i still don't understand why people keep mentioning 2010. things will have deteriorated so much in two years that cap space in 2010 won't mean . this team is done.
sounds like a spurstalk guy...haha
TrueHoop reader Tim watches the Spurs like a cat watches a mouse.
And at the moment it's making him feel a little queasy.
They didn't repeat as they had hoped, and seem to have a need to find some young studs to make things happen with Tim Duncan. But so far the off-season has seen the loss of would-be young studs Tiago Splitter and James Gist, a lack of promise from would-be young stud Ian Mahinmi, the departure of Brent Barry, and a few little moves, for instance bringing in Roger Mason Jr.
Tim e-mails:
The entire summer has been perplexing, and disappointing on many levels. Really, don't get me started. Okay, since you asked ...
-The Tiago Splitter miscalculation
-George Hill rather than Mario Chalmers, Darrell Arthur or Chris Douglas-Roberts
-Malik Hairston rather than Bill Walker or Richard Hendrix
-James Gist, possible late draft steal, goes to Italy
-Ian Mahinmi is not looking ready
-Brent Barry goes to Houston
-They didn't get in on the Renaldo Balkman giveaway even though they have a hole at the wing.
-Anthony Tolliver?!? Nothing against him, but unless the Spurs move Matt Bonner I don't see the logic.
-Jannero Pargo -- again he's a fine bench guy and all, but the Spurs just drafted a point.
This whole marching to the beat of your own drummer thing has its drawbacks.
Three good things: Roger Mason Jr. is an upgrade over Michael Finley, Kurt Thomas was signed on the cheap, and the Spurs have not affected their 2010 cap space, which is significant. ...
Probable roster as of training camp:
Parker/Pargo/Vaughn/Hill
Mason Jr./Ginobli/Finley(?)
Bowen/Udoka
Duncan/Tolliver/Bonner/Mahinmi
Oberto/Thomas
Weird, huh? Things are not balanced, and I suspect a small trade involving Vaughn and Bonner is in the works. I'd like Vaughn and Bonner to Miami in a sign and trade for Dorell Wright (the Heat just signed his replacement in Yakhouba Diawara, and already have Shawn Marion, Udonis Haslem, Michael Beasley and James Jones as forwards) but this isn't fantasy sports. Or, perhaps, they'll deal Hill for something if/when they sign Pargo -- the only two teams that are reportedly interested in him are Los Angelas and Boston, so that's highly doubtful.
Anyway, those are my ramblin' blues. If you can figure Pop out, let me know.

He copied all that from here.
free agent market, we will go after a big name
wheres los angelas
I read somewhere that you have a better chance of getting struck lightning than the Spurs picking up a "big name" player. True story.
If the Spurs have a bad year this year, then obviously the pressure to win in 2010 will be off the charts. If Major changes need to be made in the FO, then make them and do whatever it takes to see to it, that what is left of Duncan's career is not wasted.
adiós hit the road then
ok...which spurstalk guy submitted that email?
Yup...lets have it. C'mon now, fess up....
wow. I am not worried we haven't made a "big move". We still have 3 big names. our biggest move for next year's playoffs we be to stay healthy.
which already isn't looking good due to Manu playing in the Olympics and another horrid March.
When you have Manu Ginobili, Tony Parker, and Tim Duncan on your team you don't need to make big moves. You just need health.
somebody is going to have to explain to me why Tolliver & Bonner are necessarily redundant.
evidently, you're only allowed to have 1 big man with a jumpshot?
Spur fans have the right to be worried. I don't mean missing the playoffs worried, but a 48-52 win season could very well happen.
"Spurs Fans:Idiots"
thank you laker fan
I wouldnt say Im nervous. I think the FO has made alot of questionable moves or lack of moves.
Hill in the draft odd, and the fact he is yet to sign even more odd. Gist praised and looking like a guy who could really help of the bench, and defend the tweeners that kill us every yr, sent to Italy?
Hairston I never thought looked like an NBA player, didnt even look like a D1 player and we picked him over some other guys I think are gonna be good role players.
Splitter think could not be helped, he was a great pick where they got him but losing him hurts.
Not addressing the lack of athletes on the wing, a move that has burned us before.
Not looking to add a true Center to the roster, a shot blocker rebounder guy....big mistake. If the spurs wanna be the dominate defensive team for the early le yrs we need a good 7 footer.
Pargo would be a nice pick up but come on he would have signed if he wanted to come, he is using the spurs as leverage.
Letting berry get away, a mistake for sure. When you have a good big man shooters are esential.
I dont think Pops and RC know whats going on. They are worried about 2010 more than 2008-2009.
Explain me this: What is the importance of the 2010 season? Why everybody talking about creating space for this season????????? Why 2010 and not now?
because 2010 is the offseason where lebron, wade, and bosh will be FA.
Nearly all of the role players contracts dont come off the books until 2010.
A chance to land a big star, or if not, alot of room to start a new era around TP and TD
and around Manu,,,you left Manu out? Manu is the enery of us !!!!!!! GINOBILIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII,,,,,our white Jordan !
