The Spurs have tried everything with Beno. They've tried being nice. They've tried being mean.
Now they just want him to man up and play basketball and stop getting "hurt" with little wimp injuries every second.
But but but . . . he's so cuuuuuuute!

Maybe he's at his wits end, and has tried everything else?
When I read this, I heard Pop throwing down the gauntlet: "Improve and work a LOT harder, or no year 4 in SA". I think they WILL let him go for nothing, and I think he will ride the inactive list this year unless he pulls his head out. It's his job to be in shape and in condition. Chronic injuries with limited minutes say that he isn't doing that. How long do you think the Symphony would keep a musician who refused to practice and improve? Beno seems to not appreciate having the opportunity to play in the NBA.
waive beno add devin brown and avoid the tax
Wow this is disappointing. I think Pop never forgave Beno for wussing out last year when he finally got a chance to start after Tony was hurt. It's like Beno just wants to be a 3rd QB or something and get paid for holding a clipboard. He knows he's not better than Tony, so he doesn't even try.
C'mon dude, grow a pair. I've defended you for years, but this is unacceptable.
Major cha-ching for timvp. Beno should have broken out TO's bike-rider outfit and helmet.

I've never seen anyone happier about a lackluster 2nd string point guard.
@ Solid D
That fake timvp is still around?
I bet he would have even admitted Beno was injury prone.
If you can find Spurs knee pads and elbow pads, maybe the Spurs have a backup point guard after all.
well it is a good thing spurs still have barry
I like barry as backup point anyhow
if he knows that is what the spurs want he has all trainging camp to learn it
nice pop has made the decision now instead of later
Barry as backup point isn't bad. It gets him minutes and he'll help spread the court.
He's a bad defender against point guards, but Beno isn't exactly a lockdown defender himself.
Perhaps Pop and the brass should have pursued this guy as a alternative. He's not much of a shooter, but he certainly would have satisfied their appe e for international flavor and could have fit the bill as a backup PG.
Wolves' Jaric Ready And Looking For A Fresh Start
4th October, 2006 - 11:45 pm
Associated Press - Marko Jaric is looking for a fresh start.
At the end of last season, the 6-foot-7 guard was tired, disappointed and frustrated. He'd lost his spot in the Timberwolves' starting lineup, and on some nights, he'd lost his place in the rotation.
"I couldn't wait for last season to end," Jaric said. "I was not happy with my situation, and I'm sure the team was not happy with me."
So he spent the offseason improving his quickness, ball-handling and at ude.
"I've worked hard, and I'm even more hungry to show people who I am," he said. "I feel like I'm ready for this season."
Timberwolves coach Dwane Casey said Wednesday he's seen the change. When Jaric came to camp last year after a trade for Sam Cassell and a No. 1 draft choice, he had tired legs and a tired mind from playing in a tournament for the Yugoslavian national team.
is he more injury prone then speedy
this might make spurs pick up devin
I wonder what question Pop was answering. I guess it was about Beno's minutes, maybe?
Yaric played with Ginobili in Italy, but he's not the answer. I don't know if Jaric is an NBA point guard. I saw him do a whole lot of nothing in LA.
Speedy actually gets injured. He's torn an ACL, dislocated his shoulder and currently is out with a broken bone.
Beno gets bruises, strains and sprainos and refuses to fight through it. Oh and don't forget how he missed two weeks last year because he had the sniffles.

Beno turns the ball over too much for Pop to trust him.
Spite is a feeling of resentment against someone leading to a petty desire to do them injury.
Pop isn't trying to injure Beno with this interview. Beno is doing his own career an injury perhaps by not doing all the things necessary to make sure he's in shape and always ready to play.
Pop is just telling it like it is without any sugar-coating and trying to motivate the guy into becoming a sound professional player.
I just never understood why Pop signs wuss talent and believes they have potential.
Outside of Manu and Parker, their foreign scouting blows. The only reason they get credit for anything is because Tim Duncan is there to clean up all the bull and keep some happy and make them look good.
Not surprised.
Scouting reports from the day he was drafted said he was injury proned and not tough.
With that said, I think Beno brings it this year.
He is capable of playing NBA caliber basketball, but he needs to get his together and needs to understand that he is in a privileged situation with the Spurs, and not stuck with the Hawks.

did he lose weight?
The Hawks? Damn, could you imagine having Speedy as your starter and Beno as the backup?
