What's the story on Ryan Richards? Is the FO going to bring him over stateside to the Toros at all? All I heard was that someone said RC Buford told reporters that they would leave Richards overseas for a few years to develop his game since he had to have shoulder surgery in the offseason. If this is true, why can't the FO bring him over to Austin this year despite his surgery? Is it the matter of his contract with Gran Canaria?
Can anybody clarify this issue?
If not then just leaving him in Europe because of his impending shoulder surgery is simply incompetent which is an outrage.
?? Richards doesn't want a Toros contract, and the Spurs don't want to pay him to play there on one of their roster spots. The compromise is making decent bank in Europe, hopefully on a better team, and developing into a player that may make the 15 man roster some day. Plenty of Spurs second rounders never make it over here, so don't get too jazzed over him.
Uh oh... Is this the beginning of The Richards Coalition?
An outrage?
Richards isn't worth the tax hit this season. See ya next summer.
Richards has stated he'd rather play in the D-League than play overseas. The Spurs hold all the cards here, whatever they want him to do he will do it.
He also said he would pull his name out of the draft if he was just to be sent overseas again by any potential team (I believe).
The Spurs probably presented him with a plan to get onto the roster. It probably wasn't exactly what he wanted, but was acceptable and included at least one more year overseas, probably 2. Since he is only 19 he will still be very young when comes across the pond.
I think he meant on a Spurs contract, farmed out. You could make more as an office clerk than the d-league pays.
A bit too late for that, isn't it?
IIRC, he's still under contract anyways.
A littel too early for the Malik holdouts to fold, but I believe the Javtokas true believers are about ready to find a new Messiah.
P.S. I meant Malik Rose, not Hairston. The Hairstoniacs have a long way to go before they run out of steam.
Jefferson would like Little Richards
He Should stay over seas For 1 or 2 years..... Then Come over and contribute.... He is only 19... he has alot of basketball still to learn.
I wonder could he play in the D Leauge and then an overseas team the same year?
thats interesting i didnt know that.. i hope he pulls thru and plays in the nba one day.. we went to the same high school and i used to play with him on the courts when he was still pretty young lol.. time flies..
The only problem playing overseas is that once he starts getting good the team he is playing for could offer him a big contract and then we find ourselves same place as Scola and Splitter. Also I don't know if teams would invest in him knowing his dreams are to play in the NBA - I mean would you invest time to a player who could be gone in a year or two?
The issue is that he won't be ready to play until late in the season for the Toros. So that compounds the problem but if the Spurs are paying his bills then you know they like the kid and Pop loves players who are willing to work hard and do what they are told
Also it is not like the kid is wet behind the ears he maybe young but he has been playing pro ball since what twelve years old?
For me I would rather he take a year off hang out in the Spurs place and have him practice with David Robinson.
Why are we even discussing this guy? How many "finds" that are overseas even come and play for the Spurs? You can't count Tony Parker because he did not stay overseas and you can't count Manhimi because he just had 1 healthy year and just sat on the bench. That leaves......two guys (Ginobili) and until this year with Tiago.
We can all go down the list, and see who is still floating out there but only 1 guy in the last 8 years has panned out. Sorry folks, the jury is still out on Tiago. So why even worry about Richards until he is wearing a Spur uniform in November not July in a summer league with a bunch of other wannabees.
Uh, he wasn't in summer league.
The guy is a Nowitzki/Odom type of player (well that's what he bills himself to be). So the extra-weight and post up game may not be as important.
WTF???? Here are your last several poignant posts.

It's asinine. One "s". Unless you are making a subtle reference to my misspelling of it a while back. If that's what you're doing, then well done.

Nice. Edited accordingly.
See, now that's not sooo hard, is it?(hehe, I said "hard")
Hey, go tell Kori to let me start new threads. I have important things to say. The board is missing out. There's a chance that it could translate into an extra couple of losses for the Spurs if I don't get this info out.
after years of having Bonner play center I don't care if he is not going to be Odom or Nowitzki I just want a guy who is taller then Bonner who could play defense and rebound the ing ball!
Oh I fogot to add the word Athletic.......
