Anderson's d
malik will have a spot on this team, rj sucks no way he will get better this year no way rj give his sopt to gee or malik
Anderson can play the 2 and Hariston the 3.
So you'd rather fill a positional need over picking the best player available? Particularly when the two players in question are similar in size? I know Pondexter is a true SF and Anderson a true SG, but still.
Ideally, I'd like to see another prototypical SF on the roster, but we just saw the Celtics come within' a few plays of winning a championship with 6-4 213 T. Allen backing up Pierce. Obviously, their SF duo is better than the Spurs, but in terms of size, they're similar. Pierce is 6-6 230, Jefferon is 6-7 225 and Hairston is 6-6 (really 6-5) 220. At times, the Lakers had Bryant (6-6 205) playing backup SF. The Magic had 6-6 210 Pietrus backing up at SF.
Having prototypical size at the 2 and 3 is not a huge need during these times in the NBA. We just need players that can fill a need for the team. 3 point shooting seemed like the biggest need for us this past year in the playoffs IMO. Ginobili seemed to be the only player we had who could knock down 3's on a consistent basis. After his nose was broke we could forget about him knocking down shots. Then we had to rely on George Hill shooting our 3's... and sorry but he is not a great 3pt shooter. I don't care if Anderson's an inch too short to satisfy all the naysayers. If he can knock down 3's, he has a place on this team.
We had no real depth last season and guys like Mason and Bogans got minutes as a result. Anderson makes perfect sense as a Mason replacement. Also we need to limit Manu's minutes in the regular season.
We do need another true SF but you cannot solve all the problems with pick #20 in the draft. Maybe we will just pick up the best available SF from the pool of FA. A trade is another possibility, or we could stick with Hairston. In order to improve the depth from last season we only need an improvement over Bogans.

lol Alabi
lol sources
What are you talking about? You never mentioned Anderson when citing your "sources". You also said they would take only take Crawford if they moved TP and that they were ready to settle for James, Alabi and Orton. From here it looks like you are 0-4.
lol sources
lol D-1 college player

I'm honestly wondering why some of you compare Anderson to these scrubs?
So your sources were wrong? If that's true why didn't you say that initially? What about James? Oh, and that report you are talking about was released at the beginning of June...and you cited your so called sources less than a week before the draft.
You guessing Anderson in the draft thread means nothing. If anything it proved that you have no sources and you were just throwing a bunch of names out there hoping you'd get one right.
So once again...lol sources. But hey, I'm sure you and Larry had a nice time taking turns pitching and catching after it was over.

We essentially have Tony, Hill, and Manu.
Look at it as Anderson replaces Mason.
And if anyone thinks Hairston or Gee are on Anderson's level, they aren't paying attention.
You're right, we don't need prototypical size at the 3. It's not like teams like Phoenix and LA have destroyed us at that position for the last several years...
exactly no more Bogans, Udoka type guys at 6'5. I only want 6'7 or taller players to fill out the rest of the roster.
Agree, I have no problem with Gee or Malik as a 5th wing but we need a true small foward off the bench
I just caught this. You were with Larry Sanders? Pics or it didn't happen.
I'm not saying for certain that the Spurs won't sign an SF, but I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't. In Anderson and Hairston, they have ready made Mason and Bogans replacements, only they're younger, cheaper, more athletic and have a higher upside. All things that fit the direction this team is going, at least in the bottom half of the roster.
Even if they sign an SF for the minimum, considering they're a tax paying team, they'd be paying double the salary for a player that would likely be used sparingly.
The Spurs know that there's a good chance that they'll have to pay Splitter the full MLE long term, they're already a tax paying team and even with him signed, they'll still need a fifth big. Which is another reason they may not sign a veteran SF.
Because of their financial situation and their need to get younger, cheaper and more athletic, as well as the fact that they've spent two years developing Hairston, spent a decent amount to pry Gee away from the Wizards and managed to have a ready-to-play shooter/scorer fall into their laps in the draft, I've got to believe that barring highly underwhelming performances in Summer League from Hairston and Gee, that they're content to go with a combination of Hairston, Anderson, Ginobili and Gee backing up Jefferson at SF.
I think they break camp with fourteen, maybe even thirteen players on the roster. I don't see them paying even a minimum salary veteran SF just to have insurance at the position. What I could see them doing is signing a wing to a non-guaranteed contract. Possibly a veteran, like D. Mason did last summer or a young player like Anderson (Antonio).
pics or it didnt happen
So now Anderson was a lottery pick? Lmao. This is just a cop out so you can backpedal out of the fact that you never even mentioned him when you cited your sources. Anderson was at 20 in DX's mock and 23 NBADraftnet and was easily in range for the Spurs the whole time. You need to stop listening to Bilas.I didnt report anderson, although I did pick him correctly because the Spurs and everyone else in the draft thought Anderson would be gone.....Should I have reported the Spurs had Wall on thier board? They did but he was not falling to 20 just like Anderson was not expected to so I reported what I heard and later on draft night Ford reported the same people minus Orton.
I was talking about Orton. You said that your sources said the Spurs might draft him well after the reports of his knee came out. lol sources.The report you are talking about???? Im unsure but Alabi has tested for a med condition that may shorten his career and that was released to the teams 24 hours prior to the draft. Why do you think the 22 best player fell to 50??? It is said to be a major illness.
More cop outs. By the way, which one are you?I offer up what I hear because I thought this to be a place where true spurs fans come to give imput and share thoughts. Take what I say for what its worth, not here to spend time debating trolls.
As for your request for pics, you dont even know what I look like so how could I prove that to you, I could just get larry with anothe dude and say thats me.......I played on the guys team for 2 years, so I dont need to go around posting picks of him and me together.
If you want to meet him he loves extreme pizza on Broad St in Rich VA....Look him up.
