LLE?

[NewJerSpur]

This guys' hands are freakishly large. I think he can palm a baksetball between his thumb and index finger. I know that wasn't really informative in the least bit, but I can't get that weird image out of my head. Scary.

[AFBlue]

LLE...hell yeah.

Trade Bonner for cap space and give his role to this kid.

[T Park]

Love his game, I just think hes been lost in the shuffle in Charlotte and Detroit.

[Bob Lanier]

Meh.

[jdaveah]

I'd fully support acquiring Walter.

I'd fully support acquiring Walter.

+100 especially to replace donner

[Bob Lanier]

What is the fascination with this guy?

He's atrociously inefficient on offense, doesn't rebound well for his size at all, can't pass, in all honesty is not an above average defensive player... What?

so the legends are true..

[bigdog]

shit, he can palm it with his index and thumb. that's insane.

i like this guy, he's alot better on offense than most think, and he hasn't been given enough of an opportunity in the NBA to show that, or his defense.

he played very well in Charlotte at one point, averaging about 20 PPG, so the dude can score.

Some Spurs fans saw his game with the Argentine team.
He's like a Nocioni type player. I think maybe the last few clubs hide that fact.

From what I saw he'd probably help. He can shoot the three, and plays tough.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

LLE...hell yeah.

I'm down with that.

Or trade Bonner for the backup PG we so badly need, or a project swingman.

[Bruno]

He should go back in Europe, likely in Spain.

[mrspurs]

still not the kind of player I'm looking for....i like his youth, but I'm sticking with someone bigger....i still think bowens day are numbered, and replacing someone with his style is super super hard to do...meaning we need a better low post player to help Timmy when other teams guards like kobe,cp3 etc drive in....if we cant stop them from coming in, then like the old days, make them work for that layup...go spurs go

Hermann>Bonner

[ynh]

He's a RFA.. Pistons will match if all you throw at him is the LLE. He either stays with the pistons or he goes back to Europe.

[hater]

this guy is an NBA player. he just needs his minutes to prove it

[Biggems]

what salary does he figure to command?

what are your thoughts of him possibly becoming a Spur?

[urunobili]

he has offers from both the Grizzlies and the T Wolves and a HUGE one from Pamesa Valencia his former team in Spain... that was just reported on T&C Sports in Argentina

[spurman20]

I dont think he fits the spurs, we need to find another athletic wing and a C

[ChumpDumper]

Couldn't we just sign one of your clients?

[Biggems]

I dont think he fits the spurs, we need to find another athletic wing and a C

He is athletic. However, he is quite the showboat.

My guess is that he will go back to Spain......

[wisnub]

Damn who the hell is he? Might as well playing in Tau and join fucking splitter

[ducks]

Argentine players are not always like manu people

[Pistons < Spurs]

There's still a chance that Hermann remains a Piston....


Maggette is going to get at least the full mid-level. The Warriors could possibly pay him more than the mid-level. The Celtics and Spurs are also in the mix.

Posey will also most likely get the full mid-level. The Celtics are the front-runner to retain his services, but might have to give him a four-year offer to close the deal. Posey will be 32 in January.

Pietrus on Tuesday agreed to a deal with Orlando starting at approximately $5.2 million.

The Pistons also backed away from Jones. He had opted out of $3.1 million and the Heat have offered him a five-year deal starting at approximately $4 million.

That left two restricted free agents, Miles and former Piston Delfino. These would appear to be last-resort type signings.

Before it came down to signing one of those two players, Dumars would probably first attempt to re-sign Walter Herrmann, the Pistons' restricted free agent. Herrmann could make more money playing overseas, so he might balk at a one or two-year offer.

Again, there's no urgency for Dumars to sign a free agent. With the exception of Maggette, he's looking for an eighth or ninth guy in the rotation. Those types of players are readily available.

Dumars is still exploring trades, and with that in mind, he might be foolish to make a long-term, high-dollar commitment to a tier-two free agent.

He might be better to keep financial and roster flexibility until all trade scenarios are exhausted.

I'm betting the Spurs find some cheap lesser known 6'9" or larger guy before summer's over.... Andre Brown, anyone?
