Very soon those who want to see the rebuilding started quickly will get all that and more. Multiple 20-win seasons and drafting Emaka Okafors and Ben Gordons. Yay!
Missing Eddy: Many in the Spurs organization expect Curry, the veteran big man waived by the team Tuesday, will hook on with another NBA squad.
On Wednesday, Curry received one such endorsement from Tim Duncan.
“Eddy had a really good camp,” Duncan said. “I thought he did a really good job. He played well. It was just kind of situational that we couldn’t keep him.”

Meh, the Spurs are just being cheap and going with 14 players into the season, if there is an interesting player cut from some other team late in the season, they will try to pick him up.
If only he could shoot 3's. Seems, All big men not named Duncan must be 3 point shooters in Pops mind.
I just wished for once we could get a big man that actually plays like a big man. Sadly, with this FO, im not so sure that will ever happen.
Splitter's 3s are raining I tells ya.
I guess that explains his lack of consistent playing time
I wonder if it's possible, after cutting players in training camp, to sign the same players with different contracts.
I mean that 'cause we already had some sort of these long and cheap contracts (see Blair, Neal).
In fact, I think that if Spurs have seen something in Curry or Brown worth developing in our system, they could have considered that giving them just a one year deal was not the way they wanted...
Situational...the situation is that Pop is in love with small-ball and the Spurs front-office has flown off their rocker.
Balls! They have to have something else up their sleeve (another big they are about to sign) or Curry still has health/heart concerns. They can't be obtuse to the point that they didn't see the value of surefire post offense.
if i understand what you're asking, the i believe the answer is yes. but sort of. curry's contract was non-guaranteed, so they could basically tear it up at any time. but (and someone correct me if im wrong here) that would put the player on waivers. meaning another team could just pick him up at the same contract. so if he clears waivers, i believe you could re-sign him to a longer or guaranteed contract.
So are Blairs!

Mavs claim Eddy Curry off waivers. Curry cut recently by Spurs.
Figures. He'll probably stick too. Mavs fans seem happy with the move.
Interesting. They needed another big, but they're at capacity. I wonder if this is a prelude to them releasing West.
I'm shocked that Pop let Curry leave. I know he had trouble w/ pick&roll, but he could have learned it as the season went on. Even Timmy said he hated to see him go because he worked hard and was a big guy they needed. I'm starting to believe that Pop doesn't want us to get better because every time we have someone with potential he let's them go. Now Mavs got deeper with Curry. They may not win a le w/ Curry but will give us a hard time. ing Pop, I know that he did this to stick it to the fans and tell us "sorry no championship ever again, just enjoy the playoffs"
If Pop says we're trying to improve that is crap. ing pizza face, go to .
I predict he plays well against us...especially when the Bonner-Blair sandwich is guarding him. Just more salt on the wound...
Western conference teams beefing up to face the Lakers. Good move by the Mavs.
Meanwhile, Spurs only have 2 relatively skinny 6'11" players to hold the middle...
It's not some kind of melting down posts. Spurs roster isn't well balanced at its end with too much guards and not enough size/strength in the paint.
Were talking about Eddy freaking Curry right..some of you people make him out to be a difference maker. He is/was not and was never going to be. The spurs are going to play small ball ALOT this year so we might as well get used to it. Get used to seeing Sjax/Kawhi play alot of 4 and run after every made or missed basket and pop using his bench alot through out the season. This is the spurs and has been the spurs now for quite sometime.
he is a difference make when compared to bon bon.
That should work out nicely when we go up against the Lakers / Thunder / Griz in the playoffs.
I understand what you're saying: It's just the way things are right now. Doesn't mean we have to be happy about it. Curry may have been a longshot to be a productive center, but I'd rather have a longshot option than rely on Bonner/Blair/Splitter again.
The Spurs are the definition of insanity. Same thing, over and over, pretending as if the result is going to be any different. No one has any illusion about what Curry is, but for the minimum and with a spot open, he was clearly a worthwhile project, at least for the time being.
I'm sick and tired of people making excuses for the front office. They could have easily added a beefy center at the minimum, just to have around for depth purposes. Guys like Collins, Milicic, O'Neal, Harrellson, Fesenko and Magloire were all there for the taking (Fesenko technically is currently, though he may have an agreement in principal to re-join the Bulls on November 19th, when they can officially sign him and Magloire is technically still with the Raptors, but will be waived in short order). They must like getting pushed around and embarrassed.
Hopefully waiving Curry is a sign Pop is willing to play Splitter 25-30 minutes and allow him to develop in the post.
Thunder actually beat the spurs once they moved Durant to the 4 so they actually beat the spurs with there own verson of small ball.Lakers, well once the spurs can put together a roster worth 100 mil then the spurs will compete with them on paper..
