It puts the lotion on its skin.
tbqh, Spurs frontcourt is so damn terrible that I'm not really in the mood to laugh about the player that were hyped and cut. If Spurs don't do something, one of Blair or Bonner will play a major role for Spurs this year. That's scary...
It puts the lotion on its skin.
Unless they think they can trade for someone later, this is. There's no point in even hoping for a le this season with Bonner/Blair as the first bigs off the bench. Then with Neal as the primary backup PG.....lol.
Par for the course. At least now, they have Diaw, and Splitter plays 20 mins. It was laughable before that - after Dice and before Diaw. So the mystery why Bonner hasn't been playing in pre-season is solved - Pop's been saving him for the regular season since even he must know Matty's choke-ness come April.
Exactly. Curry obviously had his faults, and I don't think anyone was expecting him to be the solution to the Spurs' problems on D. But the alternatives are Bonner and Blair. Or the mystery big that still hasn't been found after 4+ years of searching.
Why not take the chance with curry? What was there to lose?
The D is already . Another ty defender isn't going hurt the team that much more.
new season, same problems.... Blair and Bonner is just fantastic.
And if defense was the issue then why cut Brown? I thought his defense was supposed to be his strength?
Speaking of ty players, why is Josh Powell still around?
he can probably spread the floor...
WOW that was a surprising move
Nobody saw this coming
CIA POP
Spurs is making a trade ! It's Ginger or Blair leaving
Please oh please let this be the case...
Despite whatever offensive promise Curry showed, I didn't think it was enough to win over Pop and staff. He was horrible on defense and his rebounding was very suspect for a guy of his size. Still, the offensive talent that he demonstrated was enticing. He'll catch on somewhere else.
Now the Spurs can go back to their normal cast of undersized, underskilled bigs that surround Duncan - all of which are major defensive liabilities. It's sad the Duncan, at his advanced age, is still the best and only true big on this roster. Damn shame.
now it would be a great time for spurs151 to appear and show some inside info
mother of
They only way I am happy after this is :
1 - Bonner or Blair traded
2 - Spurs signing Kenyon Martin
If SA is doing it to to give Powell or Witherspoon the last spot I will be pissed
That IS the scary part. The Spurs enter yet another season, with nothing else to surround Duncan on the frontline. Does anyone think that Bonner is suddenly going to grow some stones and demonstrate some defensive prowess? Does anyone think that Blair will undergo a growth spurt? Can he be counted on the keep himself in shape through the season? Does anyone think that Splitter will suddenly remain healthy for the entire season? Or that he will solve his mental woes at the FT line? Does anyone believe that Diaw will suddenly become an aggressive player, rather than a passive one?
It's really discouraging.
He actually had a post game, that's why we wanted him. Aside of Duncan there isn't another player that can consistently post up and score, not Splitter (lol), Blair, Bonner, or even Diaw. I really doubt TD will be able to do what he did last season, having another low post scorer to help take the load off him would help tremendously. Curry looked very impressive on offense, especially against a guy like Asik who is one of the best defenders in the NBA, his size made him extremely hard to guard.
Now we're stuck with backup bigs that are just as bad as Curry on defense, if not worse, and that have no post game.
This move is surprising but I think that the front office has plans...
Kenyon Martin is a player Pop likes. If he accepts to sign for the minimum salary, San Antonio could be one of his (or the) best options. He could have minutes and still play for a championship contender. I don't think that a team could offer the same advantages than the Spurs...
And even if the Spurs are keeping the same frontcourt as last season, they can still be one of the greatest teams in the NBA. Starting this season with this frontcourt could be enough to look at opportunities before the trade deadline without have troubles in the playoffs race.
I just wish that Powell won't be kept...
fifyUnless they think they can trade for someone later, this is
This is exactly what i was thinking.
IF we don't make a trade behind this or ... trade Blair and Bonner behind this, I might just kill somebody. SERIOUSLY. Man bruh, it's like we're complacent with having these crackheads on the team just because they come with a cheap contract. WAKE THE UP FO!!!. The Lakers just got Howard you re ed sons of es.
KENYON MARTIN CAN'T ING HOLD DWIGHT HOWARD!!!
Tbh, who knows how those players could've done if they were actually given a chance to play on a consistent basis with the Spurs, just look at Green, without Neal having surgery or Manu getting his hand broken this guy is probably playing in the d league right now and would've joined this list of those players.
Pops Mensah Bonsu has played very well in Europe... He could have been a good move if he was given a chance.
