This is where the Spurs completely dropped the ball. They had an opportunity to nab a guy with top 15 talent at a position of need and they failed to do it. UNBEAVABLE!
Yeah, I think this where most of the initial negative reaction to George Hill came from.
The thought being you have a lottery pick that has fallen due to a rumor about a kidney, so take him.
In hindsight, if the Spurs were fixated on Hill, it would have been nice to bought a low first rounder and taken both Hill and Arthur.
Oh well.
The Spurs made the correct decision in drafting George Hill. It was the only decision.
Speaking of teams who decided not to draft Arthur....
Fail troll is fail.
Now if Hill becomes a good player you guys won't remember
If Arthur becomes good, good for him.
Yes, rAm. You are indeed correct in assuming that you are a troll incapable of success, unlike George Hill.
They already have, uh, Tim Duncan and a long, athletic rookie there. Next.
Anyone remember another Spur that had a question about his kidneys? It ended up destroying his career. Once bitten.....
Unbeavable? Does...does that mean that....I don't know, does it have something to do with gnawing trees?
George Hill finds it ironic that the poster named tlongII used the word "failed" and a gratuitous misspelling of the word "unbelievable" within 3 words of each other. The misspelling is even in all caps and bolded, to further highlight the shortcomings of tlongII! George Hill is very pleased! Perhaps tlong himself is indeed, unbeavable, meaning he cannot receive carnal pleasures of the body from a vagina.
at your sig
The whole Arthur situation is very strange. Right after being picked and asked about the kidney issue, he claimed to have tested fine but said something like "I guess the doctors forgot to send the report" to teams that were requesting it... so either someone really screwed up bad, or something fishy is going on. If some of you are pissed off about the Splitter situation, just think how you'd react if the Spurs took a 1st round chance on Arthur and it turned out he couldn't play for medical reasons.
Well Spur fan will be all whatever and . But it's true. We screwed up. Whether we pay for it or not we'll see. Maybe it'll turn out good.
Fail troll is fail.
Once again rAm, you are indeed correct in assuming that you are a troll incapable of success, unlike George Hill.
I'm assuming you're referring to the Blazers, correct? In fact, we DID draft him! That's how we traded for Batum!Speaking of teams who decided not to draft Arthur...
It's quite beavable. His agent ed up.
Trading Arthur for Batum???I'm assuming you're referring to the Blazers, correct? In fact, we DID draft him! That's how we traded for Batum!
And technically New Orleans picked.
Just for perspective, didn't Lute Olsen also say Marcus Williams should've been a first round player?
Arthur is from South Oak Cliff High (in Dallas) and I've heard rumblings that he is not the sharpest person in the world.
This screwup on the physical sounds the work of someone who is not squared away by his own lack of action, or by having an incompetent agent.
You don't have to be a rocket scientist to be a good NBA player, but I think it benefits you not to have too many blockheads on your team.
Of course Bill Self will stand up for one of his players. That's what coaches do.
Yeah, like Bill Self is an objective source.
The Spurs should have drafted him, as I said, to trade him down. They could have picked up something extra and still gotten George Hill. In the game of making value out of assets the Spurs have a negative track record.
Who says they didn't try?
I certainly can't beav it myself.
