Re: Hakim Warrick to Join Spurs Training Camp
Did he even play last season? If we get ride of Errors he would be a big upgrade from him but if we are keeping Errors then no.

:lol I know that he refused to sign that letter saying he wasn't coming over this year. Morey is a dumb shit if he didn't find that out in advance.

Re: Hakim Warrick to Join Spurs Training Camp

Agreed, its Baynes insurance.

Re: Hakim Warrick to Join Spurs Training Camp
An athletic american black player that can dunk, the wet dream of most of the st posters. But at 32, a monkeyballer probably at the same stage that Duncan will be at 42.

Warrick. It's just a workout.
Sounds more like a Josh Howard/Raja Bell type deal than anything else.

Re: Hakim Warrick to Join Spurs Training Camp
He was invited for a workout. That's not even a camp invite. Could just as easily be the Spurs getting Warrick's name out there to help him revive his career. They've done that before.

Re: Hakim Warrick to Join Spurs Training Camp
Another big man. It's strange. Back when the Spurs had terrible depth at the four and five, Pop couldn't get enough of bringing in small guards. Now that the team actually needs a guard, he's bringing in a bunch of bigs. And this whole time, Kawhi STILL doesn't have a viable backup who isn't starting next to him.
Spurs crazy, yo.

Re: Hakim Warrick to Join Spurs Training Camp
Team "needs" aren't much of anything at this mioment.
No one being brought in is expected to make the team. Just pencil all the invites onto the Toros roster.

Re: Hakim Warrick to Join Spurs Training Camp
i always liked warrick, but for some reason it feels like he hasn't played basketball in 4 years... so i'm not sure how i feel about this. i'd rather just hear the news that baynes has accepted his QO

He had a mid range game and could score around the basket. Other than that he does nothing else. Defensively, Warrick is completely useless and doesn't provide much on the boards.

Re: Hakim Warrick to Join Spurs Training Camp
One of the worst defenders in the league in his prime. Imagine, now.

Not too interested then if he is as poor as you say that he is on defense.
Also, Sept. 1st is nowhere near training camp. That's not a training camp invite. I'm pretty sure the Spurs did something similar with other players last off season. Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I recall them working out James Johnson last off season and he wasn't signed or even invited to training camp.

Save for the athleticism, he's the total opposite of Stromile Swift

Re: Hakim Warrick to Join Spurs Training Camp
Is he the one Charles Barkley compared to a deer?

Re: Hakim Warrick to Join Spurs Training Camp
He looks like Ayres in those highlights

I don't know much about either player. What are their best attributes? What areas are they opposite in?

offense/defense. Swift is an athletic shot-blocker while Warrick has 0 defense but has a better offensive game than most big men.

Thanks, appreciate it.
So if the Spurs are looking at Warrick, it seems they're looking at offense. How about defense? I wonder, does Pop still value defense more than offense or has he moved towards offense as a bigger priority?
