1) Will Ratliff get an meaningful minutes under Larry anytime this season?
2) If so, will Ratliff produce anything substantial for the team?
3) If Ratliff does produce, does that mean Pop has lost his touch and needs to hang it up?

I wouldn't put it past Larry to play him. He loves his vets as much or even more than Pop. If Ratliff does end up playing any meaningful minutes, I would say you won't see much different that what you saw in glimpses here. Above average shot blocking, and below average everything else. It's noteworthy that he still looked springy out there. As far as Pop, well, does it matter? I mean, he's not going anywhere anyways.
Bottom Line: I think Pop's strict adherence to "corporate" philosophy leads to the under-use of roster talent time and again.
But will Larry make Pop look like a chump by getting production out of Theo?
Pop is known as a L.B. disciple, will LB show him up with the corpse of theo ratliff?
This thread is really posted so I can bump it the first time Theo gets 10 pts, 8 boards, and 4 blocks for his old coach. Then I will promptly call for Pop's resignation. I'll resort to citizen's arrest if I have to.
Ratliff was the fifth or sixth best bigman on the Spurs. He didn't have a chance to pass the players ahead of him in the rotation. Trading him to save money and open a roster spot was a no-brainer.
I think it's amusing how people over rate the players. If Ratliff was getting substantial minutes and producing the same numbers as Blair or even McDyess then everyone would and saw Pop sucks and he just loves old guys.
Why don't you just state your agenda up front?

Meh, he got 10, 7 and 2 against the Clippers. I don't know if he is going to get a chance to play 21 minutes in a game for the Cats.This thread is really posted so I can bump it the first time Theo gets 10 pts, 8 boards, and 4 blocks for his old coach.

You don't seem to understand that you have absolutely zero effect on the Spurs.
Will you bump this thread the first time he gets a DNP-CD?
If the only posts worth posting were those that had impact on the team, would this board exist?
I would a actually argue that not playing Ian early in the season makes more sense if you absolutely have to have a pet peeve with Pop about who he plays...
My opinion of Pop is based on other guys who have played here with limited production and moved on to star in other systems (e.g. Hedo), as well as good players who came here and tanked (e.g. endless).
I don't disagree with the move at all, dont get me wrong. It benefits us, but I am waiting to see how Larry, who I respect very much, will utilize Theo, who at one time was my dream Spur, and who never saw PT even after showing potential this season. Small ball prevailed in his case, which I think is regretable.
The difference is you act as if your posts and actions will have an impact.
I think not playing Ian is just another example of Pop not trusting young guys, which has led to a lack of young talent on our roster. Even if he is not good enough now, that doesnt mean we cant develop him in limited minutes. Hairston is another. But hey, thats Pop.
its just the way i phrase things. I dont actually believe they have affect. If I believed that I would post alot more than I do
Funny thing, I think the same thing about other posters when I read 60 pages worth of "We should trade <blank> for <blank>...."
1) I understand from a couple of Charlotte fans that I saw post, that all 3 of Charlottes centers (Nazr, Diop, Chandler) are at least temporarily injured. So they see that Ratliff will get some minutes immediately. This may drop off as the injured guys come back.
2) Maybe
3) No. I will admit there are other indications Pop has lost it, but this is not one of them...
u suck
I think the real question here is: Does the Spurs FO owe their fanbase an explanation as to why they made the decision to stand pat after publicly declaring an "all-in" philosophy at the start of the season? I understand if an effort was made and there just weren't any takers, but I would like to hear it from horse's mouth, as it were. Maybe a "state of the union" type response? Anyone?
I think we suffer at the trade deadline, as we have for years, because we have a lack of talent and a glut of role players. No one wants RMJ, Bonner, Finley, Bogans, etc.
The bad part is, before they came and played for Pop, both Dice and RJ were marketable...
, i know...
Who cares?
A thread dedicated to Theo Ratliff?
He's on a team with a better chance at winning a le- good for him.
Thread dedicated to Pop's shortcomings. And Brown being a better coach (yeah I said it)...
