If Spurs stood pat and brought Big Dog and DB back

[Rummpd]

I would be very pleased.

Spurs have all the pieces = no rash moves are really needed. Fine tune and move on period. No team that is a title threat has significantly improved in off season unless you somehow believe the unlikely plausibility of a team like Cleveland leapfroggin the Pacers, Heat and Pistons. I for one am not yet buying that Suns will be markedly improved with anyone that came from the NYK.

Only trade for something that really helps team and there is time, recall last year the Malik trade - why not start season with championship core plus the new big O and go from there?

Time to trade can well be down the road - Pop and Buford have proven they can do it and I for one love the fact the Spurs have a starting five seemingly intact going into next year.

[JUUOT]

do you think there is enough Playing time for Barry plus Brown plus Robinson...

- last year was already hard between barry and brown
- big dog came in for brown injury only
- big dog accepted the role only because it was temporary

In my opinion it will be glenn or devin.
However i completely and vehemently agree with the rest

Amen, brotha. GRob showed some flashes of defensive strength during his limited minutes in the playoffs, and with a training camp to get in shape and get worked into the offensive system he'd be a great for the Spurs. But has anyone heard anything one way or another about his intentions? When the off season first began I heard that he was good as gone, then I heard that no one in the league was expressing much interest, and it's been weeks since I've heard much of anything at all.

[zeleni]

I heard he was cancer in locker room. What's with that?

[Rummpd]

I would take either and stop worrying about finding in a hurry a SF replacement for Bowen - the shape Bowen is in, he could play well for several more years!

Plus Spurs can go small with Duncan and Obierto or Duncan and Nazr at floor in a myriad of potentially talented combos.

Bring it on Spurs.

[samikeyp]

the new big O

Dude....no.


As for your topic, I would still like them to find what LJ terms as "the elusive long 3" but I am ok with the team right now, provided they re-sign Brown.

Raja Bell will help the Suns out defensively... he'll allow Nash not to have to play Parker on Defense which will make him even more effective.

yeah so instead nash will be guarding manu :rolleyes


I am worried about minutes as well. DBrown is a perfect Spur. He brings it on D, hustles, hustles, hustles, can knock down a shot, and has very good ball handling skills (underrated even) which means he can get to the rack sometimes and surprise us

Glenn, on the other hand, is a veteran, unproven to this team for a long period of time, made a mental mistake that costed him playing time in the postseason in the Seattle series, can score in bunches, and CAN play D when he wants to

I go with Devin, sorry Glenn...But i wish we could keep both

We actually could do it if we adopted somewhat of a Memphis style of lineups...just play our 2nd unit ALOT of minutes like they used to...would this work? thoughts?

Yeah because, then he can guard someone else, who he can shut down.

Hilarious.

Well he can camp out in the corner with Bowen. It's not like the Spurs would try to post Bruce up on him. They did a similar switch in the WCF when they put JJ on Parker.

I agree that this is the probable scenario, especially if they can resign GROB to a short term contract. Spurs are in the catbird seat and can afford to wait and see.

If Big O works into the top two rotation at C then the third man will go on the block for a trade by Feb. Nasr is the wildcard because of his contract year coming up. If he really gets into the system it will be hard to let him go--unless Oberto plays better. This three way battle will be a highlight of camp and the early games this year IMHO> :elephant

Are you saying that they will put Raja on Parker?

PHX wouldn't be this stupid..
I mean I know Nash can't stop Parker, but what makes you think a bigger guy, and a slower guy would?

he would do A LOT better job than Nash would.

So it's not something outrageous...

Shaq would do a better job than Nash...

But seriously...

I don't even think Bowen could stop Parker.
