Williams >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Byars.
Lute Olsen usually isn't wrong about players.
I wouldn't give up on the kid after a bad showing in summer league.
Williams >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Byars.
^^ That's the same face I make when I watch Marcus Williams shoot the ball.
scola
I really want to take your word for it, and I refuse to believe the FO would have used a relatively high (very low 2nd rounder in a deep draft) pick on someone as bad as some are making him out to be. But first, I'd like to know: how regularly have you watched him play? I was wondering, because I found troubling that most those who have watched him on a regular basis don't seem to like him too much.
It was also hideous to watch Bruce Bowen shoot when he first came.^^ That's the same face I make when I watch Marcus Williams shoot the ball.
The kids 20, and he doesn't deserve at least a couple years work?
No, he's not good or lucky. He's a moron and he has Tim Duncan. He trades away players like Scola with LITERALLY NOTHING TO SHOW FOR IT IN RETURN other than cap space. Not only that, he trades them to division rivals who need the position he plays at. Are we looking at the next Tim Donaughy? Possibly...
Well, it's 2008 and I think we are reaching the end of the Marcus Williams line. After three games on the Los Angeles Clippers summer league team, Williams is shooting 7%. Seven percent. Siete persentados.For the record, I hope Bruno can bump this thread eight years from now.
o to those reading this in 2015.
(Just in case.)
He's turning out worse than I thought and I thought he was the worst player I've ever seen on a Spurs summer league team. Amazing.
I just hope that the Spurs used different scouts this year.
You remind me of Red Sox fans. The team can win 100 games and the World Series but Red Sox fans think they know better than the manager and GM.
Oh he didn't pinch hit for Varitek in the 8th or the FO dropped Bucholz to the minors at the end of the season.
You realize that your patting yourself on the back because of a second round pick not working out? Thats like patting yourself on the back because someone doesnt hit the jackpot on the slots and you called it.
I'm guessing you haven't kept up. I was fine with the draft pick of Marcus Williams at the time. I thought it was a decent enough gamble. I also fully agreed with the Spurs waiving Williams because he sucked. In fact, I was wishing they would waive him because the gamble obviously was a losing proposition.
My only arguments with people last year were with posters who were saying that the Spurs made a huge mistake in drafting Williams and the posters who disagreed with waiving him. My stance is that the Spurs front office was justified in both picking him and waiving him.
By agreeing with what the front office did in both regards, how exactly am I acting like Red Sox fan? Thanks in advance.
I mean you could see that he was awful the first time you saw him. I guess you could scout for them or something because obviously they hadn't done their homework properly and it was just so obvious to you.
What part of I agreed with the gamble when the Spurs selected him did you not read? He played power forward in college. The Spurs gambled he could transition to small forward in the NBA. It didn't work out.
It was obvious to me he sucked right away after making the transition -- just like it was obvious to the Spurs right away that he sucked after making the transition. It just wasn't obvious to other posters in here who thought they knew more than the Spurs FO concerning whether or not Williams should be waived.
And yeah, I hope the Spurs did use different scouts this time. And it sounds like they did.
In retrospect, it will be the 2007 offseason that killed the Spurs. If not killed them, at least sent them into a long and slow lingering death. That's the year they absolutely needed to bring in fresh talent but wound up with a big NIL from their two draft picks and then wound up trading away their excellent asset of Luis Scola for nothing. True, it's not their fault Splitter never came over, but the Williams pick was deeply questionable at the time, and all the offseason brought on was Ime Udoka.
Ah, complaining again, I see.
Have to agree with that.
Basically, RC robbed the Bucks then threw away the stealin's!
(oh, and the apostrophe is for the missing "g")
(and yes, I could have just said "proceeds", but I was feeling creative)
(I'm going away now)
Authority!? Ha! RC put together the teams that won 3 rings... yeah, he's totally .
The Scola trade was about lux tax money, blame the owners. RC wouldn't have made that trade if he hadn't been told to by the ownership group.
As for the comparison with a CHEATING REFEREE, where do you get off saying like that???
Moron.
Thread necrophilia, I wonder who's wandering the morgue...
nothing but luck...since we outlasted the celts, and won duncan the spurs have been blessed with luck......one lucky pick over another(not saying our FO doesnt work their behinds over looking around, after all thats what they get paid todo)...now that our luck has run out, our FO is doing pretty much what holt wants....build the finest,,most durable building in the city, with the cheapest hardworking players you can find....holt and his drinking buddies do a pretty good job....but luck has alot todo with it
