Who Is/Was The Worst Spur Of All Time And Why?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Terry Porter was great in his original role off the bench, but was way too old to be starting. Van Exel's knees were done by the time he got to SA, so there's no comparison. If I had to pick a top 5, containing only players who actually played, it would be

1. Vinny Del Negro - Red McCombs, you suck for letting Strickland walk and replacing him with a worthless soft Euro. Not paying Strickland was probably the thing that wrecked Robinson's prime years more than anything. Man, the Spurs could run like back when Rocket Rod was playing the point. Instead we got a guy who had no point guard skills and could drop 20 on Atlanta in February but nothing in a game that meant much. Watching Del Negro on Drexler was like pulling the hairs out your nut sack with duct tape.

2. Steve Smith - LOL @ him threatening to hold out when Pop wouldn't give him an extension to his massively bloated $10 million a year salary. Just no hustle whatsoever from this guy. I understand not being able to move laterally when you have bad knees, but dive for a loose ball every once in a while in the playoffs when you're making 8 figures.

3. Samaki Walker - Straight up worthless. Dumbest player in franchise history and one of the softest on top of that. Then that loser went and called Robinson soft on LA radio? Nothing defines soft like taking the cortisone shot and guarding Shaq two days after you couldn't walk, I guess. Walker and the ring he got piggybacking Shaq.

4. Paul Pressey - Can you believe the Spurs gave up Frank Brickowski for this guy? Pressey played well with mings in Milwaukee, but man he sucked in SA. About the only good thing you can say about Pressey is that it was funny watching him hold Pop back from the refs after every bad call.

5. Matt Bonner - Power forwards who can't rebound nor defend should never be getting 20 minutes a night. Bonner has to be Popovich's biggest mistake. The Spurs become defensive turnstiles any time he is on the floor.

Hard to go past that list, although I don't give Nasty Nick a free pass for bad knees - he should have retired rather than putting us through that horrific he put out on the court.

I agree With Baseline Bums Post.... But I have to Throw Another Name in there...... Negele Knight, He might have been one of the Worst point guards I have Ever seen. I think he was With the Spurs In the 93-94 season.

Can't be Rodman. He rang 5 times with other squads. Must have been a leadership issue, tbh.

The question isn't who was the worst player to be a Spur but who was the worst Spur.

Charles Smith is one that comes to mind.

He was pretty bad. I think Spurs got him post Knicks. He wasn't so good as a Knick either.

[Tuche]

Sidney Green was the worst. Big contract = Big no production. We could not get rid of him.

I liked him as a Knick. He had nice footwork around the basket. Very fundamentally sound player.

I'm a fan of solid fundamentals too.
