Pop's going to hit Beno over the head with a magnum once he hears that...
I nearly bust a gut laughing when the interviewer asked Beno if he wants to become the starter on another team or the backup on a better team. What an ass!

I watched the interview, and I`m speechless.... Wow, just wow....
I don't have a problem with his answers. See my other topic. The Spurs should waive his ass. Why keep him? I mean Why?

In between the 2 lines above is the reason why they are keeping him.
I think you guys need to cut the guy some slack, what's he supposed to say, "man I suck, I'll never play another minute in the NBA"
you can't hate him for hoping to start on an NBA team someday.
I can hate him.
He wears how many championship rings for doing nothing? Having done not one thing to contribute to any of those rings, he wears them. Not only did he not help one bit for those rings, he disrespects that team and their fans like this?
When he's back home 10 years from now and working in some office job for some Euro team, he'll talk about the days with the Spurs, what it takes to win and flash those rings. People introducing him as "3 time NBA Champion Beno Udrih!"
That makes me sick.
He should not be allowed to wear the uniform this year? I wouldn't even give him the ring.
And yeah, that "reporter", "backup for a better team"? Uhm, better than the NBA champs? A paycheck player collecting a check for doing nothing, that's a dream come true for him. Plus get a ring too? It will all look good on his resume when he goes back home.
Why even keep him around? Anyone think he will affect the chemistry in a negative way?
The Spurs are known for their chemistry.
They brought back the same team to attempt the repeat.
They are also known for keeping this kind of in the locker room. Behind closed doors. Where it belongs.
I think Beno has shot himself in the foot...twice now. The interview in August was horrific, this was also bad.
It makes him look bad, that reflects on the team.
I'm not saying the Spurs will lock him up, but I think they'll do something. Talk to him. Shorten his leash next to the doghouse.
Keep him away from the media until they can get rid of him.
It's a shame. The kid showed promise of some talent.
He lost any composure he had in the Piston's series, and it's been downhill from there.
I believe as soon as the Spurs can get anything they think is reasonable he'll be gone. And I don't expect to see him on the court much, if at all, until then.
Seriously...
It's time for Beno to go.
People that put Rasho and Beno in the same sentence are doing a huge disservice to Rasho BTW.
Scola>Beno
At least Scola doesn't dis the team he's actually playing for.
you have got to be kidding me.
he has got to be the dumbest human alive.
Can we PLEASE pay someone to take Beno away!? He's become a freakin cancer! Thankfully, our team has such cohesion that they'll just laugh at his BS and shake their heads, but he is taking up a roster slot that should be going to a young PG that we could be developing.
Waste of space.
Who was it that was telling me earlier this summer that Beno wasn't dumb? Let me see if I can find that post . . .
I hate to be a fanboy, but PWNED!
can't wait to see the spin ploto puts on this.
Everything but the first part is essentially true. Beno has talent that he's completely wasted, which is the definition of dumb. Rasho was just as frustrated with the Spurs as Beno is, but was smart enough not to talk to reporters about it.
While I have given up on Beno, I don't look at his situation with hate. Spurs have three possibilities with Beno : cut him, trade him or keep him.
Cutting Beno to sign a new PG will cost between $1.2M and $1.5M. Spurs likely will have to give up an asset to dump him. Given that there isn't quality PGs available, I think that keeping Beno is the lest worst solution for Spurs.
I just hope two things about Beno. First, he didn't hurt Spurs chemistry. Second, he stays in a good enough physical and mental shape to be a decent third string PG. If he does these two things, I'm not really against keeping Beno the whole year before trying to get a good prospect next summer.
You think slovenian fans are on this board because of Beno? Think again
Yes, maybe we came because of Rasho and Beno, but that's not the reason we stayed. We are as much ashamed of Beno as other Spurs fans are.
It's not about being smart, it's about not being so incredibly dumb to not realize it's about being a pro. About doing your (very well paid) job.
But Slomo, the point is that expressing his displeasure like that is not professional. He has done this a couple of times now. He should shut his trap, work hard and do everything he can to earn some respect and some minutes - THAT is being a professional. Just look at what JV has done since he came here for an example of professionalism.
As you say, Beno's very well paid, and he owes his NBA chance to the Spurs, but now with the things he says he's throwing that back in their faces. They've given him chance after chance and he's messed them up.
I was all for giving him those chances, but now I'm sick of his and I think his roster spot should go to someone who wants to be a part of the Spurs' future.
I thought that was the point of my post.
If the purposes is to have a dummy running point to give Parker and Vaughn rest during practice Beno might serve the purpose if his fingy doesn't make him retire on permanent disability. But needing Beno on the floor in a playoff Spurs might as well forfit and save themselves the embarrasment.
can anyone tell me if ginobili has braces now. maybe it's just me, but in his interview it looked like he had some clear ones. even w/ my glasses i cannot tell...
btw sorry i'm not contributing to the topic, but i really don't want to make a thread asking this question...
In the case of Parker or Vaughn being injured or suspended during the playoffs, I rather have Beno than most of the NBA third string PGs. Even an out of shape Beno has the level to play some playoffs minutes and he knows the team. Pop has said that Beno was a great insurance policy at the last trade deadline and i quite agree with that.
The risk with Beno is that he fold under the pressure but Spurs have still the Ginobili/Barry solution at the PG spot.
