General manager R.C. Buford of the San Antonio Spurs has some roster flexibility to play with this offseason. Consecutive first-round exits in the playoffs could put the team in position to trade some assets to plug holes in their rotation. The most blatant need for the team at this point is at the small forward position.
San Antonio has three players at the small forward on expiring contracts this offseason: Rudy Gay, Dante Cunningham and Quincy Pondexter. All three fit nicely with the team’s culture, but none of these players truly push the envelope for the team as currently constructed.
