Just For Fun (and boredom at work):
Next year's plan is to make the Spurs even more ignored by BSPN and the national media and detested, in a lukewarm sense, by the majority of supposed basketball fans. They will be the 'base' to the acid of Cuban's 'Mavericks.'
The solution is to go as international as possible. Lookit:
1. Bring in Robertas Javtokas with something like the LLE.
2. Bring in Luis Scola with some part of the MLE.
3. Get rid of Nazr Mohammed. How is not important. For purposes here, he walks.
4. Trade of Brent Barry for J.R. Smith revisited. Approved. Arvydas Macijauskas, the Lithuanian sharpshooter, is included to make the salaries equivalent.
5. Trade '08 first rounder to Phoenix for their second first round pick (#26). Use this to acquire Swiss swingman Thado Sefolosha. He has been pegged by Draftexpress for the #16, but truer to other sites, he falls a little further.
6. Because Sefolosha would be the only 'true rookie' brought in -- Javtokas and Scola are experienced and mid-20s -- he's brought over. He's considered an excellent wing defender, teammate, and role-player, and hopes are to groom him to back up Bowen as soon as possible.
The roster is:
Tony Parker (French)
Manu Ginobili (Argentina)
Bruce Bowen
Tim Duncan
Rasho Nesterovic (Slovenia)
...as starters... the bench:
Beno Udrih (Slovenia)
Michael Finley
Robert Horry
Fabricio Oberto (Argentina)
Luis Scola (Argentina)
J.R. Smith
Arvydas Macijauskas (Lithuania)
Robertas Javtokas (Lithuania)
Thado Sefolosha (Switzerland)
That gives us 14 players. (Sanders, Marks let go, or one of them kept.) Macijauskas and Sefolosha start on the reserve list.
There you go. Only five Americans! SWEET!!
