No Shaq, what is wrong with people.
Yeah, I'd definitely prefer that. Just gotta wonder if Shaq was listening to Ticket 760 along with us to see how much Splitter was set to make :P
We have five big men. We have one small forward. Do the math.
Not again - not another thread promoting the Big Cactus.
not promoting it, but wondering what the numbers are
go out and pry matt barnes damn it
Absolutely. The mle remainder is the best tool the Spurs have left. It has to be used on a SF.
If shaq wants to come here for league minimum, I'm fine with it. But no way should they give him the MLE remainder.
no
What I don't understand from you people is that from February through May all you did on here was complain about the Spurs needing a legitimate big man next to Tim Duncan.
So now, the Spurs have signed Splitter... NICE. But it's still not enough. They are fine at the SF position, mainly due to some flexibility (moving Manu to the 3 occasionally), but they still need a true veteran center.
If Shaq would be willing to take an amount the Spurs offer, I would be thrilled. Not only does this give them what they need at the position, but it also gives the Spurs a swagger; something they've been missing since Robert Horry retired.
SO I SAY: SIGN SHAQ SIGN!
It would be nice having a legit center tutor and mentor Splitter for the next two years. We would also have a stacked front line...
4: Duncan Blair Bonner
5: Mcdyess Shaq Bonner
assuming Jefferson signs Blair could step in at SF and the Spurs could try playing BIG. Still I think i'd prefer getting Mcgrady
if rj goes done spurs are screwed
lol at you
Shaq is not coming
You're an idiot.
The Spurs have a big man rotation set. It's Tim, Splitter, Dice, Blair, and Bonner. There isn't any minutes for anyone else.
At the SF, we have Jefferson, and you want to back him up with Manu?Go look at how Manu matches up with the premier SFs in the league. And get a freakin' clue.
Shaq gives us nothing at the position. if you watched him play at Cleveland last year, you would know this. He's nothing more than a ball hogging fat ass. The Cavs had to wait on offense for him to get his ass up the court if they couldn't score on a fast break.
How anyone can look at our depth chart, or even say "yeah we're okay at SF with Jefferson and Manu", and then turn around and argue that we need a sixth big is beyond me.
, if you think we need more big man depth, we drafted a big in the second round this year. And he'll come cheaper, with a lot more energy, and a lot less drama.
Oh, and in case you forgot, RJ is not under contract at the moment. So we don't have any depth, we don't even have a starter there! (HINT: Manu, at 6'6", ain't a starting SF in this league!).
Hey, I hear Antoine Carr is available too! He's got a mean streak and would be the perfect sixth big!
That is the only two numbers that matter.We have five big men. We have one small forward. Do the math.
Can you imagine having Shaq and Bonner as the frontcourt
You guys are really, really misguided about Shaq. Since when has he ever been a selfless enough of a teammate that he mentored anyone. Pay attention to how and why he's moved around so much the past 3 seasons - because he's a selfish jerk, that eventually grates on teammates, coaches and the organization.
Besides, the Spurs desparately need a SF. Let's all move on.
If the Spurs can get Shaq they should do it. Spurs need to do whatever they can to limit Duncan's minutes and keep him fresh for the playoffs.
Did you not read the above people explaining how we have 1)duncan 2)splitter 3)dice 4)blair 5)bonner to play the pf/c position?
We have plenty of bigmen. No one keeps 6 bigmen in their actual rotation. We just paid bonner real rotation bigman money. Unless Dice retires, there is no room for shaq.
Plus, he would only be useful if he actually played D, which he no longer does.
we have NO SF currently. AT ALL.
people, THINK.
You see, I know what kind of fan you are already... you are the type that will dog players during the off season, but once the Spurs sign a guy like Shaq and he averages double digits in rebounding you'll be wetting your panties over his play.You're an idiot.

Spurs NEED SHAQ. They don't need Barnes, he sucks. He had one good series in 07 against the Mavs and that's it! Who else do you envision singing at the SF position? Tracy Mcgrady? If the Spurs sign RJ, they should sign Shaq as well, then try to trade for a SF. I would even say trade Blair at this point. I can tell you right now, Mcdysse & Blair will see minutes go down this season. So you should get a clue.
Blair is working on playing SF this year so that does leave a need for Shaq
