Sheed is just too old and unpredictable, along with the dreaded possibility of another one of Pop's mancrushes for relics, which could hinder Ian's progress in logging heavy minutes.
I can see a new spurs era being Tony, Blair, RJ, and Gortat

Is Pop more stubborn than smart, or the other way around?
Sometimes it's tough to tell for me.
Besides, I don't think he thinks he's being stubborn when he does that. I think that's what he calls being loyal. Pop's very loyal to "his guys".
Either way, I would like Pop to play guys that deserve more minutes, regardless of who's feelings might get hurt. But Pop wouldn't be Pop if he did things "bottom line" like other coaches. Maybe this rare loyalty is part of what separates him from the rest.
What I mean is he wouldn't give Gortat the treatment he'd give Wallace, like he did for Horry, NVE, Fin, etc.
Gortat would just be another guy having to work for his minutes.
In that case, if a rookie like Blair was rolling, minutes would get distributed more fairly. At least in MY eyes, LOL!
I'm getting ahead of myself...
Gortat gives you more trading value when Splitter decides to come over or not. You will have Mahinmi, Duncan, Gortat, Blair, Splitter, and maybe even Gist. We will have some young tradeable pieces to rebuild the team.
exactly!!! then go after a decent power forward to start slowly taking tims place....very slowly haha
HAHA i think we all are in one way or another just cant wait for the next season to start!!!
Couldn't agree with u more and like I said if the spurs went after Gortat I wouldn't mind. The offense might be reminicent of the twin towers days. And the point someone made about the Spurs having Gortat as a future tradeable asset is intruiging. Either one I think will improve the Spurs chances of gettin that TrophyHAHA i think we all are in one way or another just cant wait for the next season to start!!!

Shortat
Hes about as tall as Tim and the same Height as Dwight Howard
How is that short?
Sheed will have to be happy with our MLE. Reported tonight on Ticket 760 was Sheed really wants to play next season with the Magic. Not sure if this is to throw reporters off track or if he is serious. To get a guy under contract like a Camby will be next to impossible because all we have left to trade are Bonner, Mason & Hill and Pop/Holt/RC won't be giving up all 3 plus a bunch of cash.
It would be nice to get Sheed but, if Manu comes back 100% and Tim doesn't have flareups in his knees we won't necessarily need a lot of offense out of the center position. We will need a defensive presence in the paint to clog it up, take pressure off of Tim, to block shots and most importantly get rebounds. With our offensive lineup of shooters, both starters and bench players, a guy who can give us 5-8 pts per night along with 7-9 rebounds would fit in nicely with Pop's system. Maybe not even those stats would be needed. A center with height, length and flexability who can help us against LA in the WC Finals and against either Orlando, Cleveland or Boston in the NBA Finals.
We should know something in 3 days or so. I doubt the Spurs will let much time go by before signing someone of merit. In Pop & R.C. I trust!!!
My question with all the Gortat lovers is...who could you trust in the post, both offensive and defensive post play IF DUNCAN WAS HURTING?
This is where Rasheed's experience would come into play. Gortat hasn't shown the skill to create a play, pass out of the double team, or patiently hold the ball to let the play develop. I agree his dive cuts to the rim are good, that he does as good a job as any 2nd-tier post player in holding his ground defensively. But if Duncan was hurt, could the Spurs rely on Gortat more than if they had Rasheed?
That is the question that Gortat backers must answer.
Beat me to it! ESPN insider said "Sheed could join VC in Orlando"
so what does that tell you about Orlandos situation? is this Gortat insurance? hmmm....
I think that presently there is all kinds of hype going around. There is no telling what Pop & R.C. will do. They always throw the rest of the NBA some unhittable curve balls. I do think we'll know something definite by Thursday. Teams and players on the move are ready to get things settled ASAP.Beat me to it! ESPN insider said "Sheed could join VC in Orlando"

So, Sheed is in Orlando not SA. But, someone saw Sheed at the airport.
No no noHes about as tall as Tim and the same Height as Dwight Howard

Sheed+Gortat = Shortat
According to all of the WEB GM's, Gortat is the key to our next Championship...
Is there really anyone who can replace tim?? When Manu went out we were lucky to have Roger Mason Jr there getting some points and running/butchering backup point, its always a gamble the NBA is full of what ifs...
with that said, Gortat would not be Power Forward, he would remain Center, that roll might have to be filled by a youngin' but with Tony Gino RJ and Gortat at least you have 4 solid players who can help someone like Gist/Blair/Ian out, in the other hand with Rasheed, although i like his experience, he's also old who's to say he's not going to be joining tim on the bench hurting.... ???
also sheed might be heading to Orlando, does that mean the front office went totally out on there bigs without no real replacements in mind??? Or does that mean that Sheed is more of a fan pipedream and Orlando is getting ready to loose Gortat???
Orlando would rather have Sheed than Gortat... what does that tell you???Is there really anyone who can replace tim?? When Manu went out we were lucky to have Roger Mason Jr there getting some points and running/butchering backup point, its always a gamble the NBA is full of what ifs...

haha
or Gortallace? sounds like a Dinosaur that would just eat rebounds and Block anything trying to get through!
Sheed fits them better right now he can stay on the 3 point line and keep the paint clear for Howard! Gortat works a lot like Howard so i think its an attempt to keep 2 bigs on the floor without clogging the lane.Orlando would rather have Sheed than Gortat... what does that tell you???
Perhaps that their superstar big man must play close to the basket on offense because he has no jumpshot. The other big on the Magic must be able to play outside.Orlando would rather have Sheed than Gortat... what does that tell you???
So, is Duncan or Gortat going to play outside for the Spurs? Or are they going to clog the middle for TP, RJ, and Manu???
Can Gortat hit a jumper on the pick and roll???
Orlando doesnt play the same as we do, we know how to work 2 big men in the paint at the same time ie Tim and David AKA the TWIN TOWERS! But i do see your point, we still have Bonner in there just to shake things up if we need to.
