i don't see him coming to the spurs
I can't wait for the heads to explode when the Spurs sign him believing they can be the ones to change him into something he isn't.

Yeah, too expensive.
Sir Charles always stays players are in the league for a reason and are good.
He was wrong. Maybe he needs to be introduced to Tskitiskvili.
I can almost swear you say every time you say his name. Maybe it's just me.
The guy would be a fantastic Euro player.
...And Minnesota. If you consider mop up duty as actually playing.
The main reason why he has been waived is that he has been an asshole with Portland :
http://www.oregonlive.com/sports/ore...l=7&thispage=2With no other game-tested center around, Tskitishvili, career scoring average 2.9 points per game, demanded a guarantee of a contract for next season before he'd report to summer league.
A couple years ago I attended a closed Spurs practice and watched alongside the Slovenian national team coach and an assistant coach of the Spanish national team. I remember explicity the Slovenian coach, when talking about Eastern European talent, that Skita (Nikolaz Tskitishwhatever) would become a great player in the NBA in a couple years. Well, its a couple years later and looks like dude has regressed!
We are so going to end up with Skita and Keith Van Horn....
He asked me if I'd heard of that young kid "Nikolaz Tskitischvili". I was like "yeah, you ever work with him?". The coach said he had and said that he was a nice prospect, talented and would have a great NBA career. I wonder if he still stands by that opinion. Very nice guy, though.
About thirteen years ago I was attending Fatso's watching a Spurs game alongside a North Carolina fan watching a college game. I remember explicitly the UNC fan assuring me that Eric Montross would be a better NBA center than David Robinson.A couple years ago I attended a closed Spurs practice and watched alongside the Slovenian national team coach and an assistant coach of the Spanish national team.

I guess saying he sucks would be too obvious an answer.
I have a worse story than that.About thirteen years ago I was attending Fatso's watching a Spurs game alongside a North Carolina fan watching a college game. I remember explicitly the UNC fan assuring me that Eric Montross would be a better NBA center than David Robinson.
In 1997, Josh Elliot (who is now on ESPN) came into the temp agency that I used to run in Beverly Hills. He was a young guy looking for any kind of job related to sports. I ended up getting him a job making $8.50/hour at Fox.
But anyway, we became friends and it was about draft time and we had huge argument about Tim Duncan. He said that Duncan was too soft to ever be anything but a role player in the league. I said he'd eventually be MVP.
Yes, he works on ESPN as an analyst and I babysit this messageboard.
When a player makes the Darko pick look genius, you probably don't want to pick him up.
Kori, the guy sounds tailor made for ESPN, where you have to respond to flash and sizzle the way Pavlov's dog did a whistle. It has to make you salivate and hoot and get tunnel vision unto blindness. Duncan was too mellow and vanilla for this guy. They probably asked him the "Tim Duncan" question when he applied at ESPN - they still ask it today: "Has Tim Duncan ever won the Most Valuable Player in the NBA?"
Bonus points if you answer, "Who?"
Basic answer that'll get you the job: "Duncan? Did he? I don't think so. We can get the stats guys on it. Maybe not, not enough time..."
Hired!
This is true. He was demanding a guaranteed contract when Przybilla looked like he was signing elsewhere. Once Joel signed we booted his selfish ass out of here.
Somebody wants this guy?
Sean Marks is FAR more useful.
Because when you've been cut by Portland, the next stop is bouncer at a bar in Baltimore.
He might be one of the worst players in NBA history. Look at his stats. Career 30.4% shooter (shot 29.3% his rookie year). I've never heard of anybody that low.

HILARIOU! You kidding me!?About thirteen years ago I was attending Fatso's watching a Spurs game alongside a North Carolina fan watching a college game. I remember explicitly the UNC fan assuring me that Eric Montross would be a better NBA center than David Robinson.
SWEEEEEEEEET!!! Kori, you are kidding me!! That is also hysterical! What a fool that guy is. He must've been trying to make a name for himself by bucking the trend, by going against the tide of accolades for Tim Duncan at that time before the draft.I have a worse story than that.

ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FREAKING MIND?
^ A lethal dose of combustible at ude - Billy Bailey combined with Jean Claude Van Damme.
I was living in Misssissippi (University of Southern Miss. Class of 98) at the time when the Spurs won the #1 pick and I actually had the following conversation. I was at a local watering hole enjoying a few adult beverages and struck up a conversation with the dude sitting next to me at the bar. We started to talk about the Spurs (I brought them up) and what they were going to do with the #1 pick. I told him that the Spurs would no doubt draft Duncan however he had a different perspective. He told me that he had some inside information
Come to think of it that might have been Isaih Thomas..

That's awesome. Things like that are why I laugh when people try to refute an argment by saying, "All the ESPN guys agree with me."I have a worse story than that.
