They think that something smells here, but we know something smells over there.......
Why don't you make a good trade Kerr?
Kerr gambled with Shaq, and I'm sure the fear of not knowing whether he's made the right move (from my perspective on the couch, it's a bad one) only increased his frustration over not landing Barry. I like the guy. Great player, Johnny-on-the-spot shooter, smart TV man. But if I were in his shoes, I'd probably be grinding my teeth, too.
A job's a job. Spurs fans should be proud of the fact that ex-players are out there in key NBA positions. Imitation is the highest form of flattery. What Kerr obviously needs to learn is patience: San Antonio's success, while based upon one phenomenal player, didn't all come about overnight. In Duncan's early years I just don't think there was much supporting cast (apart from the Admiral) around him; but that was okay because the league wasn't quite as high powered as it is now. I think ten, twenty years ago you could build a championship team around just one (re Jordan) or two (re Magic and Kareem) superstars. Nowadays, it takes at least three. In a few more years, it might take four or even five.
Meanwhile, I wish Presti and Kerr nothing but the best. The more they succeed, the more obvious it is that the Spurs are the model organization, and it's sweeter to be the best when everyone knows it!
Kerr has a myriad of issues that he's going to have to deal with. Player decisions, style changes, impending free agency issues, draft, coaches evaluation, etc. With all that, he just needs to STFU!
He needs to read the CBA, apologize to Donyell Marshall, and move on.
Well so much for Kerr crossing sides but not going to into full attack mode against the Spurs. He has officially gone to the Dark Side now.
Spurs locker room after the end of a game . . .Suns think something smells in San Antonio
I hope Pop gives him another stern comment, the next time the two cross paths.
Kerr's comment about Marshall was really uncalled for. One would think an executive would exhibit a little more class than to belittle someone that has had nothing to do with his organization.
Very true.
Hey, we're all indebted to Kerr for his contributions when he was a player with the Spurs - especially his Game 6 heroics in the 2003 WCSF versus the Mavs. All that aside, STFU!
He smells the Championship Trophies....he misses that smell and realizes he wont ever smell it again.
Kerr is stupid to think that Sonics would waive Marshall. Marshall trade would not have happened had Sonics not waived a player because Sonics had one extra player. Stupid Kerr should know more about it
On the other hand, I can say without a doubt that there was NOT an altercation going on.
There wasn't anything close to a "heated confrontation" between two players.
I'm not going to defend Kerr on these comments. Sure, on the srface it looks a little iffy, but unlike the Stackhouse situation, no comments were made to give credence to such a line of thought. If I'm Barry and I'm released and my top three options are a Houston team that just lost Yao, a Phoenix team that's like 2-8 since acquiring Shaq and San Antonio, then I'll choose 30 days of rest and San Antonio.
However, the above comment and any like it are just hogwash. Not only did Kerr save your asses in 2002-03 in a hadful of crucial games, he's NOT a loser. He's made as many big shots for le-winning teams as Horry has. Maybe not as memorable, but certainly as many. He has won five les, and while he was little more than a role player, he's one of the players ever to earn the respect and trust of Michael Jordan in crunch time.
he may be off on this topic, and he may be the GM of a sinking ship, though it's arguable that it was sinking before they brought him in as GM, but Kerr is one of the classiest winners in Sports. He wasn't a great player, but he was great at what he did. That shouldn't be belittled simply because he voiced some su ions on a topic that I've seen stories posted in the forum all but confirming (The worst kept secret thread where Barry never fully cleaned out his Spurs locker).
I mean, what the is a matter with you people? You may have lost to the freakin' Nets in 02-03 without Kerr.
That said, his comments on Marshall were unnecessary and do make him look bad. Right or wrong, he shouldn't have went there. You can voice your reaction to the Barry back to Spurs situation without bringing up other unaffiliated players.
He could have at least brought up a player that actually could have been waived at the time.
He shouldn't have brought another player into the discussion at all. That's what made him appear bad, not the other Barry comments.
Yeah, Kerr could have mentioned Elson.
Actually, mentioning Marshall made him appear stupid and inept since he could never have been waived in lieu of Barry.
That is the statement that makes him appear to be a .
By saying nothing, Kerr could have avoided the creating his appearance as that of a stupid, inept .
He chose to speak.
Kerr = dumbest GM in recent history with Suns
And that's the main reason why Kerr is so frustrated. He doesn't have any proof what he's suggesting is actually happening.
It's pretty cheap, to say "it seems" and then hide behind a rock.
I don't think there's anything wrong with that second quote of yours. Connect the dots. It's hard not to think such. Again, I don't fault Barry for passing on the Suns or Rockets in favor of the Spurs. Not one bit. But I also don't fault Kerr for saying Barry from San Antonio to Seattle by way of a former Spurs assistant, then back to San Antonio once waived seems a little iffy. it certainly looks it on the surface and I've seen articles talking about how Barry never cleaned out his Spurs locker once traded posted in this very forum. Those posts were practically celebrated, but when an outsider questions such, they are a for doing so? Come on! That doesn't add up.
Kerr can be a for a number of reasons. In this case, I think largely for dragging an unaffiliated player into the discussion, but if you're calling him a for having an opinion on a iffy situation, then you're just looking for an excuse to dislike him.
Not every one-time Spur can be Elliott.
I'm not saying you have to celebrate what he's said, or even agree with it, but if having an opinion on a topic makes you a , then every poster in every forum in all the world is one.
HAHAHHA
What we're saying is that he looks stupid for mentioning a player that CAN'T be waived, mean for mentioning a player that wasn't involved in the dispute, and he looks like a for griping about it when it just sounds lame. His team is in a tail-spin and it looks like an odd combination of sour-grapes and a scape-goat.
