SPURS.COM: Spurs Waive Green, Stoudamire and Watkins

[SenorSpur]

This is an easy decision. Hairston is a goner. What can Hairston bring that we don't already have in Udoka, Bowen, Finley and Mason. Farmer gives you something that no one else can and that's offense from the bench at the PG position. So when Farmer makes the team who gets cut when Ginobili comes back? Tolliver or Farmer?

If you think that Hairston is in any way similar to Finley, Bowen, Udoka or Mason, then it's obvious you know very little about this kid. , it's also clear you've not read comments from others who've watched him play during preseason. There is a reason the final cut comes down to these two. Because they both have skills needed by this ball club. Farmer's stroke and scoring abiltiy are badly needed. However, Hairston has length, can score, rebound and defend from the wing. That said, let's not act as though Hairston is a mere redundant talent.

He is cheaper. Udoka's contract runs out after this year, and they may not want to re-sign him. Bruce needs a youngin to tutor, and won't be here forever. Mason may not live up to what the FO wants him to be. Please don't compare him to Finley.

I agree with everything you said man. Very good take and you are right. I mean Hairston could step in and replace Ime next season if we don't resign him. Hairston would be very valuable in the next two to three years.

For this season I'd say we NEED Farmer. For this season I'd say I WANT Malik, but we don't NEED him this season. It's such a tough freaking choice. I really do want both.

What do you go with? Do you go with your needs or wants? Present or the future? Personally I'd go with what we need now.

man... i wish they didn't cut Salim, we could've definately used him in various situations... !

[mrspurs]

Watkings gone.... they should have traded Oberto.. there goes the only decent shot blocker...

We all knew theses guys were headed out the door. Im not sure the FO is smart enough to get rid of Fab. He will be back doing what Fab does best. Wasting a position that shoulda been filled long ago. Fab and Kurt what a joke I wouldnt want to know how Timmy feels if these are the 2 that will give him rest.

I'm sorry to see Watkins go. I never thought he had a realistic chance to make the roster, based on how things are presently constructed. Yet, I really liked his raw skills. Outside of Duncan, there is not another shot-blocker on this team. There, I said it.

That wasnt to hard to say. I wont think anyless of ya. Matter fact the only ones who might start crying are the ones on my ignore list. Your right after Timmy we have nada compared to what the rest of the NBA has. If you think Timmys poor post season shooting was bad last year. Get ready for another one if Fab and Kurt are the men giving him rest.
