So, I watched Breaking Bad for the first time tonight and I got to tell you, I'm hooked! Anyone else watch this show? It's amazing.
Adding onto my previous post on big men who have been ping-ponged around the league the past two years....

Props to Presti recognizing size really matters (no ) and giving away is lottery pick for an average 7footer....oh my bad, he was able to get TWO of them.
Anyway i'm done discussing this with homer spurs fans who won't admit the FO dropped the ball these past 2-3 seasons. Everyone who talks about the best record or stats compared to the rest of the league, ya'll are idiots. 25 of the teams aren't contenders. We score the most out of the elites and give up the most points defensively compared to them too..plus we're the smallest. If you don't see this as a problem especially in 7 games series, ya'll are ing morons. Please feel free to re-read my post come playoff time when you're yelling at pop through your tv screen for having bonner go up against bynum or gasol or chandler or haywood or nazr or perkins...props to everyone who agreed with me on my original post too...I'm gonna love other teams screwing pop up the rear with his own championship system of starting 2 seven footers...Go Spurs GO!!

The issue isn't that the Spurs are small and the front office isn't trying to make the team bigger. The issue is, even if the Spurs acquire another big man, Popovich will not play him.
Please never post again.
I haven't seen it yet.
DeAndre Jordan has been in LA his whole career...
I can assure you that your OP will NOT feature in any post of the year vote, if there was one.
Massively flawed list. Some of those guys haven't been available, others are studs we didn't have the assets to acquire, and yet others would be no help to us - you really think Charlie V, Hasheem Thabeet or the return of Nazr would be difference-makers?Also, you say you want a big but then include undersized guys like Hakim Warrick and Carl Landry?
If you're going to make an argument don't use hyperbole and spurious lists to support it - makes you look like an idiot.
The FO clearly believe that Splitter will fill the hole in the frontcourt, and I think he will, but it will probably be next season.
As for this year, all season the current rotation has been getting it done, even in slow-down games against two 7-footers (see LAL games). I think Dice is crucial, and in the playoffs the rotation will feature a lot of him. He's an excellent defender for Dirk, for example.
This team has the flexibility, talent and chemistry to go deep in the playoffs. Just how deep will come down to good fortune.
deandre jordan was drafted in the second round of the 2008 draft. We got hill at #26 and drafted Dragic at #45....deandre was #35......two guards for us, one of whom we traded away
One of the best shows on TV right now.
So, he hasn't "ping-ponged around the NBA" then, has he?
20/20 hindsight is a wonderful thing, but when he was drafted DA wasn't even a lock to make the team.
Yes, if only we had the $200,000,000 per year in cash necessary to sign every player ever to put on a Spurs jersey to a lifetime contract.

So the return of a starting Center who we won a championship with wouldn't help us right now? Bonner and an undersized pf would though right?...please don't reply again.
You forgot to add Dice to that list...
How exactly were we supposed to use the 45th pick to draft a guy selected with 35th pick?
Plus we drafted Dragic for Phoenix and received the 48th pick that year (Hairston) and the 37th pick in 2009 (Blair).
Traded away and got Malik Hairston and another pick who eventually became DeJuan Blair. Clearly a bad trade for us. Especially when you consider that Holt also got cash out of the deal.
You're a moron.
You said Nazr twice.
But if we had that much money we wouldn't have enough roster spots. I propose that in the new CBA we increase the roster maximum from 15 to 50 (with 45 active and 5 inactive).
Oh damn, now there won't be enough minutes for all the players. Ok, we'll play 10 on 10.
hey idiot, it's called "making moves"...so the SMARTEST FO in the league couldn't manage a way to move up in the second round to get a raw/athletic 7footer that some predicted should be a first round pick?....no, they'd rather stand pat and draft ANOTHER euro and trade them away to PHX...who by the way dropped 40 on our ing faces last year during the SWEEP
Why exactly did we let Nazr leave if he's such an asset? The guy has stone hands and lumbers around - he doesn't suit the style of the team any more, and I don't think he's the difference between winning and losing the championship. , he couldn't even hold down the starting job in CHARLOTTE!
Also, don't put words in my mouth, try reading what I actually say, .
is malik hairston's name REALLY coming up in this? talk about homers
I think he wants to have Nazr's babies...
hey , NONE of the bigs besides tim were key to winning the championships. The point is, and always has been...ANY ONE of those guys listed would be an UPGRADE from starting bonner or blair. An upgrade in the front court is what we have been needing for 3 years and I don't think we were aggressive enough in getting one. We signed splitter who pop won't play, and mcdyess who is only 6'9.Why exactly did we let Nazr leave if he's such an asset?

Oberto was 6'9", and we ringed with him starting.
