I hope they have enough man-purse stores in Ohio to keep him happybye! Beno!
What I have maintained all along. Beno could be one of those players in the doghouse, so they dump him, and he comes back to bite them in the ass.
That's one trait I don't like about Pop. He knows how to encourage talent but he can discourage it in another player.
De yu go
Basketball
Exactly which players were in Pop's doghouse who came round to bite them in the ass?
Just out of curiosity, why? From a basketball standpoint, he hasn't done anything. He just sits on the bench.
ok, if it doesn't work this way, IMO it is still a good thing to get rid of Beno for whatever pick, because (as mentioned) it gives us some room under the threshold. not much, but better than nothing.
I would rather save the money or sign a FA for this kind of money, than waste another year. 1.7 million might be enough to get Bell or Blake.
or to get a veteran who wants a shot at the le.
One Mr Irrelevant for another!!!
The Spurs would have a calendar year from the date of the trade in which to use the trade exception for themselves.
Linton Johnson
Thet guy would have been a perfect fit for a small ball 4 last season. Hes a great athlete, rebounds, plays decent defense, and has a developing offensive game. He would have been a great 8th or 9th man role player that costs virtually nothing. Instead, we have no depth at the 3.
You do realize that Manu Ginobili was the second to last pick in his draft, right?One Mr Irrelevant for another!!!
He's never 'bit them in the ass' - he's never beaten them in the sense the poster meant it.
I don't even think he's made them regret letting him go.
I do understand your point; however, it doesn't change the fact Beno was Mr. Irrelevant this year (in my opinion) which is what the last player in the draft is generally referred too.
The fact Ginobili was one pick removed from being labelled Mr. Irrelevant his draft year doesn't change the argument above. Logically they are mutually exclusive.
How many top 10 picks have bombed over the years? How many undrafted picks (ie. Bowen) have succeded in spite of not being drafted.
" ... it's the same difference." as illogical as it might sound.

I was really just trying to be a smartass. But I understand your point. And I agree, Beno was Mr. Irrelevent. And if we get the last pick in the draft it will probably simply be another Kaurolev.
I was looking at one of the classic threads, the Suns game in '05 where the Spurs were down huge at Phoenix in the 4th (like 17 pts), Horry was out, Rasho (the starting center at the time) was injured during the game and out. This was the game where Amare did his infamous pushup routine late in the game after a slam.
To make a long story short the Spurs came back to tie it in regulation and won it going away in OT. And who was one of the key factors in the comeback but ... Beno. It's a damned shame the kid totally lost his nerve because from THAT game you could see that he could play, at least against a team that played no defense. Oh well. Better luck in your next stop, kid.
shoooo nuff
Is this an opinion or has there been something written about this by a coach or front office guy?
Why does he need someone to wash his car on the weekends??
Is there something about this rumor in the Slovenian press or is ti just again a Vecsey BS news ?
go ahead, I'll pay the plane ticket
bye beno
Having ploto for a fan.
beno isnt a bad player...just does not fit with the spurs..he is a slow pg but has a badass jumper and is a very crafty passer...but still cant guard anybody...i will take beno over jaque....who i think is worthless...i hear that the spurs are thinking about resigning????? are u kidding me??? he hustles....um ok i remember the day when espn did a special how he went so many games without a field goal...spurs could do better on a back up pg
Beno would be a great fit for the Cavs. He's a good scorer, he's a good passer, and Lebron can bring the ball past midcourt for him. He never has to worry about the coach yelling at him.
