No, I 100% agree. He is a terrible basketball player.
You are absolutely right. However, Turiaf is flat out worse than Blair. And why would we want to play for someone worse than Blair. I want Diaw, and I don't want Turiaf on this roster. Hopefully they Spurs don't sign this guy, only to see Diaw available a week later.
Tony is listed as 6'2'' (with shoes)
Turiaf can play good defense though which allows more flexibility in lineups. Remember that whole "turd towers" thing?
Turiaf is a MUCH better defender than Blair, and that's what the spurs need! A big body guy like Turing would help quite a bit.
Honestly Do we really want Diaw? Everybody says he's soft as , and that is not what the spurs need.
Do we know if we've been seriously linked to him, and who else has?
Boston & Miami. Haven't seen us yet
I'm pulling his stats for the season and it says hes only played in four games this year. Has he been hurt? If not, why hasn't he played?
Regardless, I'm assuming hes not really in game shape now. We'd have to break him back in.
I personally like the Diaw prospect much much better. But with Turiaf currently available, and Diaw not, I don't really know what to do. Fortunately it will take a little while for him to clear waivers and maybe the Diaw picture will become more clear in that time.
cant we get both players?
its not like both have any compe ion to make the french NT.....
Really? So Parker grew a inch. Interesting.
Turiaf would help a lot in a match up against Lakers or Memphis.
We have NO CHANCE with Blair and Bonner playing minutes against those teams
Turiaf would be great to bang Z-Bo, Gasols and Bynum
Get him. No sense in waiting for Diaw to possibly be bought out. Roster stands at 14 including Eric Dawson and Patty Mills. We've got the room to squeeze Turiaf and Diaw in once Dawson's 10 day expires. Spurs FO can't be cheap in these final years; pay the damn luxury tax.
Edit. Is max roster size still 15 with 12 suited for game?

More like 2-3. Parker isn't 6'2. A little taller than 6 but not 6'2.
How about that rebounding?
Blair 5.8 in 21 mins
Turiaf 3.0 in 14 minutes
Just say no.
If you watch any games against Dallas, he's taller than JKidd who's listed at 6'4" and always has been.
says diaw is placed on inactive list should be bought out soon
between the two not sure who would help more like others have stated two really different players
The fact is we could use both. We need bodies to throw at the array of bigs we'll see in the playoffs.
Turiaf and Duncan are great friends. I wouldn't doubt him coming to SA. He's one of my favorite players in the league.
him too.
What if we got both?
I said a while ago that I think Turiaf is the better fit, because he'd allow Splitter to start, he can defend both big positions and he can protect the rim. There's no question Diaw is the more talented player, but he's not talented enough to where that should supersede fit.
I agree with timvp, that the Spurs should at least contact his agent and pretend to be seriously interested, in case Diaw doesn't get bought out. And he might not, because he's the only known buyout candidate who's still playing some for his team. Turiaf is already going to be more difficult to sign to begin with, because he's a center. The Celtics and Heat have interest. He'd either start or be the first big off the bench with the Celtics. With the Heat, he'll be no more than a sparingly used fourth big, but he'd have his best chance at a ring. Even if the Spurs were seriously interested though, with the news that O'Neal is done with the Celtics and Wilcox is out for the season, that's going to be difficult to turn down for him. With the Spurs, I can't see him being promised a spot in the rotation.
If it's on the cheap thats probably ideal. What are the chances of that though?
Knowing the Spurs they probably won't sign either. Watch it be some other bought out player and or stick with guys like Dawson.
They're not going forward with Dawson. He was only signed to round out a minimum roster number for the Dallas game with TJ and RJ gone and Jack not yet here.
Bruno, how can you have Bonner in the playoff rotation? If we had those players how would you have the rotation? What is your personal opinion of Bonner, Bruno?Agree, that's Spurs/Pop plan.
