If it got to the point where we NEEDED to use Sharrod Ford, things are either going really bad, or really good, he would not have made a difference either way. At the most, I expected the spurs to keep a couple of guys and send 'em to the D-league. Lets not forget, I'm sure the the Spurs have kept their eye on other preseason games, there may be somebody out there that they like more.
I think there are underlying issues here for Spurs fans.......I think some ppl are looking for a "replacement Devin" to root for. Marks somehow does not fulfill that need, no knock on Marks intended. Maybe it's just me, but I cringe when I see him because he reminds me of the worst movie I have ever seen.
actually the only one that looked good was Ford, the other two never looked good.Quote:

I was not that impressed with anyone except Sanders, up until the Knicks game. His defense was so-so, he went 0-fer from the field and he did a no-no by leaving the corner when TP penetrated, creating a TO by TP in the closing minute to allow the Knicks to pull out a W after trailing the entire game.
This isn't about saving dollars. They'll just sign a 14th guy somewhere down the line that the Spurs think will help them more (my opinion).
Actually, it's pretty good to be a Spurs Fan. Would be even better if we had an owner who wasn't cutting corners when this team is at the top of the league.

Sorry man, I could give two shits about how much extra $ Holt Cat and friends end up with. I'm a basketball fan.
So do the spurs go into the season without having an Injured Reserve??? wtf?
So cutting corners = multi-year deal for Finley and signing NVE?Quote:

Stupid me, Holt's cheap unless he drops two million on IR/NBADL fodder so you can get your rocks off about the "potential" of the 14th man.
Fuck man, wake up. The team is over the cap and they went out and signed Finley and NVE. Of course with Devin's cum all over your chin you would get upset about losing a marginal role player with a bad back, and increase your whining today over three other marginal Devin Brown wannabes.
Get over it.
Cheap is letting talent go for nothing because you are worried about forgoing a little bit of the lux tax distributions. Yeah, they signed NVE and Finley. For what, $3 mil combined? Neither is exactly that young. The Spurs aren't going to be finding a Finley falling into their lap every offseason.
The Spurs' window is the next 3 seasons. Their perimeter rotation and depth is glaringly old. Management and the coaching staff have shown an ability to find and develop solid role players out of young, nondescript free agents. But that doesn't happen overnight.
They've already given up Brown for nothing. As much as Spurs fans would like to delude themselves, the difference between Brown and Finley is not that great in the Spurs' system. At a minimum you've lost a solid young talent who could give you heavy minutes today in the perimeter rotation. Why? None other reason than to save what is a pittance in the NBA.
Again, who cares about seeing Holt Cat et al make a few extra bucks? As a fan of the team don't you want good basketball decisions? Letting talent go at a cheap price is not a great move.
And finally, it's the management team that has put the Spurs in a good position, not ownership. Some of you are confusing the two. Holt Cat's done well when he's left well alone.
Marcus Bryant is making a good point..
It disgusts me to know that this is most likely THE best spurs team that will ever be formed, EVER, and to be cutting corners is such pussy shit, it just totally disgusts me
So, i asked a question earlier, do the spurs just start the season with no IR, or do they sign even cheaper talent?
I'm sure naysayers here will gladly buy the team and run it the way they'd like. It's always easy spending other people's money. It's like you're all Republicans or something.Quote:

Sure, we're fans, not the team's budget director.
Repubs? Well, the White House was sailing along smoothly once upon a time...
IR still exists. The rules for its use have changed though.
Difference isn't that great? One guy can fill it up off the bench. The other guy could be retiring in two years time with a bad back. Damn the Spurs for thinking with their brains instead of jonesing for the fan favorite at the end of the bench.Quote:

It's not saving when you don't even know if the guy is going to be able to walk without a cane two years from now.
As for "throwing away talent for nothing", I assume you mean the three swingmen scrubs cut today? Those types are a dime a dozen in the NBA, maybe the Spurs didn't like what they saw?
Oh wait, the great Marcus Cryant knows more of NBA talent than this team's player development staff. :rolleyes
Now it's more likely that Rasho/Nazr is gone sooner than later.
You hope Finley fits in. That's not a given. Devin didn't have a problem scoring points in the Spurs' offense. Coming off the bench and having limited touches is a different animal for Finley. We'll see how he reacts.Quote:

Yeah, it's always been easy for the Spurs to land quality swingmen.Quote:

No. Just more than you.Quote:

And it wasn't a management decision to let him go. It was an ownership decision.
Spurs will signed two players before the first game on Tuesday,so everyone stop WHINING
Sorry, this makes no sense.Quote:

Without fans, ownership doesn't have a business. Time for another analogy.
Why does everyone always say that holt is so cheap i mean this is the same guy that gave Timmy the max and overpaid for both Tony and Rasho. Who the hell else was going to give Tony 60 plus million bucks.

Hmmm...a 22 year old top 10 point with 3 years' of starting experience and playoff experience. Yeah, there would've been some teams interested in him if he had hit the open market. Probably not max money but definitely more than what the Spurs were able to extend him for. I recall how Pop had to go public on Good Hands to get him to do the obvious.
I SMELL A TRADE, PROBABLY BEFORE XMAS- and IMO it won't effect MrQuote:

I have no idea who will be traded, but I guess Raso/or Brent B.
