Finding The Bigman

[Spurs Dynasty 21]

LOL, pathetic


and Reggie Evan is going to resign with Denver

[Solid D]

Good one GoN.

[50 cent]

Wow, what a depressing list of options.

the Voskul idea.

[navarat]

butler, Ely, or evans. either one.

[spurschick]

Dipping into the crack bin again...

Instead of looking at this year's free agents, what about next year's? I'm not sure if any of these guys have signed extensions, but they're listed as FAs next summer. Perhaps another Bonner-type trade is in the works? (Not saying that these guys are our dream centers... just throwing it out there.)

Predrag Drobniak
Primoz Brezec
Michael Doleac
Jake Tsakalidis

[ChumpDumper]

You had me at "Predrag".

Menge Bateer
Keon Clark
Willis Reed
Bill Russell

[djohn14]

Ely.

[Taking it to the Hole]

Right now, Butler and Ely seem like the only centers worth pursuing and they are both restricted, just like the typical Spur luck. I think we need to make a strong run at Butler, the guy is young, athletic, and has tremendous upside. He is just going to get better and playing next to a Tim Duncan will make him mature faster. If we need to use the full MLE, then so be it. We need a guy like this on our team and right now the well is drying up fast for options, so we need to make a decision and pronto.

is Javatokus(sp?) comming?

[Kori Ellis]

is Javatokus(sp?) comming?

Javtokas. Yes.

[boutons_]

Still several weeks to go, but RC or whoever said it may have to eat his words about Robertas not starting. I figure sooner rather than later. Hustle his maniac butt on defense, crash the boards, and stay out of Tim's way on offense.

We didn't have it that good last year.

[Spurs Dynasty 21]

Javtokas. Yes.

have the Spurs made it official yet?

[Despot]

have the Spurs made it official yet?

I believe it is as official as it can get before July 12.

[strangeweather]

I believe it is as official as it can get before July 12.

Actually, unless I've just completely forgotten it, they haven't held a press conference announcing they'll be signing him.

I thought they can't even do that

[shyne]

I say try and get David Harrsion in a trade

[Obstructed_View]

Every time I see this thread I think Bigman is a jewish name.

That guy is a black hole look at his assist numbers, Yinka Dare like.

[timvp]

The Knicks have 14 players with guaranteed contracts, leaving them just one vacancy on the roster. They have not yet ruled out re-signing their own free agents, Jackie Butler and Qyntel Woods. Isiah Thomas, the team president, said last week that he was comfortable with the roster as is and would not be aggressive in making changes this summer.

Perhaps Butler is available for the right price.

[strangeweather]

Perhaps Butler is available for the right price.

Damn. We're all out of undersized power forwards and unconscionably selfish point guards with horrible contracts.

Maybe we could work a three-way trade?

Or maybe we could resign Van Exel for 6 years/$42 million and ship him out there.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Ely, Evans, Magloire or Gooden.

[picnroll]

We need a vBookie on this. Let's see, we're down to Collins, Butler, Vujcic, Olowokandi. Any other possibilities Pop and Buford can dredge up to live in Mr Robinson's old neighborhood?

[spur219]

I would like Butler but I think he will remain a Knick. The only realistic option I see is Scott Pollard.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Ely would be cool, plus he looks kind of gangsta which is a built-in plus. I'd vote against Evans because he looks a little like Finley, so I think that could create some confusion among teammates.

I remember when Keith Van Horn was coming into the NBA I read an article that said he has a 40-inch vertical leap. I'm convinced he's truly a balla who is just holding out until he gets on the right team. You can't go wrong with a number 3 overall pick.

If you could combine Jarron and Jason Collins like that old WonderTwin cartoon you might actually have yourself a decent center...ok maybe not. At least there'd be 12 good fouls to give. Seeing brothers with that limited skillset playing in the NBA makes me curse my 6'2" genes.
