Lakers can replace Odom, IMO, Ariza not so much and he's a great fit there.
im so high on ariza is becuase he is only 22 a great defender, getting better offenseively and improving his 3 point range, he just beggining to develop and would be a better fit then bowen was and a replacment
i think ariza might leave la when he sees other offers from other teams and i think at the end of the day la might pursue odom then ariza
Lakers can replace Odom, IMO, Ariza not so much and he's a great fit there.
he's from miami went to high school in la but went to ucla
odom would be tough to replace becaue he costs so much matchup porblems but well see becuase no matter who they keep they wont get paid that much and ariza wants a pay day and odom also
yah but bynums contract screwed up this team up big time
i see pop and rc really trying to convince him to come over e ally if phil jackson is really going to retire next year
Having a big with Odom's versatility with regards to matchups is a luxury, IMO, but having a long/athletic 3 who can defend almost every position on the court while posing a threat on the perimeter and around the rim is invaluable....especially for a team with their defensive lapses.

believe in ariza
i do
that why i hope him and sheed not mcdyess actually come over next year
Green would be a good pick at #37, but if the Spurs in fact think about signing Austin Nichols, this pick doesn't make as much sense.
lol he looks like trevor
how come his development is compared to granger? ,,,,,
he is too good to fall into the second round, much less to the 37th
Green just seems like a player the Spurs would target...a defense-first role player that does well in just about every category but won't wow you.
Of all the realistic SG/SF prospects in this draft, I'd pick this guy.
Agreed. The signs point to us probably taking Casspi at 37, but he is gone I hope we take Green.
Unless someone surprising is still on the board I'll be disappointed if we don't take Green at 37 if he's still there.
Which one seems to be the better prospect - Green or Casspi?
Will Green be available at 37? I hope he is, and if not, I hope we move to get him.
Depending on who pulls out, they both could be off the board at 37, especially Casspi. I don't really know who is better, but I think I prefer Casspi. He seems to have a higher ceiling, did more against better compe ion, he's got good size for small forward, etc...
I'd say Green is probably more ready to contribute because he's a capable three-point shooter and he plays solid defense.
But Casspi has better size, is aggressive driving to the hoop, and is a smart player off the ball.
To me though, they're different types of prospects. Green is a SG/SF long-term, while Casspi is a SF/small-ball PF.
If the Spurs are looking for an immediate contributor that can step in and be a solid role player, I'd say go with Green. If they're looking for the kid with more upside, it's Casspi.
So the long answer...really no "better", just different. Truth be told, I hope they buy a pick and get both.
that would be awesome if we can get bothand get claver and lull in the later rounds
And Ariza is clutch on D in the 4th, every damn 4th he made clutch actions on D : steals, rebounds, blks...
yah i would break the bank for this guy
even give spurs my paychecks for this kid![]()
With the putrid situation that is the SF position on this team, I'm going to suggest the Spurs get greedy and hopefully nab both of them - assuming they're both available. Besides the Spurs have 3 second round picks.
unfortunately he is no spurs material he is young athletic and he can dunk

Green, by the way, worked out for San Antonio
Green measured significantly better this year than in last years combine:
height without shoes: 6' 5.25"
height in shoes: 6' 6.5"
weight: 208.0
wingspan: 6' 10"
standing reach: 8' 7"
that's 3/4' more height and looks ok for a wing. far from the "long" SF, but nice for a SG/SF as the Spurs usually play them.
(DX explains that the measurements were taken in the morning, when people are slightly taller. maybe, but it also isn't impossible that also a 21 yeas old guy still grews an inch over a year. a friend of mine grew 2 full inches from 20 to 21)
