Both teams did well in that trade.. Spurs fans are quick to dismiss Hill but he fits in perfectly with the Pacers..
Bottom line , Pacers wouldnt be in the Play offs if it wasnt for hills contributions !

That sounds so convincing. Not.
Between you and Hoops Czar, I can't decide whose takes are worse. You both were terrible regarding Leonard.
Can't deny that, and my credibility took a huge hit with that (esp with the Singleton take, who's been nothing short of awful). Still rather have zero credibility than be a front office cheerleader afraid to offer criticism.
Hoops Czar taking weiners to the dome.

I have, so your having zero credibility must be that much worse for you.
LOL no you don't. You latched onto every single concievable excuse when Splitter was in Pop's doghouse for 2+ years. You are a popsucker and don't pretend otherwise.
I said exactly what the Spurs had to do to have Splitter and Duncan to play together. turns out I was right. The two players commented on their learning to play together recently. Posted in this very forum.
But since you brought up zero credibility and Splitter, let's see them combined in a classic post:
So what did you say and when. I want a quote and a link. And not something posted yesterday.![]()
We had a discussion about it in another thread.
You posted in it.
Don't you remember?
Good point on the spacing, Chumpy. I don't think anyone would have guessed that. I think you owe it to yourself to have a truffle for that nugget of wisdom. On spurstalk.
And.. um.. erm... and I think Duncan for the most part was already parked out on the perimeter during the 2+ years where Splitter watched from the bench while Pop started a 6'5" trash can with no knees and not much more brains. Oops, fail.
I didn't say it was a revelation, it was merely an accurate prediction.
Your predictions on Splitter and Leonard though ---- you couldn't have been more wrong.
Do predictions like that make you question your own basketball IQ?
Ahh.. so you're saying Pop couldn't have implemented Splitter any sooner than he did in the way you "predict". Oh right... because you agreed with all 10000 excuses Pop made.

Eh, Duncan and Splitter said all that needed to be said on the subject -- but I'm sure you think they are both full of . Obviously your take is superior to theirs, as you have demonstrated over the years with takes like yours on Splitter and Leonard.
[emoticon]
Nice try moving the goalposts though.
Eh... I wouldn't go so far as to say their full of . It's just media fluff, nothing more, nothing less. You'll have to do better to convince me that investing heavy minutes into a 6'5" guy with eroding knee tissue for 2+ years as the teams' starting center was superior to putting those same minutes into a legit sized big with no health issues who was showing raw potential in the limited minutes he was recieving. Doesn't really matter what I said about him back when he was playing in Europe, everyone (including me) saw the potential he had his first couple games a spur. But I know you will never bother to look up and find those quotes.
So go ahead.... put up your lame quote from 2008 or whatever... whine about goalposts and ad hominems...it's always the same song and dance with you.
They were direct quotes from Duncan and Splitter.
You are going so far as to say they are full of .Of course it does.Doesn't really matter what I said about him back when he was playing in Europe
Just like you said Leonard would be a bust before he ever played a game as a Spur.
You want it to not matter so badly because you were so stunningly wrong. Tough . Watch more than one YouTube before declaring someone a bust, scout.
Eh.., I'm not too upset with a few impromptu off the cuff speculations that didn't hit the mark. Those were first impressions, more or less.
Eh, they were definitive statements judging the entire NBA careers of players you had never actually seen play basketball.
If you really wanted people to believe they were impromptu and off the cuff first impressions, you probably shouldn't have repeated them so loudly and so often.
lol Singleton
"Nba careers".. try "european prospect" and "collegiate sop re".
"Loudly".. Try investing in some sound proofing in your mom's basement. If you're still hearing me "loudly" you may even consider seeking some pychiatric care at the nearest facility.

You were giving definitive predictions about the NBA careers of both. What part of that do you not understand?
Figure of speech. You know what you did: continuously . Man, you're having a lot of trouble with even the most basic concepts. Maybe you are really mentally challenged."Loudly"..

I'll apologize if you are. Just let me know.
