    ive heard a bit about Mahinmi's nightlife from certain sources which makes me wonder if that has anything to do with why pop refuses to play him.

    I'd say that Theo Ratliff is better defensively, but, I'm not gonna get into a drawn out disagreement or anything.
    I would agree with you on that. Let's just say... out of the players actually being played...

    OK, lets look at it this way. What do you think of a manager that always blames the employees when production fails?

    Now, would you rather work for the guy above or the manager that takes the blame and protects his employees?

    The players are human. You don't have to read a players mind to know that they will react to what is human nature.

    The same guy that took a huge PR bullet for the Spurs players back in 97 when he fired Bob HIll?

    Yeah I can't see how Manu Parker and Duncan love the guy.

    OUt of the players that play?

    I don't know about basketball, but I think McDyess plays better D than Bonner, but, again, I thought Rasho Nesterovich was way too bagged on in his time in SA too..

    Or a Mason/Finley for Salmons

    With Finley coming back in 30 days. (Pop's deal breaker)
    I don't think Pop could live without Finley for 30 days.

    In fact, this trade (assuming Salmons isn't in it, which I've assumed all along) will actually increase Finley's role. He'll be the 10th man in (at least for now) a 10 man rotation and will no longer have to battle Mason for the 10th man/spot up 3-point shooting wing off the bench role.

    not sure if thats it, money mase is always at Posh, and has walked out on his tab more than once. He still gets minutes. He fires up too many Steve Nash fast break 3s. Hes not Steve Nash tho.....

    Mason wants out?
    By Jeff McDonald

    In his final media interview before heading into the All-Star break, guard Roger Mason Jr. re-iterated his desire to remain a Spur.

    "I want to be in San Antonio for my career," Mason told me after the Spurs' victory in Denver on Thursday. "I want to win a championship here. That would be the ultimate."

    Now, according to his agent, Mason wants to be traded.

    Strange days, indeed.

    Just curious, how many other players in the Pop era have asked for trades? I get the feeling not many. So on the outside looking in, Mason is pretty much an easy going player, what does this say about Pop. It's pretty obvious his choice of lineups and style the past couple of years stinks. Maybe this will knock some sense into Pop somehow. Really Finley?! Why does Pop feel obligated to turn the Spurs org into a retirement home despite the lack of production from these guys. I just hope we get a decent player out of the trade and he makes a positive impact for the team. Pop will probably bench the guy, since he "doesn't know the Spurs system", BS.

    To suggest that someone else would have definitely won 4 les with Duncan's roster to me is crazy, given that like 7 guys in total have coached an NBA Championship team in the last 30 years.

    The problem imo has not been Pop or his coaching. It has been Pop/RC and roster construction. Have not adjusted to new rules that limited their defense-first scheme, and consequentially have not surrounded Tim/Tony/Manu with the right players.

    Monday morning GMing is always easy, but again, did anyone EVEN YOU think Richard Jefferson and Antonio McDyess would've played this bad?

    Those guys being dissapointing along with Parker being limited because of injuries.

    That and Pop seemingly for some reason ignoring what worked in the past.

    He's done it more than once, but I'm not the master of the internets and would have no clue how to bring up quotes, but I remember times that he's said he's screwed up.

    Again though, does that equal out the loss if he says "I ed up"?

    Seriously..

    Bonner/Mason/Mahinmi for Batum

    Is it feasible or not?
    Not if that punk-ass, Portland GM has anything to say about it - and he does.
