We had Eddy Curry before, why did we let go of him?

[MANUNG-Ginobili]

Curry was a monster during his early years playing for the Bulls and the Knicks. He averaged close to 20 points per game in season with the Knicks. He could have been a vital cog for the Spurs ...why Spurs why? :(:(:(

Because Pop wanted Errors.

Okay I know it's the offseason, but isn't it a little early in the summer for the completely off the wall thread about a random player no longer in the league?

On a slightly less obscure note, it looks like one-time Spur Steve Novak is getting traded once again. This time he'll end up in Utah. Based on the fact that they're likely losing Williams and might lose Hayward, I'd say it's a solid move. Sure would've liked him in SA to replace Bonner though.

We also had Lloyd Daniels

This is what Jackie Butler could have been.

This is what Jackie Butler could have been.

OT: Whatever happened to him? I remembered a lot where being hype on him. Is it injury or it's just he's really sucked?

He sucked. Retired.

Lets not act like Curry was complete garbage during his time with the Spurs. He averaged 8 points and 4 boards in 15 minutes, displaying good instincts while not trying to force anything. In fact, I'd go as far as saying most of us expected him to make the team and were actually surprised when he was cut..

..But then his stint with the Mavericks happened, and boy did we change our minds.

[Mr. Body]

Why was this player no longer in the league not signed long term by the Spurs because he was mildly good about fifteen years ago?

[MANUNG-Ginobili]

why do people here think I'm trolling? I'm God-damn serious about this one!

Then you're a retard. Curry was never ever ever ever a beast. He was hyped because he played in a large market in Chicago. He was possibly the worst rebounding 7 footer in history. I recall a game where he played 25 minutes against the Spurs and didn't get one fucking rebound. When you're that size, one should at least fall into the crack of your ass and wedge there.

having that rpg average is not that bad for a seven-footer you retard..and search for bargnani if you want to know who's worst between them. he never had the chance to duplicated those averages in the following season because his minutes were limited. damn you! :depressed

[MANUNG-Ginobili]

and take note of his 3P%, that's 100%..

Because his play made Kyle Anderson look like Tony Parker.

He was a beast in the post with excellent foot work, touch with both hands and the coordination to bang and keep a stable base for a shot.

Problem is that he wasn't mentally quick enough to handle the rotations and whatnot on defense or work well without the ball in his hands.

That was his best and last good year. The next year was mediocre and he went downhill fast after that. The last five years of his career (including the year he was signed and cut by both Minnesota and Spurs without playing a game for them) he played a total of 26 games.

Screw Eddy Curry, Spurs never should have let Richard Jefferson go! :downspin:

[DJR210]

:cry why did we trade Steph Curry?? :cry

[99 Problems]

I liked big Eddy, but my D is probably better.

[Biggems]

[100%duncan]

Can't wait for October.

Im almost sure he was mildly retarded.

I was really bored today so I went back and looked at the Spurs summer league rosters throughout the years. And we had CJ Watson (quality back-up PG/journeyman), Alexis Ajinca (starting center for the New Orleans Pelicans) and Anthony Tolliver (career journeyman) on our summer league teams. And we let all of them go.

None of them turned out to be really good NBA players but considering we could have signed them all for the minimum at the time...I guess what I'm trying to say is the Spurs aren't perfect. They miss guys like everyone else.

Considering their quality at the time with the Spurs and the fact that the team was always competing for a championship, is hard to make roster spots for "could be in a bad team's rotation in a few years" players. You could also make a list of the player that were let go and never made it. It would be by far longer.

This year's roster is a good example. Joseph, Daye, Ayres, Bonner and Baynes are defintely NBA quality players that could've been waived/traded to make room for something the team needs more at the moment. Joseph is cheap and with Patty hurt he is a locked to stay. Ayres has one more year but could be traded any time. Daye is cheap, showed some upside and fits a team need (Kawhi's backup and combo-stretch forward). If the Spurs sign someone new, specially a big, Baynes is probably gone even he could be a rotation player in the near future.
