Spurs Sign Glenn Robinson!!!

[TheWriter]

Dunno TPark...how many times has Webber been busted with weed?

Latrell Sprewell?

Wasn't he like Kobe's biggest defender?

Fuck...why don't you ask me who he has had a hardon for that wasn't a scumbag...

Who gives a shit if their scumbags in your opinion... if they can play, then play them.

No one's a fucking Saint.

[T Park]

Hitting innocent fan

when he played for the Spurs he wasn't dumbfuck get it straight.



how many times has Webber been busted with weed?

once in Washington, thats it.

But, do you know the whole story on that either??

If it was his, how come he hasnt been busted again.

Its CHris Webber not Damon Stoudamire.


Sprewell, yeah I never understood the manlove for Sprewell either, and I have NEVER been in favor of bringing in Spreewell.


Thats 4 guys, thats it?

Or does, 4 guys say everything.


Who gives a shit if their scumbags


I, the paying fuckin customer since 1988.

Bob Bass and Lucas used to love bums like Lloyd Daniels and Dennis Rodman, and Dale Ellis.


I thought Pop was better than that, apparently not.


Apology NOT given.

[TheWriter]

when he played for the Spurs he wasn't dumbfuck get it straight.

If he's capable of doing it. He's a scumbag. Whether he did it as a Pacer or a Spur.

[T Park]

ANyone is "capable"

Hell Tim DUncan is "capable" of going up in the stands and going Artest on someone.

But because they do it under the influence of "other" people doesnt mean they are a scumbag.

Um... Jax has always had that temperment.

He was talking shit to players while on IR his first year here.

He talked shit to Kobe in his first game as a Spur.

He wanted to take on the entire Pistons team before Artest ran into the stands.

Ok what about perjury in a federal court TPark? Breaking endless NCAA rules...

Even worse what about legacy of whining and choking...fuck I'd rather have a plain old scumbag than Webber.


I'd rather have Stoudamire.............

[baseline bum]

I don't like Glenn Robinson. I've never liked him. I don't think he fits well on this team. Robinson* is a clone of Glen Rice minus a lot of the range. We saw what happened to Rice when he moved to an offense where he wasn't being continually fed screens every possesion in LA. We saw what happened to Robinson* (I just can't call this guy Robinson out of respect to 5-0) after leaving Milwaukee. This to me looks like Charlie Ward all over again.

Still, the Spurs haven't had a second SF on their roster all season. Maybe he can hit a couple of shots when he comes in and maybe he'll quit beating women. What kind of piece of shit beats his woman? The 'I'm ready to die and so are all of you' is some psycho shit. I can't say I approve of crap like that on this team.... but it's not like they signed Malone or anything.

It was Karl Malone, and , that Malone or Bryant makes him a cool guy in my book.



Perjury in federal court???

Clinton did it and hes not considered a 'scumbag"



whining and choking

Vinny Del Negro was a whining choker, but it didn't make HIM a bad guy.

[TheWriter]

It was Kobe, at the freethrow line, during a '02 Spurs/Lakers game.

[T Park]

unless your Mother Teresa, please stop judging people as if your perfect

Im not perfect either, but I have never hit any of my gfs or assualting a person.

[whottt]

Um Base...Glen Rice was pretty instrumental in first title run by the Lakers...

I don't think anyone wants to see Glenn Robinson's jersey hanging in the rafters...

[T Park]

Kobe, Malone,


Thats cool with me, Talking shit to them, doesn't make them scumbags.


Jack, pre detroit brawl, was OK in my book,

now?? no, i lost all respect for him.

[whottt]

Vinny Del Negro was a whining choker, but it didn't make HIM a bad guy.


Don't even get me started on Vinny....I think I'd rather have Webber.

[baseline bum]

I, too, hated Vinny almost as much a HITA Smith.

somewhat true,

Malone and Kobe are in the same realm.

Glenn for hitting his wife, is below them IMO.

[T Park]

WTF was wrong with Vinny, jealous of the hair whottt..... :)


Vinny and Perdue were douchebags though, theyd walk right by you and "ghost" you like they were some fuckin stars or something.

I still remember in 99 during the open practice, the fuck face not signing some kids autographs cause he was "Busy"

Busy talking to freakin John Anderson, WTF.


"The Secret Weapon" was an uppity shitface no question.


(Secret weapon was written on the gatorade bottle he drank out of when on the bench, I remember this back in 97.)

[T Park]

HITA Smith.

I hated him for the pure fact of sucking up 9 million for being a bench warmer.


But he was a class guy who didn't cause problems.


All in all, I had no problems with HITA, basketball wise, yes, other than that, nah, he was too good of a guy to "hate"

[jcrod]

As Frank Barone would say.................Holy Crap!!!

http://us.ent4.yimg.com/tv.yahoo.com/images/he/photo/tv_pix/cbs/everybody_loves_raymond_photos/peter_boyle/raymond.jpg




Never would of guessed. Doesn't hurt, only could help.

[baseline bum]

Class act? Remember Smith threatening to hold-out after Pop refused to extend his contract right away? Pop probably hadn't laughed that hard since he traded Bill Curley to the Pistons for Sean.

[T Park]

I don't remember that.

I remember him saying that to Portland??


come on, the guy was cool, if he wasnt, he would've caused problems with the 03 Spurs team.

[kskonn]

I don't remember that.

I remember him saying that to Portland??


come on, the guy was cool, if he wasnt, he would've caused problems with the 03 Spurs team.


I don't remember that either. The first thing that I remembered hearing about him when he became a spur was that he donated a lot of money to one of the spurs causes on his first day. I swear some guys are just assholes.

[T Park]

Well he did threaten a holdout for not getting a contract extension, but I could've sworn it was threatened to Portland.


I wasn't totally crazy about the Smitty trade, still am not, but, I look at it, that if we had kept Anderson, we wouldnt have Ginobili, so Im greatfull it did, end up happening.

[Man In Black]

my body is the same way, Ive been stuck in Yuma AZ for over a week and the dust has destroyed my respirotory system.

Ill be back home wednesday afternoon though.


Hopefully in time for the Spurs VS Clippers.

My first game since January 29th.

Yuma eh? You must be hanging out with Ducks. Scary thing...Really scary. Quack...AFLAC


BTW, if a guy is bad on D, who else would make a guy not look bad, than Pop's defensive system and Tim Duncan and Rasho Nesterovic backing him up.


I remember when HITA was playing and how awful at times, when they were playing 4 on 5 from the defensive end, how hard it was for our team to hold the other team in check. A team needs BALANCE.

[T Park]

No, not hanging with Ducks, but I gotta say, Yuma makes Sacramento look desireable, and I HATE Sacramento.


HITA was bad on D, but, once again, he had 2 big guys to back him up an save his ass.


Who knows, maybe BIG DOG might give a shit.

[whottt]

I don't remember Smitty doing that either...even if he did...at least Smitty taught Parker how to shoot.

[Man In Black]

No, not hanging with Ducks, but I gotta say, Yuma makes Sacramento look desireable, and I HATE Sacramento.


HITA was bad on D, but, once again, he had 2 big guys to back him up an save his ass.

Oh yeah, You got something going on with Carnival Rides right? The Yuma County Fair is going on right now, say...You gotta anymore of them "Pre-Sale" Tickets?

[Kori Ellis]

Since he'll be working for a contract for next year (I'm not saying a contract with the Spurs) then he'll probably have a work ethic better than we've ever seen from him.

So it's not a big deal. He'll come here, smile at the end of the bench, play spot minutes and knock down some shots. If he doesn't, he'll be cut. This was a no brainer pick up. No risk.

That being said, he was on IR with the Sixers because he was a cancer, not because he was really hurt. So it will be interesting to see how/if he adjusts to being a spot minutes bench player here in San Antonio.

[baseline bum]

fucking double post

[baseline bum]

I remember it the day he was traded. The trade was made because he demanded the extension, and then he demanded it from SA or he would not report. I know timvp has to remember this.

He withdrew it a couple of days later and then they had a lame press conference where he held up the jersey of another baseline favorite, Paul Pressey.

[T Park]

Paul Pressey.

Oy........ Brent Barry revisited.


Outside shooter, sixth man of the year candidate, can run the point.

Eery similarities.


When you put it that way Kori, your right, it is a no brainer, if he plays ball and gets along, makes shots and is a team player, then thats great.

But to be effective, I think he needs more than spot minutes.

Id slide him into Devin's minutes to take some pressure off Manu.

[T Park]

So it will be interesting to see how/if he adjusts to being a spot minutes bench player here in San Antonio.

Well Kori I garuntee the SPurs spelled it out, your not gonna be focal point number 1, and your not gonna pull teh BS you did in Philadelphia, you play ball, or get kicked the fuck out.


If hes smart, he plays it right, and pulls a Speedy Claxton.

[kskonn]

wow that is crazy. I can't believe I don't remember that. crazy.

[Kori Ellis]

Yeah, I'd give him a little of Devin's minutes now. I'm just talking about when Devin returns. Glenn will get spot minutes at best when Devin's healthy.

Yes, I remember. He was threatening not to report to training camp if the Spurs didn't give him a three-year extension, IIRC. After the Spurs talked to him for a while, Smith decided to not push further for the extension and had that press conference with his wife and kid.

It was a desperation move by Smith and the Spurs called his bluff.

[T Park]

Oh, yeah.

I totally agree there too.


But, IMO, It doesn't look good that Devin is comin back totally healthy.

If I were the Spurs, and he comes back, and if he still has pain. Shut it down, one season isnt worth ruining a good future.

[T Park]

Well, in that case.

Steve Smith is just as bad, as Vinny Del Negro.

[kskonn]

Oh, yeah.

I totally agree there too.


But, IMO, It doesn't look good that Devin is comin back totally healthy.

If I were the Spurs, and he comes back, and if he still has pain. Shut it down, one season isnt worth ruining a good future.


agreed. Although lets say the spurs do not plan on resigning Devin next year, Do they play him then?

[T Park]

I think the Spurs DO plan on resigning him.

I think he gets part of the mid level exception along with Scola.

[kskonn]

yea so do I. I was just hoping to invoke a very passionate devin fan.

[MannyIsGod]

This isn't a career threatening injury because there is no actual disc damange, simply nerve imflamation.

[mookie2001]

devin is not a twathouse
he's texas boy, he'll be looking good, feeling good, staying right between sbc and hillwood

[alamo50]

How much more opposite can you get going from one Robinson to another?

:depressed

I hope it works out, but I can't see it.
Not this late and not with his background.
Very surprised by Spurs management.
Cheap doesn't always mean go for it.

I tell you right now this will mess everything up.

[ducks]

well barry is worthless now
he will press

[whottt]

You're quacked ducks!

Barry will be relieved to finally have someone on the team that makes him look good on D...

[Ishta]

http://spurstalk.com/forums/images/smilies2/smiwtf2.bmp Wow... I didn't see this coming.. Does anyone know what his jersey # will be? Things are starting to get a little weird around here. Which makes me an eensie weensie concerned. I am somewhat surprised that Pop made a move like this considering all of the "baggage" Glenn brings with him.. Well.. we shall see.http://spurstalk.com/forums/images/smilies2/smiwtf2.bmp

It won't be easy to give Malik's # to the Big Dog..........

:depressed

[ChumpDumper]

twathouse?

[davi78239]

on nba live 2005, he's wearing 31, which sounds kinda familiar huh? On the game, he's not bad at all. Hopefully some of this can be true in reality.

[wildbill2u]

Yeah, I'd give him a little of Devin's minutes now. I'm just talking about when Devin returns. Glenn will get spot minutes at best when Devin's healthy.

NBA.com report says Robinson is in questionable shape. Whether they actually know or merely are articulating the conventional wisdom that he must be out of shape since he hasn't played is moot. He CANT be in 'game
shape' without having played.

They need to give him all the minutes he can take until his tongue is hanging out like a Big Dog that's been running raccoons all night if they hope to have anything from him for the playoffs.

[kolko]

Is he eligible for the playoffs?

From Larry Coon's faq:


If a player is waived after March 1, he is ineligible to be included in the playoff roster of any team that signs him for the remainder of that season.

He was waived on March 2.

[SPARKY]

He hasn't played this season so he can make the playoff roster.

[Dex]

Actually he was waived on March 1st.



Tuesday, March 1

Miami signed center Alonzo Mourning and waived guard Wesley Person.

Atlanta waived guard Gary Payton.

New Jersey waived center Elden Campbell.

Dallas signed forward Alan Henderson and placed center Pavel Podkolzin on the injured list.

New Orleans waived forward Glenn Robinson and center Dale Davis.

Hornets Waive Davis And Robinson


New Orleans - The Hornets announced that they have waived center Dale Davis and forward Glenn Robinson.

"Dale and Glenn have been quality players in this league for many years, but we knew when we made these trades that neither of them were a part of our plans for the future," said Hornets General Manager Allan Bristow. "By waiving them now, we can allow them to pursue an opportunity with another team this season."

Davis was acquired along with guard Speedy Claxton and cash considerations from the Golden State Warriors in exchange for Baron Davis on February 24. He averaged 3.1 points and 4.3 rebounds in 36 games for the Warriors before being traded to the Hornets. The 13-year veteran owns career averages of 8.5 points, 8.2 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in 995 games and has shot .531 (3,483-6,556) from the field over his career with Indiana, Portland and Golden State.

Robinson was acquired from the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for Jamal Mashburn and Rodney Rogers on February 24. He had not appeared in a game for the Sixers this season after being placed on the Injured List on November 1 with left ankle tendonitis. The 10-year veteran holds career averages of 20.8 points, 6.1 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 679 games with Philadelphia, Atlanta and Milwaukee.

Spurs.com DOES screw up every now and then.

I suggest you fetch your eyes before they roll away. :)

[FromWayDowntown]

I've been trolling around some other sites, wondering what the rest of the league thinks about this move. Frankly, I've been surprised at how many fans are looking at this as some desperation move by the Spurs; as some tacit admission that the Spurs are in bad shape, since they're turning to Big Dog for help.

I can't see that.

I see an interesting move that has tremendous upside and no real risk. If Big Dog can still score, he's Vinny Johnson-like guy to come off the bench. If Big Dog can't play, or if he's a bad guy, he'll be out of here quickly without any harm to the Spurs financial situation. It's worth a look in my book.

[Useruser666]

His pickup by the Spurs at this exact time is the perfect boost to the traffic flow of these forums. :lol

Indeed. If you assume that GRobinson doesn't come down with whatever hit Steve Smith at age 32 then you are looking at a guy who can be a significant part of the rotation for another 2 to 3 seasons. If not then he cost you Dion Glover.

However, I'm skeptical of GRobinson's short term efficacy.

[MannyIsGod]

WB, Marcus.

[whottt]

I don't know about being a signifigant part of the rotation for the next 2 or 3 seasons...

If he's that good he's going to get a better contract than we can offer...

And I just don't think he's gonna click with Pop longterm...


I don't see this guy having a lengthy stay with us....even if he is effective for us the rest of the season.

[SPARKY]

It's good to be back though, well, it's just for today.

[bigbendbruisebrother]

No kidding! The holier than thou crowd is having a field day getting their panties in a wad over this. They need to get back to their one-handed surfing on Bill O'Reilly's website imo.

[Sandman52]

Question: How did the whole "HITA" thing get started? I know what it stands for, but never remembered where it came from.

[SilverSpur]

This was a big shock to me. I am gonna miss Glover. He was a good fight, while he lasted. I hope to see him back in the summer camp or what ever.
This was a real shock to me because I was just looking at NBA.com a few days ago and noticed he was available but he doesnt play Defense. Then I thought to myself if we signed him and he played with Duncan, Bowen, Manu and Paker then four out of five playing defense isnt bad. That if he still has that mid range jumper. If not then its not a good move. The Spurs are a very smart team and you know they worked him out. I know alot of you say he was not happy playing with the Sixers and the Bucks but this is the World Champion Spurs and playing on a Champion caliber team that consistantly wins will make any player happy. So lets see what happens. PS Glover left on good terms with the team and expect him to sign with our Summer team.

[ChumpDumper]

We'll see. We thought Mercer would make a fresh start too, but GRob has shown much more ability to work in a system. If he's nothing but a chucker he'll be gone.

[mattyc]

Holy crap! Didn't expect this.

Don't like him too much, but he was a former number 1 draft pick which is a nice thing to have on the end of your bench.

[whottt]

We'll see. We thought Mercer would make a fresh start too, but GRob has shown much more ability to work in a system. If he's nothing but a chucker he'll be gone.

Glenn Robinson was a valued player up until the past few years...Mercer has been a project since the day he entered the league...

[Useruser666]

Yep, the Spurs are done. I'm mean their 12th man is only a former number 1 draft pick.

[Jimcs50]

Hope he does well.
