Avery did a very nice job for us for several years.
Terry was brought in to make shots and back up Avery. It didn't work out the way we wanted (i.e., a title), but he did a good job.

The others ... yeah, we had garbage for PGs for alot of years.

A major move needs to happen. Spurs should consider Zack Randolph.

Only untouchables = Duncan, Ginobili, Finley, Bowen

Parker has been disappearing so often that the "oh he's so young" arguement will only work for so long.

Well, well, well, . . . Spurs ran out of gas in OT. Congrats to Avery Johnson.

Ian Mahinmi will be in summer league so I guess we'll see what this young fella has to offer. I think this guy will be in training camp because of his youth, athleticism, and surprising defense and rebounding skills. He'll get points on effort plays.

Ian Mahinmi
Birthdate: 11/5/86
NBA Position: PF/C
Ht: 6-11
Wt: 230
Hometown: Rouen, France

Spurs should try to acquire J. R. Smith to get the youth movement into full swing. The change will be refreshing and helpful for this guys career and frame of mind.

J. R. Smith
Position: G
Birthdate: 9/9/1985
Height: 6-6 / 1,98
Weight: 220 lbs. / 99,8 kg.
High School : St. Benedict's Prep (Newark, NJ)

Many believe that Robertas Javtokas will be brought in an effort to strengthen the Spurs front line. Only if he brings toughness, rebounding, and defense with some semblence of an offensive game. Namely a shot from 12 foot on in. Others have said he possesses some athletic skills, I hope that he does; Spurs do not need any more sluggs at the C spot.

Robertas Javtokas
Birthdate: 3/20/1980
Position: Center
Height: 6' 11"
Weight: 205 lbs.
College: Lithuania (Foreign)

The much talked about Luis Scola has been mentioned by other posters as good trade bait for some prooven NBA big or draft pick. I think Spurs will explore their options now that smallball seems to be the rave of the new NBA. Scola has some offensive skills, it is his quickness, size and rebounding that may be cause for apprehension.

Luis Scola
Birthdate: 4/30/80
NBA Position: PF
Ht: 6-9
Wt: 230
Hometown: Buenos Aires, Argentina

Viktor Sanikidze will also play in summer league, hopefull he has a great perimeter game to offer the Spurs in this new NBA era. We can only hope this guy can play defense.

Full Name: Viktor Sanikidze
Born: 04/01/86
Position: SF
Height: 6' 8"
Weight: 196 lbs.
Hometown: Tbilisi, Georgia

Spurs should blow up the team and keep the big 3 (TD, Manu, TP) and perhaps 1 or 2 vets, all others MUST go. Now that's just my take on it; but, . . . stay tuned. :fro

No. You can trade player after your last regular season or your last playoff game.
We can trade Barry tomorrow but :
- not with a team that still play in the playoff.
- not for a player that can be a free agent this summer.

I have been an anti tony parker person, because parker has been inconsitant.
However, parker was proping up this team the regualr season not duncan. Timmy didn't start playing good till playing kings. And timmy missed some freethrows and shots in this game. Doesn;t mean we trade him because he cost us the game

Um...did you guys watch a different game than me or something?


Tony Parker played his ass off and his double team help on Dirk was one of the reasons we got back in the game.


Let's see...

Tony scored 24 points on 9-18 shooting...he was 6-6 from the FT line...he had 4 reboiunds 5 asssists, 1 steal, 1 block and 1 turnover...


Exactly why are we trading him again? You humoungous collection of dumfucks?

Parker-
All summer long, work like hell on your jumper and the 3.
Work on your court vision game.
You'll be even better next year.

Manu
Heal up real good, get some rest, a short haircut, be angry about this loss and come back with a vengeance. Practice a fast paced offense with Parker thru the summer. You guys need to be the best guard tandem in the league next year.
That is very possible.

Bruce
Keep training cuz you are getting older, don't lose a step, keep practicing your offense.

Tim
Heal up, and come back for an MVP year.
I think Tim should practice a little with Tony and Manu thru the summer.

Finley
Great playoffs. Come back and let's get it next year.
As a matter of fact, spend some time with Tony, Tim and Manu

Rest of team- GET YOUNGER and make sure we still have shooters.
Younger, younger, younger, able to play defense shooters.

And get a damn real Center. Either play Rasho and lite a fire in his ass and get some rebounding good bigmen somehow. I want Twin Tower defense back!

Try and bring a real awesome offensive minded assistant coach in.

I'm no expert, just a couple of thoughts.

We need to be able to come back next year younger but still have veterans and good shooters, be able to run like Pheonix and Dallas and also play halfcourt, while playing Championship Defense WITH OUR BIGS.

And for the whole team- Practice free throws.

And finally FUCK THE REFS and Go Detroit!

My bad, Bruno. The end of the Finals usually IS our last playoff game. :lol

you guys are retarded seriously you are! Tony didn't choke. He didn't disappear like 03 either, he played the entire game almost and was key to our success. Now stop hijacking this thread with this BS, this is about how quickly will be able to make trades, mainly brent barry.

I could give a flying flip about next year. Screw next year.

Trading Parker would be an option if a team offered a player who can deliver when they need them too.

Say, for example, if by some reason New Jersey offers Vince Carter for Parker and someone else? You take it.

Parker is not untouchable. The only TRUE untouchable is Duncan, but you need to keep him, Bowen, Finley, and Ginobili.

I truly think they need to go after Zack Randolph, he's an all-star level player and is an actual big man who isn't completely terrible.

Spurs lack of depth upfront is why they lost this year. Diop outplayed all of the Spurs other centers, pathetic.

I've always liked Randolph. Is he a FA this summer? I would love to have him in the middle with Timmy.

Brent didn't exactly up his trade status tonight with his performance...


Sorry Gerry...I had Barry's back all year last year...but he was ass in this series...I think he averaged about 4 TO's per game....

With the Tim, Manu, Tony core we will be in contention for a Title in 07'. So we're not too worried about blowing it up.

Manu - get healthy, train over summer, you did a lot of good for us this series and kept us in
Tim - get healthy, relax, you gave the effort we needed. Play like an MVP next season and put the Steve Nash reign to shame.

Tony - get your Jumper up to SCRATCH, Watch How Steve NASH PLays and ALternates between knowing when TO SCORE, and WHEN TO PASS, add those dimensions guy...Too many unreliable jumpers put us in holes. Other than, that relax, get healthy.

Finley - Stay classy. Stay on and play for this team.

Horry - don't get too old, you still have one more Killer 3 to cap off your career

Barry --trade him for younger legs, he used up our last piece of luck with that barry bouncer--we need a shooter, but your head isn't in this so get outta here. You make us weaker.

Bowen --keep, we need him to train an apprentice for the long run

Nazr--- replace his ass with someone RELIABLE

Sign Scola as a helping BIG---I know others aren't sure and want him to be traded for someone in the league, but I believe this guy can really come through for us. If there's anything I'd not doubt, is seeing more Manus on the Team.

Sign/Trade for More shooters/athletic youths like J.R. Smith.

Rasho - Whatever...he's a backup center. That is all.

I still would like to look at Pryzbilla from Portland. Great rebounder and shot blocker.
If he could learn defensive rotation I think he would be a helluva pick-up.
Unless he signed an extension that I don't know about.

Tony's probably going to spend the next couple of days iced down. His best days are still ahead, so relax.

Unless Sequ suddenly is our new coach, we wouldn't do it.

Post less...read more.

I say we trade Sean Marks and Fabricio to get 2 first round picks and take Adam Morrison and JJ Redick ;) lol


...hell i dunno what needs to be done...

Half man, Half a season? WTF? You think parker shoots to much wait till carter jacks up 40 shots in a game, please. We have a solid core we just need to patch some holes and bring in some young talent.
