Wow, what an original trade it is?
You'd think someone would have more to do in their life than create new accounts and start dumbass threads.
Wow, what an original trade it is?
Good God. Not again!
It's amazing that this ridiculous prospect and ongoing fascination with the "Big Fat Ass", the "Big Chemistry Killer", "the Big Fraud", simply wont die.
Just to be nice:
If it wasn't Shaq, I would say that it is an interesting idea, but I have no interest in shaq.
I have a feeling this is not the last Shaq thread.
Shaq for the LLE Would be Good.... But Anything more then that, then NO!
Can we bring back the twin towers?
I know it is going to cramp development of Splitter and even Blair, the team will definitely hit the luxury tax. But, for this team to challenge the Lakers or Heat, it'll need more than the rookies it signed up. Besides, Duncan has two more years and based on the Suns series, he isn't what he used to be. Let's get real folks, Duncan and Ginobili have only 2 more years of gas left, unfortunately, these 2 years have the toughest compe ion we have ever seen.
Is the gamble to sign Shaq worth it?
To elaborate on my previous post...
The Spurs should reject Shaq if he does not agree to all of the following:
1) No guaranteed minutes. No guarantee that he will even suit up. He is the 6th big - there for situational roles and injury backfill.
2) Nothing more than the veteran's minimum. Period.
3) Shut the up for two years.
If he can agree to the following then ok I guess. sign up Allen Iverson and Tracy McGrady under the same conditional terms.
John Martyn once wrote a song about the shape Shaq is in these days:
Good God! Not again.
These constant Shaq threads are much like gray hairs - everytime you think you've gotten rid of one, there is another to take its place.
If by Twin Towers, you mean 9/12, then yeah, Shaq would go a long ways in that direction.
I agree except for (2) being not likely. 2 years, $5 million/year, team option on 2nd year more like it.
Shaq wants more than the vet min (which is probably why he hasn't been signed yet), and he'll want to start. Duncan and Shaq starting together is a recipe for disaster. Who's going to guard the athletic PFs? Duncan will get run ragged chasing around guys like Dirk, Bosh, Amare, etc. Shaq getting any significant minutes will also impede Splitters progress.
A blind fat re ed kid can defend the pick n'roll better than Shaq. No thanks.
Good point.
if hes coming off the bench then he wouldnt be defending alot of pick and rolls, i think if we got him we can get our best pick and roll defender and shaq out there to slam bodies on the ground, we need some muscle to keep up with the massives in this league
NO, NO, and NO! Please stop it with the Shaquille O'Neal posts. There is a reason he is not signed yet. He is not good anymore. He is old, fat, and slow. Yet he is ego is as big as ever. The Spurs have always been a well coached, play as a team, and play D sort of team. Shaq isn't a team player, never has been, never will be. Besides, he can hardly move on the court anymore, he sits under the hoop and fouls more than anything. I don't want him in San Antonio, and I don't think Pop wants him either.
One guy's feet are in cement, the other's is in quick sand at this point. Bad idea.
Tim's still flexible to get rebounds that DON'T just bounce to him but Shaq pretty much needs them to land in his hands.
I hate to say this, (Really hate to say this) but Tim is really a shadow of his older self and it seemed like it happened over night. 2 seasons ago he suited up for shoot around and had NO strength in his knee. He couldn't play that game. Up to that point he looked fine. Ever since, he's been good, not great. His game completely digressed last year. His defense was awful and his FT's got even worse.
This team cannot be built around him anymore. The best power forward who ever played the game is now human and perhaps not the best player on our own team.
yeah wtf is with the daily shaq threads? Jesus!
Kori should close them immediately, in fact she should make it a ST rule - no Shaq to the Spurs threads.
slam bodies... good.
so you give up on achampionship in the next two years?
Again?
Fat Shaq is not coming to the Spurs unless he can take a pay cut and curb his ego which we know he can't.
