Official: Spurs Trade Williams for Ely

[ChumpDumper]

let say with 25 mpg he can get what?

If he plays 27 minutes maybe he can get 5.6 boards like Scola is in Euroleague.

I never said I wasn't happy. I said as of now with this trade they are not much improved or improved at all. If they got Ely to get rid of another big and bring in a reliable backup PG or perimeter player then we see an improvement. But with this trade as of now right now this second they are not much improved.

If he plays, he instantly becomes the second-best post player the Spurs have. I'd hardly call that a "small" improvement....of course that depends on IF he plays.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I see why you wouldn't agree with me but I still say the biggest void is perimeter game and backup PG cuz eventhough we have seen the Spurs losing games cuz of rebounds or interior D we have also seen the Spurs lose games because strictly of the perimeter and PG duties when Tony is tired.

We lost to Dallas last year because they owned the offensive glass. And I'd encourage you to go check out the rebounding numbers since Jan. 1 for this team.

Hes a black Luis Scola, so what you see with him, is what youd see with Luis.

Except for Ely can play D.

Just because he instantly becomes the second best post player the Spurs have that does not mean it's a big improvement. That just means that the rest of the Spurs bigs really suck and Ely is just a decent player while the other Spurs bigs are just awful. So second best post player don't equal to a big improvement. Small improvement on Ely's ability of play, Yes.

[lefty]

Maybe Ely is gonna be traded right away...

Right. Had we picked up Elton Brown from the Colorado 14ers, we could have said the same thing.

Chump and his stiffs from the D League.....

but more spensive,the get 3.3 Mp/year right now,and someone said here that it was a money issue why he wanted out of Charlotte.
He aint even close to scola´s interior scoring dude,get yourself informed first.

Don Harris saying that "NBA sources" tell him Ely could be starting before long.

Take that for what it's worth.

[bigdog]

great trade. tonight we play a depleted new jersey team. they are without jefferson,kristic,and kidd. since beno hasnt played the past few games, i would put him on inactive, and put White into the lineup. and now that williams is gone, i would wanna see butler in there as well. this could be a game where all the guys that never play finally get their chance to show us what they've got. i really hope pop does this

[ChumpDumper]

I'm sure he wanted to play more than ten minutes a game to prove he could be worth more than the minimum next summer.

More expensive?

Scola wanted the entire goddamn Midlevel exception

It was not a money issue with ELY, he wanted PT.


He is very close to interior scoring of Scola.

Your the one that needs educating, dude.

[Extra Stout]

Yaaaaaay the Spurs are closer to getting under the luxury tax threshold!

Small improvement on Ely's ability of play, Yes.

His post play adds another dimension for defenses to consider when he's on the floor. I'm not suggesting he'll draw double teams, but the ball just floats around the permiter when Elson/Oberto/Horry are out there because none of them establish position or look to score when they get in the low post. Being a capable (see how I didn't try to make him sound better than he is) low post player opens opportunities up for others as well.

It may not be a "big" improvement, but I'd say it's more significant than "barely at all, if any"

[T Park]

Exactly my point.

Wich is what.



Bring in unproven stiffs over a guy that avergaged 10 a game in the NBA?

interesting.

It means if he shows up with a pulse, he'll be the starter in 10 games MAX (re: Nazr)

No, that our current big men outside of Duncan aren't good post scorers.
