Of course Elson starts. Who else is gonna?
Elson is a proven role player. He will NOT be expected to start. I have seen elson play and have friends who live near denver and watch the games. No complaints here. He will get roughly 2.8 mil this year. Not overspending. He is more proven than Butler and has actually started games for a Denver team that was fighting for the playoffs. Denver probably won't match, not because they think Elson is awful, but because they have three bigs right now who will all get big minutes and they usually fill their backup roles with fodder. Hence Elsons first contract. He is not a premier shot blocker, rebounder, or low post scorer. But you can't get one of those for the mle anyways, so quit complaining.

elson will start for about the first 15 games until it is apparent that is a ruefully bad idea and then bonner or horry will make it into the starting lineup. maybe the spurs will finally stop pretending that td is a power forward and announce him as the starting center
francisco elson will force tim duncan to change starting spots. he sucks that hard.
I'd love to see a Bonner-Duncan-Bowen front line. We'll get out-rebounded by about 20 a game.
With Elson, the margin would be only 15.
The Facts are:
Bonner was the Starter Center of the Raptors sometimes
Oberto was the Starter center in Argentina in the World Championship and the Olympics and in both Victorys vs USA
I Think Oberto or Bonner, or if Pop want Horry like in sometimes in the PO, because in the start sometimes there are other center in the team, but in the end of the game, the center is Duncan
Bonner with his great FT% can clase a lot of games, and probably can take some rebound in the 4th, because we haven´t rebounds form everyone not named TD in the Clutch
Don't expect rebounds from Bonner. They're like a tasty gravy, but don't expect them. You'll be saying more often than not, "where's my tasty gravy?"
i think bonner will do better than people think he will.
I think Bonner has a new nickname: Matt "Gravy" Bonner. I like it.
Isn't that what we thought when we got Nazr?
Francisco Freakin' Elson. I still can't believe it.
Here are some stats that should keep you up at night.
In the playoffs, the Nuggets outscored the Clippers 100-94 per 100 possessions when Elson was out of the game. When Elson was in the game, they were outscored 123-84 per 100 possesions.
Are you kidding me?
When Elson was on the court, the Clippers shot 58.9%. When Elson was sitting on the bench, the Clippers shot 44.8%.
Don't even get me started on how bad the Nuggets were outrebounded when Elson was on the court.
This will all make sense when Manu "suffers" a "season-ending injury" in the WC's, Duncan "blows his knee" in training camp, and Parker is in and out of the lineup with "nagging ailments."Francisco Freakin' Elson. I still can't believe it.

19-63. The Tank for Greg Oden Sweepstakes... coming soon.
Pretty much now I think the R.C. Buford made a "Trading Places" kind of bet. Swap Francisco Elson for Robertas Javtokas and, if they can still make it to the 2nd round of the playoffs, Pop owes him $1.
Beno Udrih.
Brent Barry.
Bruce Bowen.
Matt Bonner.
Francisco Elson!
Ladies and gentleman, the starting lineup for yooouuuuur San Antonio Spurs!
Oh wait it gets better.
You thought Rasho was soft?
Well Elson didn't attempt a shot in the paint in the playoffs. Didn't even try. In 80+ minutes. In the playoffs. Do or die.
That's the end of the first quarter with the score, your Spurs 8, the Charlotte Bobcats 30.
Help 'em out!
george karl is a terrible coach
Tanking for Greg Oden solves the frontline issues.
Who was last in +/- on the Nuggets in the playoffs? That's right, Francisco Elson.
Per 48 minutes that he was on the court, the Nuggets were outscored 115-78. In each of the five games, he brought home a negative +/-.
brand is atleast on of the best bigs in the nba now though
So the Nuggets probably won't be matching the offer then...
I think I still hear George Karl laughing. This is like if someone gave Sean Marks a 2-year, $8M deal.
Really, with what I've been hearing about how terrible Rasho and Nazr have been, how could he be worse?
Famous last words.

Worst case scenario, he doesn't play in the playoffs and the Spurs lose in overtime of game 7. Sounds like a wash to me.
