this has to be the stupidest analogy I've ever seen on SpursTalk, and that's saying something.Quote:

San Antonio Spurs are unforgettable, TD21 Addidas shoes, headbands on top. Old, slow, and reliable, when it comes to defense Bruce Bowen's got it on lock. Southwest represent, now put your hands up (to avoid getting a foul called on you) ohho oohhhohhh

I would take shaq, but I think we need a back up sf foist
People complain too much about Shaq's inability to defend the pick and roll. The number one concern any Spurs fan should have heading into this season... is getting past the Lakers. Thats the only team in the West as it currently stands, the Spurs have no shot of beating. Shaq's inability to defend the pick and roll pretty much goes out the window in that matchup. He's pretty much a perfect fit against the Lakers.
Sure, other teams will be able to exploit him on the defensive end, but you have to consider the fact he will only be playing 15-20 minutes a night... and the Spurs have more than capable alternatives if that is the case.
At this point in his career.. and the offseason for that matter.. i think he could be had for the LLE and not expect to be the starting C and on the floor at crunch time. I'd love the deal if he would come for the LLE.
Sign Shaq and trade Bonner for a half-decent backup SF!
Two pages and no one answered the question. No, Shaq is not in San Antonio. Yes, it was a schtick.
Pop & RC are holding the winning card....they can up the ante and offer Shaq all the AT&T arena food he can eat...after the game.
where's the mobility at? i love blair, but at sf? snails would move faster than that offense. and don't get me started on the perimeter d....Quote:

I would love to have Shaq on the Spurs do long as Pop plays him, but not too much and not as a starter (assuming everyone is healthy).
Blair isn't that slow. He could play SF in a pinch, but not longer than 6-8 minutes at a time.Quote:

Yes, he's a rookie, and only 6'6, but I think he'll fit the role nicely.
If Shaq will sign, then you gotta sign him...give him his two years and whatever money is left!

You're comparing apples and pears here. Blair lacks the lateral movement, quickness and speed to play the SF position. Quicker forwards would outplay him when he's defending.Quote:

LeBron is a big SF with all the tools a SF needs to possess. Lenght, athleticism, speed, ball handling, quickness, lateral movement etc...
I understand your argument - Blair at SF would be nice, but face the truth, he'll never be one.

Should have googled it first - in German the phrase is comparing apples and pears. Well now I can say I learned something new today too ;)
