"Horry Won't Be Back" - RC Buford

[DPG21920]

It may be a valid way to negotiate if you're the New York Knicks and you want to be 30 million over the luxury tax. For any team with any sense of fiscal responsibility, it's not.

As was covered before, there is ZERO reason to make an offer to Thomas at this point. The only possible outcomes in that situation are

1) they offer him too much and are on the hook for a bad contract at above fair market value.

2) they offer him too little, piss him off, and he walks.

Again, there is no reason for the Spurs front office to make him an offer and every reason for them to wait. Yes, he is unrestricted but by all indications he wants to be in SA and will give them every opportunity to match or beat any offer he receives.

Sit back, relax, and pop in the 2005 championship DVD or something.

I am fine, it was just economic theory conversation. Was that post in retrospect as bad as you made it sound?

[ChumpDumper]

Would Bonner have swiped Nash's crossover during the playoffs? Would he have hip-checked West?Would he have shot over 20%?

[knee-knee-3]

Gist will probably spend a little time in Austin.

Next.

So Bonner is your answer?

[knee-knee-3]

Would he have shot over 20%?

absolutely NOT!

[4everSpurFan]

Good they are finally letting him go!!!

Thanks for all the clutch shops Rob (game 5 2005 finals:lobt:) (game 4 2007 1st round vs nuggets)

THis past year he really hurt the team with his old age body and his worst shooting season ever.. Oh well gl

[ChumpDumper]

So Bonner is your answer?While Gist gets ready. Yes. Of course we could always sign another big man.

It's so much better than playing 4 on 5 for 13 mpg like you want.

[ChumpDumper]

absolutely NOT!Well, he shot better than Horry all season, so you're probably very wrong.

[DPG21920]

Because some people are comically predictable.

Got it. Everyone on here is predictable, one way or the other. Whether it is being "sensitive", or "attacking" or a "smart-ass". I can tell you that Marcus Bryant (whom I like as a poster) will say " I hate Spurs fans".

Does not make certain things right. I am over it though. I do not respond like this to everyone, and I stopped talking to Aggie for a week and then saw that post. I do not think that makes me over sensitive.

Over though, go Spurs

[knee-knee-3]

While Gist gets ready. Yes. Of course we could always sign another big man.

That's cute. Are you sure you want me to take everything you've said literally?

[knee-knee-3]

Well, he shot better than Horry all season, so you're probably very wrong.

He's also unproven and clumsy. NEXT!

[ChumpDumper]

That's cute. Are you sure you want me to take everything you've said literally?Yes, I want you to take this literally:

Bonner can play more minutes than last season while Gist gets extended playing time in Austin. If we sign some other big man like Brian Skinner, I am fine with his playing some of those minutes for the Spurs as well.

[knee-knee-3]

Yes, I want you to take this literally:

Bonner can play more minutes than last season while Gist gets extended playing time in Austin. If we sign some other big man like Brian Skinner, I am fine with his playing some of those minutes for the Spurs as well.

You want Brian Skinner? You want extended minutes for Bonner? You want Gist to play in Austin? Do you want next week's lottery numbers, too?

[ChumpDumper]

Nah, all the stuff I wrote is pretty realistic.

What was your suggestion again?

[knee-knee-3]

That you replace R.C. and lead us to four more titles. :rolleyes

[ChumpDumper]

That you replace R.C. and lead us to four more titles. :rolleyesI'm not qualified.

[knee-knee-3]

I'm not qualified.

Neither am I!!!!!!!!!!! Anyway, I gotta work tomorrow, so YOU WIN, okay? :blah

Horry is one of my favorite players of all time. He had the best feel for the flow of a game, and seemed to know exactly when to put the dagger into the other team. Whether it was burying a 3-pointer, stealing an in-bounds pass, or coming up with a big shot block, he was able to change the momentum of a game. I'll miss watching him 90+ games per season.

If the Spurs wanted Horry back, I would like to think that he would have played for the minimum. I would hope that he recognizes that he owes them that much, after the Spurs gave him complete freedom to deal with his family health issues. So I have to think that he decided to retire, or the Spurs told him that they were moving forward without him. I suspect it's the latter, which may mean that he plays for another team this season.

I haven't read this whole thread, but has anyone considered that Cuban might suit him, the same way he did Kevin Willis a couple of seasons ago? I wouldn't be shocked if OKC offered him a minimum contract, just to bring some veteran know-how to their very young team. And I wouldn't be surprised if Steve Kerr gave him a call either.

I don't think Horry will be a major contributor for anyone if he does play. But if anybody could re-load at that age, it would be him. I'm glad to see the Spurs get younger, and I'll cheer Horry as long as he's not playing against the Spurs.

Thank you for your valuable input,

[Indazone]

Maybe we can dump Novak or Head and pickup Horry on the Rockets. He brings good Karma to teams that have him. :D

[DPG21920]

You already did and he already did.

[knee-knee-3]

Thank you for your valuable input,

Whether you meant it or not, you're one sarcastic sonofabitch!!!!!

[DPG21920]

Predictable!

[Indazone]

come home Big Shot Bob...to where it all began. Clutch City needs you!!

[Joe Schmoogins]

dump city

[GSH]

Yes, I want you to take this literally:

Bonner can play more minutes than last season ...


Has anyone ever gotten a round-trip ticket to/from Pop's doghouse? The only way I see Bonner getting a lot of floor time this season is if he puts on the Coyote suit.

[AC#21_TD ERA]

Thank god for that. But it’s also sad that a great career has come to an end. Thanks Big Shot Bob for all the classic memories. But unfortunately you can’t play this game for ever and your time was up. ONE OF THE GREATEST ROLE PLAYERS IN NBA HISTORY! :lobt::lobt::lobt::lobt::lobt::lobt::lobt:

[Texas_Ranger]

Let him go!

[Sissiborgo]

great player but too old:rolleyes

[MarHill]

Thanks for everything Big Shot Bob.

That's what the ignore list is for. Hell, it's probably Dusty or JizzG themsleves in full on summer boredom mode. I had MrsSpurs on ignore in about 5 minutes.

Robert Horry will be most remembered by Spurs fans for Game 5 against the Pistons (and rightly so) but I'll also remember him for all the other playoff games where he made a little play to make a huge difference. He burned Denver by stealing inbounds passes and then firing up a 3 in their faces. The dude was a big game player and an extremely smart player.

The Game 5 against the Pistons was as awesome as it gets. Clutch 3's and then the dunk off the pump fake. That was one of the greatest Finals plays I've ever seen. If he just had a little more lift, the dunk would have been better. Even so, it still went in. That was the series right there.

He'll be missed for sure. He made big plays in Game 6 and Game 7 against the Hornets this year. He knew he didn't have his jumper for the most part but he still kept the ball alive, delivered an old school foul on David West and sent the Hornets fans home wondering what had just happened.

Good Luck Big Shot.

While watching him play against the Hornets and Fakers, it became apparent that Horry, for the first time, didn't have confidence in his shot. In fact, he literally passed up many shots. Even still, he was smart enough to make other plays for the Spurs. Despite that, it was clear his defensive skills had diminished to the point where he became a liability on defense. I knew then that he'd stayed one year too long.

No doubt, Horry will be missed. But it was time for him to go.

[wisnub]

I guess retirement is not "up in the air" anymore. More likely up in his ass....
Thank you Horry for all the great years....dont ever comback though,just stay at home aite?
