two open spots

With two open spots and a need for a big in a bad way. Where do you see the spurs going?

Down the standings IMO. I'm losing hope real fast.

Well, right now I'm hoping for some guys getting bought out and come to us. But I have no idea who is rumored to be bought out. Z and who else?

IF, I say IF

they bring in a big, I would not be surprised at them calling up Dwayne Jones from the Toros. He's playing really good down there, averaging 14.9 rbds/gm, which is a D-league all time record for a season... He is shooting 0.616, and is at least comfortable in the Spurs rotations, as the Toros play the same scheme and he has been there for roughly a full season so far (20 games last season, and this season to date).

I can't really see them bringing anyone in because they'll pay double for the contract as they are far in lux tax land.

Always liked Dwayne Jones and he has improved since being relatively raw initially

Throw him in the fire next to Duncan (or after some games of coming off bench) and go from there.

If we're gonna bring in Dwayne Jones and play him big minutes, might as well give Blair 40 minutes a game and give the rest to Ian Mahinmi.
