And the offseason gets worse
Prigioni would instantly become the worst player in the NBA.

"He asked me about Pablo" Manu confirmed that Coach Popovich showed interest in the PG from Cordoba.
The rumor was out there after the Olympic that Popovich have asked Manu for Pablo Prigioni, to have him as the second PG in the team.
"Yes, he asked me about Pablo, but just like he does with the other players. I don't know which one is the actual interest or if he is being pursued by the FO to hire him"
- Talking about the 08/09 season, i think that is fair to be said that you are a veteran team like last one. As it is an odd year you should win the le
"Ha!, just like last season and the other one and the one before that one. They always say we are a veteran team but if we then make it to the place we do, what else can you ask for?! I would sign right now to lose on even years if it guarantees winning on the odd ones."
- There were not as many player replacements. Could it be a similar compe ion as last year?
"It's true, there were not big changes. I think the West will be tough as always. Last year it was criminal already, never the less, we were just one step away from reaching the Finals"

that's kinda tough... he plays VERY good D and you know that is a MUST to play for Pop... i don;t think he is < Stoudamire, Van Excel or even Vaughn...And the offseason gets worse

He's a horrible defender. Can get steals but that's about it.
He's much worse than Vaughn and Stoudamire. Don't know about NVE currently but if NVE weighs less than 300 pounds, I'd take him.
Against the US, the main reason Argentina got down so much is because Prigioni got destroyed in the first quarter. It wasn't until Prigioni was moved to shooting guard did Argentina start catching up.
That has to be a joke from Manu. If Pop wants an unproven rookie PG why not just go with Hill?
how many Turnovers did he have against D-Will and CP3?

he just needs to mesh with Oberto (second unit this year for sure) and Manu... it shouldn't be so tough since Manu keeps the ball on his hands a lot when he is the go to guy for the second unit...
Another TAU player ?
About a dozen.
Prigioni is horrible. I wouldn't want him 500 miles within the San Antonio city limits. I'd rather have Pepe Sanchez or pull Montecchia out of retirement.
since TAU already lost Dragic to the Suns... it'd be a HUGE blow for them to lose their starting PG... plus all the previous hate for the Scola chapters and now Splitter.... "the revenge of the Spurs?"Another TAU player ?
prigioni looks like the kind of player pop would like.
defensive minded, takes orders, shoots when he has to, sets up the plays.....
dont do it Pop
And I quite agree with timvp on Prigioni.
This guy is awful. Pop must have just asked him if this was really the best Argentina had to offer now so he could start scouting some other country's players.
Prigioni was the biggest reason Tau's season ended against CSKA. He airballed about four three-pointers and got destroyed on defense by JR Holden.since TAU already lost Dragic to the Suns... it'd be a HUGE blow for them to lose their starting PG... plus all the previous hate for the Scola chapters and now Splitter.... "the revenge of the Spurs?"
well.. he actually OWNED Holden on D when ARG played RUS on the Olympics... Holden was a non factor until the game was out of reach...
but not to be misunderstood... I would prefer Darius Washington > Prigioni or even developing Hill...
the scary part about this is that Pop may have already given up on Hill...
No he didn't. I watched that game and Holden had like 20 points and five assists, IIRC. Plus I believe that game was meaningless for both Argentina and Russia.
4th stringer?
I wonder what is in Pop's mind. Are they gonna go on a hunt with some trade or what?
I think GH is an instant backup for Tony, there is Vaughn so PG position is lock up.
Spurs really need to think about swings that can slash. In todays NBA slashers gets the most of the way they are playing.
If Ian is not the answer the spurs are screwed in the froncourt. In last years playoffs TD was the froncourt esp. in the rebounding area.
Just have to wait for a season. I was all done with the NBA the whole offseason. Time to be back in NBA life a bit more, then I will be back from death.
There is no question Holden is> Prigioni overall and on different scenarios... if you saw the game you should have also seen that Holden's last 15 points wer ein the 4th quarter and before his FG% was just horrible... i wonder why...
but what other options do we have out there for second unit PG?
He should have asked about Holden.
No need to make things up.

Holden had six points in the fourth quarter and was 2-for-5 in that period. The rest of the game he was 5-for-11 with 13 points.
Vaughn is better than him.

you are da man... although Prigioni had 10 assts and Holden 5 on that same game now that i am going over the boxscore...
btw.... i was just reporting this i am not in a Prigioni bandwagon or anything similar...

Prigioni sucks. Hopefully, since he plays for Tau, the Spurs won't get him even if they want to.
He had actually 4...

Same as D-Will and CP3 combined since you have to add up their PT to get to Prigioni's 33 min...
and BTW Kidd had 3 TO in 16 min...
we're even now... no need to make things up
WTF is going on with the Spurs FO lately?
I'm starting to believe that a rival GM has put some weird drug in the AT&T Center coffee machine.......
Or maybe Pop and Manu had too much of a good thing

It was obviously an exaggeration but if you watched the game you saw Prigioni was involved in many more than four turnovers. He didn't get credited with all of them but when he was at point guard Argentina couldn't do anything. It wasn't until Delfino started playing point did Argentina start catching up.He had actually 4...
