if given any chance would you sign dirk as a spur next season?

[foodie2]

Could he learn to play defense?

[Chico]

Only if he lived in New Braunfels and participated in Wurstfest every year..

[Blake]

Dirk coming off the bench with Manu would be awesome.

, start RJ, Hill, Blair, Dice and Bonner and bring Tim, Manu, Tony, Dirk and Tiago Splitter off the bench.

yeah.....that would easily give the Spurs one of the top 3 benches in the league.

[ambchang]

I would take Dirk for anything under 4 years, $15M a season, but even that is much less than what he'd get in the open market.

Nowitzki, Duncan and Splitter would dominate the league, easy.

[Avitus1]

If the chance ever came I'd say take it... I'd also say take LeBron and Bosh while we are at it.

[Johnny RIngo]

Could he learn to play defense?

That hasn't stopped Bonner and Blair from joining the roster.

[Sense]

I'm excited


Can anyone project what our lineup would be with Dirk?

[Sense]

BTW, this isn't going to happen guys.... ever. So let's try not to take his fantasy thread seriously.

[Biggems]

yes, but only for 2 reasons.

Dirk would bring back love from the refs that was lost after Duncan ran over Jack Nies and then laughed at Joey Crawford and got him suspended.

Signing Dirk would put us back in the good graces of the refs.....and we would lead the league in FT attempts. We would lead the league in FTA after bogus or nonexistent fouls....but who cares.....cause at least the refs would love us again.

There is a Catch 22 though.....Dirk's FT % drops to 72%.


The other reason, and another poster mentioned it........just to give Cuban a huge case of the red ass.....I want to see him turn redder than yosemite sam, with smoke shooting out of his ears.

[MannyIsGod]

Of Course?

[DesignatedT]

no. pussy ass big man who thinks hes a gaurd. him.

[san antonio spurs]

We understand that there is no way Dirk will take the MLE but stranger things have happened in search for a ring i.e. Payton & Malone taking huge pay cuts to lose with Lakers.

You may not realise that realistically speaking, Cuban will never trade with us - even if there is option for sign-and-trade. As such, the only way is for Dirk to be a free agent. We are over the cap and only able to use MLE and hence, the obsession with MLE.

If we are under the cap and are able to fork out a max contract, I will say give it to LeBron or Bosh easily. The thing is we don't have that luxury.

Not taking our cap situation into account, I will say no to Dirk if we have Bosh. Dirk is a great offensive player but he is 31 already. We need younger players here as we move to transit to rebuilding.

you didn't understand

[admiralsnackbar]

Dirk's never going to leave a team that's built itself around him for over a decade, and we're never going to have the money for 4 franchise-quality players. That said, only a total pendejo would pass on the guy if they could afford it -- he's an amazing ball player and a ing match-up nightmare playing at the top of his game.

[Ditty]

how funny would that be if the top 2 mavs in history would play for the spurs?

finley and dirk

[Fpoonsie]

I'm excited


Can anyone project what our lineup would be with Dirk?

Yep.

[jestersmash]

The MLE can be split among multiple FAs. I say why stop at nowitzki, let's snag dirk, lebron, and wade for the MLE.

Can anybody project what our lineup would be with nowitzki, lebron, and wade?

I'm thinking we would probably start RMJ at the point and bring wade and nowitzki off the bench to provide a much needed spark. We might start lebron, but not until he's proved that he can be a decent player.

[BillMc]

for a chance to blow an artery in cuban's brain... yeah!

+1 Billion

[ShoogarBear]

I'd rather have Dwight Howard. Even better, 1994 David Robinson for the MLE.

1999 Tim Duncan. We could get him for free, seeing as how there'd be a family connection and all.

Excellent. Now you understand.

[coyotes_geek]

Can we just make one giant, blanket thread where it's universally agreed that we would all jump at the chance to sign a perennial all star to our MLE?

[Amarelooms]

some bad team i think would way overpay for him to try to get them over the hill

Dirk is not going to go for the money if he signs with another team dummy....either he re-signs with the Mavs or takes less to sign with a contender. If not the Mavs my bet is he signs with the likes of LA or where ever Lebron goes...that's what I would do if in his shoes. Imagine if Cavs just adding Dirk this off-season...that team would win 70+ games and sweep it's way to a ring

[buttsR4rebounding]

Anyone who says they wouldn't love to see Dirk on the Spurs next to Duncan just doesn't know basketball. This is about as no-brainer as it gets...

[Rummpd]

Heck I would do a sign and trade for Parker (and anyone on Spurs not named Blair) if needed - a starting line up of Dirk, Duncan, Hill, Jefferson and Manu is a of a great start and Spurs great at finding great role playes around that.

[TwAnKiEs]

I dont know... If he didnt react well to Avery calling him out, how would he handle Pop laying into him

[LoneStarState'sPride]

I love these pie-in-the-sky discussions.

"How'd you like to have Dirk?" "Nah, think we'll go for LeBron." Nonchalant like that.
