I don't know Ohara, I kind of think that we should only fill the roster spot with ten day contracts. I don't think that is too big a risk and in my way of thinking it could turn out a bonus if the player we sign plays well. The D-League was created to give players a future shot at NBA glory and I don't think signing a D-League player to a ten day is much of a risk. We still have some time til the trade deadline so why not just use the ten day contracts now and see where we are by the deadline? I just know it is a matter of time before a star comes out of the D-League.Quote:

With the D-League there is plenty of players who have yet to see NBA playing time and should get that chance. I don't see a trade that brings us anything greater than Diop unless the team trades one of our core players. As the team is, it would be wrong to mess with the chemistry the team has begun to establish imo. ;)
Derrick Byars out of Vanderbilt would be good here. He's a 6'7'' SG/SF and is really solid all around. I'd love to give him a try
Sounds good to me. Our team is pretty well set so taking a chance without risk on ten day contract players can't really hurt.Quote:

Anyone would be fine on a 10 day, because if they dont pan out they walk away...We should look at NBA experienced guys tho, which was my main idea behind Coby Carl....
I haven't seen much of the d leaguers but I have heard about Gary Forbes who has been beasting it up. I think a 10 day contract can't hurt unless we are close to a deal now. Giving the players a chance just might be the dime in the rough that they were looking for.
Last time we brought a guy up from the D he ended up costing us something like $24 million over 6 years and we couldn't wait to get rid of him!!
In saying that, I'd like to bring up Marcus (the Arizona one) Williams, Derek Byars or James "Flight" White up on a 10 day to see what they could do.
Is James White under contract with San Antonio?Quote:
