No one seems to be interested in Metta. Not even any speculations about him.
Here was the other quote from 2 weeks ago:
Granted they did make the trade for Daye, but not really an impact for this season.
Also in regards to bringing over a Euro vet; he would have to have some familiarity with the Spurs system and/or had previous NBA experience, if you are going to bring him in this late in the season.

Good, maybe he will retire gracefully into the sunset, although I doubt it.
Does he have anything left? He showed flashes of promise, but I haven't seen him do anything worthwhile in years.
He has nothing. Those flashes were few and far between, and as he aged, the fewer the flashes. He's done, get the fork.
Pop doesn't want to deal with the other "Malice at the Palace" knucklehead even though that was eons ago. And even though we have a fetish for old s, his baggage just isn't worth it.
Antwan baby?
Do you blame him?
I wouldn't want to either.
I imagine the same goes for the rest of the league.
Jax was bad enough and now some idiots on here want Artest, er I mean bugga bugga world piss.
No, I don't blame him at all.
Some idiots, huh?
It's not as if Artest has been praised for being an extremely loyal teammate, right? It's not as if Artest hasn't stated that the Spurs are his favorite team outside of LA, right? OR that Duncan is the best big in the league, right?
You watch too much ESPN.
Young players and dumbass coach at OKC are prime targets for rogue vets to push around, not gonna happen with the Spurs.
I never watch that pisspot channel, not even when the Spurs play, but obviously you do.
Nice response. My favorite part is how you refute and counter the things that I state that make your comment look silly.I never watch that pisspot channel, not even when the Spurs play, but obviously you do.
Maybe if you responded with his injuries this year or his drop in production scoring (although not a huge drop off) you'd have a point. Instead, you argue something that you clearly know nothing about.
But you'd rather have Ayres or have Joseph guarding Durant at the end of a game

At least I don't push for a washed up insane head case to do it.
So you are stating you would rather have Ayres/Bonner play as the fourth big off the bench rather than Artest? & you would rather have Ginobili/Belinelli come in the starting line-up come playoff time than Artest or be pressed to have to guard Durant at the end of a game?
I mean, Ginobili did solid on Durant during the first half, but it took all of his energy to guard Durant and he wasn't productive on offense. We need another 3 off the bench, and it's really between World Peace, or a bunch of DL scrubs.
Well only play our 3 bigs come playoff time. Leonard will play some minutes at 4 vs OKC when they go small. Leonard will guard Durant primarily with Green getting some time and Manu playing very little spot minutes on him.
Sounds reasonable to me, certainly a sight better than relying on a broken down player in body and especially in mind.
Geez, this isn't rocket science.
Exactly. We all know the 8 MAYBE 9 man Playoff rotation is set. Parker, Green, Leonard, Duncan, Splitter, Ginobili, Belinelli, Diaw, and Mills. Kawhi will take Durant and Green will spend some time on Westbrook...
Butler getting to OKC truly sucks for Spurs. They will play ton of smallball (especially with Perkins out/diminished) with Durant at PF and Spurs will struggle against it. Splitter will be reduce at backing up Duncan for 10-15 mpg and Diaw will have difficult defensive assignments against perimeter players. Without a good extra SF/small ball PF, I'm not sure how Spurs will do.
thats the first thing I thought of is only way butler plays if they go xtra small which will probably work with ibaka,Durant and butler but now our 9 million dollar man gets negated once again
Adding Butler doesn't change the equation, IMO. Splitter, and to a lesser extent Diaw, was going to be marginalized in an OKC series with or without Butler. They were going to go small for large stretches in any event. Butler replacing Sefalosha, Lamb, Jackson, or Fisher in those configurations is not a game changer.
Would have been nice to have Butler to throw at Durant for 5-10mins a game but I agree with Mel that him going to the Thunder doesn't really increase/decrease their chances of beating the Spurs. They had plenty of small ball players that could hurt us already. If Butler takes shots away from Durant/Ibaka/Westbrook/Fisher then I consider it a good thing tbh.
I agree that Butler is the only really sure-fire performing forward on the waiver wire, even if he is in decline.
The others have/had way too many question marks.
Well, looks like it's time to start the audition machine up again.
I know how they'll do. They will lose.
poor roster management this season in context. just like 2008 except worse, no moves to try to rectify the mistakes of free agency.
sad to see.
pop and co did a brilliant job of stopping okc last year by hoping and praying that Westbrook got hurt. Looks like their strategy is the same this year lmao
