Spurs will sign James White tomorrow ?

[RC's Boss]

Let us pray

Don't worry, I'll get Pop and R.C. on the phone and have thm draw up the contract. Even in the wee hours, the boss is working his magic!

[RC's Boss]

Damn, Pop put me on hold!

[mattyc]

Please let this happen.

[themvp]

He's a pimp. Please sign him.

[ATX Spur]

Yikes. Those are hops.

[ChumpDumper]

I don't know if Marcus Bryant could go an entire season without a tractor joke.

[joeyjfive]

Damn I remember seeing old high school clips of this guy, I always thought he would be great but he never really developed a solid jump shot, nonetheless the guy is long and athletic, just what we need, WE MUST HAVE HIM

[Streakyshooter08]

Does he have a 3pt shootand what about defense? I only know the mixtapes so it would be cool to know a little about the way he plays in a regular game...

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

so, we'll know by later today??

[ChumpDumper]

We'll know if it happens, when it happens.

[Streakyshooter08]

Thanks Chump!!!

P.S.: I heard this is on the "Rick Carlisle Show" I wonder if there will be a "Pop- Show" this season?!?!

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

We'll know if it happens, when it happens.

I'll keep my fingers crossed until then.

James White is from my alma mater, Cincinnati! My boy can BALL!!! Against UK in the second round of the NCAAs two years ago he threw down the smoothest, most athletic, leaping yet forceful one handed artistic slam I've ever seen. It was insane. Almost as insane as my other boy from my alma mater, the REAL Helicopter, Melvin Levitt, dunk over a golf cart.

James White would be P.H.A.T!!! You'd get that young athletic perimiter player.

Let's keep the James White hype in this thread until he's signed. Then we can throw a party that the Spurs finally got their athletic, long three after all these years

Question: Your bio says you first dunked a basketball at age 12. Do you remember it?

Answer: Not really. It was out on the playgrounds. But it was a big deal for me. I started out with a tennis ball, then a volleyball, and finally I could dunk a basketball.

Q: How tall were you?

A: I was in sixth or seventh grade. I was probably 5-9 or 5-10.

Q: Can you touch the top of the backboard?

A: Yeah.

Q: How many slam-dunk contests have you won?

A: Probably 20. Something like that.

Q: Is that something you take pride in?

A: Not really. If somebody challenges me, I'll do that, but the only thing I'm looking forward to is the NBA dunk contest. Other than that ...

Q: Do you already know which dunks you'll do?

A: Kind of. I have dunks I know are sure-fire for getting a perfect score. But going into it, I don't plan that I'm going to do this or do that.

Q: Do you think you can win it?

A: I WILL win it.

[GrandeDavid]

But, yes, I was hyping him!

Ok, I heard James White once saved a baby from a burning building

[GrandeDavid]

I don't know about the burning building thing or hyping him, but he went to my university, the same one that produced a-hole Kenyon Martin, so knowing that White is a) good, b) that athletic, young perimeter player and c) a decent citizen, I just wanted to chime in. Also, I freaking have met the guy and have seen him play up close, hence my enthusiasm.

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

I made the saving the baby story up, I was just hoping it'd show up in one of Johnny Ludden or Buck Harvey's articles tomorrow.

[GrandeDavid]

^

Buck Harvey would probably bite!

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

Hopefully, this doesn't turn into another last minute heart break. Like the J.R. Smith situation

[Kori Ellis]

. Like the J.R. Smith situation

Speaking of him, he started last night and had 21 points.

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

He's the only guy on the Nuggets that can hit a 3

Shhh...I'm gonna stop myself from getting my hopes up , now that you reminded me...that dunk video and all this talk of dunk contests and mad hops with White....

With Elson's good first game with us, and now this potential spark at the 3...aggh it's only been one game and I'm already getting overexcited about this season.
