yes we should give up on him ... he's not athletic enough to play in the NBA and we might get something decent in return

After a promising rookie season it's been downhill for Boy Beno since the end of the 3rd quarter in Game 4 of the '05 Finals. Pop seems to have lost any confidence he ever had in Udrih's game. Ideally, Beno finds himself this summer and takes that backup point spot for good next season. The Spurs would be better off focusing their offseason efforts at other spots. But the question mark remains on his game. Is it time to give up on him?

Problem is, who is your backup point? NVE is retired.
I think Pop already ruined his confidence.
Pop's ridden young players before. Pop's pulled guys before in the postseason (TP in '03, for example). All they need is 15 minutes a night from Beno. Nothing more, nothing less.
If we can get Speedy, I wouldn't mind getting rid of Beno. Otherwise, we definitely need a back-up PG, which Beno can do for a few minutes a night.
3rd string.
If he's anything higher than that, we're in a bad spot. He doesn't bring anything defensively to the table, and he gets intimidated on offense. Get rid of him, or keep him cheap at 3rd string. ing pansy.
Bless.
If Speedy comes back, we're set.
Beno sucks.
If the Spurs went with Udrih as their backup point next season then that would simplify things this summer. The MLE would be freed up to go after the ever elusive long 3 or Scola and the LLE could go to Javtokas.
Javtokas is a scrub. Udrih is a cheap 3rd string PG, Spurs need a better backup PG.
Spurs seem to think otherwise in re Javtokas.
I'm starting to think a backup PG (read: Speedy) would be a better investment.
Then your MLE is gone and you've done nothing to address the 3 spot.
But is the 3 spot that big of a concern?
I think backup PG is a spot we NEED to sure up...if TP keeps choking at this rate.
Name the small forwards on the Spurs' roster.
Guys who can guard that position...
+Manu
+Bowen
+Finley
+Horry
+Barry (ok maybe not GUARD)
Those are the few that come to mind.
Ok now your turn. Name the backup PG's that don't suck.
i think benos soul was sold in bone thugs n harmony - crossroads....

Other than Bowen they don't really have anyone, especially a young guy ready to take over. They also have no size whatsoever at that spot. I also don't care how well Bowen maintains his conditioning, he's 35 this summer.
The only upside to Beno is his youth.
He has shown nothing for us to keep him.
That's true. But I think we have a good 2-3 seasons left from Bowen.
Remember how much we're paying him, little to nothing. We need a solid backup PG (which might cost a bit) and we can worry about replacing Bowen later.
I'm 21.
I'll be sure to email the Spurs. I'm right-handed though. =(
The problem for the Spurs back-up point guard will always be that this person plays such few minutes. No one wants to come here and play 10 mintes a night except an old veteran who has done his time and wants to win a championship. A young player wants to get onto the court and get some experiece. Also, the Spurs will not justify spending Speedy-type money on a guy who plays so few minutes. I have proposed all along the use of Brent as the back-up point guard and he does double-duty as the fourth swing man, in case Manu or someone else gets hurt or there is foul trouble. You "justify" his salary because he fills two needs with one player.
I adore Beno but for his development it might be better for him to go elsewhere where he will get onto the court. The guy is the best passer on the team and really knows how to run an offense, given the opportunity. One season as the third string point guard was OK, but if the Spurs are not going to play him this year, they need to trade him somewhere where he can get some playing time.
The problem for Beno is not running an offense it is playing in pressure situations.
brent barry can do the job
