Sure he can. In New Orleans, Okie City or wherever.
I think one guy who would be happy with those minutes is Pargo (from the Bulls).
He's getting no minutes right now behind Duhon and Heinrich...and he brings much to the table defensively. If you saw him in the playoffs last year, you know he's not too shabby on the offensive side either. He can hit the open the 3's, and he's not afraid to take big shots.
Also
Beno is not a bad player. He's just not what the Spurs need. Beno can go to a team like the Pistons, or the Heat, or some other contender and fill in and play ok minutes (ala Arroyo or Gary Payton) but this teams NEEDS a defensive punch off the bench at PG...somebody who can play against guys TP can't, somebody who can step in big when TP is choking. Beno isn't that guy.
Beno is good enough to be our back up PG for next year.
I'm sure we'll play Houston in the preseason. If Chuck Hayes owns him again, cut him. Aaron Miles is going to make a better NBA point guard than Beno Udrih.
Beno belongs on our roster next year. Tony, even according to Pop, went through the same growing pains and look at Tony now.
Beno is talented and getting better all the time. At the very least, he deserves one more season.
Beno still can't dribble the ball up the court. That would be a nice first step in getting better.
Beno stinks, I'd rather have JR Smith as the back up.
Beno rocks.
Keep the No.
If the Spurs sign one of the top free agent point guards then their MLE will be gone. Otherwise, they will be likely to pull the same quality of point if they offer the minimum that they can sign with, oh, say half of the MLE. I'd rather keep the MLE for the best 3 available and sign a point to a minimum contract.
you know barry can run the pointif they can not trade him he is your vet and you make beno your 3 string
no he is not as fast as tp but if you tell him that and he works on that during trainging camp I think he can give you 10 minutes a night.
this is the nba this is not a church league
he is overweight so I question his work ethic
the point guard postion is going to be hard to fill with only handful out there
and it would free money up for your long three which needs to be addressed. only bad thing with barry would be if tp did miss 10 games. but manu no t his best postion can fill in to.
"For right now I can say that Beno is a very talented young man. His rookie year he played very well for us, for a rookie. Very well. This year we made the decision to go with Nick's maturity and experience. That was tough for Beno, so I think he deserves an opportunity to come in and see what he can do."
That was not me; the quote is from Coach Pop.
Beno will only get better if he plays. For a young guy in the league with his talent, you need to play him or trade him. Spurs need to decide which they are going to do, and despite quotes from Pop, I think that if they find another vet, Beno will be back on the bench. For the Spurs, he is a great, cheap option at third string point guard, but for him, that just is not conducive to his development as a player.
Let Beno play.
I don't see any veteran points likely to be acquired for the minimum. At this point, you give Beno his final shot, IMO.
He should stay in the team and he needs to get more minutes from Pop
ducks likes his Slovenes thin.
I actually wanted to know if there was more behind his statement than just personal preferences
did not timpv post that spurs wanted him to lose 15 pounds?
Okay, I've found timvp's post.
Actually it's timvp's opinion that Beno should lose 15 pounds -not the Spurs'.
It surprised me a little since the only reference to his weight in the news that I remembered was D'Antoni's smack talk in the Playoffs last year.
It's up to Beno to make this offseason a success for the Spurs.
