Good luck Malik.
THC gone :depressed
Clearly the plot to destroy Malik's nba career goes far beyond the Spurs. The other 29 teams must be in on it.Quote:

One of the two............
If the Spurs feel Gee isn't ready for prime time yet, this makes one wonder WHY the team didn't bother to go after another SF?Quote:

The Spurs just lost their only decent perimeter defender. The front office is really obsessed with just finding shooters that are below average defenders.
I wish Malik the best. THC forever.
+1. If Hairston was gonna be gone all along, why didnt the Spurs go after Butler? I guess they'll sign shitty ass Morrison or something.Quote:

What's missing is a SF.
What did him in was twofold: he never stood out among the prospects, and he was out of Toros options.
If they think he may be worth developing beyond this year, he could shuttle between SA and Austin this year. Both Temple and Neal have the size to play SG. Anderson may swing to the SF, too, behind RJ and Gee.Quote:

ok 2 be optomistic maybe hairston will come back after those 2 yrs
Another player the Spurs develop for two seasons and leaves bringing nothing in return...
There's no need to dog on Hairston, BTW. He was a project. He probably felt he wouldn't get too many minutes in our roster and this was probably a good deal for him.
I guess the Spurs are pretty high on Gee. They will likely sign a vet SF now.
It's also a bit telling that Demps isn't making a move for Malik. He positively gushed with praise for Gee. N.O. is in need of some good cheap young talent, and if the Spurs are going to release him, you'd think Demps would give him a call, at least.
They don't want to pay the luxury tax, most likely.Quote:

As I am neither a Hariston Hater or supporter I think this hurts the Spurs. Hariston's loss will be huge. As of right now on the current roster their is NOBODY who can play above average defense at the SG/SF position with the exception of Manu. I don't include Hill because he is a combo SG/PG.
This shows that with Popovich, he either loves you or loses faith in you. You can man up (G.Hill) or regress / get lost (Manhimi). Critics can say Malik can't shoot or has poor ballhandling but that was good enough for Popovich to play Bogans. Perhaps Malik was told to go over to Europe because he was not quite ready yet. He had no Dleague eligibility left. Perhaps the spurs still own his rights like the Hawks owned Childress. Either way, Malik will get better playing time and hopefully he works on his game and is back here in two years. By then he will be a euro-veteran and he should get some playing time for sure. Good luck!
Great. Let's just go out and try to outscore the opposition on a nightly basis.
While other WC teams are getting tougher and more physical, the Spurs are becoming more and more of a finesse team. Now the Spurs don't have a single perimeter defender on the team. How the hell is this team supposed to be any better defensively when they have nothing but poor defenders all around?
It's officlal. Pop has morphed into Don Nelson and the Spurs are now the Golden State Warriors South. It wouldn't surprise me at all if Duncan comes out this season and shows off his new offensive weapon - 3pt shot a la Mehmet Okur. Sheesh!
OV's head is going to explode when he logs on and sees this.
Let's try to construct the F.O. reasoning here:
(1) Rookies who never play a day in the D-league remain in the team (example: Hill, Blair).
(2) Rookies who have been assigned to play exclusively in the D-league never make the team (example: Hairston, Mahinmi)
(3) D-league players (example: Gee, Temple) who are signed stay in the team IF they never get re-assigned to the D-league.
D-league play is the kiss of death if you ever previously got suited up in the Spurs uniform. Or stated in another way, no legit Spurs player ever gets assigned to the D-league.
time to remove "Rumor" from the thread title
it's good i prefer Gee!
So exactly WHERE is the developmental advantage?Quote:

Lame. Let's see what the spurs have planned to fill the massive defensive hole at sf.
