Reply With QuoteI don't see there being room for Jack in the rotation anymore even if we trade Mercer.
We should really deal for a PG anyway.
If we can find a team with capspace in need of a wing cough*denver*cough*utah*cough* to take Mercer in exchange for a draft pick or perhaps a young PG- we can still sign Jack. I hope this is what happens.

i liked the way the guy played "balls out basketball"... but with this trade... we don't need sjax. (he's not a finished player and probably never will be) as it was before the trade, alot of people (including myself) were already penciling in manu as the starter. sjax is just raw, and at his age, thats not a good thing...
Ghost, me too.Kori, I am pissed that the addition of Hedo & Mercer basically signals the end of Jackson.
But I think that the Spurs may deal Mercer (for a PG) and try to retain Jack. Jack's agent is being ri ulous and ruining everything. Hopefully Jack takes the reins back on his own life and they straighten it out. Don't give up yet.
I love Jack here too. And he needs to realize that it will damage him more than it will damage the Spurs if he ends up elsewhere. He will only flourish in SA.
So I guess that means TD doesn't like "ballas"? Oh no.If I heard the reports from KENS TV correctly, Duncan put the kybosh on the Rose for Spree trade.
Blame Jack's agent if he's truly gone.
He decided to **** around while the Spurs simply did what they had to ensure they had THREE guys to replace him.
Duncan was just looking out for his best friend on the team.
Ghost, IMO if Mercer is dealt, Jack can still get 20-24 minutes in the rotation.
Yeah Ghost, like his former "best friend on the team" Daniels, right?
Give it up, kid.
Funny, I think it means Duncan figured Spree wasn't worth the cost.Duncan was just looking out for his best friend on the team.
I think Tim drove AD to the airport for his flight to Portland, too.
kori... even if mercer is delt, 20-24 mins is a little high for the 4th swingman in the rotation? if you plan on playing hedo at all, i think it would be best for sjax to just part company with the spurs... it would hurt to go from starting, to being a 4th guy depth option player.
I think it means that Duncan is like me, and demanded Spreewell ditch the Predator hair. Spree was obviously unwilling to do that.
In my scenario, Manu would see some minutes at the point, opening up some more time at the 2/3.kori... even if mercer is delt, 20-24 mins is a little high for the 4th swingman in the rotation? if you plan on playing hedo at all, i think it would be best for sjax to just part company with the spurs... it would hurt to go from starting, to being a 4th guy depth option player.
Rasho 30
Duncan 38
Malik 28
Horry spot minutes
Manu 30 (22 at SG, 8 at PG)
Jack 22
Bowen 25
Hedo 27
Parker 35
Kerr/backup pt 5
Just an idea.
Popd@mmit that's awful Kori. Why can't we have a rotation like the Knicks? Now those guys know how to build a team!
But if Jack is gone. I would boost up Bowen, Manu and Hedo's minutes and limit Mercer to around 10 mpg.
I will be interested in seeing what the Spurs front office will do with these new players.
I am still intrigued by Mercer. He may not be an all-star, but he had some impressive stats a couple of years ago.
Hopefully, the best players get the most minutes. Pop will make that happen (I have faith simply because he was willing to start Tony Parker at game 4).
Why do you think Duncan wanted Rose instead of Sprewell, dipsh1t?
Question.
P.S.
The dipsh1t I am referring to is Marcus, of course.
kori, thats not a bad idea, but it may be too many mins for parker during the regular season and playing manu at point might do him more harm than good in his second year. (and why do all that when you can get a cheap guy with semi-decent skills)
I think that Parker could easily play those minutes, but it was just a notion. And I am just not sure if you can get a point guard for the minimum. So I was just throwing around ideas in my head.kori, thats not a bad idea, but it may be too many mins for parker during the regular season and playing manu at point might do him more harm than good in his second year.

Prob cause Duncan isnt high on Sprewell like you Ghost.
And afraid to break it to ya pasty, but thats all that counts.
Duncan's opinion. Now stfu already.
Yeah Ghost, no friend of Duncan's will ever be dealt. Get your correct, homer.
All good signings.
I'm too tired to read all of Ghost's ramblings to the contrary, but I don't see a bad signing in that group.
The overall talent of the team, regardless of whether we lose Jackson, is up.
We've added three guys in Turk, Rasho, and Horry who can hit shots. Turk and Horry are guys who can play multiple positions. Mercer is a tough, hard-nosed type of player.
A team that won a championship last year got BETTER.
Add to that the fact that the Spurs are once-again positioned to have salary options next season, and I'd say the future is bright.
The trade for Hedo boosts my offseason grade for the Spurs from D to B.
the trade for Hedo will be a
look back in two years and laugh, Jermaine Oneal- Dale Davis type deal.
Mark it down...
