Can you imagine if we had had JR Smith instead of Ginobili?

[ducks]

Manu would be injured blatt would have over played him

[bluebellmaniac]

I always said when JR Smith tries 100% he can reach Kobe levels.

He's got the talent, he just never had the determination. Maybe it was because he was in the ty nuggets and Knicks. I remember Spurs were thinking about obtaining him and I was behind that move 100%. Once again. I was correct 100%.

In the right situation JR Smith is a top flight player.

can you imagine if we had had him instead of Ginobili???

I see the problem with your hypothesis, you are aiming too low. I fixed it for you...


I always said when Lebron James tries 100% he can reach Michael Jordan levels.

He's got the talent, he just never had the determination. Maybe it was because he was in the ty cavaliers and Heat. I remember Spurs were thinking about obtaining him and I was behind that move 100%. Once again. I was correct 100%.

In the right situation Lebron James is a top flight player.

can you imagine if we had had him instead of Blair???

[hater]

He's still available!

This is great news for us. We can get a Manu replacement at a good price. Do it RC!

jR to the Spurs ASAP!

Tell Manu to go back to Mexico as his job has been filled by a real American citizen

Nope because the most minutes would be played by Dellavedoba who i think is a great player for us to look in the future.
You put Ginobili in this years Cavs and they ring, basically because he would have been able to dose himself better as he had to play near 30 minutes per game during december.
Spurs had a lot of injuries, other than that Ginobili was playing even better than last year.

[ElNono]

He's still available!

38yo gets probably begged by legend Timmy to join him in the last ride while his supposed replacement is left twisting in the free agency wind :

Spurs Nearly Grabbed J.R. Smith In Multi-Team Deal

Feb 24, 2006 2:21 PM

The Spurs nearly traded Brent Barry on Thursday afternoon in a multi-team deal that would have netted New Orleans guard J.R. Smith, two NBA sources said.

The deal was close enough to completion ? one opposing team executive said he had heard it was done ? that Spurs officials initially told Barry he might not need to board the team's charter flight here.

The deal unraveled near the league's 3 p.m. trade deadline, which was an hour before the Spurs were scheduled to depart. After Spurs coach Gregg Popovich told Barry the trade was dead, Barry accompanied the team here.

Were you dropped on you're head as a baby? Did you sniff glue as a child? Like how ignorant are you? You can't possibly be serious about having JR Smith over Manu Ginobili, one guy has won 4 NBA championships, an Olympic Gold Medal in which his country defeated the USA, won countless championship's overseas in Europe, the other guy is a bum who has NEVER won anything, who has went from team to team because he is a bum, & has a tattoo on his back that say's ''Klowning'', seriously? Klowning? Yeah like his NBA career.

While Ginobili is 1 of the greatest basketball player's to ever play the game & was winning championships, JR Smith is too busy untying player's shoe laces at the FT line & getting F'd up at the club. Obviously this is a major attempt at a troll job & tbh you get a 0/10 for it. BTW saying he should be sent back to Mexico? Really? That just show's how ignorant & racist you really are, low class s tbh, I bet while Ginobili was bringing the Spurs back in Game 5 vs the Heat in 2014 by hitting 3 after 3, dishing out dimes to Patty & Kawhi, dunking all over Bosh, you were somewhere booing him & not cheering you're Spurs on because you're hate of a single player overrides the Spurs winning. It's quite pathetic honestly, it's a shame you are a Spurs fan because any decent Spurs fan can respect the blood sweat & tear's Ginobili has shed all for our San Antonio Spurs. You have taken for granted what Ginobili has brought to this team & that's all on you for being a hater like you're account name is.

BTW if you're so right on this, why did the Spurs bring back 38 year old Ginobili? Why not just tell him go retire & go sign the all great JR Smith? Ill tell you why, because you're wrong, that would be completely & utterly IDIOTIC in every sense of the word which you have displayed for us obviously.

I stumbled on this article from a 2014 with Mills quote on Manu during Finals game 5 timeout..Ginobili is on his very last legs, but his worth in intangibles is still intact and almost irreplacable for the Spurs at this point, much less by JR Smith-type of guys..Glad to have him back even for 15 mpg a night

"There was a time out midway through the third quarter and it felt like there was an opportunity for us to take the game and Manu (Ginobili) had sensed the same thing," Mills said."As soon as he sat down he started screaming at everyone, picture him screaming in an exaggerated way, - "this is our moment, it’s right now, it’s right now, we need to do this, it’s right now” - I will never forget that moment..

This thread is proof that trolling still works. It also proves losers with 20,000+ posts aren't better than the new guy with 100 posts.


Damn this nerd has to be a virgin and for his sake, I hope he is.

[Man In Black]

What's hilarious is that JR Smith had a players option of 6.4 Million and he opted out. Now he is still a free agent. If he's Kobe level if he applied himself, then how in the can he still be a free agent? ANSWER, he's not as good as Hater thinks him to be.

Hater...Seriously? What were you smoking?
