By that I mean, assuming we've had stuff in the works up until that point.
we are clearly d up this season, gettin rid 2 centers
javtokas/orbeto will fill the void, but we seriously need a capable starting center.
are we goin to get pryz? or just sign that white guy on the summer team and bring over scola.
but if we don't get joel we have no nazr
it is either a trade or small ball to the rescue
We spend all last season ing about our centers, now we cry when they are gone.
Not unexpected.
Not necessariy true anymore. That is what people don't understand.
Spurs won't even offer Joel the fifth year on the deal.
And the Spurs were not going to give Nazr the MLE for 5 years either.
Somewhere Rasho and Nazr are smiling.
Scola is not ing coming dude.
People shouldn't be worrying so much right now. It's the ing 4th of July. The season starts in NOVEMBER. We have a lot of time.
We better hearing that we're getting Joel. If Pop embraces small ball I'm going to go Ghostal.
that offer may just change, we really don't know what is going on until they make a statement.
javtokas will be the answer...
...hopefully.
Bump that. Personally, I'm sick of the FO's annual strategy of "scrounging the bottom of the barrel" in search of finding the next "washed-out, FA veteran-of-the-year". It seems every year the Spurs manage to come up with a Nick Van Exel or a Steve Smith or someone else who should've retired a couple of seasons before their arrival to the Spurs -yet they're trying to hold on to win a championship. Anyone remember the Spurs' annual dalliances with Karl Malone and Gary Payton? Give me a break.
For once, I'd wish they'd stop bargain basement-hunting and successfully target and sign the appropriate player that fills a respective need. If Pryz is the best FA center left, and all indications are that he is - GET IT DONE! Don't tell me about Danny Fortson, Lorenzen Wright, Danny Schayes, Loren Woods, Shawn Kemp, Vlade Divac, Raef Lafrentz, Arvydas Sabonis or some such has been.
After all, Tim isn't gonna be around forever. At this point, it's all about winning championships - not trying to squeeze out leftover talent from an old, aged veteran.
I'm not crying they're gone. But I will cry if we don't see the Spurs make up for the hole created there.
"If Mohammed receives an offer the Spurs don't want to meet, team officials also aren't opposed to beginning the season with Tim Duncan, Fabricio Oberto and Lithuanian Robertas Javtokas sharing time at center."
Pretty clear from today's newspaper.
Oh, we're crying. Look around.
The spurs didn't play their centers against Dallas anyways. Might as well get rid of them and and add to their small ball.
This from Jason Quick.
Just got word that the Detroit Pistons have signed free agent center Nazr Mohammed to a four-year deal at the midlevel exception, effectively ending any chance of Blazers center Joel Przybilla going to Detroit.
Przybilla is still expected to make a decision today, and it is believed to be contemplating between the Blazers, who have offered a five-year, $30 million deal; San Antonio, who offered four years and about $24 million; and perhaps Cleveland or Sacramento.
Small ball!
Right, the Spurs usually do exactly what they tell the local beat writers when it comes to personnel moves.
A lot of Spurs fans seem to think that Pryzbilla is the answer to their prayers. I just don't see it, I think he is a glorified scrub.
I was really hoping Nazr would have stayed on the Spurs. He played a huge part in our win in 2005. And this year, we had the best record for the Spurs franchise. I don't know why we would want to make too many changes in our roster since we came so close this year to winning again, (had it not been for small ball/Manu's foul...)
I'm glad that Rasho was traded since his contract was way too expensive for what he is worth...I've always thought that Nazr was a good center, true he has weaknesses...
And now it looks like we might not even have a center at all! And we desperately need a center. It will be strange to see Nazr playing for the Pistons now...I hope we get Joel...cuz if we don't, we'll be in trouble...
He won't be able to feed his family with $24 million.Just got word that the Detroit Pistons have signed free agent center Nazr Mohammed to a four-year deal at the midlevel exception, effectively ending any chance of Blazers center Joel Przybilla going to Detroit.
