Why do we need a second Errors?

Longshot but good.

The Spurs already have Errors. Ayon and Baynes are way more preferable.

THe team must just be trolling now. No way they need to be looking at another big.

:lmao

No doubt.

[lmbebo]

Just exploring options for Baynes doesn't come back or late season injury ..

[Roger Freemason Jr.]

Agent tactic, come on now.

[Sean Cagney]

THe team must just be trolling now. No way they need to be looking at another big.

No doubt, they still have not signed anyone yet either with all these interested in threads :rollin:lol:lol

[r0drig0lac]

front office just wanting to keep busy spurstalk with topics 50 pages about guys who never come here anyway

[spurraider21]

its gotta be the agent blowing smoke. there is no talent in hollins

I doubt it even gets to 5. Hollins is a scrub.

[tmtcsc]

Unless he can fix electrical generators...

[TheyCallMePro]

Who the hell is Ryan Hollins? And why are we still trying to sign guys when we've signed 17 guys already -- 2 of which have to be cut in training camp in order to trim the roster down to 15.

At this point were just wasting the 50K you have to give these guys to go through training camp. And I'm sick of watching old and grainy highlight videos of washed up veterans who the Spurs are "interested in."

Ugh the life of a Spurs fan.

You need like 20 players in training camp. If you give them a bit of guaranteed money, they come to your camp over anyone else's, and become Toros property after being cut. The Spurs aren't anywhere near the tax, so that $50K doesn't mean much.

lol this guy got a top 100 dunk highlights. Seems like he can catch the ball better than Errors

[Spursfanfromafar]

The guy is a thug. And probably has the lowest bball iQ in the league bar some (Javale McGee has some serious competition).

I'm sure a lot of people will appreciate those vids. They think the Spurs need more goons.

[cd021]

Kind of reminds me of the 11-12 off season. Spurs kept being linked to small guards when they had several (Neal, Mills, Cojo) and had just added De Colo.

I'd take Hollins.. It would give us a bit of nastiness off the bench. We haven't had an enforcer type of player on the roster since DeJuan Blair left. I like his edge, length and athleticism. He also seems to have a way of getting under opponents skin much like Bowen used to do. If we don't re-sign Baynes, I'd take Hollins. He's a proven backup center..

[look_at_g_shred]

Fuck this nigga. This dude is a dirty player. Every time we played the clippers, he'd always try and start shit with Duncan/splitter but didn't do shit when Baynes was in the game :lol pussy

[G-Dawgg]

Well wouldn't it be nice to have a player with some nastiness on our team for a change. All he has to do is what Ayers hasn't been able to... -catch passes and dunk.. Maybe block a few shots. He'd be playing very limited minutes anyways. I like how he's got a bit of a mean streak to him.

[ChumpDumper]

He's really quite terrible.

[look_at_g_shred]

Nope that shit will cost us. Just look at what and how blair fucked things up for the mavs in the first round. We just won a championship without a knucklehead. Let someone else deal with his shit

[timtonymanu]

Hollins sucks. :lol Not even a "proven" back-up center.

You watch a highlight video and conclude that he can catch better than Ayres? Really?

They don't show the misses/bobbles in those things, you know.

[ElNono]

no, we're not

[benstanfield]

Yuck. Jesus Christ just fucking pay Baynes. I would pay Baynes like a hostage taker just to avoid Hollins and that retarded looking Mexican dude. I would rather have Ayres as the 4th big and let Jaeymychaeil Green absorb minutes tbh.

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

CIA Pop knowing people would start appreciating Ayers more if Hollins is around.

[G-Dawgg]

So, I guess you're his biggest fan and you've followed every single game he's played? Lol

[100%duncan]

Fuck off

[MI21]

Hollins is really bad at basketball and appears to be absolute fuckwit as well.

[Ice009]

Hollins is really bad at basketball and appears to be absolute fuckwit as well.

From the little I've seen of him, I'd have to agree with this. There's games against the Spurs in the last few seasons where he's acted like a complete dickhead towards some of our players.

Not interested. Fuck him.

[exstatic]

You're a complete fuckwit. The point isn't who's a fan of who. The point is that you cannot use a YouTube highlight film to judge a player's skill set. Everyone looks like an All Star on YouTube. Hell, Ayres/Pendergraph has highlight reels out there, and HE NEVER DROPS THE BALL.

You're a homo. I don't care if you agree with me or not. If you don't want to see opinions of other people, get off the message boards. Plain and simple fagboy.

[Dex]

Doesn't bring anything terribly special, nor does he strike me as a player who has "gotten over himself".

No thanks.

[Gibbz]

I can't stand this guy. One of the biggest pieces of shit in the league. He also happens to be absolutely terrible.

[Obstructed_View]

I think Hollins would be the first Spur that I'd actively be rooting to receive a career-ending injury during games. Fuck that dude.

[objective]

Baynes is so much better than Hollins .... Cheaping out on Baynes with Hollins as a consolation would be unfortunate

[wildcardX]

I don't like this guy on the Spurs.

[Big P]

Hollins is a bitch and it showed every time he played against us...DO NOT WANT!

[SpursFan86]

Hollins might be the only big in the league who I wouldn't want over Ayres.

[testies]

He's the asshole that intentionally injured Splitter

Yeah we really lacked a dumb low IQ enforcer like Blair single handedly losing Dallas that game where he kicked Splitter in the head

[Sean Cagney]

Yep, still one of the dumbest plays of that idiots career and he is very dumb it seems. Blair and his team rolling, then get gets ejected while his team on a huge run and he sparking it and............ They blew the series there IMO, if they win that game they win the series then bone head goes and does that crap. I am sure Hollins could pull that too, but he is even less talented than Blair.

[G-Dawgg]

Blair sure made a difference against us in the first round of last years playoffs though. He was definately a difference maker -Other than his flagrant kick to Tiago's head he did an excellent job against the Spurs. None of our players were able to match his physicality and energy.... He definately had a hand in helping his team push us to the brink and coming closer to winning a 7 game series against us than any other team did. I do realize in the end he cost them the game, but his physicality and energy were part of the reason why they were even competitive in the series in the first place. We had no answer to his fire off their bench.. Re-watch the series again and you can re-live how much of a problem he was..

The reason the Mavs were in the series is because the spurs thought they could coast against a team whose number they've had since 2012-2013 (maybe even before that) That's all that was. It wasn't until game 7 the spurs played spurs basketball. It was clear who the better team was. It's not like we won a game 7 down to the wire nail biter. If the spurs played like that every game in that series it's over in 4... 5 at the most. Period.

[G-Dawgg]

You're in denial if you don't think DeJuan Blair was even somewhat of a factor. Re-watch the series again...

[testies]

The Blair troll has another account?

Blair is horrible, Spurs didn't care about that series, they had zero pick n roll defense and we blew them out by like 50 in last 2 home games

[Chinook]

Blair is the opposite of Hollins. DeJuan is incredibly skilled for a bigman (outside of shooting). He just lacks the measurables. Hollins has the tools, just not the talent. Both may have bad attitudes, but that's pretty much where it stops. I'd rather have Blair on my team any day, though.

[TheGreatYacht]

its gotta be the agent blowing smoke. there is no talent in hollins
So you don't want Hollins

*hasnt seen a game with Dragic, only FIBA*

But you want a nobody you've never seen? I think I know why...

[spurraider21]

never said i wanted dragic. this was a report that the spurs were interested in hollins, and i called bullshit on it. the spurs being "interested" in a player has been a common agent scheme in recent years. the dragic article was supposedly about his own preferences

[spurspokesman]

Goon Squad lol.

And by talks he means begging someone for more than a training camp contract.

Ryan Hollins makes Ayres look like Tyson Chandler.

Nah, they both suck

[tmtcsc]

Please...no. Go away.

[Roger Freemason Jr.]

Spurs are going into this season with the championship roster, plus Kyle Anderson. Not that it isn't fun to speculate or shudder to think, just that we all know it's pointless.

Hollins and Beasley? Do the Spurs need to make a quota for how many head cases they need on the team?
