Spurs interested in Marcus Banks?

[ALVARORTIZ]

I Hope He Can Shoot Free Throws, But Bring Him On

Boycott Aj

Garnett and Marbury, there goes your entire salary cap. If KG waits around for some rookie to develop he's nuts. Minny should bite the bullet blow it all up and go for Oden in '07 along with some young pieces and picks they could get for KG.

who said speedy wanted to sign with the spurs
only think I heard some spur fan wanted speedy here

speedy has no outside shot
not the person I am looking for

beno should be better next year it is year 3
time for beno to improve or be given the boot or traded

Speedy made a comment that he "wouldn't mind returning to San Antonio next year."

Would you rather have Barbosa than Udrih?

Currently, yes.

NEWS FLASH: Wolves are already over the cap.



Do you think its a hard cap or something?

barbosa

but spurs wanted him gone because they thought they had kidd signed
and did not want that huge rookie contract to be on the books

[sickdsm]

Is that a regret then?

Wasn't it the year after they were courting kidd?

[ducks]

I regret it
I also think rasho is a regret
I think had spurs went all out and went after oneal first and went to visit rasho
that oneal might have signed with the spurs
kidd should have been on the backburner because he likes duncan anyhoe

oneal is >>>> rasho

[ShoogarBear]

Playing for the defending champions would be enough for him to sign. I'd love to see a good, solid, young back up for tp. He would fit well into pop's system as he is one of few point guards that play defense. Outside shot = solid. He can space the floor or attack the rim with his strong build. He also averaged 3.8 assists on only 25 minutes per game. It would be a good change of pace/styles when he comes off the bench for tp.

He's 24 years old and just finished his third year; he's not a 32 y.o. veteran. He finally got a chance to show what he can do playing 30 mpg and now he wants to get paid and get more playing time. He does not want to spend his prime years as Tony Parker's backup if he can be a starter for a team that looks like it has a future. I just don't see it.

I think if Jermaine had known that Isiah would be fired, he would've signed with us anyway.

If other teams I impressed by his play, which I assume many are, he will definately get more money than the spurs would be willing to give him. You're right. Money will probably win out but I still think he might want to sign with the spurs and get that ring. Money can always wait a year.

[ducks]

horry is not going to last forever

YOU have to have three point shooters so duncan has room to work
along with tp and manu



barry will be gone to someone has to replace him

[strangeweather]

Is that a regret then?

Meh. The Spurs have hit on enough low picks over the years that complaining about taking Beno late in the first seems kind of silly to me.

At the time of the '03 draft, the Spurs supposedly coveted your boy Ndudi, so it could be worse. I don't mean that as a slap at the T-Wolves -- just that you're always guessing about these things.

[intlspurshk]

Is that a regret then?

The regret is for J Howard. Not for Barbosa. The SPURS give up J Howard to create more cap room for J Kidd. What difference does it make indeed?

[objective]

if the spurs spend any MLE money on a back-up point consdering the other pressing concerns . . . then shame on them.

[picnroll]

A little Banks D

depends if they trade barry for that long three
depends if they get a big in a sign and trade with nazr
or trade rasho for pj brown

[carlos30]

banks would add more youth and another shooting point guard

[Tom_Foolery]

If they have interest in Marcus Banks, they might be considering packaging Parker and some people for a high profile star(like someone who could play F/C). Jermaine O'Neal?

They already spent too much on Barry, and Malik in the past, so I would doubt that the Spurs would really be interested in Banks as a "backup", especially at $5+ million a year...way too much money for a backup.

I love Parker, but if we could somehow package Parker and another player for a guy like Jermaine O'Neal, that would be incredible. I wouldn't even hesitate a trade like that. A Duncan & O'Neal duo would scare the out of the NBA.

[TDMVPDPOY]

with jermaine and brand, we could only offered them a max contract of up to 6years only, too bad they didnt bite for it, we couldve sign 2 allstar calibre players that summer, and resign td, then the followin year tp/gino to lower contracts, i still dont think tp is worth the contract he signed.

I don't think ti's a hard cap but I don't know if the T Wloves owner is willing to go JAmesDolan acquiring talent.
