Any player that's tough. This nice guy act (Bonner, RJ, Hill) has made us so soft.
What are your opinions on what type of players the Spurs should attempt to draft?

It won't matter, Pop won't play them when it counts anyway, there's no way they can acquire enough 'corporate knowledge' by the playoffs.
We'll still be treated to Dice, Jefferson, and Blair when it counts.
Definitely size. We only had on SF and that was RJ, who disappeared after December. The team will be nuked this summer.
We can't afford to stash anymore. Lets draft a kid with alot of upside and hope for the best. This draft sucks.
Someone that is bigger than 6 4
I have a feeling that Blair, Hill and RJ are going to be gone next season.
Neal, Bonner may be gone as well....
The real problem is Duncan.......FOR GOD SAKES DUNCAN OPT OUT YOUR CONTRACT TAKE LESS MONEY CAUSE YOUR CLEARLY NOT WORTH THAT MUCH ANYMORE.....AND GET A POST SCORER...
This team is done. We need 6 or 7 tough players instead of the weak Bonner/Hill/Jefferson supporting cast
Another hall of famer and franchise player in one.![]()
I'm sick of the "classy" bull man. Forget that , we need tough tenacious players who aren't afraid to get nasty, we need defenders, we need agitators, we need players who dunk the ball hard and yell at the top of their lungs when successful. The Spurs are an old kind english gentleman amongst a league of warriors.
Draft a new coach ours has
One that can make the roster, which is going to be pretty tough with how hideous this draft is.
Unless a lockdown, defensive-minded SF is on the board (a la Chris Singleton), then they MUST go with size. They need to spend their pick on the best low-post player that is left on the board @ #29.
Maybe the Spurs can draft a time machine, go back and bring back Bruce Bowen and David Robinson in their primes, or close to it.
I would package both Hill and Blair for the Spurs to get a higher draft pick.
This is a complete rebuild at this point. It may be 2-3 years to get this going upward again.
Major changes are coming soon, but not without A LOT of pain.
Sounds good, but you know Pop would have fit with a player if he did this. Remember when he yelled at Blair for dunking and doing that last season? Pop called it showboating
Yeah, and it HAS to happen next season. The Spurs absolutely have to be in the lottery to get in on this draft class for next year. Davis, Rivers, Barnes, Sullinger, Gilchrist, McAdoo, Teague, Kabongo, Jones III, maybe even Miller... they have to find a way to get a top 10 pick. If the Spurs win more than 30 games next season it's going to be really bad.
Sounds good. This pending rebuild will require some bold, but drastic steps. This would be a good step.
Also, it's time for a philosophy shift. The Spurs have still been getting outquicked and outhustled by quicker defensive teams. Heck, they can't even bend over to retrieve loose balls or scrap for those 50-50 plays.
That said, the FO needs to invest in higher-skilled, athletic players, with length, which fit their system. Instead of the shorter, slower, unathletic types they've fancied in the past.
Unless they get Singleton or Honeycutt, I'd rather they package the pick on a trade with Blair and Jefferson.
I wouldn't do that for this weak draft..... but this summer's weak draft will be followed by 2012 strong draft.... I'd do anything to move up in that draft
Whatever the Toros need...
Most likely another 6'2 shooting guard that spaces the floor and will need to get over himself while playing overseas...
I wonder what Jack McClinton is up to these days..
