pierce.

He should be able to get more than Ed Davis.

David West value has got to be ahead of Rolo or close to it.

Bring on all the veteran ring chasers... It's our only way to get some depth on this team.

The guy I really hope we can grab is Rasual Butler. He'd be a great Marco replacement.

And you guys get him on a vet min deal. Congrats. He seems like the perfect Spurs player.

You guys ain't playing this year.

I really want to hate on it and LMA and stupid Duncan and Manu for not retiring but what can I say? There is a reason you guys are the class organization of the Association.


Spoiler:
And I really would be sad if Duncan and Manu had retired. League will be worse when they are gone.

I don't get it. I feel like I should hate your team, but I don't. I guess Tim Duncan is just that lovable.

Ha ha... I always disliked him. For some reason, a lot of that disdain has vanished rather quickly in the last few minutes...

Perfect backup to LMA. A little worried about depth at Center still. Unless Pop goes with a smaller lineup w/ Timmy out.

Spurs aggressively pursuing David West

Helleva pick up by the Spurs. West should provide toughness, rebounding, and some offense to help the Spurs win games. For him to turn down a good chunk of money to go to a team that has practically catapult themselves to go further into the playoffs once again speaks volumes.

LMA might not like playing Center, but he's gonna have to play it this year even though it's not full time.

Return to San Antonio Spurs
