Are Spurs interested in signing Rasual Butler?

Published Jul. 7, 2015 4:41 p.m. ET

The San Antonio Spurs are loaded, with LaMarcus Aldridge and David West joining Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili, Tony Parker, Danny Green and Kawhi Leonard on a run to the title next season. 

But the Spurs lost a bit of depth along the way. Tiago Splitter, Marco Belinelli, Cory Joseph and Aron Baynes all play for different teams now. To get back on track they'll need to fill out their roster using limited financial resources. 

That means Rasual Butler may be on their radar.

Butler shot 38.7 percent from behind the three-point line last season, but dramatically faded as the year went on. His three-point percentage dropped to 28.4 percent after the All-Star break, and the 36-year-old was cut out of Washington's playoff rotation entirely thanks to his poor play.

But in San Antonio, as a 10th or 11th man, he still has a little bit of value knocking down open shots when necessary. On a veteran's minimum contract, he's worth it.
