    I am going to take the contrarian view. Beno for his faults has talents that some other NBA basketball players don't have - he is a pure passer and has a fine motion on his shots, and when, he was the 2nd point guard in the past put up pretty good numbers.

    There was a comment on air during the playoffs that Beno would start for many teams, and although, that is highly argueable, he would I believe in the right system (and with renewed confidence) he could be a valuable player.

    What the Spurs should have done was trade him. I believe that is still the plan rather than waiving him.


    Did you miss Beno complaining during his interviews?

    Beno's a cancer....


    I have a feeling you missed that part of the summer.

    I quite agree with that.
    I think too that Beno isn't that bad as 3rd string PG.
    The 3rd string PG is a player who will spend the whole year on the IL.
    If Parker or Vaughn is injured or suspended during the playoffs, I don't think a player like Washington will do a better job than Beno.
    I don't see Spurs waiving Beno to sign Washington unless they think that Washington is a very good prospect and has enough upside to be Spurs backup PG (over Vaughn) in 08-09.

    except that Beno was SUPPOSED to be our 2nd string PG. But he is a so he screwed that project up. And we have Vaughn who I would not consider a 2nd string PG at all. Vaugh is a 3rd string PG at best.

    So what we have right now is a 3rd string PG as our 2nd PG and a piece of as our 3rd PG

    and the Spurs tried to trade Beno countless of times. But nobody wants him. NOBODY

    Vaughn has been a 2nd string PG these last 7 years.

    Beno has had more 2nd chances than any other Spur in history and failed miserably, Beno has terrible work habits and he has said some terrible things to the media. And to top it off, Beno still acts like he deserves more minutes. After all that, you blame the fans for hatin on Beno???

    any self-respecting Spur fan has all the right to hate on Beno. Actually I am wondering if you are a real Spur fan

    To look at it in another perspective, try to imagine you know nothing about the Spurs.

    Now...would you want us to have a point guard named "Beno" or a point guard named "Darius"

    His name alone gives him strength beyond strength. If these news articles are not homering at a bloadage pace, odds are this guy will be in the league longer than Beno. If we let him slip through our hands and lose an opportunity to develop a promising role player it will be yet another nitch in the belt of those squandering Duncan's Prime for monetary purposes. Yeah yeah I know, Duncan's prime hasn't been exactly squandered, but when you have the chance to run the table year in and year out, why not ing go for it? The extra tickets, media, memorabilia, etc from 1 extra championship would surely outweigh Beno's lame ass contract, wouldn't it?


    It's been mentioned but I feel it still has not received enough attention:
    passion.

    And this guy has it. That alone will lift you to higher and higher levels of accomplishment, in any field or sphere known to man.

    Beno does not have this.


    We're beginning our fourth year with this loser.
    FOUR
    YEARS

    That is stereotypical and offends two racial groups at once

    Stereotypical yes, racist no. Darius is a name of kings. It invokes an aura of power.

    When I hear the name "Beno" for the rest of my life I will think of a sloth, non productive disappointment. Call me out but that's the reality.

    I guess. But the 2 King Darius that I know off the top of my head got their butts kicked by the Greeks. So I guess we need to go get a Greek point guard. Oh wait, we let him go.

    Beno Udrih refuses to run because his finger is hurt.

    David Robinson played years with a broken back.

    Radosoft once cut off his with a chainsaw in the mountains of Slovenia and played a whole season without painkillers. True story.

    Ya know we make fun of Rasho, but in game 6 against the Lakers, he severely sprained his ankle, and CAME BACK.

    He played on a bad ankle.

    If anything else he had more guts than his fellow countryman.

    Rasho was a boisterous, lusty, hearty lumberjack compared to weeny, preening Beno.

    It's too far from sure sure that Spurs want to get ride of Beno like most Spurstalkers want.

    Last February, Ludden had reported that even if Beno was on the trading block, Spurs weren't looking at dumping him. Pop called Beno a "great insurance policy" as 3rd string PG.

    Spurs could still think the same thing. The only event that could have changed their though is Beno's interview this summer. However, I think that Spurs don't give a about it as long as Beno hasn't a bad at ude in practice or in the locker room. There hasn't had a single report suggesting that Beno was a cancer.

    Spurs staff could just be fine with Beno as 3rd string PG and is likely as desperate as fans to dump Beno.

    It is clear that there is no interest in Beno around the league.

    We gave up Scola to get rid of Butler, what would or could be thrown into a deal to sweaten it up for teams around the league to take Beno off our hands and allow us to sign up Washington. A 2nd rounder? 1st? Another Euro we've stashed away?

    In short, What would YOU give up to get rid of Beno?
