Sacramento's Maurice Evans, an athletic 6-5 swingman, is a restricted free agent but should be available now that the Kings have added Bonzi Wells and Shareef Abdur-Rahim.

Evans' agent, Roger Montgomery, said his client has been negotiating with Minnesota on a possible deal but clearly has the Spurs on his list. Evans, a University of Texas alum, has a house in San Antonio.

"It's no secret that Mo would love to play for the Spurs," Montgomery said.

Other potential targets for the Spurs include 6-8 Indiana forward James Jones, 6-6 New Orleans swingman Casey Jacobsen and 6-5 Melvin Sanders, who was considered the top defender in the Big 12 at Oklahoma State.

Buford said it may be a while before everything is sorted out.

"The market will close (today)," Buford said. "At that point, I don't think there is a timetable. You're at the mercy of other teams and other players."
