When you have the ability to add someone with the ability of jordan, grant hill for the vet min or the MLE you do it.. It makes the spurs more athletic. It is great to get these superstar vets insted of scrub vets. This is like adding kobe without having to trade manu (which i woud do) and without the assosated problemns with kobe. grant hill is a superstar with class the perfect fit for the spurs.
It's amazing how people want to complain about something.
You can't bitch about Spurs season because Spurs win it all.
You can't bitch about Spurs draft because Spurs draft was really solid (what would have been ST if Spurs had decided to sold their pick for cash like Suns :lol )
So you bitch about the FA period that has barely started. :rolleyes
Maybe Spurs will do bad moves/nothing this offseason, Maybe not. At least, wait to see what will happen this summer before going in "the end of the world" mode. It's pathetic to see people bitching about the future while they have no clue about what will happen.
Except for the fact we still don't know that they can beat Dallas.Quote:

Did he make a contribution in the Phx
he single handled suspended two suns players
Yet he shot 52% FG this season- higher than Manu, Brent, Bruce, and Finley.Quote:

What are they going to do?
Reel in nearly 70 wins, have their star win the MVP award, and make everyone believe they are going to be unstoppable come playoff time?
Oh wait, they already did, and choked in the 1st round.
Nobody will fear them....nobody will respect what they do in the regular season serious.....it's not like they are SA where they can struggle throughout the season and turn it on come playoff time.
Dallas is no longer a concern in my eyes.
Our biggest weakness is beating ourselves, and thats exactly what we did in game 7 of the WCF when we played Dallas....via that Manu foul.
I suppose this is your pathetic attempt to question my intelligence, but sorry, that boat doesn't float, especially coming from an Aggie. I would be more than happy to compare GPA's, SAT's, GRE's or IQ's with anyone here.Quote:

All the women here are members of the Menses Society- unless anyone is post-menopausal. :lolQuote:

There is no question that Hill is a quality person and "team" kind of guy, but his window is closed and locked. He still has one of the sweetest mid range jumpers in the game but he's too slow now to create his own shot. I'm not saying that he couldn't score 15 a game for the Spurs in 30 minutes running him off picks and screens, but with the defensive attention that Duncan requires that could be said of a lot of players in the game. His 3 point shot is pathetic. His assist/turnover ratio is 1/1.
Thank you but no thank you. Hill needs to go back to Detroit where he came from and play out his career and get his jersey hung in the rafters when he retires. Hill was a joy to watch in Detroit before he broke his foot but he is just a shell of that former player now.
Yes, most meet on a monthly basis. Then there are the bitter few that do it daily.Quote:

yup

watch the games poindexter and you'd learn he was VERY big in helping win.
Jackass.
If Hill was a racehorse they would have already put him down.
I'm not too worried about Hill to Phoenix. Phoenix's pick and roll is so deadly because they spread the floor with three point shooters. Hill would be a player that you can help off of.
Plus it'd take a miracle for him to stay healthy all season.
I think Hill fits best with SA and Detroit.....Phoenix's style makes no sense to have him
If I'm Hill, I sign with the Spurs because I'd trust Pop to put me on the Robert Horry plan to save my ankle for the playoffs.
But if I'm the Spurs, I hesitate signing him. He's not a fantastic fit and the team is already full of veteran wings. Perhaps if a trade is made that lessens the wing rotation, things could change.
I know I've been dogging Hill but I can really see him coming to SA now that Babby has put the ball in the Spurs court by saying that "financial considerations are low on his priority list". Hill may have some serious holes in his game now but he is still a zone buster and it would be hard to say no if he would take a vet minimum contract.
Everyone seems to be ignoring Detroit but a few days ago the rumor was that he wanted to go back there.
Finley was a darkhorse coming to SA rightt up until the surprising decison to sign here. Who knows where he'll go but Pop is a pretty amazing salesman. And there are a bunch of vets with rings in his portfolio.
I don't understand bringing Hill in when the Spurs already have their quota of slowing veterans who at least have the advantage of knowing the Spurs system. It wouldn't be until Hill's second year to mesh with the Spurs. Also, the Spurs need some balance with younger players else it will be 2001 all over again with aging vets falling down, but slow to get up.
What younger players that are available should they sign? :rolleyesQuote:
