My guess on the training camp weight is 248.

255 with a tiny chin showing

You've nailed it like you've nailed nothing else on this board.

**Marcus Bryant** · 07-01-2008

Then you're asking Pop to change his ways.

**Spurtacus** · 07-01-2008

Good for Beno. Bad for Kings.

Agreed, especially after Pop knew that he was going to sink or swim with NVE that next year. There was no reason not to move Beno for value.

My only argument would be that nobody is particularly good at selling players at their highest.

Beno >Vaughn and the coyote.

My guess, that is the weight of your head right now.
I can understand ignorant, but being pigheaded is another matter.

The only thing I've seen that prompted the Spurs to move Beno was Beno's going to the press wanting to be moved.

**MI21** · 07-02-2008

Wow... 2 championships and now a pay day, Beno can just coast along and chill out. The Kings are fooling themselves if they think he is going to keep improving.

**LakerHater** · 07-02-2008

Even the Clippers were bidding on him?

**Dario** · 07-02-2008

GJ beno i guess, kings aren't going far for a couple of years...

The Spurs let him go and he was able to fool the Kings. Cutting him did him a favor it turned out.

He was a liability here due to his lack of clutchness and being turnover machine. Now he can draw the big dollars and be a rock star in Sac town. No pressure. It suits him well.

i bet ive been watching the spurs longer then you...i watch players i dont care about FA...every yr i have the league pass and i watch tons of games....pop held beno back not beno....pop wanted a guy like jacque and look now....we still got him...meaning no disrepect FA is for fans who have nothing else todo but guess...beno would toast jacque....

**Mr.Bottomtooth** · 07-02-2008

Beno sucked as a Spur. Plain and simple.

**Marcus Bryant** · 07-02-2008

Beno's in the perfect situation. He has the starting spot on a lottery team and has a nice fat contract...without much pressure at all.

I can't believe Petrie gave him that contract.

That was more due to the Spurs' ineptness than Beno's. But since I'm a Spurs fan before I'm a Beno fan I'm just glad he's no longer our problem.

What did the Spurs do to beno, that was inept?

Too much playing time.

no, no, no. Beno never belonged on the Spurs in the first place. That was RC's choice and Beno is too much of a puss to deal with a head coach like Pop. Beno had a couple of years to show his worth and he never did. Beno's playing time dropped, because his play got worse and worse. Pop wanted a player like Jacque, because he's a solid PG, and he can defend. Beno is a shooter/scorer that didn't fit in our system, and his head couldn't fit through the damn locker room door. How the can you be a bad player and go to the media to ask for a trade? That's retarted. Beno cheated himself out of a spot on this team. No reason to blame Pop.
