Tim Duncan 32 MPG
Bench
Manu Ginobili 28 MPG
DeJuan Blair 18 MPG
George Hill 16 MPG
Matt Bonner 12 MPG
Keith Bogans 10 MPG

Would be a damn solid squad.
Spurs wont try and trade for Jackson. Im pretty sure about that. I think they want to concentrate more on acquiring role players and if they were to make one more blockbuster trade it would have to be for another big man IMO.
We already have 3 backcourt players who can go for 20PPG any given night. Spurs need a defensive presence next to Duncan if they wanna win it all. Mcdyess is a good player but I honestly think he cant contain either Bynum or Gasol especially if Bynum improves. Mcdyess will be solid for us this year but i just think that we need a bigger body....
Why couldn't he "contain" Gasol?Quote:

Bynum? Please...
Yeah, I will agree that they are, but while Jackson has improved offensively, his defensive skills have degraded. I really don't see Jack filling a need on our team now that we have Jefferson. If we are looking to give someone a green light to jack up 3's, I would rather have Mason doing it than Jack. He has had problems since leaving us in 2003 and really I am not sold on his desire to win another championship.Quote:

Lastly, the issue of his salary. We are already in the luxury tax, so we don't need to be spending more when the player isn't filling a PRESSING need.
TBQH, I think the only way we trade for Jack is if we get towards the deadline and Manu is still a question mark.
The centers are water downed this day and age. The player you want simply isn't alive. Camby could be that player to a very slight extent due to his age. There's a reason Spurs signed Ratliff even if its to contribute 10 minutes a game. He's a better defender and shot blocker and is tougher than Camby. They signed him to help out the areas you suggests that we need.Quote:

A lineup of Duncan Jefferson Jackson Manu Parker could be a force against LA's go to line up with Odom at the 4.

Also Bynum could make this Lakers team DAMN great if he continues to improve. Last year Duncan couldnt contain him at times and Bynum did a pretty damn good defensive job on Tim as well.
Small ball to end games?
Tony PG
Manu SG
S Jax SF
Jefferson PF
Duncan C
Everyone always says to put your best players on the court.. would you end games like that?
Probably not. We would have to stay bigger up front.Quote:

I don't know if any of you know..
or if this is big news..
but about a week or two ago..
Jackson and Shaq were in Port Arthur, TX in a school I believe.....
I don't know if that means anything.. but yeah.
I would Take SJax In A heartbeat, That Is The one Main Mistake I think The spurs Front office did was Letting Him go.... but He wont be Back, we Have nothing to Offer To Golden state..... but He does Have Ice In his Veins.....
Man if we could land Jax for only a package of Bonner/Fin/picks/cash/ and whatever else we could have some straight big time shot makers in Mason and Jax. :tu. That would be the shit.
We'd have to include Mason.Quote:

jax is teh ultimate team mate, you be a fool not going after his services....
I don't think Jax fits into the new Spurs mold. Really don't have a true center but Tim. McDyess is not a true center. Jax coming off the bench with Manu would be awesome. Starting with RJ, Tony, Tim, and Dice really doesn't provide Jax with enough shots. Since he left us he has become a shot hog, playing with team that expect him to score alot. IF we got him he would need to score 10-12 a game. He doesn't fit as exciting as the picture may seem.
This is like one of those horror movies where the monster is killed, finito, no mas, the end, dead as a doornail....and then comes back to life.
Some folks need to get a grip. Repeat after me. Jax will not play for the Spurs this year...not ever.
