jerry in san antonio:
Do you think that the spurs are really going to take elli0t williams or damion james, if not, then who do u think will be perfect for spurs?
Bill Ingram: The Spurs are desperately trying to move up, so I wouldn't get too set on anyone for them just yet . . .it would make their summer of Splitter came over, and he is rumored to be ready to do. I think James would be a great fit there . . .had a chance to get to know him in Houston last summer and he's the real deal.
jerry in san antonio:
since tiago has allegedy agreed to come over, should the spurs turn their attention to free agent raja bell?
Bill Ingram: You know, Bell would be a great fit in that system. Plays good defense, great shooter, good leader, too.
TIAGO SPLITTER in the ALAMO:
do you think my mvp 6'11'' length along w. a 20 pick will put my spurs back in the title hunt?
Bill Ingram: I do . . .I hope the Spurs don't decide to give you away like they did Scola . . .
Joe in Indiana:
The Pacers are rumored in several trades.I feel the trade with Minnesota of Sessions,Gomes,16,23 for Ford,10 improves our roster if we draft well without taking on contracts that will hurt us next year.Which Pacer rumor do you prefer?
Bill Ingram: I like the Tony Parker deal that's been widely rumored (and not denied by Indy). Troy Murphy and other pieces go back to San Antonio . . .along with the 10th pick.
clint in san antonio:
chad ford was on the SA news last night basically saying the likelihood that Parker or Hill would be gone next season and the spurs were moving up in the draft. What have you heard?
Bill Ingram: Absolutely - I've been told be several execs that the Spurs are offering Parker, not Hill, around. Agents have told us the Spurs are trying to move into the very top of the draft, and offering Parker as a trading chip. I'd love to see Parker in Indiana . . .he and Granger would be a deadly combination.
MaddSteve in Franklin, IN:
Do you think Parker would actually stick in Indiana though? His contract expires after this season and giving up the ten could leave the Pacers with nothing if he bolts.
Bill Ingram: If they win, he will want to stay. His short-term contract is part of what makes him appealing to Indy. What if he continues to get hurt all the time and can't stay on the court? Better to find that out during a one-year deal. If he can stay healthy, they will be a playoff team - provided everyone else is healthy, too. Tony will have plenty of reasons to want to stay long-term.
Aaron in Denver:
I think it's pretty clear Kobe is the player of the past decade, but who's number two--Duncan or Shaq?
Bill Ingram: Shaq was the flashy player, but the Big Fundamental is the second-best, hands down. Much more skilled . . .
