    Ian is here, as is Gist for the time being. Javtokas may get an offer and I would even take Elson back for the right price, but young scoring help on the wing is far more important right now. I can't believe anyone could have watched the playoffs and decided otherwise.

    are you joking... we need big men more than anything... there just arent any good ones that want the MLE we have to offer... we have NO big men... elson sucks, oberto sucks... bonner sucks... horry sucks... thomas is old... the only good big man we have is duncan... we need a big guy before anyone else

    Nah, young swingmen who attack the basket are much more of a priority -- and the Spurs FA choices reflect that.
    elson sucks
    Maybe you should know who is on the roster before stating team needs.

    Oberto is the worst big man defender in the NBA, we need to replace him, but it will be tough because there is no team that will want to take him, so we stuck with him for the next two years.

    Correct me if I am wrong, but here is your answer. He rebounds, he hustles and he is bloody athletic would run the floor well with Parker. I also hear that they want to trade him.

    I'd like Lee, but Zeke isn't running the show anymore. The Knicks would actually want something in return.

    Except DJ Mbenga doesnt start.

    At least Oberto knows HOW to play... he just doesnt have ANY skill to speak of other than throwing the ball well to Duncan and getting out of his way.

    I think Kwame Brown is better than Oberto... at least he can dunk the ing ball when he catches it... whats the use of being able to catch a ball and being in the right position when your only front rim an open lay up like Oberto

    I don't know if he's the worst defender, but can look really bad against a superior offensive post player. He's a smart player and I know Pop loves him dearly, but there are a lot of tough matchups in the West that render Oberto virtually useless. Besides that, I'm tired of seeing him tap rebounds out as opposed to having enough skill in which to grab them.

    We do need a wing player first. Another help defeder will be great. As I've said many times, the frontlines of the Western Conference teams will be much bigger than in years past. So another big man with skills that are slightly better than Thomas/Oberto would be helpful to Duncan.

    I agee. With the dud Oberto starting at center were going to gext exposed next season like we did in the WCF. Even Gasol beat us on the boards. We went to KT when the series was over he should of been our starting C. TD hasn't had help since Robinson retired. It will be hard to get Okafor but if we somehow get him then get Oberto out of San Antonio.

    Unless the Spurs do come up with yet another supporting big, Pop will have to force-feed minutes to Ian, exhibit a bit of patience and live with the results.

    You think that's tiresome; imagine what I go through every time some poster makes this stupid argument.

    totally in agreement about Oberto, why did we ever resign him, I thought it was a mistake at the time and now we are stuck with him for another year. Scola was a far superior option, the only thing I am hoping for this year, in the absence of a trade, is to see Mahinmi step up and take over this role.
