Draft Prospect: Chris Douglas-Roberts

[T Park]

Shame the Spurs could have this guy and probobly won't get him.

[Sway]

Man I really hope we get this guy. His 1 on 1 record, if true, is amazing.

The rumor about Pat Riley not being very high on Beasley could have real ramifications for the Spurs. If the Heat trade their pick or simply choose Mayo, then that means Minnesota probably takes Beasley, which means Gomes can be had in free agency. Adding CDR, who can play the 2 or the 3 and Gomes, who plays the 3 or the 4, gives the Spurs nice depth and flexibility. It also allows Manu to start. JR Smith is more athletic than these two, but I doubt he decides of his own free will to play for the Spurs. Remember, he was only associated with San Antonio in trade possibilities, in which he had no choice. Gomes is much more of a typical Spur, a team guy, with good hoops IQ, etc.

If this guy can score anywhere on the court, can he be the next big thing to hit the spurs in terms of SG, is there the potential of him being a top SG in the league? Could he be built around ala KOBE/TMAC sort of team? with duncan shifting his powers to the latter and taking a lesser role?

What we need is a high volume scorer to take the load of the big 3 and building towards the future...

imagine a lineup like this

kurt/oberto/
duncan/bonner/ian
bowen/udoka
ginoboli/finley/CDR
parker/vaughn

i would like to see pop give CDR starters minutes like what he did with parker in his rookie season, this will speed up his development....
then when 2010 plans come along, we can always sign the players to fill in the spots vacant

The Spurs are cutting Manu's minutes, not increase them.....

[TDMVPDPOY]

who knows at best he could be second comin of derek anderson when he was with the spurs

Ginobili only played 31 mpg last year. That's already fewer minutes than most players with his level of production. Why would the Spurs want such a productive guy to play even fewer minutes than that?

because manu's style of play takes a toll on his body. it would be ideal to play him somewhere around 25-28 mpg in the regular season next year.

it would be ideal if he took a vacation and showed up around March.

Combine that with the fact that he will be coming off the Beijing Olympics and he'll likely need even more rest.

[The Truth #6]

Whatever new wing we get they're going to have to be able to produce right away. That's probably going to be difficult.

Smith, Artest, Pietrus - take your pick.
