    'I miss Brent Barry and I want to have his baby.'

    It might be a bit strongly worded, but if we keep Finley (rather than Brent), the FO needs a foot shoved up it's ass...

    I, like a lot of Spurs fans, am inebriated by this youth movement and I can't think straight. It's been so long since there were any young Spurs (aside from Tony) that my brain is discombobulated. I am so excited at the prospect of having players who are not calcified that I'm giddy.

    None of the above. I welcome the youth movement, but it's a loaded question, no?

    I stand by my many previous statements and opinions. I called for just such an infusion of younger talent before...and am thrilled it's finally underway. Our core is still intact, and I believe the team is better equipped to fend off the emerging teams in the Western conference. With this roster, they're better positioned for an extended championship run. I can live with the results.

    None of the above...the answers are pretty silly.

    I was for the youth movement but I was hoping the Spurs would get younger thru using the MLE to get some quality younger FA's to replace our aging vets pulling heavy minutes. It seems they have to an extent (with Mason) but the majority of the youth brought in seems really unproven and I'm unsure they will be better options than what we had...

    I was hoping against hope that Pop would drop the Horry and Finley love. Apparently he's afraid to call Horry for fear that he'll offer him a roster spot, and apparently he just can't bring himself to quit Fin. Funny though, how Brent becomes a hall of famer as soon as he leaves rather than a guy that couldn't play defense and didn't pull the ing trigger often enough.

    Oh yeah, I voted for option five. There will be a new member of the Gist memorial hall of fame in Gistfield, Massachusgist.

    I'd modify option 3 to "...too many of the old guys."

    My preferred option, not listed, is "We're damn old. Gotta bite the rookie bullet sometime."

    They are rookies. Of course they are unproven. Did you want them to find some rookies that already proved themselves on the NBA level?

    I'm happy with what has been done. I think it will be fine.

    none of the above... I am all for the youth movement; just think we might enter the playoffs as a 6th or 7th seed with possibly 3-4 rookies on the roster; Ian to me is still considered a rook.

    Hopefully Pop plays the crap out of Hill, Ian, Gist, and Tolliver in the beginning, they need to be thrown in the fire. I think his head will explode though, four rookies making dumb mistakes left and right, it'll be too much. , he'll probably live in his wine cellar for the first half of the season.

    If we have these four rooks on the roster and Pop plays them a lot then yea the first half of the season will be pretty rough with some if not all being in Pop's dog house at some point during next season.

    It is funny how almost everybody was calling for the Spurs to get younger and more athletic but now that it has happened there seem to be some regrets and tentativeness coming from some fans. I think their moves have been smart ones, even if the record has to suffer a little bit while incorporating a lot of new players. If Mason plays well and is a good, consistent starting SG, and one or two of the rookies is peaking by the end of the year, the Spurs will be a team nobody will want to face in the playoffs. It's rare for an elite team to keep their core stars and at the same rebuild with lots of youth. Barry was a great guy to have, but I think letting him go to provide more minutes for the young guys was the smart move.
