Yeah thats why we need to tank the season to get Oden.
Al Harrington was a pipe dream.Your big offseason trade idea was getting Al Harrington. How did that go? Did Chicago do that Rasho for cap space trade you were pimping?
And for the Rasho for capspace, I was one of the few saying that Rasho trade value isn't that low than what people thing. We get expirings contract for him (Bonner can be usefull) and a second round pick, It's even better than what I thought : http://spurstalk.com/forums/showpost...3&postcount=22
Nice find.
Getting Al Harrington wasn't a pipe dream, Spurs had enough assets outside the big 3 to get him because he was an UFA.
But I've always said that it was unlikely.
It was a pipe dream not because it was unrealistic but because it was unlikely.
Agree completely.
I keep hoping that the FO is not yet done. I can't believe they're actually serious about waiting until next season to address a position of need in which Pop indicated was such a priority after the conclusion of this past season.
BTW, I called into Ticket760 on Friday to get Vex and Wally's take on Qyntel Woods. It so happens that assistant GM Sam Presti followed my call and they indirectly asked him about Woods. Presti's answer was an unimpressive "he's a fine player and would make a valuable contribution on some team". He never directly indicated whether or not the Spurs are interested.
Ariza or Woods, I don't care. Just get one.
Couldn't we already have him (via the draft)...vice Beno?
I think the disappointment is that at least thus far they got no one even to try. They filled the roster with a bunch of other guys and did not get a single one who is even a project athletic perimeter guy. I also don't believe they will carry more than 14 players, so unless they trade someone, I think this roster is pretty set, at least until February. Whereas 2 months ago I was hearing talk of Williams not being here- either by trade or buy out- it seems more and more that he will be here because the Spurs need some SF.
Who would sign to be at best the fourth swingman?
Yea! We're finally tanking this season? Yeah, It's one ty season, one ty game after one ty game, ty quarter after quarter.....BUT THEN.....From the corner of your eye, Peter Holt JOLST his fist in celebration, the ever FAMOUS HO-OHHH, once again as the Spurs recieve the 1st selection in the 2007 Draft. Could we take it? One more time? Duncan and Oden, almost like BREAD AND BUTTER......NO...NO....Better...More like 5-OH and Timmy.....That would be too perfect......But then again, so was landing Tim Duncan....I remember that all too well...Watching him dominate the college game, and like now, hoping that one day he might, just might be a Spur. The possibilities we all thought then, now becoming reality. Thanks Tim.....By the way, you need to be working on your FREETHROWS....Really thats what POP needs to be doing. He needs to be at Timmy's house at 5 a.m. every morning. Get Tim's butt out of bed and hit the line. Alright maybe a quick STROODLE. Five hours should provide a good workout. Maybe have some video of CUBAN in the backround taunting.....being Cuban.....That should provide an accurate distraction simulation.....Then after freethrows, Tim should hit the weights....It would be nice to see him put on 5-10lbs of muscle.....He would SO DOMINATE.....It would be REDICULIOUS....Tim I really hope you get HEALTHY....Alright I'm done
BTW, how many FTs did Tim miss in Game 7 v. Mavs last playoffs?
What was his FREETHROW PERCENTAGE during the entire season, including playoffs. I'm not a one game ANALYST. I try to envision the overall picture. If Tim is able to pull his FREETHROW percentage over 75%, I would be pleased. Now, I understand that pulling over 75% is exceptional for FOWARD/CENTERS, but TIM is more than capable of doing so. It's just a matter of determination, and I for one believe Tim's got it.
That's exactly what I've been saying.
And from what Sam said in the article, it's obvious they will look for our young 3 in next year's draft.
If we want a rebounding 3, I'm very surprised we haven't splashed some cash at Jumaine Jones. He grabbed about 8bds/40mins last year, can shoot the 3, he's 6'8" and only 27... Williams' expiring contract for a signed-and-traded Jones for 3mil/yr over 4 yrs anyone??? However, I think we're gonna see if Williams has anything left in the tank before they consider trading him, or they already have a deal in place and are waiting until they can activate it on Aug 21.
Parker "can't" play like Nash. Nor can Nash play like him. His strengths are what they are and he uses them. People can dis Tony all they want, but we won 63 games and finished 1st in our conference. While we didn't go all the way, we had HCA b/c of Tony. He held us down during the reg. season. Give him credit!
That would be from Toronto!!!
http://www.nba.com/raptors/news/pres...se_062106.html
The Toronto Raptors announced Wednesday they have acquired centre Rasho Nesterovic and cash considerations from the San Antonio Spurs in exchange for forwards Eric Williams and Matt Bonner, and a 2009 second-round draft pick.
Well said. Short of trading for J.R., who were the Spurs supposed to get? The free agent pool and draft class was pretty thin this year.
That's a lot easier to do when the twin towers were Duncan and Robinson--two of the top 50 players of all time.
Somehow Duncan and Rasho or Duncan and Nazr don't provide quite the same crushing ability.
They didn't have any problem in 2005. Never got the chance to see in 2006 against the Mavs.Somehow Duncan and Rasho or Duncan and Nazr don't provide quite the same crushing ability
because he sucked and played with no confidence
Where's the long three???
As the first comment here stated, the Spuds haven't learned a damned thing. I agree.
From the newspaper comments, it seems this general manager, Bufford, is more BUFFOON than anything. He wouldn't be on my payroll.
But it's all for the good. Let the season begin, let it roll for 82 games and then we can see how much a buffoon Bufford really is. He really ought to quit San Antonio and go work for Microsoft. What company can anyone think of where "change for the sake of change" is the corporate guiding light?
Another useful exercise is to look up these NBA teams at the financial websites and examine their financial status. A good many are not doing so well. Even San Antonio for 2004 showed only 108 million dollars in sales which was a 2.9% increase. That is pretty pathetic when you consider they won the le the year before. Don't have the figures for the current year. Who cares.
That Bufford even thought of trying to get Mourning to come to San Antonio tells me what a really strange dude he is. Mourning? Good grief, April Fools Day was a long time ago.
When Ginobli, Parker and His Hollowness King Duncan figure out how to play pro basketball, SAS might be in line for another le. You know what I mean, not making stupid fouls that give your opponent a chance to tie the game and missing 1 foot layups with 2 seconds remaining. No one ever discusses this, do they? Sacred cows cannot be eaten!!
Why couldn't pop play our regular rotation for one ing game. Just one god damn game?!?!?! Our knowledge of the former and current state of our team would be so much greater. We are all, in a way, in the dark when it comes to our true rebounding situation. By true I mean how we'd fare against smaller teams with our CENTER.
nobodi home, Are you a Spurs fan?
I think the lights are on, but.....
When did Duncan not know how to play basketball?
