3 worst Spurs of all time

[phxspurfan]

Derrick Dial

Mark Bryant (5 fouls on Shaq!)

Cherokee Parks (5 more fouls on Shaq!)

[phxspurfan]

Francisco Elson

Ian Mahinmi

Jason Hart

[tmtcsc]

1. Syndey Green
2. Charles Smith
3. Dwayne Schintizius

[tmtcsc]

And it ing cost them Frank Brickowski, the best backup 5 the Spurs ever had.

That was an awful trade. The Spurs had good chemistry and made noise in David's rookie year and then Larry Brown started mucking it all up. There was no need to start trading anyone.

All of their last names are Jefferson.

[Snaq O'Meal]

Centerpiece was pretty damn bad as Pop called him, Bogans I believe his last name. I never expected jack out of him though.

Pop desperately pinned a lot of hopes on him after falling out with Bowen. It was also a time when Pop thought his system could fix a lot of ills by simply plugging in square pegs into round holes (such as RMJ at PG).

Fan since 95 and really not old enough to evaluate talent until 2000 so I may not have quite the database but I love these things:

1. Keith Bogans
2. Tony Massenberg
3. Mengke Bateer

I didn't base my list off of lack of bang for buck, just simply least talented or least impact. Well, ok, Bogans was touted as being the successor to Bruce so he had some expectations come along with him to boost him as my number one. Hate him or not, at least produced something while on the court

[K...]

Why do people hate bogans? He was a backup forced to play big minutes. Y'all make it sound like he's patty mills without the shot.

Bogans,, Jefferson, ava Bonner, etc are examples of average players being pressed into high level playoffs basketball. All three were nba quality role players and have had very very long nba careers. You don't stick in the league like those three unless you have nba talent.


Also, how the you gonna mention tj Ford when he was coming off huge injuries? That dude was a major baller who couldn't stay healthy.

I agree with your points on TJ but as far as Bogans? I hated him because of the high expectations that the front office, reporters, and many of this message board had for him when as you said, he's a very average player. He was supposedly known for his perimeter defense and well, he was a breezeway

[Obi Juan Kenobi]

Jackie Butler cost us Luis Scola...

[Chucho]

Malik Rose
Bonner
Trent Tucker

1. you're dumb - bogans played 6mpg for SA in the playoffs and was A NEGATIVE PER
2. tj ford was a pussy. he also was a pg that averaged 3a and 2 to for spurs in like 13 minutes. huge injuries... jesus.

GOD those were miserable days as a Spurs fan 2009-011 were pretty bad TBH.

Malik Rose
Bonner
Trent Tucker

Malik Rose was actually huge on that 2003 le run, he had some monster games those playoffs and his Dunk on Motumbo sparked them in game 3 of the finals. HE ATE Dallas up that year too. After that I agree though fully, he signed that contract and tried to be a jump shooter and just basically went downhill. He netted us Nazr in 2005 though for the le run so another positive from him

[afireinside20]

From what I've seen

1. Amal McCaskill
2. Drew Gooden
3. Fathead

[midnightpulp]

Relative to expectation:

1. Jefferson
2. Hedo. Supposed to the next Peja after he had a small breakout performance against the Lakers in 2002.
3. Udoka. Had a solid year in Portland in the season before we signed him. Was supposed to be Bowen 2.0 with a better offense. At least he's proving himself as an assistant.

[Skoobz]

Expectation wise

1.Jefferson.
2. Van Exel
3. Ron mercer

[tbear280]

Jaren Jackson without a doubt! Runner up Derek Anderson!

[elemento]

In terms of cost-benefit, Jefferson is the worst signing ever . He stole 32m from the franchise playing 3 years ish and SA had to waste a 1st round pick do dump him and bring back Cancer Jackson.

FTR, Bruce Bowen played 13 years in the NBA and barely made 30m.

[Kikoluna]

Kyle Anderson

Sidney Green
Richard Jefferson
Charles Smith

Impressive list. Not many recall that Smith was Pop's first big trade as GM. Smith had blown knees and a 3 year $10 million per which back in those days was a monster contract. He never played much here and was constantly on the IR list.

[Twisted_Dawg]

Dennis Rodman
Alfrederic Hughes
Paul Pressey

Great mixed list on our top cancer, most memorably failed draft pick, and perhaps worst trade. Many of us that were around during Rodman think he threw the playoffs against the Rockets. Hughes most exciting play was running his Benz up the wall at 281 & Hildebrand. Pressey yet another older player acquired with blown knees, but we also gave up a young promising Brickowski for him.

Man, how are you allowed to have that pic

I never heard that one

[Twisted_Dawg]

OMG Paul Pressey!! He fell faster than any player known to man. The Spurs got him when he was completely washed up.

And it ing cost them Frank Brickowski, the best backup 5 the Spurs ever had.

The Spurs lead by GM Bob Bass, Red McCombs and Larry Brown thought Brickowski was a "club house lawyer" and decided to trade him for an ageing Pressey with blown knees and a big contract.

....at 100 mph at that!
