It is crucial that we put together the right team to hoist the Most Developed Rookie trophy at the end of the season.
Playing for the Spurs means an approach of Basketball play, and a certain mentality, a collective one in a game plan were defense is the start.
It's quite difficult to find Good Spurs Material. And when you have it, you keep it until he retires... most of the Time !
You just don't Trade people like Tim, Manu, Tony, or Bruce..
You Keep It.
And some of us are begining to think that Mason and Hill seems to be Spurs Material... Only Playoffs will tell...
And we have and will have, it the test is passed, enough playtime to propose to Georges Hill to develop...
Maybe he will be an all-star... But after Manu retires !

It is crucial that we put together the right team to hoist the Most Developed Rookie trophy at the end of the season.
I heard the same things said about Tony, and he became a very good passer. TP is not Steve Nash because that's not the kind of PG he is... but he definitely developed that aspect of his game (passing) to a far greater degree than many thought he would.
At every level Hill has played at thus far, Hill has been the offensive focal point of his team. So you have no idea how good a passer he can be. Neither do I. We'll just have to wait and see how he develops.
I do know that he has good range on his shot, fantastic quickness, and a lot of offensive creativity with the ball in his hands.
He's also a "superior defender", as Pop called him, and has good instincts.
His ceiling appears to be quite high. Will he become an all-star? We'll just have to wait and see. But I'd better money that he'll become a of a lot more productive player than Johnny Dawkins.
No not for the sake of getting Hill experience you moron. Thats just an added bonus. For the sake of getting a top center who will give the spurs a legitimate chance against the Lakers. Forget about a championship this year with the front line the spurs have now. Its not going to happen.
So why didn't you just named the thread: "Camby for Manu" or something like that? Did you puss out a little bit?
So Hill has a good game and dunks the ball and now we need to trade Manu? That's basically re ed.
with manu's salary coupled with what he brings to the table, the spurs will get screwed with any deal they try to make. if you don't believe me, then find a center worth $10m/year that could help, as in really help the spurs win a trophy. you can't! in order to get a quality big, you will have to add another spur to the deal just to even out the salaries. since the guys we're willing to trade aren't attractive, you have to put in guys that are. which means the spurs will end up not only losing manu but also someone else who is actually helping the team.
... and you call me a moron.![]()
First of all let's not put Manu out to pasture just yet, he still is valuable and has a spirit that can't be tamed. George Hill is a fine player and he needs more minutes, I agree, but Manu we cannot get rid of just yet. The injuries we had early in the Season have helped exploit the talents of guys like Hill, Mason, and even the Red Rocket. I think we are going to have a good run deep into the playoffs. We are working great as a team and the young guys are developing well. So let's put down our crack pipes and chill.
