No and yes. I can't figure out why people are so high on spending the only real FA money they have on him-- and being committed for 5 years.
Reggie Evans makes so much more sense than Przybilla. At least Evans has a chance to play in the playoffs. Przybilla will play as many minutes next year against the Mavs and Suns as Rasho will.
I'm not banking on Pop suddenly having a change of heart or Duncan or JP suddenly becoming quick enough to guard Dirk.
Przybilla is decent but why the Spurs aren't going after Reggie Evans is beyond me.
Nice analysis. Harris was the weird matchup. He has a decent jumper but lacks a three point shot. He would have been a perfect person for one of our bigs to guard. But he was too quick. He would just drive right past the big to the basket.
I think TD can guard Dirk. It's the foul trouble that probably concerns Pop. If TD breaksdown the tape and really decides to shutdown Dirk, he can do it. But he will have to be extremely disciplined not to get into foul trouble.
Because he's a nut grabbing flake that can't do anything besides rebound?
One other thing, with Bonner on the roster, the Spurs don't need Horry so much.
Could the Spurs be offering Barry and Horry as a package?
Przybilla can block a few shots but doesn't rebound nearly as well as Evans. What else does JP do?
Whottt is fine with JP being the Spurs' one free agent catch?
Evans for ~$2 and Speedy at ~$3 would be 100x's better than just signing JP.
timvp is the only guy in the universe championing Reggie Evans. He needs to stop selling here and get on the phone lines to Pop and R.C.
He played for Portland, give the guy a chance with the Spurs, then kill him.
more like cause Dirk got to the big show anD pussied out
Well to be honest no...and I'm not entirely sure I disagree with your stance on Mechapryzbilla...but I definitely don't see Evans as the solution to Dirk and the Mavs.
If this guy can't get playoff minutes with Karl and McMillian, he's definitely not going to get them with Pop....Pop has the lowest bonehead tolerance of any coach in the league...Karl and McMillan have among the highest.
All of that makes perfect sense to me.
But I can't imagine that the front office has forgotten about Dallas already. Unless this is some kind of smokescreen, they're targetting Przybilla anyway. That leads me to believe that they must have some kind of plan. Either they somehow think Przybilla can play against Dallas, or they must have someone else in mind -- even if we don't agree with their plan.
Surely it's not Horry or Oberto. I sure as hope it's not Finley again. So either it's Javtokas, Bonner, or Przybilla, or they're planning to acquire a different guy to fill that role -- presumably an SF or combo forward, since they will already be fully loaded at PF and C.
Sure, if those numbers were feasible.
Evans turned down a 2-year/$10M contract offer last summer. Speedy doesn't seem like he wants to take a paycut with this quote yesterday:
"I'm going to give them (Hornets) the first crack at it," Claxton said.
"I guess if I don't like what I'm hearing from them, I'll have to move on. But I hope with the kind of season I had, they will reward me. I definitely want to be paid my value, and right now I think my value is pretty high, and I think they know that."
Props to all of you who spelled Joel's last name correctly. I can't include myself on that list. It's P-R-Z-Y-B-I-L-L-A.
Now I know and knowing is half the battle.
True.
Ludden spelled it wrong in the article.
That was before his brokeback moment. For now, he's damaged goods. The Spurs need to rehabilitate his career and he needs rehabilitating.Evans turned down a 2-year/$10M contract offer last summer
I noticed that too.
Przybilla actually has similar numbers to Nazr in rebounding per 48 minutes the past couple of years. Joel is only averaging 24 mpg the past 2 seasons. He's an awful FT shooter but Joel does have a better FG % than Nazr does.
I've lost all respect for him. J/K
He's an awesome writer. He gets a pass in my book.
The guy is a complete stiff he had more fouls than points his first four years in the league look it up. He couldn't get more than 25 minutes a game on the worst team in the league last year. How many do you think he'll get on a 63 win team? His coach liked him too so don't blame it on McMillan. I have a hard time believing a rookie free agent couldn't do what he does. Maybe we can sign Sabonis he's still playing overseas I see from his getting dunked on in the Javtokas video. Anyway that's my rant on that.
Actually...I'd still be willing to take Sabonis over 90% of the C's in the league. Guy makes other players better just by standing there with the ball.
At least you give Trevor Ariza as an answer to the Spurs' problems. Ariza is probably second on my list so we aren't in major disagreement.
ChumpDumper on the other hand won't say a name other than Ben Wallace
He was co-captain of the Blazers last year with those 25 mpg. I guess that's better than Nazr's 17-18 mpg for the Spurs the past 2 seasons. Sounds like an upgrade.
That may be so, but Chris Paul and this years rookie crop is all the Hornets have going for them right now. They might be willing to spend more than $3/per for Claxton, but probably not much more."I'm going to give them (Hornets) the first crack at it," Claxton said.
"I guess if I don't like what I'm hearing from them, I'll have to move on. But I hope with the kind of season I had, they will reward me. I definitely want to be paid my value, and right now I think my value is pretty high, and I think they know that."

The next time Chump gives a direct answer to a question will be the first...let me know when it happens.
Will a Portland fan corroborate your opinion? I've had the League Pass for a while now and I watched a few TrailBlazer games because of Fantasy Basketball. Przybilla is not a stiff.
