If James Became A Spur
Would He Not Live Up To The Hype Either

[ElNono]

I guess thats my point he can't develop either of them. Farmer because he's already tapped out on his potential and the other because it seems that Hairston doesn't fit the profile. I still would have stuck it out with Hairston...neither will play why not opt for the player with more upside and youth?

Because in the event either Mason or Finley do go down in the next month, Farmer *WILL* play, and considerable minutes. So you want a guy that's ready. It could also happen if we have two SG go down during the season. So it's really a matter of depth. I mean, as far as bigs go, if two go down we still have 3 more to play the positions.

Nazr never had a clue where to be and Rasho and Beno both lacked male equipment.

Beno showing up toting a purse should've been a clue.

Their roles changed when they changed teams. Rasho was not counted on to score when he came to the Spurs...rather to rebound, screen and defend the paint. Rasho's points output decreased from what they were with the T-Wolves, however, his rebounds and blocks actually increased his next year with the Spurs.

Same thing for Nazr on his role. Once Nazr was brought in, he split time with Rasho and their roles were to rebound, screen and defend the interior.

Bonner hasn't really changed that much from when he was with the Raptors. He wasn't better than Robert Horry before he came to the Spurs, either.

Good post.

I think beno getting the MLE from the kings proves that they are overrated in the spurs system. This guy was playing behind Jacque Vaughn for crying out loud

[1Parker1]

players that usually go to the spurs dont live up to their name and what not. for example rasho and nazr who were decent with their teams but werent good enough for the spurs. bonner who was good with toronto is not so good either. there are many others as well.

I'd say Finley lived up to his name. I'd say Brent Barry lived up to his name eventually. If you want to count Kurt Thomas, even though technically Spurs got him via trade, I'd say he lived up to his name. Robert Horry definitely lived up to his name after he came to the Spurs. You're just concentrating on the exceptions...
