Hairston's the poster child for the practice, but Pop clearly knows something we don't or has a blind spot for him going back to Anthony Tolliver.
actually i think itz reasonable to do so.
we traded our pick for KT last year in order to contend for championship.
Itz only a short-term solution after all.
now KT's time has come and the spurs need some young blood in order to stay in the long run, so I'd do it and therez nothing funny bout it
"Good finisher under the basket 70.8 FG% (loves finishing with dunks at the rim if possible)."
Will never be a Spur if this is to be believed.
EDIT: This is a quote from the strengths of Omri Casspi, btw. Needed to clarify.
My (completely unrealistic) hope is that, with the lack of quality centers available in the draft at that position, and also assuming the Thunder are unable to draft Thabeet at the 3rd spot, that the Spurs can nab that pick with cash, #37, and Javtokas' rights. Ain't happening, but I can dream.
What!?!?! You mean you don't weep every day that Pops Mensah Bonsu is dunking north of the border?
getting that 25th pick back could help us alot.....we could get someone like sam young or dejuan summers who can help us extremely at the 3 and 4 position
I haven't been following the college players this year, it just didn't interest me..any projected late athletic SFs that can come in and produce right away? I obviously don't mean in a star way, but somebody that can give us an athletic infusion at a role player level..
Sam Young, DaJuan Summers, and Omri Casspi seem likely candidates.
i live in windsor, ontario and get to see the raptors on tv quite a lot.
Honestly , pops is not that good. Hez more of an energy player, he turns the ball over often and even missed a lot of dunks . (that's prolly why hez pg percentage is so low
Sam Young sounds perfect for us to me from the analysis on DX..
defense+work ethic+great coaching and great system= good addition..
Williams is supposedly shooting up the board thanks to his workouts, I don't think he'll drop close to that pick.
If this report is even remotely feasible it is very possible the Spurs are sticking their name in the hat for Omri Casspi.
Also remember, Casspi CAN withdraw from this draft if he chooses so. It is believed if he does not get a first round guarantee that Casspi will withdraw from the draft.
If we're going after Casspi, try to get a pick before the Blazers. They'll pick him just to #*%! with us again. The Rockets too for that matter.
Getting a late first round pick isn't complicate at all. Cash or a future pick should be enough.
Now, if Spurs get a first round pick, it will eat a little (around $500K) of their 2010 cap space. Either Spurs won't take the 2010 plan route or they like a player enough to sacrifice some cap space on him while this player hasn't played a single NBA minute.
Yes, but if they believe that player can make an impact, it would be one of the cheap role players needed to fill out the roster in 2010.
Pop in his 15+ years as the man in charge has never traded up in the first round or traded for a first round pick. So I'm obviously skeptical that anything comes out of this.
I'm guessing it is just the due diligence of getting the feelers out there in case someone they like drops to a certain spot in the draft. I highly doubt that they just trade for a pick. If they move up, it'll be during the draft when a certain player drops.
And yeah, it probably wouldn't be too difficult to move up. With so many teams careful about guaranteeing money, the 38th and either a little bit of cash or another second round pick would probably be enough.
Sam Young seems to be Malik Hairston to me, so I'm not sure why they'd feel they need to reach for him. Summers may fall to the Spurs in the second round.
I have a feeling the Spurs are going to be really busy making phone calls immediately after the draft, looking for even more guys to add to camp this year.
having sex can result in kids therefore spur players need to have sex to produce kids that say they will only play for spurs and no one else!
Definitely some white goon from Europe.
Serious question, how much say does RC have in player personnel? Percentage wise between RC, Pop and Buford and other sources?
Hopefully not much after the Howard and Scola debacles.
can we just buy one and let oberto go?
R.C, Pop and Buford?
I doubt anyone wants Thomas or Oberto unless they are packaged with a George Hill or Splitter's rights.
See above.....
Holt should have already fired Bufford.
Or send him to the blackhole known as Pop's doghouse.
Exactly why would Pop want an athletic player?"Good finisher under the basket 70.8 FG% (loves finishing with dunks at the rim if possible)."
Will never be a Spur if this is to be believed.

Bufford? What has he done lately? Finding Parker was a long time ago.
rc and bufford are the same people
