You should have been here last year....people said Oberto sucks last year about 1000 times more than they said Elson sucks this year...
And Elson didn't suck in that series that quote came from...it was his best series of the playoffs.
So tell me where should I put you,and your exellent BB knowledge when you said Elson was the best big guy the spurs could ever get for 3Mp/year.?????
For that money Scola or even Mahinmi could be atleast making his firts experience in the league and putting WAY better numbers.
the more you talk the stupid/homer/redneck you make your self look like.
TimVP should be happy Barry is a team player...if it was Scola getting a DNP he'd be demanding a trade and accusing the Spurs of ruining his career.
and watch your mouth,before talking about Argentinians BB knowledge,Like Manu did,we can sorprise you.
Um...
Elson played more this year than Oberto did his first year.
It's funny that a guy that had to have his lips surgically removed from Manu's ass is calling anyone else a homer.
Go ahead...get nasty with me.
And you know this how?
Manu didn't surprise me...
Pssst...basketball didn't begin when you discovered it last year...
Cause I know for a fact that It couldnīt get any ing worst tham ing Fransisco Fuking Elson.Plain and simple.
why?, you think Elson is the too?
I probably Watch and PLAY more Basketball in a year,tham what you did in your whole life.And not just NBA.
Why? You going to try and challenge my basketball knowledge next?
No I think Elson sucks donkey balls, doesnt mean he cant play better in the sytem. And it sure as doesnt mean that Mahinmi or Scola would be better. There are no guarantees in the NBA. I personally think Manhinmi will never come over to the NBA
The Spurs likely have a timetable for when they want Mahinmi to come over. That appears to be the 2008-09 season. If Horry plays one more season and Oberto stays then the active bigman rotation will be set. Should Ely not be brought back then maybe there is a spot for another big on IR. My guess is that the Spurs will look to bring in Scola or Javtokas should Horry opt to hang it up after this season or Oberto leaves. Right now I expect little turnover in the frontcourt this summer.
Honestly these threads would be better if newbie Argies would stop acting like anything less than total endorsement of every player born on their soil, is an insult to their heritage. I almost think that if any of these guys were the President of Arg(which is always a distinct possiblity)...they'd go to war over the national slight of someone saying Delfino is almost as good as Jordan.
You know what,I donīt really care how much you know about Basketball,but If you ever happened to play Basketball,and have been watching Basketball for a long time,and also have watched European and International Basketball in general for the past 5 or 6 years,you should know for a fact that Elson is probably one of the worst Big man in the league.Since Scola have been the Spanish MVP more tham once.
1 st of all,the ones killing Women and Childs in Irak aint Argentinians Solders.
and them,I appriciatte wordwide basketball,not just Argentinian.Including NBA.
Going back to Delfino,He aint even gonna be better tham Manu,but He is young and talented to learn more,and before all of that,He is a team player,something that many American players should learn how to play(as a team)
Well I would say that Elsons biggest problem is not knowing where to be at the right time, a problem many 1st year Spurs have. He is fast, athletic, and has a nice jumper. The only thing that makes him look so bad is the fact that he is playing with other guys that know the sytem and where to be. Im not saying he is a gift to basketball fans or anything, but there are plenty of bigs in the league that dont have the skill set Elson has.
Hopefully Elson learns Spurs Basketball before it's time to make a decision on his future with the club, given his profile. He could be really a really nice part of the rotation with his athleticism and shotblocking.
Delfino's not a team player...and you insult Manu and Oberto..guys that are, by making that claim.
Delfino's a cancerous that demanded PT before he could even play, for a championship contender....he demanded PT, he demanded trades, he whined and ed while his team was in the middle of a playoff drive. Edit: A championship playoff drive.
Players don't pull that in Europe either, without getting called out for it.
They have to earn their spot there...I'd say even moreso than they do here...where talent will get you past a lot of players.
Not impressed with Delfino...I don't give a where he was born.
Iīm not trying to start a fight here with you Mards,I have enough with the pivot already,but If He is so fast and Athletic,why Oberto played the more minutes and Got the best Series stats againts the suns out of them 2?
I thought He was brought to mutch up better with the suns and Mavs.
Time will tell wottt,donīt worry,like it happened with Elson already(a fiasco)Delfino will find the way to play some minutes like Herrmann did in charlotte,and them like always happens,everybody will kiss his ass.
Im not arguing either really other than the fact that Elson has some skills. Berrty had a year jump on him learning the system, as I recall he wasnt all that great last year, but that year under his belt learning the system has really paid off during this post-season. Im just hoping that Elson can make the same kind of turnaround that did Berrty this year. I will say though, that no other Spur in recent memory has pissed me off more than Elson. If he plays next year like he did this year, I will agree with you that he is horrible. Im just hoping it is more the steep learning curve as opposed to just low basketball i.q.
Delfino's been in the league for what...3 years?
That's as long as any Argie other than Manu...they've all had more success than he has...and none of them have made horse's ass of themselves to the degree he has.
I hope Manu continues slapping Delfino for a few more years...he needs it.
Hey wise guy, easy with the Brazil cracks!Call me brazilian if you want, but I won't say that ... Delfino is skilled but has no the mentality that Manu has, probably Chapu is more like Manu's mindset but no Carlos.
I'm American but have a home and business in Brazil as well as the U.S. and love Brazil and its people.
So I'll call you Brazilian and, hence, will be giving you massive props, brother.
Which is why San Antonio needs to open their f-ing checkbook and do what it takes to get him here this summer...before he's 57.
jeje, 3 grados en Salta right now.
Well, his countrymen started off their NBA careers with small contracts so he'll have to do the same if he wants to be a Spur.Which is why San Antonio needs to open their f-ing checkbook and do what it takes to get him here this summer...before he's 57.
