Oh. Why did I think White was a skinny 6'10"?

I like the gamble if the Spurs do it.
I am worried about Oberto's production or lack of.

Did you listen to the Pop show, when they asked about Devin?
Something along the lines of, Devin will not be a Spur, ever. Most direct answer I've ever heard Pop give...
Devin did something to get on Pop's badside...that's why he's gone.
And remember Pop had been coaching Devin since he was a kid....
Because that would make sense for a the type of player the Spurs need.
Man, a player like travis outlaw or warrick would be nice inside..
Devin was lazy as a Spur. But one year of playing under Jerry Sloan has obviously solved that problem.
He's putting up huge stats for the Hornets and is even helping that injury destroyed team win games.
If Eric Williams is never going to get a chance to play, he needs to be waived so we can make room for another young guy with some potential after we fail the annual attempt to talk some dude out of retirement. A small ball PF makes the most sense. Jamar Smith is closer to actually contributing but Ricky Sanchez probably has mosre upside.
Why are Jamar Smith's stats down across the board? I wasn't overly impressed with him in summer league or preseason but he seemed at least good enough to put up better stats in the NBDL.
Jamar was an early victim of the lineup crisis this season. He's been shuffled between SF and PF and starting and the bench. His defense against players his size and smaller has always been really good. That's the main reason I would still consider him. He also runs the floor well.
I would also throw Louis Admunson in there, although he'll need some time to become more than just a pure energy player. He can really make things happen on the floor though.
Is James White the type of player who takes off for the other end when the ball goes up? That threat alone might create some reluctance on the other teams part to crash the off boards...an area where the Spurs constantly get creamed.
Between Pete's money grubbing and Pop's petty vendettas the supporting cast has been eviscerated.
I think that's why Scola never became a Spur and never will. Spurs have a tiff with him and refuse to sign him.Devin did something to get on Pop's badside...that's why he's gone.
Don't believe their spin that they don't know if his game would translate. They thought a 6-10 slow unathletic no jumping 31 year old by end of rookie year playoffs center would translate to the NBA, but not a 6-9 somewhat athletic, modestly explosive power forward who hustles and can dunk wouldn't translate?
That's just a line for the masses.
I don't know if you can call it a petty vendetta in Devin's case.
By all accounts, including way before he was up to be re-signed, he didn't work very hard when he was here.
I just recently heard a rumor that the reason Stephen Jackson left was because he hooked it up with some woman in the Spurs organization, which was frowned upon by the FO.
i think white can help at the very least defensively agaoinst quicker guys, i mean hes got to do better than finley or barry defensively. it seems like were the only team in the league scare to play our young players. we should at least a bit after all pop was wrong about barbosa helping us so doesnt that mean he can be wrong on butler or white helping us.
He left because he wanted $28M+ and the Spurs were offering around $10M.
I remember when RC initially said something about Scola to the effect of - people tend to focus too much on what he can't do, and not on what he can do well. Then a few years later they come to the assertion that his game wouldn't mesh well with Tim. Another crock of shiite..
Barry's D in the second half had to make even the most hardcore Barry supporters blush. I've never seen an NBA player run back on offense before the player he was guarding scored the basket.
The weird thing is that in the first half, Barry played some of his best defense of the season. In the second half, I don't know if I've seen defense that bad since Charlie Ward left.
It seems wike anytime the Spuws lose a player it is becawse of money or becawse Pop and he didn't get awong.
That's why I said it was a rumor. Nonetheless, it wouldn't shock me if the FO fell out of favor with Jackson for ing around.
He left because he wanted $28M+ and the Spurs were offering around $10M.
Is the 28M what you know or what the organization said?
In Stephen Jackson's first year with the Spurs, to pass the time while not playing, he banged two or three different girls everyday of the week.
If the Spurs brought him back for a second year, I highly doubt that was an issue
Is there that many good looking girls in San Antonio? Did he ship them in, or was it really that big an issue?
He didn't say they were good looking girls, he simply said girls. And yes there are many beutiful women in SA.
he didn't say anything about good looking, but i'm sure NBA players can pick and choose.
damn just beat me.
