Best bang for the buck. This is the big I'd like to see the Spurs go after. Real crowd favorite, high energy, emotion guy too.

That's an understatement. He'd be in the doghouse after the first workout session of the first day of training camp.Quote:

Spurs are going to have to get a little creative. They can't afford to sit back and wait for the boy scouts to sign up.

This will do wonders for the Spurs street cred.
They need a drug addict with tats.
I saw him in Euroleague Final 4, he made an impressive game.
Anderson > Bourousis huh? :lmaoQuote:

But he's always coked up. He'll never decline, physically at least.:lolQuote:

Damn, he was a beast today. Pop would be crazy to not at least show interest. I'd rather have Byrdman than McDyess or Sheed. He seems to be the closest there is to a Dirk-stopper in this league.

He'd be damn good on the Spurs starting next to Duncan. He's a shotblocker who, unlike Camby, actually makes game-altering blocks. He doesn't just survive off of "I'm not guarding my man so I'll come over here and block a point guard" type of worthless blocks. He's been this productive all season long.
But .......... I just don't see it on the Spurs. Even if he's changed, he was a meth head not that long ago. He's still more of a freelancer than Pop likes. He'll be a player many teams consider. And he's old enough that giving him a long-term contract is questionable.
I'd love it but I don't see it.
Spurs went after JR Smith so there's hope.
Birdman will be the one I'll be bummed about when the Spurs don't sign him.
So you want the Spurs to stay old as dirt? Unreal.:nopeQuote:

anderson would be a great one to do that with
it be a good sign....if he fucks up, we can always blame it on the meth
well i'd love to get him! he played great today, he had what 4 blocks??
Buy high, so to speak.
Which they would have done, and would have waited until the last minute to do so, if for no other reason than payback for Elson.Quote:
