Waive Beno.

[Mr. Body]

It is clear that there is no interest in Beno around the league.

We gave up Scola to get rid of Butler, what would or could be thrown into a deal to sweaten it up for teams around the league to take Beno off our hands and allow us to sign up Washington. A 2nd rounder? 1st? Another Euro we've stashed away?

In short, What would YOU give up to get rid of Beno?

I believe it would take a second rounder, and the Spurs won't do it. None of this, 'trade Beno to so-and-so for an exception + a second'. No one thinks Beno is worth that anymore. He's just lousy, and there are third stringer types to be hired from developmental leagues better than him. That he couldn't play in the preseason because of a measly broken finger is icing on the cake. He's a sandwich. He's OUR sandwich.

[TDMVPDPOY]

how can you trade away a guy who is full of win?

trading beno away will hurt us more than the pistons trading away the victory cigar, that explains why they havnt gone back to the finals since that one hit wonder...

[MannyIsGod]

It's too far from sure sure that Spurs want to get ride of Beno like most Spurstalkers want.

Last February, Ludden had reported that even if Beno was on the trading block, Spurs weren't looking at dumping him. Pop called Beno a "great insurance policy" as 3rd string PG.

Spurs could still think the same thing. The only event that could have changed their though is Beno's interview this summer. However, I think that Spurs don't give a about it as long as Beno hasn't a bad at ude in practice or in the locker room. There hasn't had a single report suggesting that Beno was a cancer.

Spurs staff could just be fine with Beno as 3rd string PG and is likely as desperate as fans to dump Beno.

I pretty much agree with all of that. I hate the guy, but te reality is that he's not bad if you consider him a 3rd string pg and the bill has to be paid either way so you might as well keep him.

[Mr. Body]

The second part is nonsense: "We already bought this milk. Even if it's spoiled we might as well use it for dinner."

The first part is the issue. Beno isn't going to be anything more than he is, which is a third stringer. For a third stringer he was okay last year, although his production, if you call it that, came in blowouts.

Next year he likely isn't on the roster. The question then is, how much do we expect to pay for a replacement? Vaughn doen't have much time left. Do we think Washington is a future primary backup? If so, waive Beno or Williams, keep him on. The cost rises rapidly if you don't.

My guess, though, is that the team doesn't see Washington as a future primary backup.

Thats probably the best guess right now.

[remingtonbo2001]

I think I brought this up before, but is possible to sign and put forth a pe ion to release Beno? Surely we can find someone on this board who put it in the right hands.

COUGH...COUGH...Kori?

10,000 signitures would be a piece of cake. I want him cut, you want him cut. The entire city of San Antonio wants him cut. Let's make it happen.

If the team made decisions based on what the fans want this team would be still looking for a 1st championship. You and I have no pull whatsoever, so relax, sit back and watch and feel free to as loudly as you like.

[SenorSpur]

Why the not?

I watched a recording of Game 5 of the 2005 WCF between Spurs and Suns. During the game, Beno was the backup PG. He did a fairly admirable job and for once looked as though he knew what he was supposed to be doing. He hit some wide open 3s, made some nice passes, etc. Of course, we all rememeber how the Pistons virtually undressed him during NBA Finals.

My point in bringing this up is that, seeing how he's regressed, it's hard to remember that he was actually functional and servicable and one time.

I'm surprised the Spurs didn't unload his ass to Houston as part of the Scola deal. After watching Clevelands pathetic PG situation in the NBA finals, it's hard to believe they wouldn't be interested.

[Mr. Body]

Really, Beno would just add to the pathetic quotient of Cleveland's point guards.

It's not like they have the roster room anyways.

[Mr. Body]

It's not like they have the roster room anyways.

Seriously. They have about 4-5 terrible point guards, depending on the Boobie.

People need to extinguish the idea that any team wants a loser like Beno Udrih. The Spurs would have to include full cash and a second round pick to get rid of him.

[Darkwaters]

What about trading him to the Pacers? They are down to 14 players now, are looking to rebuild, and play the constantly hurt Jamaal Tinsley and Travis Diener at PG with their 3rd string being Orien Greene...a fringe NBA player at best.

[Taco]

i wonder if houston would give us scola for beno

Sarunas Jasikevicius didn't work out for the Pacers, and he has about four-five times the skill and drive of Beno. Even Larry Bird isn't dumb enough to want Beno.

Another possibility might be Boston. Their PG situation blows - Rajon Rondo is their lead (and is blatantly untested, if somewhat promising), and Eddie House is the backup...

[Que Gee]

He's not going to get waived and thats for sure.

I'd be surprised though if he isn't traded by the end of November.
