McDonald: Spurs Reserve Faces Crucial Days

[SenorSpur]

Common sense must prevail here. The Spurs need scoring. Sign Salim and Farmer. It's exactly what the team needs. Use the sensible Orlando trade as Timvp metioned previously. Salim will strecth the floor and Farmer is another weapon in the wings. Salim has so much potential and it will be a massive mistake not to sign him. J.Vaughn pack your bags, Orlando is your new home.

Are you forgetting Ginobili will be coming back in Dec? There's no way to divvy up playing time for such a crowded backcourt. Scoring is definitelly a necessity, but that's why the signed Mason. If the Spurs can't get enough scoring from TP, Hill, Mason and Finley, then they're screwed anyway.

I wouldn't have an issue if JV was traded, but don't expect it. If you believe that he will, you're grossly underestimating Pop. It is an interesting dilemma. Pop wants and needs scoring, but he's -bent on keeping JV on the roster.

The Spurs need a decent back up PG, we haven't had a back up PG in years. Salim is that solution. It's common sense, would you rather have the combo of Parker,Hill and Salim or Parker, Hill and JV?

I doubt Pop gets rid of JV but if it were to happen it would be great and such a relief. I havent forgot about Manu, but having more weapons on the offensive end isn't going to hurt especially when your a team that goes through offensive droughts. Pop would just have to give the playing time to those who perform.

Where did I say we're going to make a Gasol like trade? I said we're probably not going to make a good trade at the trade deadline so you may as well dump Vaughn now.

We're not dumping Vaughn, at least not until February. Might as well get that off your system now.

First problem with Stoudamire is he's NOT a PG. He's a streaky shooter in a PG's body. While he may be instant offense, he's also a terrible defender.

That said, I'd still take him over Vaughn too. However, it doesn't matter what I or anyone else thinks. Pop is not going to jettison JV from the roster.
