bout ing time.
Even though Udoka is only 6-foot-5, I think he'll be right up there when it's time to decide who guards Dirk. Pop put Devin Brown on Dirk (with success, I might add). Pop also put Malik on Dirk. Udoka could fit that mold even better than Bowen because Udoka is a better rebounder.

I hope they use barry for more of a backup point
I hope after the allstar break if they keep barry
they do not try to play all the swing men
to hard to give decent minutes to everyone
Udoka is more athletic, better leaper, stronger than Bruce?
And if Tony can turn Spanoulis around!
Sanikidze and Splitter next summer, holy fncking , we're rockin and sockin!
Exactly. If they can maneuver all of that in one off-season, that's a big thumbs up for me.Flip Beno into V-Span, sign Mahinmi and avoid giving Williams a charity roster spot and I'll give this offseason a
Agreed. But, for arguments sake, let's say that VSpan just simply doesn't want any part of the NBA again. So now we're looking at possibly keeping Beno, or would there be a better option out there for PG? I agree that Mahinmi should get the last spot and Williams in Euro, but the reserve PG slot that currently belongs to Beno is the big issue to me. How long can the Spurs let this guy drag on the coattails without pulling his own weight?The Rockets trade was a bad start, not to mention the drafting on Marcus Williams. However, the Spurs could end up having a rather nice offseasn if they can dump Beno and add V-Span. The last spot on the roster should probably go to Mahinmi.
I'd like to see Marcus Williams either sign outright with the Toros (if that's legal) or sign with a European team.

Great news
Next thing is get ride of Beno and find a PG
The big thing is now instead of picking your poison with Dirk and JHoward and who Bowen takes, you've got Bowen and Udoka to check Dirk and Howard.
Great signing.
Beno and Barry might be on their way out, meaning the Spurs can potentially add V-Span (if convinced), Mahinmi, and Williams.
If it happens, the additions of V-Span, Udoka, Mahinmi, and Williams gives the Spurs one of a good offseason, some good youth, and plus we get rid of Beno, which is of course a plus.
And if V-Span does decide to play with the Spurs, it makes the trade with Houston look a whole lot less stupid.
lets see if the mavs can hold their end of the bargain this year and play the spurs
id like to see barry stick around while beno gets booted... add spanoulis and mahinmi and were set.
Bout damn time. I say hold on to Barry. Sure the Spurs are overloaded at the wing, but they are also older than at the wing. If they can't get youth then they need depth. Udoka's had some injury problems it seems. Barry, Finley, and Bowen have a combined age of 704. And even with Pop managing his minutes Ginobili will get banged up at some point. Any one of those guys could end up on the DL for a stretch this season, and every one has proved they are capable of stepping up into the starting line up should they need to. That's the kind of depth you want on your bench.
Pop doesn't like playing Barry at backup point, so I'm not sure if they would keep him around for that.
I think having that many wings is a waste - I'd still try to move Barry, Beno and whoever else to get a real backup point.
I think I deserve another spur for being way ahead of the curve on this! Good signing by the Spurs. Ime is an excellent player and an even better person!
portland got the bad end of the sitck on these deal
portland fans can not be happy with letting him walk with such a low deal
Nate Dizzle?
Woo. Now trade Barry+Beno for Earl Watson.
Finally... feels good to see it official.
They just resigned Vaughn to more money than he deserves....IMO that leads me to believe the Spurs think he will be the "Real" backup PG.
Though I think he just had a lucky run last season where he didn't mess up too much!
Um, Vaughn was re-signed to a minimum contract. In other words, the Spurs couldn't pay him less.
Kori, I think the reason Pop doesn't like to use Barry as back up PG too much is that he can't guard some of the stronger, bigger, more talented PGs in the league -- Dwayne Wade, Deron Williams, Baron Davis, Stephon Marbury, Jason Kidd, etc. But I seem to remember him spending some time against Nash as back up PG, because Nash is somewhat easier for him to defend, and doesn't play D himself so Barry can get off shots against him.
Barry and Vaughn make a pretty decent back up PG tandem, although if we could upgrade I'd be happy. Not really sure whether we can though -- Brevin Knight and Troy Hudson are the best available out there and they're both kind of head cases and/or already signed.
He already signed with the Clippers anyways.
I've been really curious about Spanoulis since we got him. Despite his horrid showing in Houston last year, I would love to roll the dice on this guy. He can do some amazing things in the right setting and I would love to be the NBA team that tempered that flame. At 6'4 the guy could even play some shooting guard in different situations. I'm just simply jazzed about him potentially playing on our squad.
Parker...convince this guy to stick around! And then convince Pop to trade Beno.
PS: The Udoka signing is pimp too.
I'm fine with Vaughn as the backup PG, but I just want to see Beno's sorry ass get booted off the team. I don't care who they bring in as the #3 PG.
