    As for Vescey, I think he broke both the Kidd trade and the recent Chauncey Billups trade.

    His commentary is often idiotic but his trade rumors aren't bad at all.

    If the Spurs don't get their together now, there likely wont be any use for a 2010 plan. Besides, they're not going to snag LeBron, Wade, Kobe, or even Bosh. , we can't get free agent to come to the Alamo City even during bear market free agency periods. Why would they come in 2 years, when the number of teams in the FA market will be significant?

    Was Amare effective before he had a consistent jumper? Yes. Was K.G? Yes. I think things take time, but he can be effective initially without having a consistent jumper. A jumper is a nice addition, but it's not a requirement. He's 250 LBS....Alot of players are effective in the post around that weight. Some even less.
    When did he hit 250 pounds? You sure about this?

    At 250 pounds, he's fine as a Center, but last time I saw he was still pretty scrawny.

    As for the shooting, he can be effective without a mid-range, but I said "great" power forward, he'll need to get an outside shot to hit that.

    I doubt that. I would have to look it up to be certain though.

    Kaman is a better version of Rasho, someone you can consistently get a double double from. He would be the best big man alongside Duncan since probably Robinson's last year. If the Spurs could make the trade happen, he would be well worth it...

    Vecsey is full of BS. He did NOT break any real big trades in the last couple of years. He's been wrong on a bunch though

    It says he's two thirty on the spur roster page, but this was a while ago, before this interview. I'm sure Bruno could give a more in depth analysis.

    I just dont see the spurs wanting to pay him that kind of money. From what we've learned the FO isnt gonna give up alot of money for a Big. Unless he has Drob or TD types of games. He would easily send one of the bigs home. And I dont think it would be bonner. More then likely AT.

    Thanks for the info. He was too skinny in the Summer league (imho), sounds like he's beefed up quite a bit since then.

    If he's 250 now, he'll be fine at Center.

    I think that there needs to be an official rule that anything from Vescey, Sam Smith or Hoopsworld is forbidden on this forum.

    Someone said you feverishly masterbate to 9/11 footage, is this true? Seems sick if it is, i'm just sayin'. I mean, people died that day. Don't let that determine your answer.

    Kaman will get what he wants. I don't know from who but he's a top 5 center.

    Which brings up an interesting question for the masses

    Would you rather have a player with high BBIQ and minimal to low skills (i.e. Oberto) or a player that has good skills, puts up good stats, but with a fairly low BBIQ (i.e. Kaman)?
    as i understand it, kaman makes more than 3x the money. also, i wouldnt say oberto has low/minimal skills. he is however, old and unathletic. a big part of putting up good stats is playing big minutes, and to play big minutes you have to have the stamina and athletic ability to stay on the court.

    so its not so simple as to say, IQ > skills. i think the spurs have shown however, that IQ > athleticism. but it all depends on salaries. KT @ 4M right now, looks a lot worse than scola @ 3.5M (I may be wrong on that salary!), even though KT has the higher IQ, but scola is younger and more athletic and hence more productive at this stage.

    also, i think with the injuries that have hit manu and parker, the last thing the spurs need is to tie up a lot of money on one player (who might also get hurt). They are better served to get several promising guys with that money. If its about a pipedream, i'd rather landry + millsap than kaman.

    I could be wrong, but I think he's averaging about two blocks a game. Decent defender. Upgrade from what we have overall. Double double man.

    I wouldn't know. I put him and his KFC buddies on ignore a long time ago.

    He thinks standing for the national anthem at a basketball game is somehow an endorsement of the Bush administration.

    Theres just no point in arguing with those people.

    You can simply stand for what it is you love about the country. It's not like they say "stand and honor the bush administration"

    Kaman's BB IQ would increase just by playing beside Duncan.

    But nothing could help that hair.

    I think the Clippers overrate Kaman's trade value because he was considered a Clipper cornerstone for so long. Therefore, I don't think the Spurs could offer what they would want (unless it's partly a salary dump).

    If he had an expiring contract, then I could see it, but $11 mil per for the next 4 years?

    Not!
