Nazr to the Pistons

[Kori Ellis]

Then what's the plan? Crossing our fingers and hoping Bonner can do it? Javtokas and Oberto are foul prone, what happens when they get tagged for 12 fouls the first ten minutes they guard Dirk next year? Finley and Bowen splitting time at PF again?

Francisco Elson is too old. There's a lot of other bigs to choose from.

I wouldn't call that a lot of other bigs.

The Spurs aren't playing to give Horry big minutes, so don't stress yourself AHF.

They played him too much during the regular season last year and that was with Rasho and Nazr here.

Well what else is left? Evans? Pollard? Tsakalidis? HITA?

Right now best I can tell we're operating under the guise of being cheap instead of working to make sure this team gets back to the Finals next year.

If you lived in Dallas, you'd understand how much the weeks following our series sucked.

Did you read the whole thread or just the first post?

that list of bigs are all washed up besides maybe reggie evans.....hopefully if pryzbilla really stays in portland we can find a way to lure jamal magloire here without gettin rid of finley manu tony or tim

Horry is at his best playing 15 minutes a night, coming off the bench, and being around in the end in the fourth when you need a dagger three.

Expecting him to start a season and log significant minutes at the PF spot is ing stupid.


ing stupid?

It's our best available option if we dont have a big. If starting Horry is ing stupid, then starting Javkotas/Oberto is VERY ing stupid.



Go check out how many minutes Rob played the last 2-3 games of the Dallas series and get back to me.

Go and check how many minutes Oberto played. Who else do we have to start other than Horry? Oberto? Javkotas? Give me a break


I guess so. He played 34 minutes a game that year, and when it mattered against us in the post-season he was too gased to hit his shots or play effective defense on Duncan.

Hmm, so why do you suppose we brought him over? What do you suppose Pop/Tim meant when they claimed Horry came over because of how well he played against the Spurs...especially how well he played defense?

It can't be that he was a stiff against us.

You're advocating us running with Horry, and ending up with a ragged, tired 485 year old PF trying to chase Dirk and Howard come playoff time.

Not exactly my idea of a good off-season this summer.


Not my ideal choice, but it's better than the alternative.

First post, why is there more?

^^ or bruce

He only played 18mpg last year.

[Kori Ellis]

First post, why is there more?

Yeah there's at least triple the amount in the first post.

[Please_dont_ban_me]

Who would you rather see in the starting lineup...Oberto, Javkotas...or Horry?

[ChumpDumper]

Javtokas.

[Kori Ellis]

Javtokas but I think they'll be another big here to choose from.

[greens]

I think the truth of hte matter on Wallace is he did what a lot of other guys on the team right now would like to do with Flip in charge - get the out.

I still think it's because of the money...There are rumours of problems between Wallace and Flip, but nothing that is substantial...Plus there are a bunch of articles stating that Ben was not happy with the offer of the Pistons, period...nothing to do with the coach...He wanted a longer contract, more money, etc...If the Pistons gave him exactly what the Bulls had offered, then I think he would have stayed just fine...

Anyway, then again, who knows...

[furry_spurry]

He only played 18mpg last year.

18.8-- the most he has played as a Spur.

The first season he was here he played less than 16 minutes per game.

[waly.mg]

Bonner starts in Toronto as C

We can work now with TP-MG-BB-TD-Bonner

[timvp]

Javtokas but I think they'll be another big here to choose from.

Pop is kind of tall maybe he'll double duty and be the fifth big as well.

[Please_dont_ban_me]

I'm assuming there isn't a big. If we stay status quo, who would you rather have start.

You would throw Javkotas into the fire? Why not start with Horry and bring Javkotas along. If he plays out of his mind, stick him in the starting lineup. What does that hurt?

[Mr. Body]

To be honest I can't see any bigs left better than Javtokas. Only from an NBA experience level would a Lorenzon Wright start over him at this point in his career.

[furry_spurry]

It's gonna' be Oberto-- wait and see.

[Please_dont_ban_me]

It's gonna' be Oberto-- wait and see.

God help us all.

Ok, I look at three pages, still nothing worth starting. The one's worth going after you need to trade for, now that Nazr is gone who do we have worth trading. Barry? If we trade Barry for big, we deplete our backout. And his contract is so little that we would need to use most of our MLE.

Oh well.
