I was even gonna be happy if we drafted Luck_The_Fakers_Luck_The_Fakers_Luck_The_Fakers_Lu ck_The_Fakers_Luck_The_Fakers_Luck_The_Fakers_ williams. if u didnt know, he played for duke his freshman year before transferring to memphis.
ELLLIIIIOOOOOTTTTT!
I am sure everyone here desires to see him in a Spurs uniform, but as stated before, he is not a free agent which complicates things.No rapist here.
Ok, i admit i started a stupid thread, but I ever desire Shane in Spur jersey. I'd like to know if it's anyone other desire.
Make it stop..please make it stop!
the rockets will never let go of mr. battier
It's my opinion that you should put down your pipe.
Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha!
u do know those guys havnt done in the nba besides receiving inflated contracts?
That's what I'm talking about.
With crack on top.
I'd definitely welcome Battier on the Spurs. But, please ... don't tell me he's as good or the equivalent to Bowen just because of similar roles and responsibilities on a team -- Shane makes people work, Bruce made them work, crawled inside their shorts and then into their psyche.
Bowen: there is only one.
Correct.
However, I'd take Battier on this team in a heartbeat.
So, did anyone explain how you pry him out of Houston yet?
Trade exception from Joyzee.
I like Battier too, but if we use Joyzee's trade exaption it has to be for LeBron. Now we only have to confince his new team, that they don't sign him for too much money (so that the TE thing works for us) and then later that they overpayed (with their MLE), so they want to get rid of him.
We can make that work!
Use the Blue!Trade exception from Joyzee.
battier is highly overrated...just because you put your hand in someone's face--does not make you a great defender..
what about SHAQ........ o is everyone just missing this?
True. But after what we saw last year it would make you one of the better defenders on this team.
That being said, there's no way to get him so it doesn't matter.
one question to all of you (not saying anything in this regard could happen):
compairing Jefferson and Battier, which guy would you pay more and how much more?
Statwise they are very near to each other RJ has better %tages--except for 3pt%-- and slightly better numbers overall.
I'm pretty high on Battier and the stats dont show his defense...Battier also has more range...two things we really like with our team...I'd say, that I'd give him 2 mio more per year than Jefferson, but that said, I wouldnt give RJ more then the MLE!
You do realize Boozer is one of the top players at his position in the NBA..? You do realize that Elton Brand was one of the only 20 and 10 guys around excluding the last 2 years..? You do realize almost everyone on this board was ing their pants about the possibility of acquiring Corey Maggette last summer before re- ing their pants about the failure of a trade known as Jefferson? You do realize that JJ Re would help our team immensely with his 3 point shooting and his knack for finding the open man..? You do realize Battier is the best lock-down defender in the NBA (and don't come at me with the bull of mr. queensbridge being the best)..? Duhon is a proven backup pg (didn't we need one of those?) Deng puts up better numbers than jefferson, plus he can play defense. We'd be lucky to have almost any Duke alumnus playing in a Spurs uniform.
Battier is a great defender. He puts his hand one inch from the shooters nose consistently. That means he is almost always in the offensive players space. What more do you want from the guy? He is exactly what the spurs need on this team. He can play defense, hit threes, and he plays hard. Unfortunately were not going to get him. However, if we did get him and splitter(assuming he is decent) we would be contenders.
