Nobody Wants Beno

[SequSpur]

The Spurs are stuck with this dude and they traded away Scola for a box of smelly corny shit.

What a huge fubar.

[Marcus Bryant]

While the situation does seem a bit inequitable, that's an overstatement.

[davi78239]

Seems like nobody ever wants anything the Spurs have most of the time. But again, other teams make "blockbuster" trades and big offseason signings involving name brand players, and who ends up winning championships? Fucking amazing!!

chocolate bueno > beno

[The Truth #6]

Most players' worth gets reduced when they play for the Spurs as they get bluntly hit over the head with the system and their former stats decline. It's good for the team but doesn't help us when we try to trade their sorry ass.

[Marcus Bryant]

It generally doesn't help when "the system" requires them to sit on their ass for most of the season.

The system that wins Championships requires attention to detail and a dedication to defense. If you can't hack it at Championship level you shouldn't play for the Spurs. Beno can't hack it - too weak mentally.

a fa value increases when spurs are mention even when we arent interested, misleading promoting :(:(:( fukn spurs

How'd Francisco Elson see any court time in the NBA Finals last month?

[BeerIsGood!]

How'd Francisco Elson see any court time in the NBA Finals last month?

Elson was decent on defense, but aiding his cause is the fact that Oberto can't play 48 minutes and Jackie Butler is out of shape and worse than Elson. If he had Parker and Vaughn type players in front of him at center - he wouldn't see many minutes.


But, to completely answer your question - Elson plays HARD. He plays with guts and isn't a pussy getting booty hurt because the coach expects him to bust his ass. That pussy on the Spurs team is Beno.

[Marcus Bryant]

Elson sucked hard on defense. His only redeeming quality was the footspeed he brought to the 5 spot.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Since we have Beno for another year, why not try something different and change his role? Make him a spot-up shooter only, not a PG, and use him in occasional spots where his only role is to hit the open 3... he should be able to do that, right? Or send him to the Toros to get some game time and maybe get his confidence back.

We can't even snag a 2nd rounder for him? That's sad, because he might be a decent backup somewhere else. He's clearly a confidence player, and Pop has destroyed his confidence.

[coopdogg3]

Beno is not elgible for DLeague. Can only be sent to DL for the first 2 years.

Thus speaketh the authority on corn........

chocolate bueno > benoWrong!

Too much chocolate Bueno = Beno

[hsxvvd]

If nobody has called it already.....

This season, 2008-09, will be the season Beno breaks out!

By mid-season he will crack the rotation and get out of the dog house.

Quote it!

[hsxvvd]

Is there some sort of 5 second rule, where I can take that one back!

[The Truth #6]

Beno played well initially when he distributed the ball and didn't try to force things. That, supposedly, is how he caught attention at some Chicago pre-draft event. Last year he forgot all that and came in and immediately started throwing up bricks off the side of the rim. He needs to go back to what he was doing before because he doesn't have the mindset to be some sort of gunner.

Beno just needs to reinvent himself, figure out that he is on a team that will contend for a title for the next few years, forget about the past and be the player that we drafted, and decide he wants to have a part in winning and Beno can still be an asset to this team.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Beno is not elgible for DLeague. Can only be sent to DL for the first 2 years.

Yeah, I keep forgetting about that rule, thanks.

Yet another reason the NBA needs a proper AAA system. That was discussed in depth in another thread but I can't find it.

No-one would begrudge him that, but I think it unlikely.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

The saddest thing about the Beno decline is that I used to look forward to watching him in 2005, until his Finals meltdown. He's never been the same player since those consecutive TOs just before half time of game ?

He was active, knocked down his open threes and made some nice passes back in the regular season in 2005. He was good for 5.9ppg, 1.9asts, shot .408 from 3 in 14.4mins. Then the meltdown.

Whatever happens, I hope he finds his game again somewhere.

[ploto]

When push comes to shove, Beno always finds a way to do enough to keep the hope alive.

I do miss watching Rookie Beno play. :(

And what is that, pray tell, for those of us who don't read his myspace page?

[Pero]

Contract year. :lol:

[lotr1trekkie]

If we add Uduka we will only have room for 2 point guards in the top 12 unless we unload Barry and Udrih for David Wesley. Poartland also has the rights to another Rodriguez from Spain.

[MoSpur]

I gave up on Beno because he gave up on himself. I just think he would be better playing for someone like Nellie in Golden State.

[Marcus Bryant]

Beno steps it up when his lifestyle is on the line. Right now he is training hardcore in the Julian Alps, making daily runs up steep inclines to shed that Tex-Mex fat. In addition he bought Magic's DVDs and is learning how to handle the rock.

It's like the sickle, without the hammer.

[urunobili]

get rid of him and bring a new PG to contend on Vaughn's spot as a reserve...

[ploto]

And what is that, pray tell, for those of us who don't read his myspace page?
I have no desire or need to read Beno's myspace page.

What I am referring to is how he will find a way to deliver when he has to. He came into the draft with most people thinking he was a late second round pick because of his year in Europe. But he came to the US early, worked really hard, impressed in Chicago and became a first round pick. Last summer, everyone was all mad at him and calling him the fourth string PG because of his injury, but the final pre-season game, he played against Dallas and quite well, shooting 5/6, and he got his extra year. He will find a way this season to contribute- at least enough to give the hope to some team that he is ready to become the player he has the talent to become- to gain his next contract.

[The Truth #6]

Is that delivering or just doing the minimum?

[RC's Boss]

Beno's sac is tucked back.

[angel_luv]

For the record, and this will shock all of you :) , I'm still rooting for Beno.

[angel_luv]

I have no desire or need to read Beno's myspace page.


Apparently neither does Beno. He is rarely on it any more. Thanks a lot, Midget. :depressed

[WalterBenitez]

His mom and sister do want him :lmao

[ploto]

Beno has no sister.

[BIG z]

They should just release him...

[zeleni]

Beno sucks.

[hsxvvd]

Ok, Statistically... Beno is equal to Terry Porter when he was the same age.

Beno = Terry Porter

There is still hope!

[Marcus Bryant]

With Beno's talent he should be a mainstay of the rotation.

[ShoogarBear]

Nobody Wants Beno

Sounds like a new sitcom on UPN.

[wildchild]

Beno has no sister.

But, his mom loves him so much!! really!! :p:Anyway, I like Beno!

[RC's Boss]

Beno is the benches beyotch!

[ShoogarBear]

Beno has no sister.So his mom had to pass all her purse knowledge onto him.
