I consider McGuire and Singleton small forwards. Tbh, I've never seen McGuire play in the paint; in fact, last game of the season he was playing point guard for the Warriors for a stretch. Singleton is too small to survive as a full time four, IMO.Quote:

I have a strange feeling we'll end up with K-Mart, and that wouldn't be a bad fit (unless his histrionics on the court lead to chemistry issues, which is unlikely but not out of the realm of possibility).
Oh, and timvp, absolutely loving your writing over the past few months. IMHO, you've taken it to another level entirely. Thank you. :toast :D
I don't know, except that he's a good poster with solid takes, unlike the trash you spread around the place... :lmao ;)Quote:

Hopefully he won't end up in jail.
I don't think the Spurs would want him. What exactly did he do? I recall they said in the playoffs last year he was helping the police? Was he actually helping them or was he being the one looked at for something?Quote:

J O'Neal would be sweet if his broke ass could play more than half a season.
Hoping for Martin.
Your letting one play characterize your evaluation of Splitter. Plus Fisher is one of the best floppers ever. Lebron also failed to post up JJ Barea (who's smaller than Fisher) in the Finals. Does that characterize him?Quote:

Blair is better and younger than turiaf in my opinion.
You either forgot about or neglected to mention Dorsey. He's basically a bigger, stronger Blair. Only unlike Blair, he's still an elite rebounder and he's actually a solid post defender too. He's not as skilled and he may not be Spurs material, but for the minimum and as a fifth big, they could do much worse.
Keith Benson carved up the Spurs' defense yesterday in SL. Did a lot of things the Spurs should want out of a mobile big man. I do think that if Richards shows just a little more in the next three games, he probably gets a roster spot for a season if he signs his tender and forces the issue.
A fan was stalking him, and then accused him of having kiddie porn on his computer.Quote:

Plus, he's turning 29 at the beginning of the season so it's not like he has untapped upside. Considering rebounding is one of this team's main strengths, I'd probably pass on him altogether, tbh.Quote:

He's not Spurs material, so I doubt they'd pursue him. As far as "rebounding is one of this team's main strengths", I think that's deceiving. They have one high level rebounder amongst their bigs and he only plays 28 mpg. Presuming they trade Blair (which is the point of this thread), they could use another big that rebounds at at least a respectable level.Quote:

It looks more and more that Rockets will waive Leuer. He doesn't play at all with their SL team. Unless he is injured, he should be waived before Thursday when his contract became guaranteed. Once waived, the big risk is that a team claims him from waivers because Spurs are very far on the waivers picking order. With the ruling on early bird rights being kept when someone is claim from waivers, this risk is even bigger.
Another name that pop up is Andray Blatche. He will likely be amnestied by Wizards. The min offer he could claim for is $3.7M over 3 years. That's not a lot of money but it's still some money and a lot of teams will be scared by all the red flags surrounding him. Blatche would be easily worth a gamble. If Pop can make him again a committed player, he would be a terrific addition for Spurs.
I'm still holding out hope for Tyrus Thomas. But Blatche fits what the Spurs want to do on the court. The only thing I would be worried about is how long Pop gives PT to Bonner before deciding to give Blatche a chance to develop.Quote:

It's a legitimate concern given the long leash Bonner has had for the last four years,especially early into the season. The question is how far into the season will he keep doing it.Quote:
