Azubuike would be nice but there's scant evidence GSW will let him go. Pietrus is hardly an answer but is more likely for the Spurs than Smith.
Actually if you could read you'd know I want Kelenna, even ahead of J.R. Smith.
And you'd know that Pietrus is a bonehead too.

Last December.Really? When was this?
Parker told that despite having 9 French players in NBA, only Diaw and him were playing. When asked about Pietrus, he said "if Pietrus was a recognized NBA player, he would have received a new contract last summer."
Ouch! I thought they were buddies... pretty harsh...
Pietrus is awesome but i'd rather have j.r. smith
If I had to pick between azubuke, barnes and pietrus. I would pick pietrus.
Exactly.
Let's keep it in context.
Matt Bonner got a 3 year deal for $3 million a year, and the Spurs gave him that deal nearly certain of 2 things: that he would likely sit most of the first year of the deal due to Horry still hanging around and that he would never be a starter.
Pietrus is more athletic and taller than Udoka, but as far as how they'd be used and what they bring to the team, their are too similar in my opinion. Pietrus duplicates what we use Udoka for in the small ball lineups, so in that sense I don't think he helps us overall. We need a scorer and he isn't it.
I guess all you people jumping on the Pietrus bandwagon are overlooking the fact he's dumber than a bag of rocks...
It's funny when people say that all a guy with a negative bball IQ needs is a little coaching and he'll be fine. Yeah, that'll work out with set plays, but the guy's a liability in pressure situations, not exactly what we're looking for.
And you're all over JR Smith's jock?
Look at the sig....he's all over Azubuike's jock.And you're all over JR Smith's jock?
Read Objective's dissertation on page 2. I don't think anyone on here thinks that Pietrus is some kind of savior or the long-term answer for youth and athleticism at the wing....but the Spurs could do a whole of alot worse.
I agree with Objective, this kid is the most likely candidate for the best price to solve the youth/athleticism question in the short term.
In order: Maybe, NO WAY(major bad BBIQ), definitely,yes, yes, NO (constant trade demands and general babyish at ude).
Because you appear to be too stupid to apply a little reading comprehension, here's my order of preference:And you're all over JR Smith's jock?
1. Kelenna (the guy in my sig)
2. J.R. Smith
3.
4.
5.
6.
7. Pietrus (for the LLE, if that).
No, I don't have a 3-6, but that just crystallizes what I think of Pietrus, or anyone with the bball IQ of a single cell amoeba.
Guess you'll be pissed when the Spurs sign him because they don't want to overpay for your #1/2 restricted FAs.
I'm not on the opposite side of this, though I do think Pietrus is better than you give him credit for. If I were you, I'd get used to the idea of Pietrus in a Spurs uni....seems more likely to happen than any other scenario at this point.
I agree; don't be surprised to see Pietrus on the team.. Especially if they can get him for a few mil... I would be fine with Pietrus coming off the bench.
I also think Pietrus has the best chance to be signed by the Spurs.
I like the ability or JR Smith, but he is a chucker, and is very streaky. When he comes to play, he's pretty good, but he's limited to jump shooting and dunks. When he isn't at his best, he's not very good.
I wouldn't mind if we got Kelenna, but we already have Udoka, and in my mind, they are very similar, with Udoka being the better defender. They are about the same size, and we need another wing that is taller, so that's why I would pass up Azubuike.
I guess Parker told that meaning he prefers for the French National team players being starters in their league (ACB, french league etc...) over NBA players without playing time.
That's it and he's right!
The Spurs would give JR or Kelenna the MLE.
I don't see where you think the Spurs won't...
Either Kelenna or Pietrus would be interesting pick-up for the Spurs
but i don‘t know
true story.
Have the Spurs ever used the full MLE on a player?
Do the Spurs tend to overpay or stick to their fiscal guns and look for bargains?
Do the Spurs have multiple role player holes to fill, making it likely they'll split the MLE?
Not saying it can't happen, but I think it's far more likely that they get a "bargain" pick, whether it be Pietrus or someone else, to fill their wing spot.
Pietrus is going to get the full MLE. IIRC, when teams have talked to the Warriors in the past about sign and trades, the contract other teams were willing to give him was at or above MLE.
I'm not sure which team it's going to be but Pietrus is likely going to get a full MLE offer ... especially in this weak free agent class. He doesn't have baggage, he has decent upside and he's athletic. I just hope that the team that blows the MLE on him isn't the Spurs.
What are exactly the grounds for saying that Pietrus is as dumb as a pile of bricks? I am not contesting that, but I have only seen him play a couple of times and it did not really strike me.
