If the Spurs have a need for some bigman depth, he might be worth a look. Willing to bang, has a decent jumper, and somewhat mobile down low.
Horry For 3!

Hell no.

Never.

Remember the Seattle series?
Fucking mofo and his goonish cheap shots, he belong with Fortson and James.

If the spurs trade rasho he would be a good pickup.

Are you kidding me??

Then don't even trade Rasho. Rasho is 10 times better than Vitaly, and yes, I did just say that.

If T-Mass retires, we're going to need another guy with 6 fouls to give.

Hmmm...not sure if I like this guy or not. He is willing to get physical...but I think I'd rather go with TMass if he wants to come back.

If the Spurs move Rasho it's because they don't want to commit that much to a bench big long term. Then they'd likely be looking at guys like Potapenko and Outlaw to fill out the roster.

Potapenko is probably marginally better than TMass. Pick him up for bench insurance if you have to.

Potapenko barely passes Massenburg.

if you dont bring Scola over, or you trade Nesterovic for a draft pick or SF,

then yeah Id be for it.

It would be nice to sign him and then stick him on the IR so he isn't beating up Duncan in the post season.

Potapenko<TMass, IMHO.

I'll never forget that two-handed karate chop he had on Duncan. Where the hell did he learn that thug move?

No thanks. Better alternatives out there even for the minimum.

Sean Marks and Tony Massenburg are both better.

Ok if TMass doesn't come back, I guess.

Doesn't look like he lifts much anymore though.

Flabby.

He's a scrub, but if you're going to sign a scrub it's nice if he's 7feet. I think I like Massenburg better. He seemed to always be able to step in and give a quality 5-10 minutes when there were injury problems. Plus, it's always nice to have a Spur on the team who was there last time I had season tix.
