this talk becoming pretty intense..... i really hope that spurs build solid nucleus team that can repeat. thats the bottomline
Let us fans keep our head cool....just like what our players did on the court. Spurs player are known for their obedience on and off the court. Try to copy the positive traits. There have been attempts to make our player's images bad by Suns player but overall everybody that watch NBA games know the truth about Spurs character.
Don't get in the way of Mr. Body with facts or anything positive. Ever since they broke his heart and didn't sign Javtokas for the MLE, he's hated our front office.
Well, I am also one of the guys who is not too thrilled about the roster. But there are a few things to consider.
a) it is only July, there is a lot of time to pull of a trade (they still have LLE, rest of MLE and TE)
b) there haven't been a lot better reasonable options with the moneythey had
Of course, getting Maggette would have been nice but the chances have been slim. J.R. Smith would have gotten matched, especially after they dumped Cambys contract. Other than that, I don't know what else the Spurs could have done. Giving Posey 4 years full MLE is risky.
I wonder if the Spurs could have signed Barnes for the LLE but it does not matter because they simply did not do it.
I'll wait for judgement about the draft until I have seen Hill play some NBA minutes. I completley agreed that they picked a PG because there haven't been a lot decent PGs in free agency.
The choice to become younger is good. But the main object is to get better. Then again, as I pointed out it is tough to do it with the money they had. I think Thomas will be back.
Here are a few players I they could look at if they don't like Gist:
Dorell Wright (hard to get because he is restricted)
Ricky Davis (a real scorer but might be to expensive and could become a cancer)
If the right deal comes along I would not be too surprised if the Spurs pull off a minor trade. I would focus on a post player. I am also not too high on Bonner playing extended minutes. But we will see. Here is a depth chart I would be satisfied with considering the remaining options:
Parker/ Hill/ Vaughn*
Mason/ Ginobili
Bowen/ Udoka/ Wright
Duncan/ Bonner/ Gist*
Oberto/ Thomas/ Mahinmi
*= IL
Nachbar has agreed to a contract with Dynamo Moscow, I think.
Given what happened this past year with our veterans getting used as turnstiles by faster, younger players, I can't fathom why you would about us getting younger.
Oh yeah, nevermind, that's because it's all you do.
If we had kept our vets, you would about us being old.
Now we're going with the youth movement, you're ing about us going too young.
If we kept a couple of vets and got a couple of younger players, you'd we didn't get young enough/keep enough vets.
Lame.
Um, everyone who has been around remembers you ing that we should give Javtokas the full MLE to come over. Then he stayed in Europe and couldn't even get off the ing pine with some Euro team.There's like this spreadsheet of bull where Aggie Weed keeps claiming I said one thing years ago
You have the player evaluation skills of a brick wall.
Certainly going to have a tough time for the Spurs to sign someone in FA. That's just too bad!
Even Childress (who the Spurs can't afford) may be sign with a European club.
Russian oil money definitely puts a damper on things!
you forgot spurs did not sign the right rookies
That's true. In 07 we won after we add E.Williams, Bonner, Elson, Butler Vaughn and giving Oberto more playing time.
Most fans were pissed about last offseason.
So we got 15 roster spots which breaks down like this so far:
SC Thomas, Oberto,
PF Duncan, Mahinmi, Gist
SF Bowen, Udoka, Tolliver
SG Ginobili, Mason, Finley
PG Parker, Hill, Vaughn
Bench: Bonner- (i hope this guy never get out of street clothes)
Wel
Thomas signed today
Hill is going to be signed by the end of the month
That leaves two spots: My guess is we sign Anthony Tolliver and bring back Father Time Finley. I really dont mind what we got set up for this year. I could do without Bonner obviously, and i still cringe when Wesley Snipes Vaughn touches the ball. Also could some one show Oberto how do dunk instead of laying it in. Anyway it would tickle my pickle to see us find one more Center that could maybe come in to games like Kevin Willis and throw a Bow in Kobe or Pau's face. I just want a 7'0 Pogo Stick that could jump and hustle like crazy...yes for all you pessmists I know its not feasible just saying. Whatever happend to Keon Clark, i mean he couldn't spell his name but he had some sharp elbos.
bring back Finley........the guy can still be a good situational 3pt shooter.
trade Bonner for a future second round pick, if anyone even wants him......or you gotta flat out waive him. Gotta give that roster spot to Hairston.
I like the athleticism and energy being shown by Gist, Tolliver, and Hairston.......they all need to make the roster......more upside than Bonner.
What's an SC?
Small Center
small center
I think it stand for "the Suck Center".
No it's already been clarified. It's small center.
Go after Ryan Gomes.
Some reports have him talking to Cleveland for the MLE.
I can't picture a scenario where that happens, but I think he'd fit perfectly now, and it looks more & more like Minnesota might not keep him. At the end of the season, McHale said he was their Free agency priority, but has since resigned Telfair and Smith, and acquired Love, Cardinal, and Carney. I've wracked my brain trying to think of a way to get him, but can't come up with anything. A one year deal for what's left of the MLE with the chance to be unrestricted is a long shot, but Gomes more than most players might take that chance to play with a winner and get his bigger payday next year.
Imagine the depth chart:
Parker/ Hill/ Vaughn
Mason/ Ginobili
Bowen/ Udoka/ Gist
Duncan/ Gomes/ Bonner
Thomas/ Oberto/ Mahinmi

Why do people make this thread several times a week?
Is this the thread with the Real depth chart, the Real Depth Chart, the Really Real Depth Chart, or the Really Really Really Really Real Depth Chart?
I want to be sure I'm posting in the right place and not just talking about hypotheticals.
