What do you think about this?

[DAF86]

delfino and herrmann are both free agents after this season. We need young and athletic swingmen. i know i may be BS 'cause i'm an argentinian but how do you feel about signing these two guys next season?

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Delfino, I question his mental toughness.
Pass on Herrmann.

[freemeat]

DAF86 = Carlos Delfino. Don't be fooled!

[tp2021]

we should sign them and trade for nocioni and scola while we're at it. forget the nba championship... we can win olympic gold with the San Antonio Manu & Co.

What if we do sign them along with Pepe Sanchez,Leonardo Gutierrez,and Ruben Wolkowyski. That would be awesome :pctoss

[freemeat]

Dammit...Where's a good "Billy" thread?

[Deimosfobos]

I don't like Delfino, i do like Herrmann tho...

[DAF86]

i'd rather have delfino instead of finley this year

[freemeat]

I like spinach.

[DAF86]

delfino is averaging almost 10 pt with 40% from 3, plays good defense and can actually dribble the ball. the only swingman in the spurs right now that can do all these things is manu

Cue.....Bones.

[DAF86]

Cue.....Bones.
did you read the "plays good defense" part?

[vander]

delfino is definitely on my very short wish list, the other guys are D Gibson and S Vujacic (sp?)

[DAF86]

don't get me wrong i love barry but he's 35 years old and i'm thinking about next season

[freemeat]

did you read the "plays good defense" part?

Barry's D has come a long way in the past few seasons...still not great, but his offensive skills (shooting, passing and decision-making) more than make up for it...so, yes, I will take Barry over Delfino any day.

[ploto]

Sorry- can't have Carlos...

[DAF86]

Sorry- can't have Carlos...
see raptors fans like him.
now how many times this season have we read things like: "finley sucks", "barry isn't making shot sit him","we need to get younger"...

[ChumpDumper]

see raptors fans like him.
now how many times this season have we read things like: "finley sucks", "barry isn't making shot sit him","we need to get younger"...Expectations are different for .500 teams in the east.

[DAF86]

and in my opinion herrmann is better than delfino. he's big size small forward which could help us a lot in the rebounding area, a great 3 point shooter and a lot of fun to watch (he could be a dunking option besides tim and manu :p: )

[DAF86]

Expectations are different for .500 teams in the east.
i'll take your word on this one :p:

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

It would be nice to snag Carlos and James Jones for the MLE, but I doubt that can be done. Delfino's on my shortlist for next year's swing rotation.

if we could land Hermann for the LLE or trade exception, I'm down with that.

[DAF86]

I will take Barry over Delfino any day.

would you take barry over delfino for the next 3 years?

[pad300]

I think you guys are really aiming low in this thread. Consider next years likely line-up
The almost certain:
Bigs - Duncan, Oberto, Bonner, Mahinmi, Splitter
PGs - Parker, Vaughn
Wings - Bowen, Manu, Barry, Udoka

We need a two wings, a big, and a PG.
I expect the Spurs to resign KT using his Bird Rights, which fills the big slot.
I expect the Spurs to sign a 3ed PG for either the vet min or the LLE, which fills the PG slot
I expect their 1st round pick to be a wing player. 1 wing spot left, with the whole MLE to play with. I think they need to aim higher than Delfino. Delfino is NOT getting the whole MLE from anybody...

[thispego]

we dont have any room on this team for perfectly manicured eyebrows

[urunobili]

Kapono>Delfino

[Indazone]

Hermann on the Spurs would be like a godsend. That boy can flat out light it up. Got a sweet 3 pt shot. He's been screwed on the Pisons team.

[xtremesteven33]

NBA players on Spurs Wish list

-Ron Artest
-Carlos Delfino
-Andres Nocioni

[DAF86]

Kapono>Delfino
delfino: 9.6 pts-4.6 reb-1.9 ast.-38%3pt.
kapono: 7.9 pts-1.6 reb-o.8 ast.-48%3pt.

and delfino is way better than kapono on defense. plus delfino is a free agent next season kapono isn't.

[DAF86]

I think they need to aim higher than Delfino. Delfino is NOT getting the whole MLE from anybody...

tell me in a realistic way how much higher could the spurs aim. we don't need an allstar we have 3 already. we need a young, athletic,solid, and smart role player. Idon't think there is a better fit available for us next season.
plus you should never underestimate the argentinian connection :p:

[ChumpDumper]

So the Spurs offer Delfino the full MLE this summer.

Toronto matches.

Now what?

[DAF86]

Now what?

you go for herrmann :lol

[ChumpDumper]

So someone else makes an offer for Herrmann that he takes.

Now what?

[DAF86]

well i don't know... can you play?

[Hemotivo]

:lol

[T Park]

Herrmann yes, Delfino no.

[ChumpDumper]

well i don't know... can you play?I'm not Argentinian, so I cannot be considered.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

:lol

[DAF86]

i am but i suck :cry

[hater]

Delfino is an underachiever. Hermann an overachiever.

I would take one. the overachiever for cheap

[urunobili]

delfino: 9.6 pts-4.6 reb-1.9 ast.-38%3pt.
kapono: 7.9 pts-1.6 reb-o.8 ast.-48%3pt.

and delfino is way better than kapono on defense. plus delfino is a free agent next season kapono isn't.
Kapono would fit the role Bones has on this team... and let's say that Brent's D is not the greatest in the world.. the spurs already signed Udoka as a defender wing.. and BTW Delfino plays as their defensive stopper as he is the only one with the mindset on the entire team...

Kapono >>>>> Delfino on Spurs system... his role would be to jack up 3's as Pop loves them to do...

:smokin

:smokin

wrong. Barry's role is to be a playmaker as well. Kapono knows nothing about the topic

ok, fair enogh. now tell me how do you land kapono in san antonio... delfino=free agent next season. kapono is stuck with the raptors.

[vanvannen]

delfino and herrmann are both free agents after this season. We need young and athletic swingmen. i know i may be BS 'cause i'm an argentinian but how do you feel about signing these two guys next season?

at least he acknowledges he "may be" BS...

[DAF86]

at least he acknowledges he "may be" BS...

before you all make fun of me. give me a better, POSSIBLE option for the 2 and 3 spots

[DAF86]

i am but i suck :cry

i let the door open for a "don't cry for me argentina" joke but nobody took advantage of it... :)

[YoMamaIsCallin]

I think that "What do you think about this?" should make the top 10 list of really, really stupid thread titles.

Put a little freakin thought into it next time, OK?

By the way... what would the other 9 on the top 10 list be?

[urunobili]

wrong. Barry's role is to be a playmaker as well. Kapono knows nothing about the topic
playmaker? come on hater you're better than that! his playmaking abilities are WAY overated... i can definitively give you that he is > Kapono on that aspect... but the Spurs will have Manu for that...

[Spurs Brazil]

I like Hermann

I think he'd be a good pickup

[DAF86]

it's a way of getting more views and replies it's a journalist technique but if you don't like it i'll put "a little freakin thought into it" next time.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Hermann wouldn't be a bad pickup, regardless of the Argentinian bias.

In the 2006 World Championships he was a pretty good contributor, can do a lot as a SF, dirty work, can shoot the three, doesn't seem like he'd be a pussy.


Delfino ? No thanks, He seems to be the black sheep of that argentinian team, probably because his age or something, but he doesn't seem all that great.
