Finding The Bigman

[furry_spurry]

Rasho > than the entire list.

I believe we have witnessed one of the signs of the Apocalypse.

[Pistons < Spurs]

or Andreas Glyniadakis (skilled and improving Euro).

The Pistons owned him for 3 or 4 years, and completely gave up on him. But him being in Europe, I couldn't tell you about how good or bad he looked. I think he was in our summer league team last year. Those stats should be available somewhere.

[timvp]

The Cavaliers are supposedly interested in Knicks backup center Jackie Butler. The Knicks would like to have him back, but only on the cheap. The Cavaliers would probably have to give him a multi-year deal.

If Danny Ferry wants him that probably means the Spurs were high on him while Ferry was still in SA. Perhaps the Spurs can get him for something above "cheap".

Perhaps not.

He played for Albuquerque in the D-League last year and really came into his own at the end of the season. He's worth a summer league invite to see if it could carry over.

Wouldn't Evans be in the same boat as Scola, no outside shot and plays close to the basket? That said guy like Songaila who has a good jumper would be able to spread the floor.

Spurs need rebounding.

Butler, Ely and Songalia are the only three really worth pursuing on this list.

No ? I wasn't aware of that.

I figured he ended up back in in Europe and disappeared into obscurity.

I always thought he had potential ... but never saw it when we had his rights.

He sucked early in the season at Roanoke but got traded to to Albuquerque (Michael Cooper said he "pee-peed" in his pants when he heard he was available -- his words). Had more than a few dominant performances there on the way to winning the championship. Not a lock to stick in the NBA, but if he could get in position like Rasho I'd be happy.

All Lang needs to do is lose 20 pounds and he'd be signed on athleticism alone.

While I'm happy to hear of him starting to succeed, I'm very upset that we let him go.

Thanks for the info, I'll be making an attempt to follow his progress now.

[ChumpDumper]

For what it's worth, he completely tore up Pavel Podkolzin and Ha Seung Jin in the championship game: 26 pts 17 reb and 4 blk. I liked that he didn't shy away from contact.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

If we sign Voskuhl I'm going to join mouse as a Mavs fan.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Butler sounds interesting, and it would TOTALLY piss off the Knicks if we threw the MCE at him. Barring that, Ely. If we sign Voskuhl, I'm hanging myself.

Agreed.

, throw 2-3mil over 3 yrs at him and you'd probably land him. He's huge, he can block shots and rebound. Unless we are going smallball from now on he'd fit beautifully.

[ChumpDumper]

Yeah, some of us have been high on Butler for awhile.

I could be sold on Butler but I really don't know much about the guy. I didn't realize his numbers were that impressive.

I'm not a fan of using the entire MLE on a big man. I'd be much happier with a good portion of that money going after Jared Jefferies or Arriza. I guess the Spurs are really worried that Javaktovas and Oberto can't cut it. I understand that Oberto sucks ass, but I at least had hope for Javaktovas. I don't understand why we're bringing him over if they don't think he can do what Rasho has done for the past 2 years.

I also like Ely. I think Evans is fine as well for less than the whole MLE. I don't want Jake Voskuhl. that.

And some of us have just been...

[gospursgojas]

Jakie Butler or Magloire....damn make it happen PopRC

[beirmeistr]

Wow, very impressive analysis, TIMVP.
If the key stat is "cheap," I vote for Scott Pollard.

[Axl Van Dam]

Jamal Magloire by a mile.

[tempest186]

The Spurs are just waiting to break out the secret (signing) weapon.......the Karaulov.






or not.

[E20]

Call me pessmistic, but I don't see the Spurs getting most of those players. Maybe, they'd land Pollard, Voshkul or Williams.

[exstatic]

Spurs need rebounding.

If that's your overriding criteria, you have to at least look at Jamal Sampson.

[ObiwanGinobili]

Ely, Butler,Collins, Songaila.

and no to the goth he/she guy.




btw- greg simmons () last night mentioned Scola as most probebly coming over now - buy out be damned.
thoughts?
