Could he pass a physical?
Obviously I would like Prince if we knew he was healthy..he's long, a great 1 on 1 defender, and he gives Kobe problems, which would obviously benefit us..but just like most others in this thread have said, he's already broken down and it doesn't look good for the rest of his career..
gumby is not worth over $10 mil per year. i'll pass
Sorry, I misread your intent as "he's not old and brittle (like Jefferson is)."Quote:

I agree with Harlem though, Spurs need to upgrade the 2 spot with a more all around player. Only if we could integrate Bogans and Mason into one player.
I did qualify my opinion by saying IF he can get get healthy and stay healthy for the two years and play at the level that has made him a star he could help out.Quote:

I'd take Prince over Jefferson, after what I've seen from Jefferson so far. But if it means not leaving enough $ to resign Manu, then forget it.
I'm a HUGE Prince fan, playing for a contender again, I think you'd find he would step his game back up. I also think that the current Pistons line-up doesn't really compliment his game.
If he takes a buyout and signs, it's a no brainer.
Why do the Spurs love going after shitty overpaid SF? 14M for Dick now 10+M for Prince. :lmao What a joke.
He can't "step his game up" for a contender if he's having big injury problems..it's physically impossible..
learn to read. they are not going after him read what hollinger wrote....:toastQuote:

I don't approve of trading for anything short of a true big (6'10 or above) who can excel on the defensive end. Even then, don't know; depends on who we would give up.
So :td to a Prince acquisition thru trade.
if the spurs can do that, i rather they put bonner in mahinmi's body. or maybe blair in mahinmi's body... oh oh oh duncan in mahinmi's body :wowQuote:

We needed the best PF of the history to win the first tittle in 25 years so if we are realistic it's going to be hard to win more tittles.See what happen in Houston after Olajuwon even when they were lucky in the NBA draft.What can I say of Chicago even when they had 2 first pick in the NBA draft (Brand & Rose)
There are not a lot of Duncans.We were lucky to have him here.
Prince looks washed up this year. And doesn't he have a bad back?
So no Prince (salary way too high for an injured player, I'd rather have Caron Butler at that price).
No Battier (Rockets won't give him up, though they have a lot of SF's);
who should we (could we) get to replace Bogans as the starter?
All I can think of is Salmons, but I don't know if the Bulls would part with him.
Maybe Hairston will blow up in Austin and they'll give him more play with the Spurs; he already knows the system and would adjust more quickly.
Hairston isn't going to get a chance this year..
a deal for Salmons/Thomas would fill in 2 needs..
I'd still rather get a big over anything else though..
precisely. people's complaints about him are the same they had about Bowen. Now that Bowen's gone, people have conveniently forgotten they complained about him, too.Quote:

Exactly. ESPN "reports" Prince is being shopped, then slips in the fact that some random fan asked Hollinger (of all people) if he would fit on the Spurs. ESPN has no journalistic integrity at all.Quote:

ehhh..... hope it doesnt happen, but if it does I'd welcome him. Nothing us fans can do about it except support the team.
If it happens, Ideally keep him on the sidelines until he recovers and hope he steps it up come playoffs.
again, hope it doesnt happen.
The type of mileage he's got would make a pornstar blush; Manu's already got that covered..
Sefolosha looked pretty good as a defender last night, though I doubt the Thunder would part with him (and I know nothing of the rest of his game).
I guess it is true that Bogans is a really good deal, and any offense we get from him is a bonus.
No, but thanks.
