lol no
The Suns and Pavlovic, acquired from Cleveland in June in the Shaquille O'Neal trade, agreed to a buyout that will save the Suns $500,000 more than they stood to save on simply waiving the guard.
we should sign him and ship fin ass out of here lol
lol no
Finley can still hit clutch shots, and he knows our system. He'll be good in limited minutes.
Hey, did you know Timmy doesn't like to wear suits?
Pavlovic as an extra shooter would'nt be such a bad idea...hmmmm....
I can't believe I agree with you on something but this is 100% right. My guess is he'll be going back to Europe though.
Why would it be the minimum?
He sucks. No thanks.
for the minimum he would be a no brainer IMO. for a LLE contract, he could still be a nice deal and worth the gamble.
yes, he is erratic and unreliable, but his talents and abilities would fit very nice with the Spurs. he has all tools to become a very good solution for a 3rd man in the wing rotation.
and he is one of the players, who I think still could get it, if he falls into the right environment.
remember how problematic a player (and reportedly person) James Posey was till about 26-27? then he met Hubie Brown and a locker room with Shane Battier and Bo Outlaw as the leaders and turned into a very good role player. I see some Posey potential in Pavlovic.
Pop's always liked him.
In the past decade, 334 players (other than Pavlovic) have played as much minutes as Pavlovic in the NBA. Among these 334 players, 329 have a better PER than Pavlovic.
Seriously though, Pavlovic blows. I'd rather keep Finley.
Get that piece of crap out of the Spurs forum a.s.a.p.!
Sure why not! does anyone know how much he's worth?
which tell you what???
that Pavlovic is
a: a very bad player?
b: the PER system is the worst method to judge a player in any sport ever?
so, let's test the PER.....
player A is Sasha Pavlovic
2003/04 79 14.5 MPG PER = 10.4
2004/05 65 13.3 MPG PER = 10.3
2005/06 53 15.3 MPG PER = 6.8
2006/07 67 22.9 MPG PER = 12.1
2007/08 51 23.3 MPG PER = 7.2
2008/09 66 15.9 MPG PER = 8.7
according to the PER system player B is the an even much worse player than Sasha Pavlovic, who managed to deliver worse numbers despite much more played minutes
2003/04 82 32.0 PER = 8.3
2004/05 82 32.0 PER = 9.5
2005/06 82 33.5 PER = 9.2
2006/07 82 30.0 PER = 7.2
2007/08 81 30.3 PER = 7.0
2008/09 80 18.9 PER = 5.4
most here will know who player B is, who according to PER should never have seen a single minute on a NBA court.
but my theory is, that PER numbers should have never seen a single moment on any stat sheet in the world of basketball. it's as useful as John Hollinger as your chief talent scout.
btw. all this of course does not mean that Sasha Pavlovic is any good at all. maybe he would suck also with the Spurs. maybe.
what sucks for sure is the PER. PER is the Jerome James of stats.
Sasha Pavlovic was clutch in like 1 or 2 playoff games his entire career. I'll stick with Fin please.
the knicks should pick him up. they have like no shooting guard.
He wouldn't replace Finley or Mason so that means he'd take either Hairston or Williams spot. I'd rather stick with one of those guys.
PER isn't a method to judge a player, it just summarizes stats.
Bowen greatness was his perimeter defense and it didn't show in his stats. Pavlovic hasn't some kind of hidden skills that doesn't show up in his stats. He is just an average to good defender.
PER or not, Pavlovic has been a bad NBA player so far. He has had a quite good year to get a new contract but that's all.
I can see why you are interested in him. On the paper, a player that is quite athletic, a good defender and a good shooter is a great fit for Spurs. Now, even if his skills are a good fit, I simply think he isn't a good enough.
as I wrote, I would be interested for a small price. then he might be worth the gamble.
I believe he has the talent and the tools. his problems are mostly in the heart and maturity department. that's why I thought a team like the Spurs might be what it takes to make him a decent NBA player. a bit like Delfino maybe, who the Spurs wanted in 2008. (Delfino is the better player overall though).
Well, LLE with the tax cost $4M. It isn't a small price to me.
For the min?
If Pavlovic is fine with being at the end of the bench and if Hairston, Williams and McClinton suck, maybe. Otherwise, no.
