Yawn
Besides Duncan, Parker, and Manu, the Spurs have no one other teams give a about and we are old. Spurs only trade bate was Rasho....pathetic
Spurs trade Rasho, lose Nazr, and skip over Javtokus and Scola. Hope Duncan expects to get 30+pts 15+rbs a night. Spurs will be out rebounded about every game next season.
The bench is a joke and we will need big nights from the big 3 to win games because he can expect nothing from the rest
Yawn
WOW suprised they made it as far as they did with a injured duncan last year
Bowen should be added. He's invited to Team USA for Pete's sake.
Don't forget, the Spurs won the 2005 championship with only 4 carry-overs from the 2003 championship team. Tim, TP, Manu and Bruce.
Add in the pieces.
yup
and when was the last time a team won the le in the reg seaosn? ..................................exactly
Spurs were exposed by the Mavs: no depth, Duncan in the one man show down low, old
Spurs then go out and sign a 3rd string PG?
I sure he's been shopped around, but prob didn't get any quality back for him
hahahahaha, lame
yeah bowen and finley are trash
the season starts tomorrow
time has run out
06-07 spurs season = over
I'm not sure why you are freaking out.
You think Javtokas is so much better than Jackie Butler, or what's caused you to go off the deep end?
If the Spurs get Butler, I'll be happy.
Cuz the Spurs don't act like the Indianas and NO's, etc. of the NBA world and start wheeling and dealing because they think they have to because it's the offseason.
Hmmm, 3 all-stars and a perennial all-defensive first teamer? I'd take that over a group of mediocre "names."
I'm not sure that the Mavericks "exposed" anything other than that they were barely able to get past last year's Spurs team.
any people that trash bruce bowen and michael finley on here are stupid. if it werent for many of finley's clutch shots all season long, the spurs would not have won many games, and it werent for bowen, the top guards in the league would have dropped 50 points on us and we would have lost those games
the spurs dump $40 mil in salary commitments over the next 3 seasons and they can't find a way to bring in some real talent? butler's a nice prospect but it's looking like a step back this summer.
If I hear another dumbass whine about ing scola.....christ
Hey, on the bright side, we'll still win 55+ games
yeah im tired of hearing about Scola. who cares about him anyways, i never liked him. hes good but dont wanna see him in silver and black.
At the risk of sounding like a total Polyanna, the Spurs currently have a ton of potentially tradeable pieces. Trading someone like Rasho is a job of work because you have to find someone who (a) needs a center (b) thinks Rasho is a center (c) is willing to take on his contract (d) has something you'd want in return.
Now what we have is a bunch of parts and pieces with manageable contracts and mostly positive trade value. Williams -- expiring contract. Barry -- not a great contract, but a veteran who can definitely shoot for teams that need that. Beno -- cheap PG who can shoot. Rights to a couple of tradeable Euros. Oberto isn't worth much of anything, but he could be useful salary filler for a deal. Draft picks.
None of those pieces is worth a ton by itself, but you can put them together in a lot of different ways, so the next time a team is holding a fire sale for cap reasons or because a guy is a problem, there's a good chance that we can fit things together and build a deal.
Even if we can't work out a Troy Murphy deal right now, we still have until February to try to put together something that makes sense and can help us.
i'm aware they have those pieces. but to make use of them they have to be willing to take back long term contracts. otherwise, they're just likely to expire unused so the spurs can cut ever more payroll until holt sells the team
It is when he put up better numbers than the other two.
Apparantly you forgot that this guy is still on the team...
If we have tradeable pieces, then their cost is barely the same as their value. Barry and Udrih have some value as players, but practically everyone else on the roster, other than the Big 3, is valuable only as a contract.
That's pretty sad.
Well, I certainly can't prove that it's not a bid to sell the team. What the do I know about whether Holt's looking to sell?
But the alternative explanation is simply that they're only willing to carry salary if it's not dead weight. Przybilla was decent, but he's probably not the guy who is going to put us over the top, so you don't want to offer him more than you think he's worth. By contrast, Murphy would fit perfectly with this team -- he's worth far more to us than he would be to most teams -- so even if you pay a good sum of money for him, you expect to get it back on the court.
My gut feel is that the Spurs are willing to pay, but only for the right players. Of course, I can't prove that, so we'll just have to wait and see.
me too!
Besides Pippen/Jordan the Bulls had nothing.
we don't have a Pippen though, but we got the Jordan
maybe: Manu for Paul. P. or Tony for Paul P
I'm not the slightest bit concerned. The Spurs will piece together a nice roster, fly under the radar a bit, finish strong and kick ass and take names when it matters most, the playoffs. Duncan, Ginobili and probably Parker as well are all in their prime this year and next. Remember, Dallas got lucky to beat San Antonio in seven games due to Ginobili's last minute gaffes. I think they'll be find next season.
