He'd be an awesome fit as a mobile PF and big SF.Quote:

The team have too many guards.
I'd take a flyer on Randolph if we can sign him cheap - low risk, high reward. Kid has huge potential, and Tim/Pop are the kind of mentors that might get through to him.Quote:

It's got the potential to be one of our better defensive lineups EVER. Seriously, even in the Bowen era we typically had to hide a weak defender most of the time. This lineup doesn't have such a weakspot, and it has 2 big who can swat shots, as well as Green and Leonard potentially sneaking up behind people for swats. Every body on the floor is a threat to make a steal. Everybody but Kirilenko has experience in the defensive scheme. I'm creaming my jeans here! I'm not sure the offense would drop off either. All these guys can pass and move, and there are 2 3 pt threats on the floor (Green, Leonard).
TD (26 Minutes), Splitter (22 Minutes)
Kirilenko (20 Minutes) , Diaw (24 Minutes), Leuer (4 Minutes)
Kawhi (30 Minutes) (Kirilenko) (10 Minutes) Sjax (8 Minutes)
Green(30 Minutes) Manu (10 minutes) (SJax) (8 minutes) Dentmon (0 minutes)
Parker (30 Minutes) (Manu) (10 minutes) De Colo (8 Minutes) Mills? (0 minutes)
No one averaging more than 30 MPG...
Has Tim told the team he is coming back for sure??
Yup. Spur for life. :toastQuote:

And that's working so well for the Mavs. They should have signed Chandler before the lockout. If his contract became too much they could have always amnestied him.Quote:

This is good news. In our desire to see a move just for the sake for seeing a new player come through, we sometimes forget that Boris and Paty were super late additions to the roster last year. I would obviously like to see an upgrade at the backup 4, but I'm ok (not thrilled) if we have to roll with bonner and Blair to start the season. If our record is crummy by the trade deadline, I can see either or both of the peices packaged with Jax's expiring tbh.
How mean would it be if we swapped the Pitt teammates, Young for Blair?Quote:

now he is a no brainer even more, because we saw how well he fits. he just turned 30 and let's assume he will be motivated and let's assume he will be in better shape than in the last 5 years, so a MLE contract for 4 years (last year team option) isn't without reason.
currently Spurs can't get any player, who would be close to his talent and fit. not without give up something significant (like Splitter).
re sign Diaw, bring in De Colo and try to get an athletic PF for Blair+Neal.
He's also playing for a contender (he dogs it on sucky teams) and alongside a buddy. Think LeBron to Miami :hat
This. Guys who can score 60 plus over a two game span in the NBA, even playing out the string, don't grow on trees.Quote:

The first fact alone makes him more capable than neal :stirpot:
