Delfino blows.
I'd rather have Barry. Maybe even Roger Mason.
If Maggette gets scooped up by someone else and the top restricted free agents such as JR Smith and Josh Childress are attainable, landing a combination of Delfino and Pietrus could work. Neither one is a great scorer but the defense would be improved, the rebounding would be a lot better and the Spurs would actually have some perimeter athletes.
That said, it's hard to imagine landing both. Delfino will likely attract MLE money when it's all said and done and so will Pietrus. The hope would be Delfino for the LLE and Pietrus for the MLE.
The good news is the Spurs are casting a large net this offseason should be able to get at least one quality swingman. It's unclear who but the notion of the Spur standing pat has pretty much been proven false.
just because he is an agie does not make him great
he is a big fucking baby

Delfino is everything I worry about in Maggette without the associated talent.
Buy low. The Raptors didn't give him the qualifying offer. Maybe some team offers him a big chunk of their MLE. I'm not sure. He has the skills to be an effective bench swingman for the Spurs. 25 years old.
As the primary swingman pickup this summer he'd be underwhelming. But as an additional one, he'd be a pretty good gamble.
DELFINO will work. obviously an upgrade than bringing back finley.
Ya but for how much? There is no way he takes a pay cut and he made almost 2 mil last year. One would have to believe any offer to be taken serious would have to be around 3 mil which eats up half the MLE and all the chances for Maggette or J.R. or Childress. This would be un dude like.
Exactly.Quote:

I'm not a fan of Delfino..his style is too similar to a poor man's Manu..not the way they play, but the fact that they're both severely erratic players..they're both risky players that can come out and give you a great game, but can also come out any game and have bad games..not much of a middle ground..
I'd rather have Manu and then a more consistent SG with him, like Brent Barry..
Delfino can shoot, dunk, rebound, slash, really good defender... He fits a lot of the needs of the Spurs, with Manu and Oberto he will be motivated and the chemistry off the bench would be insane.
I think Delfino would work, he has so much to prove.
I'm not down with this if we're going to lose our only 2 pure 3-point shooters.(Finley,Barry)
Does anyone remember 2004? Teams will just pack the paint like the Lakers did in the playoffs.
If we're fortunate enough to land Maggette, Barry and/or Finley (preferably Barry) has to be retained. We have to have some proven clutch 3-point shooting to keep defenses honest. Delfino and Pietrus dont fit the bill.
Both Delfino and Pietrus CAN hit the 3-ball. While they're not the prolific 3-ball shooters that Finley and Barry are, they DO have that range. On the flip side, they're not one-trick ponies either.Quote:

Delfino is pretty good defensively, can go to the hole, has pretty good handles, and is good on the break. He is a streak shooter as previously mentioned...and he shoots even when he is completely off to the detriment of the team at times.
He was in the doghouse for a while in Detroit, and seemed to be a bit on the mentally weak side, complaining about Larry Brown and others in Argentinian papers when things weren't going his way.
If we're going to get Delfino, can we get Hermann too? It'll simplify things for the second string, we can even bring in Magnano to coach them..
At this point any of the available FA will be an upgrade from last season.
