Dallas Paper: Speedy to Spurs?

[sa_butta]

By the way, I'm not saying that Beno shouldn't be the backup point guard. I don't think he's had a legitimate shot. I'm just saying that I think that he would have been given some minutes in the postseason if not for his bad showing in the closing minutes of the Houston game.

If Beno wants to be the backup point, he does need to get in better shape though.

Exactly what I think.

[sa_butta]

would be great to get



then we finally don't have to worry about Mr. Choke Parker in the big games

Claxton may have bailed out Parker back then, but lets be real here Claxton is no Parker.

[Mr. Body]

That's why he's a back up

[Quadzilla99]

Everybody keeps saying we need a 3. We do, but not that bad-in half of our games Manu plays the 3 every time BB guards the teams 2 guards, which he does all the time (Kobe, Rip, Ray Allen, D-Wade, Paul Pierce etc. etc.) Manu guards the other teams Sfs and he usually does a good job. (He didn't do that well against Dallas I'll admit). So technically we have 2 guys who can play the three. Manu does it at least 30 games a year. Manu could play the SF in the future if we cant find a 3 but could find a good 2.

[ducks]

manu can only play 30 minutes a game

[Quadzilla99]

How is that relevant to what position he plays?

[ChumpDumper]

Flavor of the day: Barry/Beno for Speedy/JR

[T Park]

That would be too good to be true chump....

[ducks]

you have to have a backup to play his postion
his backup should be better then some others because they have to play more minutes

[coachmac87]

ok let me set this strait with everyone in the chat room...before the spurs do anything...they are going to have to take care of their center position....thats what they really need..a starting center(altho i see duncan moving to the center) rasho is gone and nazr is a free agent....scola isnt a tall enough...and i wouldnt be comfortable of robertas starting...spurs still have oberto on their damn cap(biggest mistake bringin him over) so before we start dreamin about speedy or jr smith....need to adress the starting lineup with another big!!!!!

I'm not sure what you're getting at, but what I'm saying is if we can't find a 3 in the future Manu could play there like he has in the past and someone else could play the two. It's not that big of a deal Manu guards 3s like I said 30-40 games a year and does fine.

How difficult is it to dream about more than one player at a time?

Not much at all.

Relax, we'll try to get Ben Wallace first, then work down the list.

[ChumpDumper]

I said we'll try.

Don't you understand English?

We'll talk to Ben, float a S&T to Joe which he'll turn down and that will be the end of it.

this is robertas if u dont kno who this man really is.....better be a spur next year

[ChumpDumper]

Well, you can't type English....

[scolikrose]

My first choice would be Luis Scola with the MLE, dude just has all the intangibles and fire that Malik Rose had, but i guess POP is king.

I think everyone here knows who he is. That video has been up here for quite a while.

i want you to project the spurs starting lineup

[JGrice02]

"spurs still have oberto on their damn cap(biggest mistake bringin him over)"

For that to be true he would have to be costly and he is not. Oberto is a nice backup to the backup. He is failry smart and we got him on the cheap. Maybe it was a mistake bringing him over, but a big mistake? How can it be a big mistake when he doens't really cost us much?

Resigning Rose was a big mistake. Signing Rasho was a big mistake. But when you are only paying your reserve center $2.5 million I'm not sure you can call that a big mistake.

Heck, only two guys on the roster make less money than him. Beno and Bonner. If anything he will end up being a cheap mistake. But he still has a chance to turn thigns around. Remember, last season he was a rookie in a foreign country.

[T Park]

I see the coach is now making demands

[Kori Ellis]

i want you to project the spurs starting lineup

Duncan
Some guy who isn't on the team yet
Bowen
Ginobili
Parker

[picnroll]

Buford has alraedy said Javtokas isn't a starter. Did he tell you something different?

Yes, but he did have his best friend on the roster that should have made it easier. He will another chance this year it looks like, but we could use that 2.5 mill right now.
