Guys, we need to face the facts.
We're screwed unless we come up with some magical trade.
Well, well, well. No center, no back-up point guard, and no young or long athletic 3. I have a feeling that Ian will be here sooner rather than later, if he shows anything in summerleague. If things continue the way they are, the only logical option is to bring the kid in and let him earn his stripes the hard way. The Spurs will have nothing to lose by brining Ian in instead of the marginal scrubs currently available.
If he needs to work on his game, he may as well get in the NBA. As it stands now, he will get sufficient minutes on the currently cons uted Spurs team, and because there are 82 games instead of (?) however many in euroleague, it is only natural that he will get better by learning NBA style basketball. , just give him a few iso's during games to work on his offense. He already is what Spurs need, and his attributes are exactly what the team is looking for now:
1. Youth
2. Athleticism
3. Rebounding
4. Defense
Why the talk about him needing time to develop? Develope what? Offense? If Spurs wanted offense, they would bring in Scola. He is already young and freakishly athletic. U can't teach that. He can already run the floor and jump out of the gym. What the f*&# are they going to teach him? How to jump higher? Oh I know; how to be younger.
Give the kid NBA experience. It didn't hurt KG, Kobe, or Lebron. If they truly believe that this kid will be a stud, it's time to get it crackin'. Later for the bone plates closing and stuff like that. Bring him along slowly at first and by mid-season put him through the "burning sands". This kid is going to respond positively if he is all that.
Again, as currently cons uted and if no other moves will be made, the best option is bringing Ian over now. But, stay tuned.

Guys, we need to face the facts.
We're screwed unless we come up with some magical trade.
i think at this point our only options are mahinmi and scola. scola obviously isnt a need, but if we cant get anyone else we might as well gamble. maybe if we convince him to take a two year offer so we can get the buyout out of the way, and if things dont pan out we can trade him the next year (expiring contract + potential should have some value). that MLE has to be used somehow.
You can join Shaggy and TPark in the quitters line.
the only realistic trade that would be beneficial for us and that makes sense for both teams...and contracts that do MATCH...is barry for gadzuric
all of this talk about the Spurs. Nobody knew about Parker or Ginobili before we got them, so how the do you know what Javtokas is capable of? You dont, so stop with the we really needed Joel, and lets wait and see what the Lithuanian kid can do. Spurs fans dont jump ship, so these talkers arent Spurs fans obvoiusly
Yes there is only one trade in the entire NBA that makes sense for the Spurs.
Spurs dont need need to use their midlevel for any of the remainin big men cuz they can already get equal production from what they have now( horry duncan bonner oberto javtokas)....the remanin free agent bigs are really weak...tradin barry fora big and still havin our midlevel to sign a wing would be a lot more beneficial
So you think Gadzuric is worth the money he's being paid.
He has approximately a MLE deal for the next five years. To me, a guy who fouls so much that he won't be able to play more than 25 minutes isn't worth that.
come up with another trade scenario ..that isnt biased that would make sense..CHumpDumper..please...
and the reason i say it makes sense is villanueva and boguts contract's will come up and bucks will need to get rid of gadzurics contract eventually....bucks need a shootin guard or a guard since they only have 3 on their current roster...and barrys contract not only Matches gadzurics but comes off the books in 2 years givin space to sign bogut and villanueva to extenstions...
I think takin on gadzuric's contract is better than signin jarron collins lorenzen wrigt..michael olokandi or reggie evans with the midlevel...yes
To sign those players, you wouldn't use the whole mid-level. Lorenzen Wright is expecting to get 1/2 what he was paid last year. Reggie Evans market value is probably around 2M.
I think people already did come up with a better deal... trading for Magloire. Try reading.
Whats the difference in offering przybilla a 4 year 24 million dollar deal than takin on gadzuric's contract...one year??? and dont say spurs are tryin to save cap space for mahimni..or other foreigners overseas..mahimni..( there most desired player overseas) will get his 28th 1st round rookie contract which will be cheap..)that will be for 2 years and 2 years being spurs option...if i am correct....
i would rather spurs try to trade barry for a big and go after a wing and sign javtokas with the MLE ...than anything else
Barry, Oberto, Scola for Troy Murphy.
i say, we should use the mle on javtokas + scola, if things dont work out, trade! its more feasible and easy to trade the player since there contracts are small.
what is Tyson Chandler's current status?
why is he's listed as "probably gone?"
i am not actually disappointed we didnt get Pryz or Big Ben or the Spurs for letting Nazr walk. But I've been following Chandler's game and I really like him to play with the Spurs-he's a scorer and a solid post player.
i like Darious Songalia too. If he doen't fit with this team then let him walk next summer when Mahimi comes.
Przybilla is better than Gadzuric. Gadzuric will foul out.
Not really, they only have two other guys under contract.and the reason i say it makes sense is villanueva and boguts contract's will come up and bucks will need to get rid of gadzurics contract eventually.
It's a halfway plausible trade, but there's no real reason for the Bucks to do it now.
Maybe if Redd went down with an injury.
Chicago is likely trading him to the Hornets.
I wouldn't mind seeing Gadzuric here. Gadzuric's problem is he's so skinny he gets knocked around in the paint but he has pretty good athleticism. He's not a Center with his build but he could play some power forward. Decent player.
oh noooo!!!!![]()
i know u wouldnt use the whole midlevel but most of it ...yes....spurs already have 12 roster spots with javtokas..so signing one free agent that CAN make an IMPACT (bonzi wells)...would make us a better team and to get reggie evans they would have to offer close to the full...nuggets offered around 2.75...and all the other FA bigs are TRASH and would be a waste of a MLE and waste of an offseason
You'd want him for over 5M a year for the next five years?
No one likes my Barry, Oberto, Scola's rights for Troy Murphy.
