    I really was fine with the Finley signing....at least until I realized they intended to play the guy! Finley would have made a nice end of the bench spot player for minimum wage. He knows the system and might have a little left in the tank during limited stints. But as a regular rotation guy hes complete garbage.

    If a team selects two point guards in the draft, chances are, the one selected with a non-guaranteed contract won't make the team. You don't want two rookie point guards. And, just for the of it, if they did keep both, they would play one and one wouldn't play at all, so that one who didn't play would still have no trade value, which is the point you were getting at.
    they drafted that 2nd round PG specifically to trade him to PHX, just like they did with Barbosa. Did we even get anything out of that trade?

    I dont know why we just didnt draft Hairston to begin with, and let PHX fend for themselves.

    I get chills and kinda down thinking about what could have been......

    Last years roster: (I think would have won our 5th Championship)
    C - Elson, Oberto, Bonner
    PF - Duncan, Scola, Horry
    SF - Bowen, Udoka
    SG - Manu, Finley, Barry
    PG - Parker, Vaughn, Stoudamire

    This years roster:
    C - Splitter, Ian, Oberto
    PF - Duncan, Scola, Tolliver/Watkins
    SF - Bowen, Udoka, Hairston
    SG - Manu, Mason, Farmer
    PG - Parker, Hill, Barry

    Next year's roster: (If Watkins and Tolliver played well, they would keep their roster spot)
    C - Splitter, Ian,
    PF - Duncan, Scola,
    SF - Udoka, Gist, Hairston
    SG - Manu, Mason, Farmer
    PG - Parker, Hill,


    It sure would have made things interesting when competing for the OBrien........and at least our front court would been more than Duncan and the not so furious 5.
    Splitter is signed through the summer of 2010, IIRC, so you'll have to revise next season's roster.

    Because we got another 2nd round pick out of the deal for swapping second rounders. Try to keep up.

    Chalmers being a pg and with the success of Nash, Paul and Williams the trends are to grab a pg especially since most teams need a GOOD one
    Chalmers was so in demand, league wide, he slipped to #34.

    Epic Fail

    you dont have to be an ass about it.....btw, I thought we already had that other 2nd rounder prior to the trade.....the 2nd rounder we got was for 2009 wasnt it?

    No, the Suns basically gave the Spurs a second round pick to move up two spots in the draft.

    Chalmers played the wing at KU. They tried him as a PG early in his career and the results were terrible.

    The reason he fell to 34 is because there are MAJOR doubts about his ability to play the point on a good team. As it is, I think he'll prove to be serviceable - but more likely a role guy on the second team as opposed to a starter.

    Out of college, he absolutely did not (and almost certainly will not) show the ability of a Nash, Paul, or Williams.

    Of all the moves (or non-moves) that the Spurs have made in recent years, I don't believe that drafting Hill over Chalmers will be one that they come to rue.

    Chalmers was a 2 in college. He struggled terribly when he was forced to run the point for the Jayhawks.

    The reason he was drafted higher is because there are major questions about his ability to run an offense in the long run, or open a window when he's smoking chronic at a hotel on business, and not set off the fire alarm.
    FIFY

    because we actually had the players on my roster.....Cleveland has always had the rights to Lebron.

    My roster was a somewhat realistic look at what our team could have looked like had we not given certain players away, as well as, been able to sign many of our recent draft picks.

    but I guess that is way too complex for you to comprehend or understand. maybe next time i will put it in a coloring book and hand you some crayons so it will be more clear for you.

    Chalmers is such a bonehead....He is about to make millions and tries to throw it away by smoking dope before the season even starts. I guess these fools have never heard of Len Bias.

    Tiago not coming over really hurt the offseason upgrades. Do you realize how much better this frontcourt would be with good ole Splitter? He'd probably be starting and we'd have the luxury of Oberto, Thomas and Bonner all on the pine. We'd have height, youth and athleticism in the frontcourt. Plus, the outlook on Mahinmi wouldn't be so dire. We'd have the luxury to bring him along slowly and not bet the farm on him. Tolliver would probably never have come here, but it's not like hes been helping so far anyways.

    I think people are starting to see the truth. Kurt and Finley have put our team behind times. We were already behind times with Fab, Matt and Jacque. Call it what you want, bad this, bad that. But do call it what it is. Very bad luck.
