With a roster like that, I think it'd be safe to say we'd have the deepest and probably best roster.
What? No Rasho?
Looks pretty on paper (or screen?) for sure....but that's five guys we'd have to sign with very limited fundage. You really think the Spurs could pull all these guys in with damn near minimum bids?

I was thinking the same. That wouldn't realistically happen.Quote:

That's LESS than 5 million commited salary.
You have to have 13 players min.Quote:

Dale Davis?
I doubt he signs here for Massenburg minutes when he could do something like back up Ilgauskas or the like.
Then replace him with another journeyman, does it even matter?Quote:

Dale is reportedly getting alot of interest; you're free to stick with it or come up with another journeyman.
So cruel regarding someone who started 70 games for the World Champions.Quote:

Sounds like a decent plan to me. Tell Buford to start putting in the bids.
Granted, it would only work if nobody else decides to throw more money at them (and they're not fond of that whole...winning thing). It would take a little good fortune, but good fortune never hurt anybody, right?
Otherwise it would be....bad fortune? :pctoss

I think it will be increasingly difficult to get any quality player for him, We can't afford to keep Rasho and Nazr, as it is we have already tried to give up the rights to Scola to trade him off. The other Gm's are chomping at the bits to get a good deal.Quote:

In all honesty, I'd like to see Rasho stay. I wasn't real keen on him when we picked him up, but seeing his defensive abilities in the paint over the past couple years swayed me over.
Unfortunately, it looks like he's going to get swept away under the same premise that sent Malik to New York. Good player....bad contract.
Trust me, I'll be upset if Rasho leaves. Even I've come to face the fact, however, that it's more than likely going to happen...at some point or another. :depressed
Fortunately, it's looking like that time might not be this offseason...since the very thing that is pushing him out of SA, is the same thing that is preventing other teams from reeling him in.

How is this for a deal? If the Spurs keep Rasho, I'll buy you a Mountain Dew!
Think happy thoughts! = )

....but those aren't good thoughts. I'm not doing a very good job. :oops
If Rasho stays, we'll go out for Mountain Dews together to celebrate!
And if the bad-thing-that-heretofore-shall-go-unnamed happens, I'll buy you a whole case of Mountain Dew to help cope with the depression. I'd hate to have to think of you being forced into Hawk Fandom just to keep up with your bo' :blah
I don't like it that much. As the Spurs fillout their roster, I'd like them to pick up a young, long small forward and a point guard. Evans, Sanders and Winston are all about 6'5. Not all that long. And none of them can play the point. So this roster doesn't thrill me.Quote:

The Spurs have a decent shot at Maurice Evans. Seattle is going after him too, but hopefully since he like S.A. already, he'll be partial. I think one of the three -- Evans, Sanders and Winston would be good. Plus a long 3 and a backup PG. And then a veteran big.
BTW .. I don't understand what you traded Rasho for (outside a bag of chips) in your scenario.

It's a dream that won't come true, but at least seems grounded in reality.
More than mine or just in general?Quote:

Chump - I didn't see Tommy Smith play in SL. Did he look decent? Is he coming off a back injury, or am I thinking of someone else?
Aw, come on guys. I was still holding out for Lebron.
Tommy Smith is an interesting suggestion. When I see him in the summer, it's hard to figure out how he's not in the NBA. Looking at his underdeveloped body, it might be a lack of work ethic ... but the guy is talented.
Noel Felix on the Spurs would be beyond sweet. He'd be a perfect fit. Probably won't happen but with Presti watching some of these WC qualifiers, you never know.
Smith's the one coming off the injury -- I actually saw very little of him, but he seemed to be moving ok. His stats seemed to back it up though he didn't get alot of pt. Maybe just wishful thinking, but hey -- this is the thread for that kind of thing.
As long as we are dreaming, I'll mention Theron Smith.

whatabout Britton Johnsen as a deep reserve, or at least a training camp 'maybe'?

Hm, that IS surprising. We've only got 10 players signed, and they say we're lacking room?
I know we've got a lot of big guys, but they can't fill two spots on the bench. :lol
Kind of a bummer. I'd be interested to see what that guy can do.
Hawks > Lakers. But much better Rasho on the Spurs than anywhere else. :DQuote:

Nazr/ Oberto/ Rasho
Tim/ Horry
Bowen/ Evans (or a young long 3 but I have no idea who that could be)
Gino/ Barry
Parker/ NVE/ Udrih
I would keep Rasho until Nazr is extended...
You guys need to drop the sarcasm and keep an open mind about dealing Rasho. Fritos, bean dip and an arizona green tea would work, as would Mr. Pibb, pork rinds and a can of beanie weenies. As an organization, I think we rely too much on Doritos (isn't that how we got Nazr?).Quote:
