Once players’ new contracts are signed, starting Thursday, the Spurs are likely to only have minimum deals left to offer.
In their search for bench fillers, the Spurs have been linked to veteran wings Caron Butler, Rasual Butler and Tayshaun Prince. They are also believed to have interest in Kevin Seraphin, the 25-year-old Washington center who shares a spot on the French national team with Tony Parker and Boris Diaw.

Dallas will have a ton of cap space, and they'll most likely tank but at least this gives them a wing and a backup center. IDK...worth a shot, gets rid of $7.5 mil of salary.

Yeah, Blair needs to lose weight before he should be even considered for a starting job. And starting both Gortat and Blair would clog the middle just like it did by starting Gortat and Nene...probably even more so since Blair can't shoot and teams would not have to guard against him making the short jumper that Nene and Hump will often knock down.
The Zards are building their offense around its best player, JWall, which means opening up the middle for drives and PnR with Gortat, and spreading the floor with Beal, Dudley, Neal, Anderson, Porter, Webster (maybe) and Oubre (hopefully), shooters who JWall will find for a ton of open looks.

http://www.nba.com/clippers/recap-7/5/15Wolters’ team-leading 18 points weren’t enough to get past the Pistons (1-1) and No. 8 overall pick Stanley Johnson, who added 24 points as the Clippers fell, 77-69.O’Connor complimented the job Wolters, who went 7-of-12 from the floor, has done running the Clippers’ offense. It was Wolters who cut the deficit to nine points on a 3-pointer with 3:27 remaining in the fourth quarter.
“I tried to give the team a spark when I had the ball in my hands,” Wolters said. “I was able to get to the basket and finish. It’s nice to be able to contribute. All of the guys here are playing hard, so I’m just trying to do whatever I can to help.”

http://www.kdlt.com/sports/Nate-Wolters-Starts-In-Summer-League-Opener/33998610Former South Dakota State Jackrabbit star Nate Wolters had a solid start to his NBA Summer League season.
Wolters started for the Los Angeles Clippers and scored 12 points, grabbed five rebounds and dished out four assists in LA's 75-74 loss to the Orlando Magic in Orlando.
Wolters will play this week with the Clippers and join the San Antonio Spurs, coached by Rapid City native Becky Hammon, next week in Las Vegas.
Wolters would be really good to have right behind Sessions, if this GM was worth a darn.

Good to know. I had brought up Charlie a few time recently and several times over the years.
Would be a decent cheap stretch big vet. But if DJ doesn't go to DAL, at some point, they need to #FreeDirk
He could be our new Paul Pierce.
