You ed up right there. Mourning was one of the best big men but I doubt he will even be close to what he was.The Spurs fill a need with Mourning, who was regarded as one of the best big men, and add a superstar in Kidd.

mourning is a gamble, but if he's half of what he was, he's the best center to add hands down, regardless of kidd.
It's very simple, the caproom can't be saved, unless we sign one year deals,thats not going to happen, who the **** wants one year deals?
Then we have to use it this year, and bottom line is that regardless of how old you think kidd is (he's not old), how overrated he is (he's not, he's carried a damn team for 2 years now), or how great parker is (he's not, he has a habbit of disapearing), Kidd is the best option out there.
I love parker, I really do, but he's given public endorsement to this idea, and if he's lying, i don't think he would have lied in private with Pop. I've heard here that Parker woudln't last as the starting 2 guard, yet I have yet to hear a reason why.
If a quck small 2 guard like Iverson can last at the 2, why can't Parker? And don't use the excuse that he'll get killed physicaly because he's never taken it strong to the rack and he's not giong to start this year. He's either going to shoot his jumper, or hit the runner.
You know part of me wants Kidd to come now, so that next year, some of us can say I TOLD YOU SO.
How is that ing up? He is no longer one the best big men, because he didn't play last year. How do you know he won't be able to withstand the season? The Doctors have cleared him to play. It's not as if he tore his knee or his back up and can't move around as well. He has the same motion and ability now that he had when he left. The only question is his stamina. If monitored right, he would be the best big man the Spurs could get to join with Kidd and he woiuld be cheap as well (around 4 mill per). That's not ing up, as you so eloquently put it.You ed up right there. Mourning was one of the best big men but I doubt he will even be close to what he was.

Duff,
I guess the way to look at is that even if he's only half as good as he once was, that would still make Zo better than anyone not named Shaq.
I must say as feverishly as opposed as I am to getting Kidd, if Zo comes "with the package" then I'd have to shut up for now.

I don't get it. LA getting proven talent like GP and Malone is something that we are to fear, yet the Spurs getting a younger proven talent like Kidd is supposed to be awful.
You never pass on talent like Kidd. The Spurs cannot afford to let their talent base slide. They'd be replacing a 35 year old former superstar with a current one. You can't ask for more than that. Some of you are so narrowminded.
passing on kidd if oneal says yes. that is suppose to be bad?
Ducks, welcome to the forum. I'm sure you'll catch up with the discussion sooner or later.
ING A.
If we cannot get Brand or O'Neal, Kidd and Zo would still be a hugely successful offseason. No doubt.
Fine, Arch. You wan't Kidd so bad?
Trade Parker to get him and a viable starting center.
I don't want Parker and Kidd on this team in the backcourt together.
I want a Robinson replacement.
I don't want Kidd if he's gonna screw up the rotation and we can't sign a starting center.
I'll gladly take Kidd if he doesn't prevent us from a traditional lineup.
