Big Baby to San Antonio? Grant Hill to Boston?

[scottspurs]

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

And Tim Duncan never shows any emotion?

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

Don't be an arse. Gordon, Charlie V, Wallace haven't signed yet either, so that means they are not going where they have said they are going? You can be such a tool.

People have been reacting as if this is a done deal is my point, and it's NOT. There is not one word from the Spurs about this, nor even a respected scribe quoting a relevent source.

This entire thread, fun as it has been, is based on one stupid ing tweet in which Tanquaray said "the Spurs could be after Davis", which was repeated soon after by the Boston Globe and Fox-wank North-East. That is my bloody point. All of this is based on not one concrete bit of evidence coming from the Spurs or anywhere in the vicinity of San Antonio. It's all heresay and conjecture, yet most of the posters in this thread treat it like it's gospel.

So, no, there's obviously no new evidence to suggest this is ACTUALLY HAPPENING.

[Kori Ellis]

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?

Why is it killing you that people are discussing it?

People discuss things here that are just fans' ideas for free agent pickups or trades. That's what message boards are for.

We get .. you don't believe that the Spurs are even looking at Big Baby, but you have been here long enough to know that people discuss POSSIBILITIES (both far fetched and likely) on the board. That's what the forum is for in the off season.

And as far as more evidence, no, nothing other than McDonald saying that the Spurs have been courting Big Baby and Bass.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

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

Oh really, Mr Goody Two-Shoes? No .

I am not trying to police the thread, I was enquiring as to whether or not any actual evidence has turned up yet, which it clearly hasn't.

You miss the point by about 15,000miles half the time you post.

[scottspurs]

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 wouldn't mind this signing if Rasho was brought back to fill the height need ... i doubt McDyess would still be attainable in the event that the Spurs sign Big Baby. i haven't watched Rash play since he was with the Spurs, but going by comments made here, i'm guessing he can still be productive.

a big rotation of

C: Timmy/Mahinmi/Rasho
PF: Big Baby/ Blair

is pretty damn good

Not to mention you like to stroke your own ego and repost all the things "you said" looking for props "I get no respect". Just shhh.

No Kori, I have no problem with the discussion. At no time have I said that I have a problem with the discussion. , I've been involved in the discussion. The discussion is a good thing. I came back into the thread to ask whether any actual evidence had cropped up, then DPG misinterpreted what I said, so I set him straight.

I also never said I don't think the Spurs are looking at Davis - they may well be for all I know. My problem is with a tweet becoming gospel, rumour turning into "fact" (until 24 hours later when actual facts come out and it is either proven or disproven). It doesn't really matter in the context of basketball I guess, but I have a problem with the evolution of media - so much of what is now stated by media as "fact" is actually conjecture and bull , later proven to be so, and in other contexts this can have devastating consequences. Really, my reaction is to the general trend of taking rumour to be fact.

Okay, so there's no more evidence, thanks. I'm eagerly awaiting some one way or the other. The other thing about rumour turning into fact is that once the rumour is out of the bag, it's hard to actually find the facts amongst the bull . I guess someone will start a thread when there is actual confirmation either way, so I'll leave it at that.

you are so sick bro

Evidently I was not the only one to "misinterpret" your statements. Which is why Kori posted what she did along with others. Just let it go. That is extra funny coming from me

Sorry, "people"? Which people? You are the only one. You took what I said on page 21:

"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?"

and then twisted it into me objecting to the thread, which IS NOT THE CASE, which Kori then picked up on and had a go at me for.

YOU missed the point buddy boy, and half the ing posters around here have told you to STFU today so you hardly have a leg to stand on.

No, you came back in here to be condescending to anyone who would still be discussing this farfetched rumor from someone that you consider to be such an unreliable source. I am not sure if you read what you write, but this thread is FULL of examples of you talking down to people. And maybe if that's not what you are meaning to do, that's why people are "misinterpreting" what you say.

My problem is with a tweet becoming gospel, rumour turning into "fact" (until 24 hours later when actual facts come out and it is either proven or disproven).

No one has said it was a fact. It's impossible to be a fact at this point -- he can't sign yet.

Try addressing the whole post, dip .

Show me where I objected to the discussion. As I said, I have participated in the discussion all day. I understand that this is what ST is for.

You use the very clever debating tricks of: using strawman arguments (taking what someone else has said and twisting its meaning), and picking small, isolated parts of an argument and answering only those premises without addressing the whole. You think it's clever but anyone with a brain can see straight through it.

Try answering a straight question with a straight answer next time, or STFU.

You mean 2 people out of the thousands of posters today?We had a debate about basketball and the topic in the thread. LMAO at you sons. At least we were talking about basketball. You talk about nothing. You want to be a mod, just ask.

But I will let you slide tonight. It is not easy knowing we are going to have a Big Baby. Let it soak in. No more responses to you unless it is topic related tonight.

[DesignatedT]

HA. or the intern PA guy. B-B-B-B-B BIG BABYYYYY


i can already see it. game 7 of the finals 10 seconds left and pop runs the old reliable. pick and roll with finley and big baby

thousands?

[poeticism707]

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.

+1000.

As long as Davis has the green light to shoot the 15 footers ALL YEAR LONG FROM GAME 1, he'll be a great pick up for the Spurs for only the MLE. So when the playoffs roll around, he'll keep shooting just like he has the second half of the season and playoffs with Boston.

At 24, with how much intensity he has, and how much he's improved already, and at 6'9 (measured in shoes pre-draft), you could hardly ask for a better pick up for the MLE.

Not to mention, ON PICK AND ROLLS, THE SPURS ONLY PLAY, HE'LL HAVE THE ROOM TO SHOOT AS MUCH AS HE WANTS, PRACTICALLY.

Based on his past performances, he'll deliver. Defensively, which includes hedging picks and especially on ball defense, he'll deliver.

No actually, I didn't. I wanted to know if more evidence had turned up, as I asked. I'm as keen as anyone to know who our next starting big man is going to be, but I'm not going to jump to conclusions about it. I want facts. Since this is a thread all about it, I would have thought anything that turns up would be reported in here.

Oh, for sake, "It's impossible to be a fact at this point -- he can't sign yet." Come on Kori, that's just bull and you know it. Has any reliable source confirmed that this is happening? No. Fine. Leave it at that.

[Shastafarian]

Oh you betta respek ya'll. Other wise I'm gonna have to *snap snap* smack a .
