ES's Broussard quote is about a thousand times better than mine.
He opts out, expecting to get paid this summer and then Baron Davis screws him out of his large payday. I'd say he's going to be a little sensitive about where he ends up next and how that will pay off for him.

Maggette 32
Manu 25
4th wing 13-15
There's no issue with Maggette getting minutes.
Maggette averaged almost 36 mpg last season. I don't know his mindset, but he obviously loves to take a lot of shots and I can imagine that minutes are on his mind. He might look at it this way:
Bowen: 30
Manu: 25-32
Udoka: 20
Delfino: ?
Barry: ?
Don't get me wrong-- I'd like Maggette to join the Spurs (esp. at a bargain MLE salary), but my concern is he might think of New Orleans as a better fit. I think guys like JR Smith & Maggette might be a little afraid of Pop because they know about his defense-first approach and his take-no-shit, tough-love approach to coaching... no way an angry Pop would play him the minutes an angry Dunleavy did... just a thought...guess we'll see in the next few weeks.

I disagree with all that.

If the Spurs sign Maggette, Udoka is not going to get 20mpg. I think Manu's minutes would be reduced a little in the regular season. Ditto for Bowen's. I could see something like
Maggette 35
Manu 26
Bowen 27
Udoka 10
Maggette will be here for one reason and one reason only and that is to play a ton of regular season minutes and put up points.

If Spurs are going after Delfino and Magette I wonder if Udoka is trade bait. He has an extrmely favorable contract for his level of play.

Exactly. I hate Broussard, and not just because of this. This is just yet another piece of commentary from an East Coast "blowhard" who hasn't done his homework. These guys are all so-called experts, but they don't know shit about the Spurs roster, how Pop utlizes his rotations or even what talent is stashed overseas. Most of them, (not name Bucher) don't know who Ian Mahinmi is.

Yeah hes gonna in reality at times be the third option behind Duncan and Parker and Ginobili will get reduced minutes, hell even GAMES off more than likely.

Well, the Spurs may like having the depth at the 2 and 3. Also, as Udoka's contract ends next summer, they may be anticipating him leaving rather than giving him a contract past 2010.

Doubtfull they would get anything for him, and doubtfull they would trade him.
Maggette replaces Finley
Delfino would replace Barry
Thats a big if, if either one comes.

I don't know about the number of minutes, but it's obvious that Maggatte is going to get a lot of time on the floor. Bowen can play the 2, and with Maggette's strength and power I can see him as a better fit at the 4 than Finley who played that position a lot when the Spurs went small ball.
Plus, unless I missed something he will be a starter and probably get starters minutes.

Re: Chris Broussard doesnt think Maggette should go to Spurs
Yeah IF Maggette signed, he would become the automatic starting shooting guard barring injury, which with him, its possible.

Only way I could see them getting both Delfino and Magette is letting Barry and Barry (in edit: Finley) walk. Delfino and Magete are both going to want contracts extending beyond 2010 I'd think.

STFU, you were the one who started shit by insuating whatever the fuck you were trying to insuate by saying, "of course you would".

Re: Chris Broussard doesnt think Maggette should go to Spurs
Obviously, I hope Maggette decides to come aboard. I just don't want to see a long, drawn-out process. I hope he makes his decision soon enough.

I agree with you, but my numbers represented what Maggette might be thinking...total speculation, of course.... But if Manu is healthy, 26 mpg is awfully sparse for a guy who is so productive. I get the whole "keep him fresh" theory, but maybe Maggette worries that that concept carries over for everybody. I'm sure when playing against Manu, Maggette must think, "damn, this guy is goood..." and then wonder about the whole minutes-played configuration... like I said, total speculation.... but there are few players with Manu's patience & understanding regarding playing time.

With all due respect, I doubt one bit Maggette has wondered why hes so fresh, and what not.

Yeah, Barry would be gone if you bring in those two.
Delfino may want such a contract but I don't think he's in a position to get one.
As for Maggette, he'd get one that would extend past 2010, but would have a player option to become a free agent that summer.

No, I think they plan to use Udoka as a small ball 4. Bonner will not make it off the bench all of next year, too.
