Do you know something we don't, perhaps?![]()
Whether Hill pans out, no one can say right now, but even Marcus Williams looked great at times for the Clippers' SL team, after being totally out of his depth last year. Hill's learning curve is very steep. If he needs time and the Spurs bring in Pargo, that seems like a win-win to me.

Yeah for $2M starting price, he's a good deal. Plus it would hurt the Hornets and that's also good.
By glancing at the numbers, the Hornets look like they are pretty darn close to the luxury tax threshold after signing Posey. Perhaps the Spurs know they can outbid the Hornets if the Hornets won't go over the threshold.
Something is definitely up since the Spurs have stalled before making the obvious moves of re-signing Finley and signing draft picks such as Hill and Gist. I guess part of the delay could be a Pargo pursuit.
Are you calling a preemptive bull ??
spurs still need to sign gist if they get pargo
Nice mature, relevant, thought out take. As usual...
4) They're putting together a Bonner, Hill, 2009 first rounder, 2010 second rounder for Artest![]()
But I thought Hill was ready and Pop was praising him left and right...
When some of us said he was Toros material, people started saying we were not Spurs fans... But now everybody agrees?
Some people need to start eating the warm crow served to them. You know who you are.
I'm actually more concerned that the Spurs haven't extended a contract offer to Gist yet. I would have taken him over Tolliver from what we saw in the SL...
I really would've had rather had Najera. He'd been a perfect fit to replace Horry and to make Bonner expendable.
If this happens, it's not a good sign for Hill, as you've stated earlier. It could also mean that Pop was a tad overzealous in his estimation about Hill's readiness to play. We'll see.
Even if they do sign Pargo, they could still resign Finley. After all, it's not like Pargo is a standard SG. Of course, he could be in one of Pop's wacky lineup schemes.
Not to knock your take, but name other late first round draft picks (26th or later) that have come in as effective scorers? I mean, if he can defend NBA point guards well, that is already a bonus. Not to say that Pargo would not be nice, especially because regardless of position the Spurs need a shooter, but Hill seems to be ready to get some minutes. Unless a trade brings us a veteran at the 3-5 spot, I can not see us trading Hill or signing Pargo.
I'm sure we'll sign Gist. We just don't have to yet as we have his rights.
The way this is all playing out with the backcourt, as others have mentioned, something's up. Well, that or Pop is drinking way too much wine before picking up the phone to call other teams and free agents.
I hope they don't resign Finley. Yes, I did read something about Cuban making a comment about welcoming Finley back to the fold, at some point in the future.
Please Cuban. Take him Finley out of Pop's reach.
The Spurs have Gist's rights. They did not have Tolliver's. If the Spurs did indeed like Tolliver for whatever reason, they had to lock him up early so that no other team could make a bid. They do not have to worry about Gist, because they can wait it out and see what happens with trades, free agency and ...
Don't make yourselves look stupid moron spurs fans you know your front office is only offering 2-year deals...

Two guys, I think their names are Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili or something.
All drafted at or below 26 in the last five years (well, except for our boys).
You were saying?
...Wait, who the * * are these people?
to be fair, AHF, about half your list were crap to mediocre their rookie year. yes, they may be good players now, but they didnt have it from the get go.
The problem for Hill is that he's not a PG. It's hard enough to transition from College to the Pros, and if you add he's gotta learn a new position, I think it's too much. It's not a knock on the kid, it's just truly, really hard. And the Spurs core might have another 3-4 years together, so we don't have time to waste. I think Pop probably likes his work ethic, so the kid will be around.
I wouldn't mind Pargo, if he can be had for a 2 year deal and reasonable money.
Ya, they were all prolific scorers entering the league, that is why they shot so well their rookie year and got so many minutes. If you think Hill could not match that scoring production with the same amount of average minutes you are crazy.
You were saying... maybe you and I differ greatly on our definition of "prolific"
Freaks of nature that have allowed the Spurs to win 4 championships. How many other teams have drafted like that? Peoples willingness to jump ship because of a story is not only alarming, but telling. It tells you what people really think. There will be no hiding now one way or another. If Hill is involved in a trade that brings us someone valuable in a position we need and allows us to sign Pargo, than fantastic. That is great value for a #26 pick. If he plays and defends well and averages 6 points in 14 minutes a game, than fantastic, he gives us as much value as everyone on AHF's list in their rookie season.
and your team is amazing all of a sudden?
