Ludden: Spurs still eyeing a center

[T Park]

MannyisGod speaks the truth.

[timvp]

They should really just sign Reggie Evans, hes basically Ben Wallace without the blocks, and can prolly shoot better freethrows. And we prolly dont even have to give him the whole MLE.

This is why you were the League One Champion.

[T Park]

People talk about guys being hurt.

Pollard is a walking freaking MASH unit.

[Please_dont_ban_me]

Pollard > What we have right now


If that's all that is available, give him a cheeseburger and a beer remind him which nights the games are on.

[Kori Ellis]

I'd take Lorenzen Wright over Pollard.

[picnroll]

Unless you forgot to include a j/k, I'd say you are being a bit premature in your predictions there Mr. picnrollover.

Just my feeling that this team as it stands isn't that compe ive. Maybe Pop and Buford will pull something off but it seems like dimishing expectations are grasping at the Pollard and Collins to compete with. I'll wait to see what the final roster looks like but right now it's looking sucky to me.

WTF?

How is next years team so much different form the team that just won 63 games? Oh yeah, Tim Duncan won't have Plantar Faciatas the whole year. Talk about a huge slide backwards.

Spurs fans are bored and want to have their team on the front page of ESPN.com like every other team in the NBA right now.

I'm not a huge JP fan anymore, and I don't disagree with the notion that just because the market is low on quality, you just take what you can get. But, where I think you are off is that I don't think you really know JP's game. You keep comparing to him to Rasho only to give him a slight edge as a big white guy with a little more game.

JP and Rasho are a lot different. They really don't play alike at all. I think JP would bring a lot more to the table. Not saying he's a great sign, just that he's a lot better than Rasho.

[MannyIsGod]

I agree that in order to make passing up on Pryzbilla it means they better go out and make use of that MLE right.

And if the Spurs bring back Nazr, I'm going to be so ing pissed.

[timvp]

Pollard had a good two week stretch last season. After that he did nothing. Before that he did nothing for like three years.

Pollard is not the answer.

[shyne]

I bet for sure we could get Evans now, im sure he would rather start here then be a backup in Denver. I would take Rueben patterson too.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

When the Spurs bring in Pollard next year and he averages double digit rebounds you will all be want RC for exec of the year.

So?

Fair enough, I haven't seen the guy play all that much over the past year when he's actually done pretty well.

I exactly agree with this. I think it's odd (but not completely understandable) that they didn't offer Przybilla five years. But I don't want them to just hold onto their money and roll with the 12 guys they have now (plus a Melvin Sanders or something).

[Please_dont_ban_me]

Saying somebody is "better than Rasho" isn't doing much for there cause.

[clubalien]

i remeber despreate times when our hope for a center was keon clark.. now i don't even know if he is in the nba

Pollard is not the answer.

I must agree whole-heartedly.

[Solid D]

Happy Independence Day, ya'll!

[johngateswhiteley]

...man some of you guys are nuts. the spurs won't be competetive? the spurs won't get hca? the spurs will slide?

...wtf are you talking about? when you have the best trio in the league...you're not going anywhere. stfu.

[Kori Ellis]

He's not.

He missed out on two contract offers awhile back because he didn't answer his cell phone.

[MannyIsGod]

Pollard is not the answer.

That 2 week stretch was the only time he got meaningful minutes. Granted, he's been hurt a ton but I think if he was healthy he'd be very effective as a solid rebounder and defender next to Tim.

I don't nessecarily think he's the answer, but I don't nessecarily think anyone out there is. I do however think there are a good amount of players out there who can fill a role on the Spurs pretty damn well.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Rasho would be sad if he read this. Weak.

If by some, you mean one...then let's have fun!

I actually like the guy, and his game.

I think some guys on this forum, and in this city, rag on him unfairly.

I think Pollard gave up on trying in the NBA. I kind of thought he was decent on the Kings in his early years, but last year I saw him with his samarai hair looking into the crowd during a timeout and I knew he was done.

you're just dumb then. duncan is still the best player in the league. duncan + parker + ginobili is probably the best trio in the league. there's nothing "sucky" about that.
