McDonald: No Big Baby offer imminent

[DPG21920]

I would like to think that too. But I'm shocked that they are talking to guys like Big Baby and Bass ... so who knows. They could be talking to guys we'd never expect.

Like a man named Haislip?

Like a man named Haislip?

Ha!

Or a draft pick named Ian...

This reminds me a little bit of the summer of 2001. Everyone thought the Spurs were busy trying to hammer out a deal with Derek Anderson. Instead, the Spurs were behind the scenes offering huge contracts to Michael Finley and Doug Christie.

This type of awkward inactivity usually means the Spurs are trying something weird behind the scenes.

Guess we'll find out.

You guys will all poop if the Spurs make the trade for Joel Przybilla. Then they'll be free to sign Marion for the MLE, and every team in the league will have Silver and Black nightmares.

[completely deck]

completely deck needs to hit a dictionary to figure out what jumping ship means. If you are saying timvp was concerned about the prospects of the Spurs blowing their MLE on Big Baby, then he is guilty. And I doubt he was alone or continues to be alone.

And yes, statistically you can compare Big Baby to Bonner as being close to Bonner to David Robinson.

k man. Whatever you say.

Love you anyway

Large sighs of relief .

[johnnyblues]

Screw Dice! Let's go Zaza!

... so who knows. They could be talking to guys we'd never expect.

Even by Spurs standards, this off-season sets the record for secrecy and surpise.

No one knew about RJ until it was done.

No one expected the Blair draft (although that was as much other teams' negligence).

No one can even be sure of the level of interest in Wallace.

Nothing would surprise me at this point. (And whatever it is could happen at any time.)

[Taking it to the Hole]

Kinda strange that we haven't heard anything about Zaza?? I would think Zaza would be ahead of Bass & Davis on the list of potential big men assuming we don't lure Dice away from Detroit.

[GSH]

BTW - the Spurs need to hurry up and commit to whether they will sign Big Baby or not. Krispy Kreme has to make some hiring decisions.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

How surprising it is to be right about that one.

And what an arsehole I must be for pointing it out.

See, this is what happens in a world of news outlets that take Twitter to be fact.

I'd guess it's because no one thinks much of Pachulia.

[DPG21920]

Let it go. More ego stroking.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I really don't want to see who Plan C is in free agency. Just get McDyess to finish this near perfect offseason makeover.

That said, after getting scared with the thought of Big Baby ... Bass suddenly doesn't sound too bad.

Come on LJ... Pop is stepping off that plane at SA International in a couple of days with Tiago in tote...

How is this any more concrete than the original report? McDonald's source is someone near Davis -- not the Spurs or any other team.

They are about equal in believability. One sourced info isn't very credible one way or another. McDonald's last inside info was that Rasheed was coming for a visit.

NO ONE took it as fact. I think you are actually delusional at this point about this topic. People were discussing the POSSIBILITY, not as a fact.

[bigdog]

Sweet baby Jesus, thank you for this news. Please let Dice, Zaza, and even Bass be ahead of Big Dumbass Davis on the list.

[timvp]

Come on LJ... Pop is stepping off that plane at SA International in a couple of days with Tiago in tote...

Wonder how much it cost to get a mariachi band to Spain.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Let it go. More ego stroking.

No, go yourself toolio.

All I was trying to point out the entire time was that it was an extremely unreliable report based on the Twit conjecture of one Boston insider with no reach in the Spurs' organisation, and I got pilloried for it.

I was also trying to make a broader point about a society in which communication has degraded to the lowest common denominator to the point that people believe 160 character opinion grabs which signify nothing, but you willfully ignored that and instead furthered your personal vendettra against me by cherry picking my words and playing dishonest rhetorical games.

So no, you can go yourself.

[Kori Ellis]

Come on LJ... Pop is stepping off that plane at SA International in a couple of days with Tiago in tote...

Well, Pop should be bringing someone back from Europe with him, since he's there playing with Tony in the middle of free agency.

[bigdog]

Wonder how much it cost to get a mariachi band to Spain.

As long as it doesn't cost as much as these idiots paid at Mi Tierra the other night because they were too drunk to realize they had to pay the mariachis Those dumbasses ended up paying at least half a grand on mariachis alone.

[Mr. Body]

I'd take Big Baby over Zaza, if anyone's asking.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

NO ONE took it as fact. I think you are actually delusional at this point about this topic. People were discussing the POSSIBILITY, not as a fact.

If you'd read the thread again you'd see that the vast majority of posters in the thread WERE taking it as fact, which I pointed out a number of times.

Anyway, I don't want to get into this with you. Life's too short.

Fine, I'm a delusional wit. Maybe it's the fever I've been running, who knows.

Peace to all on earth.

Thought I was on your ignore? You just sound pathetic coming at me because my name is not Kori or Timvp. They said the same thing, but you cannot go off on them because you are a . Grow up and quit being a smug prick and maybe people will like you.

LMAO at personal vendetta against you? I hardly ever talk to you.

[ElNono]

Everybody take a deep breath... exhale...
