I don't give a shit if the talent the spurs acquire is young or old! Just give timmy help. You ride that timmy train into the ground, every year duncan is on the spurs is a chance for the spurs to win a championship. Once timmy is gone, unless a ping-pong miracle happens again, it is going to be a long time that we are going to see the finals.
Both 'Sheed and Dice at their old age are more athletic than Bonner was in his "physical prime", whenever that was..
If Ian can come in and be our athletic defensive big, and we sign Gooden to be reasonable price..I would take one of these guys if they sign a 1-year deal for cheap..so I don't know how likely that would be, it depends on the interest from other teams..I don't see anybody being interested in 'Sheed, other than the Spurs, Celtics, and Cavs..
Probably Sheed.
how bout just resigning gooden rather then sign another 34 yr older to our already league oldest age average team.
'Cause Gooden isn't half the player Rasheed is.Quote:

So it would have to be a cheap ,short contract and certainly not expecting the player of 2004.
depends on years on gooden and dice and sheed
That's what I have been saying the whole time.Quote:

You guys should go for Sheed. He's injured right now; mentally and otherwise. When he was healthy and motivated he looked fantastic this year defensively and was hitting 3's at a nice clip.
Your coach isn't stupid enough to play him 40 minutes a game and he will be able to keep him in check. More than anything, agreeing with the philosophy of the team and winning will bring out the best in him.
Dice is not really what you need IMO. However, he will help you on the boards.
Dice has mid-range j
sheed generates his own offence but low percentage
difficult decision
eh, excuse me . can we take Hamilton ?
Sheed. Easily. And for all the "we need to get younger" crowd. Well guess what? We fucked that up in the Duncan era. We should have started that mission right after the 06 mavs series. But now it would be poor repayment to Tim to surround him with a whole brand new cast with no experience in his last few years. Our only hope for another ship in the Duncan era is to pull a superstar veteran (and by veteran I don't mean someone who has obviously been past his prime for 5 years now like finley) like Sheed and hope he has enough in the tank to get us one more ship.
Lets face it...the youth movement isn't starting until after Timmy retires. So you may as well get used to some hard years ahead. Even though I wont complain. Who would have thought after MJ retired (the second time) that ten years later the Spurs would have the fourth most ships in NBA history and be arguably the third best franchise in NBA history? We have had a good run but it's about over. We all knew this day would come but it is still hard.
Sheed will stretch the floor, and still demands attention in the post. Dice will give you the mid range, but he doesn't really like to post us much.Quote:

But what the spurs need to do with their money is straight up sign a New Piece. A straight up stud. Any less isnt enough.
The spurs FO is going to be busy this summer, The FO has some work to do.

To each his own. We don't need a cancer like Wallace on this team. We need youth and athleticism not a migraine headache. But, knowing Pop none of the 3 will be a Spur next season. He'll go find some 50 year olds who can shoot worth a damn.
Wallace has never been a cancer.Quote:
