Anybody, my point was. Pop has this arrogance about older players. Mahinmi was more to the the issue: why didn't he get more time? How could forgoing five games in the NBDL for spot minutes in the NBA hurt his development?
I don't have specific names really but other teams get a 2nd rounder and give them a chance at least. I know 2nd rounders do not pan out very often but it happens. Or you luck out and find someone who was undrafted and makes a difference on a team. I'd just like to see them draft someone in the 1st round that won't be stuck overseas for years or be stuck to the bench simply because he's a rookie.Quote:

Unfortunately the Spurs will likely have to use their two 2nd rounders this year to unload Bonner.
Pop does not play rookies. He would rather use them as trade bait for more veterans.
This is just the way it is, and it's going to be until around 2011-12 when TD retires and Pop does too.
Deal with it.
Why so antagonistic? Why so mopey, my beloved imbecile? Clearly we were talking about third string point guards.Quote:

Parker was a rookie in 2001 and became the starter.
So once again.....
I think we can all agree that the best Spurs teams were the ones that successfully mixed savvy veterans along with athletic young players around the big stars.
When we've lost, the rosters were glaringly old.
Two players developed in a 7 year time span. You just made my point.Quote:

Ian mahinmi i am very disappointed in his development seriously
look at dwight howard who had a skinny frame when he was drafted, spent the summer bulking up to 260+ pure muscle...dude uses his athleticism to his advantage and the big body.
bynum is another example, who spent time with KAJ and improved his low post game....
Dude, go work for Fox News. You must have a databank of the most niggling absurd details. Either that or you use too many of your meager supply of braincells memorizing this stuff. I can imagine you in your parents' basement going over your carefully ledgered quotes. 'Aha! Got him! Where's that one about SpursFanInDallas? Here it is! He once said Fabrico instead of Fabricio! HAW HAW!'Quote:

He is talent player and has good potentials. But base on how he perform this year in Greek league he is VERY far from be ready for NBA level. He needs few years of learn game in Europe.Quote:

I said in the other thread I don't see his coming back. I guess there is a remote possibility, but I think he might have stayed in Austin had he thought there was a good chance of his being called up by the Spurs again after being waived. Of course the money was better in Greece too, so my answer can't be definitive.
you're talking about high draft/lottery picks. I guess it's good you're still not hyping beno as better than TP though.Quote:

You think if the this year's Spurs team had to go through; Nuggets, Suns, Jazz, and Cavs they couldn't do it?
The rest of the league got about 10 times better last offseason, while the Spurs gambled with what they had, adding a few pieces here or there that haven't really been useful in this series.
Thank you, 1Parker1.
Your posts demonstrate an objective thought process.
Ehhh. I don't TOTALLY 100% agree with the Suns in the second round was easy, but, agree to disagree.Quote:
