Ludden: 12 players from championship roster return

V-Span says he misses him mama and his homeboys more than he wants to play in the NBA and that it ain't about money and that's final. He wants to play in Greece.

I suppose one could take him at his word if he continues to talk that way through his agent.

Udoka - fits the profile of what the Spurs like in a player. Well grounded, no stupidity, will defend, fits a role, shoots well from outside, and won't break the bank. If they were ever going to find a 'Bowen replacement', it's him." Marcus Bryant

Well, I'd agree with most of that until the last sentence.

I don't see a 6'5" 30 year old as a replacement for 6'7" Bowen in the long run. Maybe a stop gap backup at SG and at SF when we go small--real small--next year. And since he started a bunch of games last year he'd have to agree to play a lot less minutes next season and be happy with that.

Maybe Bowen is 6'6". If the difference was 6'10" v 6'5" it might matter.

Yeah, who cares about improving?

Exactly, staying the same is going backwards. Its unbelievable the spurs have won with the conservative cheap front office and their moves or lack of moves. That just shows you how great Duncan really is. Most on this forum could win given Duncan as a franchise building block.

Other than hitting on the Parker and Manu draft pick steals the spurs fo has done nothing in getting much in trades or free agency.

What about Speedy (at least for one year), Bowen, Horry, and Oberto? Some here would add Finley.

All marginal talent there. Just role players that could be interchangeable with other role players.
