This is from Gary Tanguay who first broke the story days ago that Rasheed was heading to Boston:
"I expect Grant Hill to be a Celtic soon. He has met with Doc Rivers in person. Looks like Big Baby is gone to San Antonio"
http://twitter.com/Gary_Tanguay
If true you guys are getting a very likable player in Big Baby.
:smchode: :smchode: :smchode: :smchode: :smchode: :smchode: :smchode:
This is the same guy who broke the Rasheed news.
Please not the full MLE...please please please please
Fuck. I like Davis, but Dyess is much much better. :pctoss
Big Baby is awesome...don't think he's coming to the Spurs, though...
Shit.
Finley and Bonner, please be gone. Your efforts to being traded will be greatly appreciated.
we can do so much better than Big Baby.
I'd rather have Brandon Bass.
Big Baby rebounds and block shots worse than Bonner.
i'd take Davis
depends on price though
:rollin:rollin:rollin
If true, this night just went from bad to worse.
This would be a major, major blunder. Please do not let this be true. Please. If this is true, like I said, I HATE the RJ trade overall. Spurs will be capped out and out of the 2010 race.
No way you pay the luxury tax for Big Baby. Tim would ask to be traded.

If Big Baby is our MLE signing, the RJ trade would currently be a failure..

Spurs obviously do not look at these if this is true. I wonder if Tim would voice his displeasure to the media if this happened. I would hope so. Baby does not even shoot the ball well.Quote:

It was a follow-up story though, but you're right..Quote:

His source for first reporting the Wallace-Boston commitment was KG..so I guess it would take somebody close to Baby to be his source right now, since I doubt he knows anybody in SA..
if we lose Gooden for this fatass, it's retarded.
Yeah I get all that ... the point of the original poster was that he broke the news of the actual signing today.Quote:

Davis looked pretty good in the playoffs but he's not a fit. He doesn't rebound. He doesn't block shots. He gets pushed around down low. And offensively, he's more of a volume shooter.
He'd make sense on a team that needs a lot of scoring from a bigman. The Spurs don't really need that. They need rebounding and defense.
Man, WTF. Don't tell me the Spurs want him because of that one time he had that fluke defensive game against TD.
:lolQuote:

For everyone that remembers how well he did in last year's playoffs (averaging 17.6ppg or so and 7.3rpg), if he averaged those kind of numbers for a season, he'd be WAY OUT OF THE SPURS PRICE RANGE.
Simply put, this guy could be a steal for a decade plus!!!
I guess the spurs forgot that the Lakers have players taller then 6"7
Then what is the 2010 plan?Quote:

If the Spurs look to fill the void with Big Baby, the net effects (handcuffing yourself out of 2010 with much more talent available) could be worse. A team with RJ + Baby is not going to win a title. The PF/C would be awful.
So, you have to look at all moves combined along with the opportunity costs associated with the moves. Hence, I do not like the RJ trade if it lead to Big Baby as the main big (using the MLE on him).
We already have enough ?s in the frontcourt, which is the annoying thing..this spot should be used for a proven guy..
No it won't...RJ fills a major weakness at the SF. Something the Spurs need a much as getting another big.Quote:

He wouldn't be the main big. Spurs will bank on their young guys for that.Quote:

For the record, Big Baby averaged 15.8 points and 5.6 rebounds in 36.4 minutes per game in the playoffs.Quote:

fuck you ducks. You motherfucking dickhead.
spurs moving duncan from a scorer to a more rebounding/defense role? i like davis but not over sheed and mcdyess.
I will fucking Hulk Smash if this is true.

See what shakes loose once the big chips fall.
The 2010 plan was about building a contender for Duncan's last years.
Don't worry about Big Baby.. the Mahinmi+Blair tandem is going to be awesome enough to hold down the front court :drunk
Richard Jefferson is likely a better player than SA could have gotten in 2010 by blowing off this season and waiting...and SA basically got him without having to give up anything. If they want Bowen or Oberto back they can choose that. so it was a good deal all on its ownQuote:

Thanks for the minor correction! But for the MLE, at his young age coupled with what he's already done ON A WINNING TEAM, NOT A LOTTERY TEAM, he could be steal and THEN SOME for the MLE.Quote:

I think San Antonio is going to have to pay enough to get Baby. If they only offer him like 3 million, Boston will match. So this is not a sure thing yet.

No rookie without experience that is paid less than him would take that spot.
Would you rather they didn't sign anyone else this year? That along with renouncing the RJ deal and you'd be happy?Quote:

We're fucked.
It's all that ugly ass Scola's fault.
Common sense again....for someone on this forum!!Quote:

And you really think they'd sign Splitter for more than the MLE?
Still tougher than any pic Karl Malone ever took.Quote:

Did I say it was? I clearly said IF the Big Baby report is true, I do not like it. I am not judging until it happens.Quote:

It would make it very difficult to go another direction when it fails (if baby signs for the MLE).
I also said that I like the RJ trade in isolation. But that is not the point I am trying to make.

Gladly if we can't get McDyess. But it looks like the Spurs are interested in something shorter.Quote:

Goddamnit. If they can't get Dice, Zaza should be next. Big Baby's not bad for a bench guy, but the Spurs need a fucking starter who can set some screens, play D, and rebound. RC must have gotten confused watching tape and think he's signing Perkins.
Spurs fans are fickle!!! Don't you know that!!:lolQuote:

It's a joke. Get a sense of humor. Maybe try and remove that stick as well. Btw did you ever find those posts of mine where I was pining for Sheed?Quote:

Everyone's assuming this is a done deal because of one freaking twitter??? What is the noun form of twitter? Yes, TWIT. That's what all the cliff jumping makes you. At least wait for a credible, confirmed source before killing yourseves.
I can't believe the FO would be this stupid, so I'm going with reason. Not happening.
Davis makes sense coming off the bench. The fact that the Spurs seem to be just as active in targeting reserve bigs in free agency as they have been in going after Wallace and McDyess makes be believe that they have an option, be it a trade or by signing Splitter to address the starting 5 spot.
I know who it is but man these are the most flowery photos ever...lolQuote:

Assuming it's true we have no idea what he'd sign for. Mahinmi is making over $1.5 million and was a first round pick. Big Baby would 100% have to play for a starting spot. Especially considering his size.Quote:

Signing Big Baby would be tremendous garbage, and if the Spurs blew their MLE (or a goodly portion of it), they're even more irrational than I thought they were.
IF McDyess already told them no, and ZaZa brushed them off, they're better off saving their money and rolling the dice with Mr. Glass and Dejuan Blair than committing any money to Big Baby.
Hell, sign Leon Powe instead.
I'd rather the Spurs stick with Matt Bonner as the starting big, and I can't stand Matt Bonner.
You mistake my intent. I think this signing makes the signing of Rasho in 2003 look like the steal of the century. This guy is going to eat himself out of the league before his contracts up.Quote:

In case you didn't notice, the FA crop this year isn't so good. You sound as if you wanted to save as much money as possible for 2010.Quote:
