um no.

I remember the first thread I started in ST was one asking the Spurs FO to sign Delfino and Herrmann for this season, if they'd have listen to me we wouldn't be ing about role player not showing up when it matters most. Now it's to late Carlos is winning a lot of money in Europe and I don't see him getting back to the NBA.

The Spurs screwed the chance of having a core of talented guys, that have great chemisrty playing toghether, coming off the bench. Imagine Manu, Delfino, Herrmann, Scola and Oberto coming off the bench to give Tony, Tim and company a breather. It may be the homer in me, but that sounds good.

5 argentine players coming for the bench. i agree it could be the homer in you

but the fact is that DOES sound good and we wouldn't have any problem of heart and fire with these role players. i would have liked too the spurs to explore a little more the argentine connection (not to talk about scola).

IIRC

Delfino was never known as a "clutch" player...

[ploto]

Raptors intend to try to get him back to Toronto.

I agree it was his homer part but think about this... the whole Argie squad as a second unit in the NBA? dude... they'd have had fun with 90% of the league's second units...

Neither Oberto, Herrmann or Scola or any other Argie outside Manu. But the fact remains that the bigger the game the better they play, or at least they don't drop their usual level.

P/S: What does IIRC mean?

[E20]

I'd die of laughter if the second unit for the Spurs was:

Ginobili
Delfino
Nocioni
Scola
Oberto

Thanks.

Is that a good or bad thing?

I think it's good, but funny at the same time.

I've always heard differently about Oberto.

I've heard time after time Oberto has always been a big game player.

[MmP]

Anyone? He's shown great improvement in his abilities, especially being a key player in Argentina's 2008 bronze medal.

I really admire Carlos game, he's a small version of Manu.

[Blackjack]

Not a big fan, but Toronto might be about to renounce his rights in order to sign Hedo.

[raspsa]

I'd rather have Nocioni.

[ploto]

They may still be able to do a S&T with Orlando or depending on where the cap comes in still get Carlos and Hedo.

[scottspurs]

No problem if he signs for the LLE one or two years.

[Chieflion]

The San Argentinian Spurs sound pretty good to me.

[wildbill2u]

Somebody tell us why he went to Europe to play.

buyout: 500k

[Marcus Bryant]

If the Spurs deal Mason, Delfino wouldn't be bad for the bench.

[Hemotivo]

he's making almost 8million but maybe he's tired of playing in Russia
