    Where the does SARS get minutes on this team?
    At the PF, and when matchups at the SF dictate it. A perfect example would be when Detroit ran a Wallace-Wallace-McDyess front line. Another matchup I think he'd do well at would be against Rashard Lewis. The other would be against Odom.

    A defensive-minded swing man, Scola, and possibly even a backup point guard are things that need to be addressed before the Spurs look to add Shareef.
    I think they'll address the swingman in the draft or through FA. Scola is obviously priority one. We've got our third backup at the point in Barry.

    it's not a certainty that he wouldn't accept a minor role and a small amount of money.
    It goes without saying that if SAR is going to come, he's going to have to accept a significant pay cut AND accept limited minutes.

    I don't think he'd be floating the idea of playing for SA out there if he was worried about getting paid.

    Yeah, we understand how you want to use him. But whose minutes are you thinking he's taking?

    So what are going to do with Horry and Scola? They won't play in the regular season?

    We don't need to use Horry in the regular season, just thaw him out in April for the playoffs

    I like Scola. I really like the idea of a Duncan-Nazr-Horry-Scola-Rahim rotation at the 4-5 spot.

    Get SAR and you can go find your long SF with Rasho as trade bait.

    Tell SAR not to sign any long term deals and get him in a couple of years when Horry retires. Just don't see him fitting now.

    What were you smoking during the games? The Pistons never ran that lineup.

    Like I said, the only way SARS makes sense is if the Spurs lose Horry. If that doesn't happen, there is no room. Getting the most talented players possible isn't what the Spurs are about and that's not what wins. If it were, Dallas and Portland would have swept the last decade.

    With the addition of Scola, the bigman rotation will already be cramped as it is next season. You have Duncan, Mohammed, Horry, Scola and Nesterovic. Even if the Spurs give away Rasho, SARS isn't going to come here for like 15 minutes of playing time (at most) during the regular season.

    I'd rather the Spurs keep Rasho and see how Scola pans out. If Scola is good, trade Rasho. If Scola sucks, keep Rasho or get someone like SARS. These rumors have gone on for the last five years, I'm sure the Spurs could get him next season if necessary.

    Abdur-Rahim is a 28-year-old guy who averages 35 mpg and made nearly $15M this past season. If he were a few years older than perhaps he'd want 15mpg and $2M, but I don't think he'd really want that this season.

    I think it was game 4 or 5 they hit us with that for a few minutes.

    Like I siad, if you're serious about SAR then Rasho becomes expendable for a long three.

    if he would come here theres no question that he'd take horry's mins (at least in the regular season) i mean talk about a luxury that other teams dont have... worrying about horry's regular season playing time?

    i would think that sars would be nice to have as a scoring option? but horry would probably only play based on matchups, or whether or not he needs work late in the season to get ready for the playoffs, or injuries?

    scola i'm thinking wouldnt get much playing time at all until next season or if horry retires? unless (god forbid) you had an injury?

    The Pistons never had the two Wallaces and McDyess out there at the same time. That is certainly something I would have noticed as I watched each game at least three times

    horry should only play 10 minutes during the regular season next year a game
    also scola is not a spur yet
    if sar wants to come it is something YOU HAVE TO CONSIDER


    scola may take a year to develop
    and some do not like his rebounding habbits

    if he never played with manu would anyone be high on him?
    I wanted scola over rose. but mostly because manu and scola played together
    it takes alteast one year for people playing with manu to expect manu's passes

    HORRY WANTS TO PLAY 2 MORE YEARS AND THEN BE A SCOUT OR COACH

    I DO NOT SEE HIM LEAVING TO MAKE MORE $$$$$$$$$
    HIS FAMILY LIVES IN HOUSTON AND ONE REASON HE WANTED OUT OF LA WAS TO BE NEAR HIS FAMILY

    SAR makes sense if you see him replacing Nazr in the starting lineup. Defensively, Duncan would have to nut up and guard the opposing 5. In general, I think SAR's offensive game would complement Duncan's well. Defensively you would lose some shot blocking and physical presence up front. SAR's body isn't that bigger than the average 3 in the league.

    SAR isn't going to get a new contract starting anywhere near his 2004-05 salary.

    Honestly, I think the Spurs need more muscle up front, not less. Rahim's offensive skills would be a welcome sight after Nazr and Rasho, but this team is built on defense and Rahim has never struck me as that much of a banger in the paint.

    He should replace Duncan in the starting lineup. Him and Nazr starting together?!?!?!

    The power of Allah's mighty hand would shine through and make the Spurs a true dynasty!


    Praise Allah!!

    I remember seeing this a while back on realgm.com or one of those sites and then today I saw it on espn.com and then heard it on the radio. I also heard Barkley say on xm radio that the spurs have something big cooking and could announce it as early as July. Man, would I love to convince him to take a huge pay cut for a year or two.......

    PG-Parker, Udrih
    SG-Ginobili, Barry
    SF-Abdur-Rahim, Bowen, L.Johnson
    PF-Duncan, Horry, Scola
    C-Mohammad, Nesterovic

    Even if we cant land Shareef, I love the idea of Sprewell or Houston. I think Houston would fit in the best and move Barry to back-up PG.

    I'm glad this thread finally got into absurdity.

    It's an absurd idea. The Spurs have no need for SARS. I saw it brought up between Greg Anthony and Marc Stein on ESPN and thought it was just another asinine ESPN segment. Which it was.

    There's no money for him, even if he commands considerably less than last year. Then there's no minutes for him, too, since he wants to start after getting stuck in a logjam for too long.

    Let some other team try to drag him into the playoffs for the first time.
