Big Baby to San Antonio? Grant Hill to Boston?

[Summers]

I think Ian is going to have a chance to audition for the starting spot. I've been really anxious to see him play.

"As I said it looks Big Baby will be a Spur. He feels he will lose minutes with Rasheed now a Celtic and Grant Hill on the way."

The way he wrote it looks like he talked to Big Baby

He feels he will lose minutes with Rasheed now a Celtic and Grant Hill on the way

So probably Big Baby told him he'll sign with the Spurs

He's a Restricted FA, I don't think he has that much control over who he signs for.

Our bench is set. We need a starter. Is Ian plan A? If Pop starts Bonner again I will break into his cellar and smash every bottle of wine in that joint.

Better make sure it's during the rodeo road trip. Breaking every bottle will take a lot of time.

Of course, at the time the Spurs had a need for a swingman prospect.

Just pointing out the usual message board ADD. I was (maybe sadly) one of the few guys excited to get Williams. Hopefully he'll redeem himself yet.

Well, I guess that shows the potential folly of drafting for need as opposed to drafting the best player available. Williams may turn into a decent role player at some point in the future. Of course, given how bigmen are valued in the NBA, that should give the edge to a big in the draft...

If his source is Davis, then he could simply be acting as if the Spurs want him to drive up interest.

I know for sure of one former Spur who had friends intentionally spread rumors on message boards about all the teams interested in him that were not.

Please SPURS don't waste our MLE on Glen Davis?...Why the do we need another BIG body?...Didn't we just draft Blair?...We need a ing scorer and we could probably get a pretty damn good one with our MLE?....

[HarlemHeat37]

He's a much better fit for Orlando..

[Mugen]

im sure the magic fans are real eager to see Big Baby in Orlando after he mowed down that kid after his shot.

[HarlemHeat37]

LOL..it would definitely be funny..

if anybody else has already posed this, i apologize. but since he seems to be hearing it completely from the celtic perspective, if baby and his agent were using the spurs as leverage to get bos/orlando to pony up more, tanguay wouldn't know any better.

the spurs are an easy team to use as leverage this offseason because a) they've already gone on the record as saying that they intend to use their MLE on a big and b) they never confirm or deny anything publicly until they absolutely have to.

, pop probably wouldn't mind it a bit if a player did use him as leverage publicly because it would only help him mask his true intentions even more.

And supposedly Sheed was meeting with both of them this week, too.

Sounds like Big Baby is telling him all this which, as I said, signifies nothing as to its validity.

please Big Baby, use us as leverage!!..

[benefactor]

please Big Baby, use us as leverage!!..

It would actually be a good thing for once...

[td4mvp21]

I'm just hoping the Davis is being spread by Davis to up his value or whatever. If the Spurs are really looking to spend the entire MLE on him....
