Wow, this is an excellent pop show. Much information learned.
The big question mark regarding Beno his whole career is his compe iveness. Perhaps what happened is he asked out of the Finals after game two. Or perhaps the Spurs didn't think he cared enough.
Something happened to make the Spurs give up on him. He has the talent and is a great shooter, so it'd be interesting to hear what exactly happened.
If you believe the active roster must fit to a certain form, then the perimeter rotation would look like...
Starters
1 Parker
2 Ginobili
3 Bowen
Bench
1 NVE
2 Barry
2 Brown or Finley
3 GRob or Barnes
That gives you a pure point backup and 3 swings on the bench. Pretty much the standard NBA format.
Of course, there is nothing that says you must have a prototypical rotation. I'd be surprised if they landed Finley but hey, they just got NVE.
If they got Finley and retained GRob the Spurs would have one of an experienced, versatile, and nasty bench.
I think Wilks is history.
Man I can't wait for the first time a team doubles off of NVE and he pops the three.
Time to dust off the ol' Nick Van Exel Laker jersey I wore in middle school.
NVE is now signed.
Indeed. Other than his struggles against trapping he had a great rookie campaign, at least from what I saw on the court.
NVE is a Spur.
WOO HOO, It's OFFICIAL!!!
Barrett, Alex Garcia, Jay Williams.
There are enough third PGs on the market that Beno becomes expendable. I guess that the Spurs might keep Beno with the thinking that he'll learn how to have 'heart' from NVE.
Bench
1 NVE
2 Barry
2 Finley
3 Robinson
4 Horry
5 Oberto
5 Nesterovic
So Van Exel is coming for sure? I'm confused. Or is this all speculation?
Pop sounded as Finley won't be signing with the Spurs. He thinks he'll be with the Suns if not then the Heat.Bench
1 NVE
2 Barry
2 Finley
3 Robinson
4 Horry
5 Oberto
5 Nesterovic
HOw do we know its official?
Yes. It is official. NVE is a Spur. He was just signed.
If you are listening to the Pop Show then you would know.
I was listening in the car and practically jumping out of my seat! I was never sold on Finley, but I am very excited about NVE. He can play point and the 2 spot. The 2 isn't his strength, but he can provide some relief minutes there - especially shooting minutes if Brent goes cold again.
NVE is a Spur.
Is he signed? Pop said he was getting a physical and then ... Didn't say on the show he'd already signed.
Yes!!!
It was just announced on the Ticket 760 during Sports Talk San Antonio.
It's official. I posted the press release from the Spurs.
Thanks Spurstalk. I feel like an insider.
NVE, Manu, Finley, Horry, Duncan.
Can you say MOTHA IN' Clutch?
