we should add a poll to this thread to see what the common Spurstalker thinks... V-Span> Prigioni for the Spurs system?
I wish Pop would temper his man-crush for all foreign players. He acts as though each one is the next Manu Ginobili.

From what I saw in the Olympics.. I don't want him at all.
Not even a contest, V-Span. I am still kind of hoping there was some shred of truth that the Spurs were trying to get him over.we should add a poll to this thread to see what the common Spurstalker thinks... V-Span> Prigioni for the Spurs system?
i rarely disagree with Pop but this i totally disagree with.....
maybe he thought he would try to make manu feel important
Damn, why didn't Pop ask Manu about Scola...?
why
scola hated pop
I don't like Prigione. I hope he doesn't come to San Antonio
Ok. Great ing draft pick Spurs, great draft pick.
I thought Pop loved Hill? Question - Why isn't Hill signed yet? and why is Pop going after every point guard he can find????????
Pablo Agaist Rusia have 11 points, 11 asist, 3 Steals and 0 TO!!!
But honestly pablo isn't a NBA type of player he's like pepe sanchez a Fiba Style PG.
Pop has lost his mind. George Hill step the up and show us you can play. Vaughn could own this guy on the court.
Americans don't want to play in SA so crater face has to recruit over seas. Spurs will tank next season to try to get as many ping pongs as they can. Exciting times are coming again for Spur fans. Get ready!

I find it quite funny that people bash Pop on that one. You should better read what Manu said :
"he asked me about Pablo, but just like he does with the other players"
So Pop hasn't asked more details on Prigioni than on other Argentinean players.
The logical conclusion of this article is that Spurs aren't specially interested in Prigioni.
pass...PLEASE..
PRigioni is a bad defender....not like pepe sanchez
I agree wholeheartedly, and almost posted something similar. Frankly, I'd be more upset with Pop if he DIDN'T ask Manu or Tony about the guys they play with. The Spurs organization using all the sources and resources they have to make sure they aren't overlooking someone who has the potential to contribute is something I support 100%.
-------> Yeahhhhh man !!! and Scola cant play basketball !!! ... ohhh, waith !
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.
I have to agree with this... I don't think Prigioni is THAT bad, but still, I would also pick Pepe Sanchez or retired Montecchia over him...
that means Pop have no confidence on Hill to be the no.2 PG in Spurs
That was established when the Spurs went after Pargo.
Well that establishes that the front office is turning into a joke! If they freaking NEED a point guard why not draft someone who is supposedly ready now like Chalmers?
I DO NOT understand this draft pick of Hill at all.
1. Why is Hill not signed?
2. Why are the Spurs looking at every point guard on the planet when they drafted one? I know Hill isn't really a point guard, but again why draft the guy when you NEED a back up PG?
first off, even if Pop showed some interest, I really can't see how this could work.
he's under contract with Tau, maybe there is an escape clause, but we know about Tau's contracts. they also can't let him go, he's currently their only PG with Dragic heading to the Suns.
(Tau is in talks with Fred Jones, also not exactly a PG as we know)
aside this, Prigioni is a player none likes, not even the Argentinians.
and aside this fact, he isn't as bad as all call him. he's the type of constantly underrated player and there is enough to somehow understand why Pop is interested.
he is really a good defender (at least at Euroleague level), last season he was voted 2nd place for the Euroleague defensive player of the year (behind only Diamantidis), he doesn't turn it over much and he can hit the 3 occasionally.
but it's a bit like with JV. I guess most will agree that it would be great to have JV as the 3rd PG on the team. same with Prigioni IMO. if we would have him as the #3 PG to play some 10 MPG, we would be fine with it.
I find it funny how people put on their players Pom Poms thinking that will alone will make players better. Let me be very clear. Its not about Manu, its not about George Gervin, its not about Pop. Its about the colors Black and Silver. If it takes trading away a player and making the colors Black and Silver better then do it. That means coaches as well. Im Black and Silver first. Everyone including Timmy, Tony, and Manu are tradeable. Black and Silver will be here way after Manu leaves and goes back to his country. It would be stupid if we have or had the chance to make our team better by trading Manu and not doing it because of what Manu used to be able todo.
???
it's "Popovich asked Manu for Pablo Prigioni" and not "Popovich asked to trade Manu for Pablo Prigioni"
