Spurs dropped the ball

[easjer]

I love how team chemistry doesn't matter, nor does understanding the system, nor does the success of this very system despite a flawed team. Ripping all of that to shreds to make the OP feel better about the Spurs *doing something* is a terrific plan. Why the are you people complaining about such a foolproof plan?!

I love how team chemistry doesn't matter, !

This may be why Dallas did not do any deadline deals. They finally realized that it takes time for players to learn to play together and even more so for the Spurs. The big winners of the trade deadlne were those teams that were able to keep their team intact, and again, even more so for the Spurs.

Thabeet could be a good defensive center. He is not going to give much on the offensive end but he could be an inside intimidator and with the spurs he could have fit that role. No doubt Pop could have worked him into being a productive player concentrating on defense and rebounding.

The spurs are one of the few teams that could have taken on Thabeet because they already have enough offensive backcourt fire power.

I honestly don't know why all the fuss over bigs when the Spurs have one of the better and younger with more upside bigs in Splitter. But don't take my word for it, ask around the league. Most teams would probably give their right nut to have him. , even Steve Kerr feels that the Spurs are set with Splitter and could not trade to get a better big than him!
No, IMHO they need a long athletic 3 pt. shooting SF, but most importantly with excellent defensive abilities, and as close to being a "stopper" as they can get!

I hope the ball don't drop. Spurs got the ball, i know the ball wont drop.
And i pray none of these Spurs never wanna be Lakers.The Spurs get em, The Spurs got em. Tim Duncan got his feet up, vacatin on an island. Yeah, and tell ya girl the Spurs are shootin lights out. And even if you dont like moth er, you gonna have to NEAL WITH IT.

Thabeet gets abused in D-League games.

LOL Thabeet. I just wish he would be a starter on some team so we could unleash our grizzly Blair on him again.

OKC's top 3 bigmen: Ibaka, Perkins, and Mohammmed.

S.A's top 3 bigmen: Duncan, Blair, and McDyess. With Bonner also in the rotation, The Spurs have more front court depth and imo, a better overall front line than OKC. You've been ranting and raving like a little kid who was told to put back the candy bar at the grocery store, about the Spur's FO inability to get a bigman, while praising OKC's moves. OKC was in dire straits as far as desperately needing front court depth, while the Spurs, who could certainly use another bigman, they were nowhere near as desperate a situation as OKC was.

I'm not saying OKC has a better front court than us, I said any one of those guys that they GOT would have helped us. Yea I know OKC is trying to play catch up with the rest of the elites and get size...To them (and presti), size is something needed for the playoffs and for a championship. So yes you're right..I applaud oklahoma for doing what was needed to add size in their front court...I am giving the spurs a big thumbs down for not adding size to their roster. Case Closed.

Great, who would you have traded to get these guys?

[FromWayDowntown]

If only the Spurs had (at any time during the last few years) a role player of Jeff Green's quality (a 25-year old lottery pick) and a throw-in like Krstic or an expiring contract with the heft of Mo Pete's ($6.6MM)!
