The Ryan Richards era has begun.
I love Spurs fans.
It's already clear that this team needs to get bigger as evidenced from this cluster of a series. I have more confidence in Ryan's abilities than any other big in that they can draft in the weak draft that's coming up. Even though it is apparent that Timmy is no longer the best player on the team, I do wish that he can stay for a couple of more years to continue to serve as a mentor to Splitter, Blair and hopefully Richards.
With his wide array of skills including post-scoring, 3-pt range, and defensive potential, I believe he will be at least a solid contributor when given the proper amount of minutes. If TP can be brought in at 19, why can't Richards at 20? With the lockout likely to happen, this would be the perfect opportunity for Richards to play for the Toros to finally show us how good he really is, albeit at D-League level.
Bottom line, as of right now, we need three 7-footers on the team. Splitter, an over-the-hill Duncan and an undersized Blair still won't be enough for the next playoffs against the likes of the Lakers, Grizzlies, Thunder, Bulls and maybe even the Celtics. Having Richards in the rotation would accomplish that need, until when Duncan retires, another 7-footer must be acquired. This is no time for patience for prospects and draft-and-stash.

I seriously doubt this guy will make an impact... But I guess throw at the wall and hope that its sticks.
It's on like
Got to send Timmy out the way he sent David Robinson out.....the focus has to be back on defense.
You did ask in the five-step rebuilding plan "What would you do?"
Were you actually serious with that?
You guys are nuts, this guy will not be an impact.
if this guy is the savior uhoh
Can this guy not contribute more than Dice on both ends? I like Dice but he's way past his prime. We need to get younger on the frontline.
The only way he ends up being really good is if we trade him for Dexter Pittman
I agree with you that's why I started the first thread.
Follow him on twitter!
@RE_RICH
The same was said of Tony and Manu you don't know and like someone said throw it on the wall and see if it sticks. If it don't work then it is not like we loose anything..........well other then the loss of HOPE...lol
We'll see if there is a D-League season without the NBA. Very preliminary indications are there will be, but that far from a lock. If so, Richards could be a Toro if he's drafted by them or traded to them on draft day.
Richards thinks he's Matt Bonner.
Tbh, I have more confidence in Richards than Splitter being more useful offensively to the Spurs for the simple fact that no matter what, Richards can shoot a jumper, and hit free throws.
He is not under contract with the Spurs. If he were, he would be locked out just like all other NBA players. As an unsigned draft pick, he would conceivably be able to sign a contract with the D-League and enter their draft.
Richards may not be close to ready . . . but neither is Bonner. I'd rather watch Richards screw up as a rookie then see Bonner on the court ever again.
Nah - we still got three more years of the Bonner Era.
, Richards to the rescue....This guy is a proven player,
AMEN! I can't take another post season of watching Bonner throw up bricks or watching Hill look like a deer in the headlights or watching our 6"6 center sit on the bench cause gee he is to short!
Richards will become The Savior version 10.0 or is it 11 or 12. I think I lost count. lol
He might have an impact but we will never know because Pop will not play him,
I THINK SPLITTER WILL PLAY BETTER NEXT SEASON...IF THERES A NEXT SEASON PLUS I LIKE SPLITTERS DEFENSE
