Ford is a Free Agent this summer. Would be solid as a backup.
I'm pretty sure it's over and he'll be a free agent.

no way ...
I will miss George and will watch more Pacers games next season (if he stays there and if there is a season of course) ...
naww that..
we could've used AJ abrams even..
i know who cory joseph is.. but he's not nba ready.. not by a long shot.. there's no way he's going to fill hill's void.. no fkn way
You get the feeling that the Spurs had no doubt that Joseph would be at 29 and that allowed them to trade Hill for Leonard.
All things being equal, they might not have drafted Joseph that high but after trading Hill, they had overpay for Joseph (and felt the Leonard deal was so good, drafting Joseph at 29 was a small price to pay).
Very small price to pay. I doubt he would have fallen too much further like everyone claims too.
Exactly, West is a scrub. That's just stupid.
19, freshman
they say Cory should have stayed in school, at least for one more year.
right.
but does this increase the chance of the Spurs to get him?
no!
if he stays and he is one of those players, who explode in the 2nd year, then he would be out of reach next year. (remember Russell Westbrook?)
he wouldn't become our 1st back up anyhow. also not if he had another year of experience. Spurs will sign a vet in the JV mold, CJ will be the 3rd PG and spend most of the year in Austin. (doesn't even need to move)
yes, for his development it would be better to stay in school.
not for the Spurs if they feel he has it.
RC sounds very high on him. Spurs definitely saw something in him. The next step for Spurs would be to sign a cheap vet PG, Earl Watson is my pick in case Cory Joseph isn't ready as a rookie to step up as the backup PG. Trying Neal at backup PG with Manu alongside him to help him a lot is also an option worth being considered.
we dont need NEAL to be ala MASON V.2 with the ball handling, lets not expand his duty on this team in areas his not accustomed to....prefer him to be deadly shooter then that ball handling point forward...
exactly.. i mean neal is a good player but giving him ball handling responsibilities to me is just laughable
with an inexperience backup pg, looks like spurs going to sign a vet pg....quinn? lmao
But AJ Abrams is?
GEORGE HILL IS NOT A PG....dam sons.... yea he was pretty good on D and can
occasionally hit some shots, but all that is expendable....Gary neal IMO is a better shooter and can play descent D...Lenoard will provide some good D when needed..joseph will get better guranteed and will back up parker when needed.....dam bunch of homers!!! Im a spurs fan for life, but i'd rather see Hill go then parker, because you cant replace another player like Parker whereas Hill is replacebale.... if you say otherwise...you must not know basketball.
yes.. as a longhorn.. aj was a better pg than cory..But AJ Abrams is?
Abrahams had to shoot for Texas. Joseph had plenty of other options.
For the rest, it does not matter what you or I think where a player can be had. The Spurs liked the kid at that spot in their evaluations. He is the son of a coach. He is clearly very tough minded and tough defensively. And he is 19. He plays with the Toros and we will see. Maybe he actually makes the team but I dont see it this year.
We are very spoiled about thinking we can pick up a sure thing at #29... ?Manu and Tony are not going to happen in todays drafting unless you are very, very lucky.
Tristan Thompson and Joseph were probably the smartest players on the Texas team. I pity Portland for thinking they can reteach Jordan Hamilton. They got infected thinking he might be like Aldridge... On the other hand, Barnes does not teach basketball, so they might be able to do something with Hamilton. Hard to work with a Bball IQ of zero though.
We had Joseph in our own back yard. I'm not sure why so many people are dissing this pick. As I said before, even if Bertans was ranked higher than Joseph, the Spurs still got Bertans in the 2nd round and they can use the 1st round guaranteed money on a player who is more ready to play right away.
His talent is pretty obvious if you took time to watch the Horns play this year.
True.
He was a very undersized 2 that had to handle the ball too much.
Hill's void is being filled by Neal/Anderson. Hill wasn't a PG and didn't even backup Parker full-time at that position. Manu ran the second team more then Hill did.
Great another NBA'er to bang Lebron's mom
But you can rest assured that it WILL happen. In fact, Pop gave some occasional minutes at that spot very late in the season, in spot duty.
I hope it doesn't continue.
Nah, they'll probably sign another point guard.
hey chris
but srsly.. the only knock i hear about abrams is him being undersized.. yes i agree he's an undersized pg but i just don't see how cory is so damn good that he'd make it as a 1st round pick right now.. i guess i'll have to wait a year or 2.. i just put aj as a comparison because noone drafted him yet his resume even from year 1 was much better than joseph's
I'm still rofl at you cracking on him last night minutes before the Spurs drafted him.
can he run the pick and roll
