    Could be. Remeber Nazr was one of the worst defensive centers in the league when he arrived too.

    Bonner acquisition is fine, but the idea that he'd be a starter next year for the Spurs would leave me far less than enthusiatic about the quality level of the Spurs' bigs.

    Oh, really? So defense in Minesotta in those zone coocoo schemes was all the genius of... Garnett? Brandon? Saunders?

    Rasho was always credited as coaches guy on the court.

    hes a bad defender period. if you are relying on him to help get the spurs another le then you are nuts. he is not a starter in this league at all.

    The E-N article says they aren't looking for Javtokas to start.

    No one is relying on him. He'll be a role player who will spread the floor.

    , we might as well add KG, iverson, artest and big ben. i feel like you turned the 'salary cap' option off on nba live.

    Javtokas isn't starting. Horry isn't going to start. Oberto doesn't really give you enough spacing to use him as a starter. Nazr is all but gone.

    Hmmmmm...

    I don't think Bonner will start either.

    I think they are still looking for that starter to play alongside Tim. Hopefully he comes by trading Barry or sign-and-trading Nazr.

    Spurs might pe ion to play four on four to start games.

    I'm a bit puzzled about where this leaves the starting line-up. They don't expect to start Javtokas, but eventually might/should.

    Oh, and acquiring Tyson Chandler, even if it were possible, would be a big mistake. The guy has a contract out the wazoo.

    Is Chandler honestly a viable option for us?

    Getting Chandler would be a horrible move.

    Very horrible. Chicago has to be wishing they didn't dump such a contract on him. That'll hurt for years.

    At least he does rebound fairly well. Just looking at his stats, he picks up 3.8 fouls in 26.8 minutes, shoots free throws very poorly, etc, on top of being very expensive. Sheesh.

    I noticed this in Chad Ford's article on ESPN.

    Neither center played much in the second-round series against Dallas, which the Spurs lost in seven games. Coach Gregg Popovich used a smaller lineup with forward Robert Horry at center and hinted he might go with that kind of lineup more next season.

    This move could be the first step in that direction, with the 6-foot-10 Bonner a candidate to start in the middle.


    Be prepared for a whole season of smallball, folks. 63 wins was just too ing easy.
