McDonald: Spurs Had Close Call With Camby

[Galileo]

Bowen is useless against Bryant. You forget how Bowen got lit up by Bryant last year?

Bryant went two straight games against Bowen without making a single free throw.

[EricB]

Pop stupidly putting Bowen on the bench in Game 1 is alot of the reason they lost that game and the series.

[Ice009]

Or maybe its the LA connection?

I thought the same thing on both points. His LA connection and David Stern.

they just didn't quite pull it off, clippers might as well just blow up the team and start over, i'd like to say they have some good young talent, but they just ain't got it and baron davis isn't doing anything either

I wonder if the Spurs even considered Kaman as a subs ute for camby?

Perhaps, but Kaman's contract is pretty bad.

[ploto]

Goes to show they were willing to trade both Hill and Bruce.

Your as bad as T Park.

Gee, good take. We keep forgetting that the NBA decided to contract the Playoffs and make them only one round this season.

Getting past the first round is not a success for the Spurs who have at most around a 5 year window left with Duncan.

i do it, absorbing kamans contract for a top prospect center well establish in the league atm.

insert splitter at forward next to him, and this team is done rebuilding

young core of
kaman, splitter, gists, ghill + big 3

Check out rookie Eric Gordon's numbers. Nice player.

I'd have been happy with landing Kaman too, but given the economy I can't really say I blame the Spurs for not wanting to take on that contract. Kaman would have been a real nice fit next to Duncan though.......

Hopefully getting Tim some help will be our main priority this off season.

EricB is TPark, TPark is EricB...

As much as I like Hill, I would have done that trade in a heartbeat, no question Bowen comes back if the Spurs want him and we have a lot of other guys that can run the point besides JV.

[ulosturedge]

I think GHill has too much upside. I'd hate to trade him and if we did it would have to be for more. Camby isn't enough imo. If the Spurs can't add a solid big to help make a run this year then better to wait til next year. You try and do a "quickfix" to try and solidify a championship caliber team for this year then if it doesnt work out you have to deal with the baggage for the next couple of years. I'd rather wait til the off season and go after something better.
