You're welcome. Do you have to whine so much every time someone disagrees with you? You really couldn't tell what my answer was?
I knew what your answer was, didn't know why you were being such a prick.
The larger question was whether the Spurs would pull the trigger on a trade this year, whether for someone with an expiring contract or someone else, but then you got to the customary feces-smearing. It's no big deal. I doubt the capabilities of getting anything done and as for the meager assets the Spurs have, I'd rather they held off until summer, anyway.
As evidenced by your reaction.It's no big deal.Why do people get so upset when they agree with me?I doubt the capabilities of getting anything done and as for the meager assets the Spurs have, I'd rather they held off until summer, anyway.
Or is it because you agree with them but dance around it first?
Seeing as every comment I made was skeptical of all these trades, that's highly doubtdul.
Spurs need to win *now*, not 3 years from now. They have the talent to do it now and next year. After that, I don't think so. As we all know, Duncan is the motor to the engine we have, and with the NBA rising how it is now it'd be hard to keep on winning by the time LeBron, Wade, and Carmelo are in their primes.
Main goal should be to obtain players to help win now with the Duncan/Parker/Ginobili trio. Age shouldn't be a factor in a chance to sign Corey Maggette or any of the swingmen listed.
They need a shake-up. 5 home losses already is just not anything we need to ignore. They had, what, 7 TOTAL last year? Before that wasn't it like 6?
Parker/Ginobili/Maggette/Duncan/Oberto(or Elson) would be an insane line-up.
It won't happen, but really, anyone outside of Manu, TD, and TP are expendable in a deal for Maggette.
The window for Tim Duncan's prime won't be open forever.
Yes someone w/ common sense
Desmond Mason has been my whipping boy all year. While he plays exceptional defense on the perimeter his offensive is severely lacking. However, he still continues to take 15 to 20 shots a game and make only a few of them some times. He is stricken with bouts of inconsistency and is prone to horrible shooting nights. He has the uncanny ability to take the worst available shot possible (I believe Emeka Okafor recorded 5 blocks on Desmond alone earlier this year in one game). Recently, his shooting has improved as more and more scoring options have disappeared from the Hornets due to injury and they have been forced to rely on him. However, he has quite possibly the ugliest hitch in his shot I've ever seen and is dismal from the FT line (64%). Also, Mason's only offense comes in the paint (likely why the Hornets call offensive sets for him, they have very little paint scoring). Mason, even when left unguarded, has no ability to score from any kind of distance. 3 point range is an absolute dream at best. That being said, his defense is definately a HUGE plus as he is capable of slowing down (and sometimes shutting down) the major perimeter player on the opposition (see Kobe Bryant). And he does run the break like an absolute beast. Mason can definatley pull down the boards though at times. While he doesn't often have HUGE rebounding nights, his production is definately consistent in that regard. Also, he plays beside Tyson Chandler (one of the league's leading rebounders) and Chris Paul (one of the better rebounding guards) and still produces on the glass. He is severely overpaid though and will likely not command nearly that much in next season's crowded free agent market. The Hornets likely will not resign for a flurry of reasons:
1) They have a ton of SFs already (Peja Stojakovic, Rasual Butler, Devin Brown, Marcus Vinicius, Linton Johnson) with smaller contracts and often times more upside.
2) Their financial situation is an enigma, at best, as the return to New Orleans will indicate severe financial losses (only 15k went to the Spurs/Hornets game in the Big Easy).
The Spurs honestly would be better looking at a guy like Gerald Wallace. While Wallace can contribute this year, he is also a player to build around since he is only 24. I like Wallace primarily for this reason, but also because he fits the bill and might be obtainable.
