    Kidd K and Raven saying Beli will suck...which basically assures that he will turn into '05 Manu.

    He's not as good as you think he is. He's worse than Richard Jefferson on both ends of the floor. Actually, I have no doubt RJ would school that guy 9 times out of 10 in both team settings and one on one. Best case scenerio, he'll be a lateral movement to Gary Neal. Of course, I already know it's a step down offensively. Neal's defense was so poor though, maybe it'll balance out to have mediocre defense out of that spot instead of atrocious defense.
    Wow, can't believe I'm responding to this but you can't actually be serious, can you? Did you not see HWSNBN play in SA? The 3 was all he had left. He couldn't pass, rebound, dunk or even draw fouls any more with that flailing at the basket screaming move we saw over and over and over.

    Beli can create, play pnr, defend (a little) and shoot. Neal can shoot and... um... shoot. Even if Beli shooting % is lower than Neal, he brings much more to the game than Neal ever will. Net positive.

    Still laughing at the people hating on Marco because of his defense against Harden, no one said he would be some defensive stopper on the Spurs.

    You can already see in preseason the impact he can have on the court and I guarantee he won't be a lateral movement to Neal just on the fact that he can handle the ball.

    Also saying HWSNBN could school Marco, lol

    Laying blame on Beli for Harden last night is ludicrous. Harden is the best sg in the league right now, no one can shut him down at the level he's playing at.

    Maggette, Young, Tmak, what the is up with the Spurs and their love affair with washed up old players? I dont think ill ever understand, but if they were going to sign J-ho why release MAggette? Still the better player at this stage imo..

    Howard is a terrible player at this point in his career and the move cements the Spurs FO doing as little as possible to make the team any better than it was last year. There's gambles, and then there's flushing. There is no potential for return on Howard (unlike Maggette), there is only his horrid game that needs to be flushed from the NBA. Too bad he'll be clogging the Spurs toilet.

    I was actually very excited when I saw this. Didn't know about his knee issues though. All I remember is that this guy was a BEAST in Dallas and lit us up every time we played them.

    Watched the 6 minute workout video. He made pretty much every shot...but I didn't see any kind of explosiveness in his game. You'd think he'd want to showcase how healthy he is by dunking the ball and dribbling really fast into the lane, but all he did was shoot. Not very impressed. We need someone who can defend at that position. Someone who can provide energy off the bench. We have plenty of shooters already.

    We'll see. I do however disagree with most of you as I believe he WILL be part of the active roster immediately. The Spurs wouldn't bring in a veteran and send him to the Toros. Pop just doesn't do that. He might not play immediately, but he'll be on the bench for sure.

    Wasn't really the point of the vid, just trying to find the latest visual evidence of what type of shape he was or wasn't in.

    I don't understand why the Spurs would be looking at Howard after waiving Maggette. Howard has his own injury concerns. Can he offer anything more than Maggette could?

    Maggette had a health issue apparently which is why they let him walk.

    Oh I know, good video.

    My comment was for anybody who might get a little too excited about Howard making all his shots.

    Maggette's main redeeming quality was getting to the free throw line but in the preseason we saw that he just didn't have the lift to get far enough in that they had to foul him.

    Howard is a gamble but for the last roster spot on an unguaranteed contract, not a huge one.

    Still rather have Nunnally, CDR or someone young enough to get better over time.

    Guess the system he was playing in had nothing to do with his success, huh? Let's compare their stats at the end of this season and see where they are then.

    And if you think that Beli can't create, play pnr, defend (a little) and shoot and that Neal can, then you are as big of a dumbass as you seem to be.

    Net troll is more like it...

    Well, I'll give this to the Spurs FO....they are definitely not sitting on their laurels for that backup SF spot.

    Wait - there are people who actually think that he's going to suit up for the Spurs? Did anyone read the OP?

    The OP said that he might go to the Toros and even then it could just be for a few games to get his legs back. It wouldn't be surprising to see him play for SA a few weeks into the season. That's not to say that he won't suck, as in all likelihood he will. But they wouldn't sign him just to stick on the Toros.
