PATFO were looking for a ball handler rather than a scorer & McCaw is somewhat like Will Barton.Quote:

Spurs talk in 2003
Is this a hindsight 20/20 thing or did alot of ppl actually have McCaw projected to go earlier then he was drafted?
Dude will fold when facing real competition

Livingston: Duds have his Bird Rights & should be more in their price range than Iggy
Giannis: Ain't going anywhere
Jrue is actually a possibility if the Pelicans want to move on from him ala Eric Gordon/Ryan Anderson & Darren Collison is a guy that could work as a backup if he doesn't end up in prison.:lol
ReDick: Last chance to cash in after being underpaid his entire career ala Conley (would have to over pay for a 33 yr old)Quote:

....I would say someone like Korver is more likely since he's at the end of his career & will be ring chasing
Casspi as a backup PF would also be interesting if Bertans isn't fit for the job considering that Casspi won't most likely re-sign w/ the Kings & has been a journey man like Marco.
He was a good as Ryan Anderson last season (same WS/48, better VORP/BPM/TS%/ORtg/DRtg): http://bkref.com/tiny/SmoH3Quote:
Word is Knicks/Spurs still hot for Casspi and checked in to see if they could wedge their way into last trade fun of 2010-11. But … Cavs told ’em they traded for Casspi with intent to keep him. GM Chris Grant says Cavs have liked Casspi since Kings drafted him in 2009
:lol I love when sports fans try to judge players before they have even played a single professional game, tbh..
^ Yeah. In addition, it ignores where the players in question are at in their development and the Spurs are at as a franchise and what they need moving forward. They're no longer at the stage where trying to find a high floor, low ceiling type makes sense. They need high ceiling types, even if they come with a low floor (which is inevitable when you pick late 20's virtually every year).
It was time to swing for the fences. I don't even care if McCaw goes on to be a good backup and Murray is out of the league in 3-5 years. I'd rather see if the latter can become a starter or sixth man.
:lol
McCaw would have been nothing but a footnote in this franchise's history.
Dejounte could add a page, or two, before it's all said and done.
Lol, McCaw.
DPG, c'mon man.
Just because the Logo ( J. West ) says so , doesnt make it a sure thing . All I have seen him do is talk the league into letting him sign whoever he want's regardless of of the rules or money . I seem to remember him being able to get Pau even though no one else knew he was available for the Lakers !!! Also remember Pop saying something to the effect that pop wished he had known that Pau was even available back then !!!Quote:

Have a look at McCaw in the game he's about to play.
Which brainless fucker wanted the Duncan for Ostertag trade? At that point in time Duncan was already all round while Ostertag's ceiling was very obvious..... No hindsight required
Seriously there are some stupid inbreds here
Murray's upside is ridiculous. Has good physical tools and feel for the game, things you cant teach. If he wants it bad enough he'll be a really good player
Watch GS highlight McCaw in blowouts next year and then West trade him and his RFA rights in the off season for a good draft pick. GS was smart on this, a lot smarter than SA,especially since the Spurs had the kid in for a try out. They should be more aggressive.Quote:

Don't know how much we'll see of Murray this season but he seems competitive and wants to play in the RS. He makes bad decisions and can't shoot right now. Both are fixable but take time.
McCaw was a steal and 29 other teams may be banging their heads not just Spurs. Murray may yet emerge to be a better or at least a comparable player if he learns how to shoot.
It's obvious Spurs wanted and needed a PG prospect. The Murray project is not done, barely getting started.
Good news is that McCaw is on a two year contract and not a whiff of salary cap room to re-sign him. He could make a nice replacement for Green in a couple of years.
