Good luck with that. You'd likely have to take on a terrible contract to even begin with moving AI.
I hope the Nuggets shop AI and hand the starting SG job to JR. JR is too good to be coming off the bench.
Guy could easily be a 20+ppg player....... he was averaging 17ppg before he had a brain fart and got suspended in the brawl.

I must have been sober for that post!![]()
I don't see whats so great about that play. if he had dunked on the other hand...
. Not great granted, but a damn good play nonetheless.
mark bryand brought up a great point, sign him to the full MLE, he doesnt work out then we have a valuable trading asset. i say we go ahead with that plan.
If he fails miserably, how is that a good trading asset? Are you saying because he would still be young and have potential?
Stop making sense. The Spurs already tossed away an asset they could have traded if it didn't work out, that Scola guy.
did houston get past the first round with the great scola
Wow, you didn't get very far with that one: what team did Smith play for?
Once again, this thread delivers!
This guy is about as anti-spur as you can get...Forget about this one, move on.
If we could get this guy we could get a set of young legs and slowly improve on his already decent game.
Probably becsause you make half the posts when you said about four pages ago you were done with it. Is this your calling in life?
I would want J.R. if he could check his ego at the door, and listen to everything Pop/Duncan and all the vets say. However, I highly doubt this would happen.
Even if he did change the way he acts and plays, would he still be as good? I think part of his game is the fact that he jacks up so many shots and doesn't think about it. If he starts questioning his shot selection due to pop getting on his ass every time he takes a re ed shot would he still have his explosiveness and fire?
I love you so much!
You can fail in our system and still have value in the league. No one doubts this kid can score, but can he fit in our system? If he doesn't, he can still score, and there are at least 20 teams that don't care about contending and would want him.
Jack was a bonehead player with a bad rep bestowed upon him by none the less than multiple NBA champion Byron Scott when he landed in SA.
The Spurs aren't a bunch of choir boys. Pop recruited a friggin' pothead in the middle of the season. DerMarr Johnson had his own tragic auto accident. Kurt Thomas beat his wife once. Matt Bonner once toilet papered his HS coach's house.
Get over it already.
Funny, PJ once use that EXACT PHRASE, the anti-spur, when talking about Stephen Jackson during his time here.
I think it's more his style of play than it is his character. He just seems like a punk to me, I can't remember a specific incident about him.
ROFL. Pop went after Kobe Bryant in free agency. Pop told DRob he was done and was ready to run him out in favor of Chris Webber.
The Spurs are loyal to one thing and that's the ring.
I think Pop's style has matured since then. That being said, anyone that wouldn't go after Kobe as a FA is re ed. Comparing JR to Kobe here makes no sense.
How so to what? I'm leaving work, ill post when I get home.
He's not Kobe, but keep in mind how young he still is. From what I've seen so far, he looks like he could turn out to be a VERY explosive scorer in the right environment, particularly given how the game has changed to favor players like him.
