What would make sense is to add a 3 like GRobinson or Lynch and send Beno to Austin.
You laugh but when Beno brings the ball up the court, I get the feeling he should order this for christmas.

I was laughing at the thought of Zimmerman beating him out in Austin.
Link? Or rumor?
Rumor/assumption.
Dermarr Johnson has turned offers greater than the minimum to stay with Denver.
The only one we could have had is Barnes.
Just because players didn't come here doesn't mean the Spurs weren't interested or didn't make offers. The Spurs were in negotiations with other players when Finley decided to come-- Jason Kapono for one. Why do you think he signed so late with Miami-- October 2?
As I said before Beno is too slow for the point guard position. His future is as a Steve Kerr type.
Does anyone know how bad Brent Barry and Michael Finley injuries are?
Pop said yesterday that they'd likely be out another five days or so.
And all the 10 swingmen who could be had for peanuts and a few extra are there for the taking, if needed. Of the swingmen out there, none would even see the floor if not for unexpected injury.
If you are going to act like it was a major oversight not to have an extra scrub, what trash would you spew if Duncan, Manu or Parker went down. Would Holt be to blame because he did not spemd to stash another star ready to step in.?
Why all the hate for Holt? It just looks silly.
Ownership has a voice, but as has been seen on multiple occasions, Holt will take his marching orders from Pop and RC when it comes to pulling the trigger on roster moves.
The management TEAM, which includes ownership; all understand that shrew fiscally prudent roster decisions have had a huge impact on the Spurs championship success.
All of this furor is over a short stretch of the season where we've had injuries to all of our swingmen at the same time. At 6-2, in Nov. I don't see panic as a solution. Let's see what happens when they return.
As far as another swingman, I don't see him getting ANY time if they return. Anyone who we'd be interested in as a real future player wouldn't get enough time to stay in game shape.
And some, like Ebi, wouldn't accept a seat at the end of the bench.
Who is this timvp guy anyway?
Why limit yourself over a relatively minor payroll expense addition in the NBA? We're not discussing the potential addition of a $50 mil, 6 year contract. Sure, you can be prolifigate in the NBA but you can also be a bit too tight.
Seems like a no-brainer at this point would be to bring back Big Dog. Known quan y, instant offense, mid range game, pro-rated salary (league picks up a chunk of all 10 year vet min contracts), would probably cost the Spurs less than half of what it would have cost to keep Devin, familiar with the system, true small forward.
Sign him up.![]()
When everyone's healthy, it wouldn't even be at the end of the bench. It would be in street clothes. It takes the right kind of player to spend the season on the inactive list and not be a potential problem. Normally the guys are either kids who are trying to break into the league or well-adjusted guys like Marks who know the score and can accept that they've got a pretty good deal.
Personally, I'd rather take a chance on a guy like Sanders who is hungry for a chance than a guy like Rodney White who has had teams begging to keep giving him chances, but who has repeatedly squandered them all.
Yeah Marcus, watching Manu tear up Houston tonight I can't help but think the guy needs restyou have Manu forced to play while he should be resting.![]()
wing depth is just as important as post depth, which are twice as important as point depth
weird
I am reminded of the Spurs cheapskateness watching Derek Anderson excel on the Rockets.
He has two points, for the season he is averaging ten. He's an amnesty player which basically means his previous team (Portland) found out he was grossly overpaid....
This is irony, right?
Every time I see DA, I think of the bullet the Spurs dodged.
La france a parlé!
I completely 120% agree.
PS: i respect all opinions but i have to admit i am very irritated by persons that keeps talking about themselves at the third person! Timvp??? are you having a bigheadcomplex?
