There were several new faces on the San Antonio Spurs roster to start the 2006-07 NBA season. Six newcomers joined the nine players returning from the 2005-06 campaign.
Centers Francisco Elson and Jackie Butler, along with point guard Jacque Vaughn were picked up in free agency in July. Also, forwards Matt Bonner and Eric Williams were acquired from the Toronto Raptors in exchange for Rasho Nesterovic in June.
The Spurs also added James White, a high-flying swingman out of University of Cincinnati. White's contract was not fully guaranteed start the season, but he stuck throughout the year. The league allows each team to carry up to fifteen players during the regular season.
Midway through the season, the Spurs traded Williams to the Bobcats, acquiring Melvin Ely.
After losing to the Dallas Mavericks in the second round of the playoffs to end their 2005-06 season, the Spurs finished the 2006-07 regular season with a record of 58-24 and the third seed as they headed into the postseason.
