Ditto, Steve Kerr as well.
chalk it up to the inevitable exceptions to every rule
People are going to expect so much from NVE and when he struggles at first, or whines about having to play so much D, gets in the doghouse, i garuntee you there will be some in here demanding for him to be traded..
No Trailblazers?The 6-foot-1, 33-year-old guard previously played for the Lakers, Nuggets, Mavericks and Warriors in his 12-season career.
Was I dreaming all this time?
Perhaps, but Van Exel falls into the Mario Elie, Danny Ferry, Jerome Kersey, Kevin Willis and Terry Porter type rugged veteran group. Those are the type of players that don't really get effected by the added pressure of being on a championship team.
Sometimes though, players come to the Spurs can't adjust to the pressure. I don't think NVE falls into that category.
It's a one year deal.... demanding to be traded?
You are speaking too soon.
He's a veteran, most veterans know what to do...especially if they've been in alot of teams already.
I disagree with you.
Personally i agree, but it just seems sometimes like some people get their hopes up way too high and with expectations high, the usual performance doesn't satisify.

So its official that he was signed for the 1 year minimum?
It's either 1-year minimum or 1-year LLE.
You are blowing smoke out of your @ss again, Timvp. Please provide sources, or do us a favor and put down the pipe.
The facts are: The Spurs realized that Barry and Manu were better bringing up the ball against the extreme pressure Detroit and few other teams in the NBA can provide. Because of this, Beno correctly sat on the pine.
Bringing in NVE is no more of an insult to Beno's status with the Spurs than the flirting with Kidd was to Tony. It is a business. And like Kidd was thought to be in 2003 over Tony, NVE is thought to be an upgrade for next year over Beno. However, the Spurs will signed Nick for only one year because the future always belongs to the young. I see the Spurs making the best move for the present ... and keeping youth and options for the future.
"Welcome to San Antonio, Van Exel!"
countdown to "NVE should replace Tony in the startng lineup"
Do you work for NASA?
What are you questioning? That that the Spurs have tried to trade Beno this summer? That has been well do ented. On draft night they tried to trade him for Jarrett Jack. He was also named in a sign-and-trade for Antonio Daniels.
Stop starting sheyittt
Whoever has this on their mind ever throughout the season should get off the bandwagon.
I give it 5 games.
When Beno is traded, you can apologize.
I don't know if they'll end up trading Beno, since NVE is only one year. I wouldn't trade him unless I could package him. But I know that they've been trying.
Countdown to NVE should replace Parker? You have got to be kidding me.
Wait til Nick puts up 2 or 3 in a row with the shot clock at 19.
Kori, I have been around the NBA for long enough to know there is a great deal of smoke produced without much fire. Please don't try to act like everything you hear is true, pretending your sources always get it correct. We saw little clue to the signing of NVE, Spree was going to the Rockets, SAR to the Nets and Finley was a lock go to the Heat. If I bought into the BS spewed for weeks I would be as clueless as those who did. If Finley goes to the Heat, it is one our of four. If not, it is about as accurate as you and timvp are on Beno, in my humble view. Beno has great skills for the price the Spurs have him locked up at. That does not equate to the FO not talking if an offer is on the table. But they will not cut a solid player for nothing, and they will not give him away.
Who said they would?
I called NVE long ago.
Agreed!
Based upon how I veiw his skills, AND his contract I don't see it happening. But I will give you props if you get it correct.
I'm not acting like anything. You are being an asshole and attacking people for stating an opinion. They aren't my sources anyway. They've been do ented in several news outlets around the country.Please don't try to act like everything you hear is true, pretending your sources always get it correct.
Except his agent saying last week it was between the Spurs and the Heat.We saw little clue to the signing of NVE
The only thing that stopped that was scar tissue.SAR to the Nets
No one close to Finley has said that.Finley was a lock go to the Heat
There's a little background for you, Tool Man.
No ... but I do enjoy going deep in to outerspace.
