Big Baby to San Antonio? Grant Hill to Boston?

[bless1187]

G. Davis is definitely not the 1st big man on my list, but after thinking it over; he really impressed me with his performance this playoff; the first few games that he had, i thought it might just be a fluke, but he kept up his good play through out the whole playoff. i was also really impressed by his mid range J, i see him as a poor man's D. West of the Hornets, and another thing i like about him is how much he improved from his 1st season to his 2nd season. i would not be opposed to this signing at all; since i believe he could average around 12 ppg 6 rpg for us.

yeah whats up with these players showing emotion when they hit a shot that wins an important playoff game. Shame on Big Baby he should leave the league because players showing emotion ruin the NBA.

thats what im talking bout homie. um. lol

Both of those bolded guys above basically did not play at all last season. The one good defensive prospect, Hill, was benched with 10 games left to finish the season. Thomas barely played against the Mavs for matchup reasons.
All of our defensive stats were fairly average for the most part during the entire season.
You're delusional if you think Duncan can simply transmit defensive prowess by osmosis. It takes time and discipline to learn a system and apply it properly. I do think (and hope) that RJ will help us with defense. And Manu coming back should also help. But on the interior defense, it's Duncan or bust, and I don't feel really confident about that considering the matchups we have on the west.

You make a good point with RJ and Manu and I guess i must be delusional because I believe Duncan will hold down the fort down low. My point was that Pop and RC gave those guys one last try and it didn't work out(looking at it from a the 08 offseason point of view.) And it will take time, but I believe Pop will teach these young guys how to play some defense.

He sucks and I can't stand him.

I took care of this for you; saved you the trouble of having to argue about him being a good defender

He does not "suck" completely, but....

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Any more actual EVIDENCE that this is happening, or are we still operating on some twit's tweet that has been repeated by the Boston Globe and Fox anti-news North-East?

[DesignatedT]

I guess you would rather have Gooden who shows less emotion and looks like a chicken with his head cut-off when he is out on the court.

whats this about emotion.. last time i checked the cornerstone of our franchise is tim duncan and hes got 4 rings without having to pound his chest and run around the court like an idiot. big baby can stay right next to kg and they can pound there chest together while riding paul pierce through another playoff again

[polandprzem]

He sucks and I can't stand him.

Same here in the North of Poland

+1 Bruno.

if they sign him, then i guess i can learn to like him.

but everytime i watched the celtics play, i thought he was a chucker and didn't really care for him.

[BobEX]

I'd be fine with signing Davis. Rasheed would have been a better fit, but Davis has youth on his side, and does have playoff and championship experience.

[Ninja]

We don't have perkins, but we have Ian, Blair and TIM FREAKING DUNCAN.

So out of Bonner, Ian, Blair, and Davis, which one are you comfortable starting?

[DPG21920]

No one is saying it is happening for sure, but this is a thread about a potential signing and people's opinion on the subject.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

This thread is the greatest example of the "rumour mill" phenomonon I've ever seen.

BTW, I just heard from my copusin that his sister said that her uncle saw Michael Jackson at the mall yesterday, and my brother's uncle's dog saw Martians land in his back paddock last night. Yippee!

[kbrury]

I actually like him as a player just not on the Spurs atm, I was hoping they would draft him when they had the chance. If this is the sole bigman the Spurs are going to get this offseason Ill be just ok with it but it raises a lot more questions then answers. If this move goes along with a trade for a bigman or Splitter somehow comes over then Ill like this move a lot more. Davis has proven himself in the league already but he still has potential to become better. But who knows...all of this is uncertain atm we havn't even signed him yet.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

No one is saying it is happening for sure, but this is a thread about a potential signing and people's opinion on the subject.

No sir, it's not. I've been in this thread as long as you have, and most people are posting as if it's a done deal.

[scottspurs]

Let them battle for it and let Pop decide not me.

[DPG21920]

Why do you care about people discussing a POTENTIAL signing if they want to? It is the offseason and the source is not as bad as you make it out to be.

No one is saying it is guaransheed, but it is no different than a think tank FA thread that gets hot. What is the big deal? Obviously people like to speak on the subject.

i don't think anyone actually believes it's going to go through because of the twitter post ... it's people just pondering a potential acquisition, that's all.

[ElNono]

And it will take time, but I believe Pop will teach these young guys how to play some defense.

That's something we don't have. That's why we're looking for experienced players that can actually do a decent job of defending the paint. You know, like Kurt Thomas, but with more mobility.

[DPG21920]

No sir, it's not. I've been in this thread as long as you have, and most people are posting as if it's a done deal.

Well it is, because clearly he is not allowed to be signed yet.

[kbrury]

Yeah people are taking it way overboard, I guess Rasheed not signing with the Spurs gets us a lot more anxious which results in what's happening in the thread.

[DesignatedT]

i just want dyess.. never even wanted sheed. dyess should be our man

[DPG21920]

Kori would close the thread if it did not belong. No need to have extra police.

[ElNono]

Nothing is a done deal until July 8th anyways.

[spurspokesman]

This would be a major, major blunder. Please do not let this be true. Please. If this is true, like I said, I HATE the RJ trade overall. Spurs will be capped out and out of the 2010 race.

No way you pay the luxury tax for Big Baby. Tim would ask to be traded.

We have arguably the same player in dejuan blair. Cut and get a center.

[kbrury]

Yeah anything could happen, I'm still surprised with what happend with Hedo and Portland.
