ESPN.com: Spurs talking S&T with Portland, Rasho for Abdur-Rahim

[ace3g]

SCOLA WOULD NOT BE A NUMBER ON DRAFT PICK THIS YEAR

ugh.... did you read the article on espn.com right before the draft by one of the top column writers on ESPN talking about if scola were in the draft this year he would have gone number 1

[spurjur]

There is a reason why the Spurs have won three championships since '99. Its called management. A business is successful because of management. The Spurs' big whigs know what they are doing. They knew what they were doing when they drafted Parker. They knew what they were doing when they drafted Manu. They knew what they were doing when they drafted Scola. They knew what they were doing when they traded Barbosa. I trust that Pop, RC, and the scouts know what they are talking about when they say he is the best PF in Europe. Its their job to know what they are talking about. Have any of you drafted or signed any players that have helped the Spurs win a championship? Uh...no. So let's quit saying that Scola isn't anything.

[Marcus Bryant]

No, but you claimed he was a proven player.

He doesn't play defense, he's a scorer.

Ha. If Glenn Robinson can come to the Spurs and suddenly learn how to play D, I'm sure SAR can too.

He has bad knees and has never been on a team above .500.

The Spurs have signed players from below .500 teams. I guess those were bad signings too.

If he were the guy getting 5 minutes a game, then he's excused.

Bu5 he's geting 35 minutes plus and still can't get a team to play above .500

WTF man? TD is the franchise here. The Spurs are looking for a backup big. Duh.

[BadlyDrawnBoy]

That's right, you're just a retail development (and NSYNC) groupie




When? Other than having an avatar with the face of Mark Bryant when have I?

WTF? Are you really this stupid?

The funny thing, you're much gayier than Nsync.

Much.

And yes, at the very begining you told people you were black, so quit acting like you didn't face,

[timvp]

Again, being the "Best Power Forward In Europe" doesn't really mean much. Do you know who is the second best power forward in Europe? Me neither. Probably some NBA reject like Maceo Baston or Mario Austin or someone like that. Guards and small forwards can make the transition to the NBA as long as they have the speed. Centers can make the transition as long as they're strong enough. Power forward is a whole new level in the NBA. They are a whole lot bigger and stronger than you'll find in Europe.

And if the Spurs decide to trade Scola, I'll trust that they are right. They've been scouting him since he was 18. Manu has known him forever. If they don't think he fits on this team, chances are they're right.

And with all the hoopla surrounding Scola right now, I'm sure you can get a young stud player and a pick for him.

A backup? SAR would want to start. Putting Duncan at 5.

SAR is either starting here or he's off to NJ.

[Karl Mundt]

SAR is a great player, definitely much better than Rasho, and the Spurs would probably keep Scola in Europe or trade his rights unless they plan on playing SAR mostly behind Bruce so there would be another roster spot for a back-up center, someone who'd play for the minimum, like Massenburg. With Nazr, Tim getting most of the minutes at center, that player would probably only get used in case of injuries.

But what happens if Nazr doesn't resign next year? As i've stated somewhere before, it's not unlikely for Nazr to get a contract offer somewhere that's too big for the Spurs to match and he ends up walking. Over the cap, the Spurs would have to trade to get a starting quality center, not an easy off-season task.

SAR wouldn't start. Perhaps that's not what you are getting.

[Marcus Bryant]

Much.

Your "Gaydar" is off. I'm not going to sleep with you.

And yes, at the very begining you told people you were black, so quit acting like you didn't face,

Nope. Never. " face"? My my, someone's getting testy.

[BadlyDrawnBoy]

Man, right now, I really wish we had signed Kidd in '03!

Signed,

Dumbass of 2003 who continue to post now.

[wildbill2u]

Backup big men sure will clog up the bench if we get SAR, Horry, Scola. I just don't see that many good players backing up NASR and TD.

And this still doesn't address the void at SF backup for Bowen and eventual change of starter there.

[ducks]

Spurs Can Rape Someone In Trading Scola Before He Steps On The Court Because He Has Played With Manu

[Marcus Bryant]

Yikes, now he's my groupie. That's scary.

[BadlyDrawnBoy]

SAR wouldn't start. Perhaps that's not what you are getting.

He wouldn't? He'd want to come off the bench and play behind Duncan and Horry?

[Marcus Bryant]

A backup? SAR would want to start. Putting Duncan at 5.

SAR is either starting here or he's off to NJ.

Again, it's rather clear to SAR that he would not be starting in SA.

Come on, eventually you'll get it.

[BadlyDrawnBoy]

This message is hidden because Marcus Bryant is on your ignore list.

Damn... fake black guy got blocked.

[ducks]

Sar Wants To Come To Sa He Knows They Have Talent He Wants To Win
Not Go Somewhere And Loss

[Marcus Bryant]

What an odd little .

[ace3g]

to back up TD and NAZR the spurs should go after Oberto for the vet minimum and for a back up SF the spurs should go after Nocioni either now or when he is a FA in 07, maybe use SAR as trade bait

[BadlyDrawnBoy]

So would that be why he said he'd like to play in NJ with Kidd?

It's Portland trying t make this trade, not SAR and his agent.

[timvp]

He wouldn't? He'd want to come off the bench and play behind Duncan and Horry?

Does Horry play in the regular season? Not really. The Spurs will have about 36 minutes to burn at the big positions. If Horry eats 12 of those during the regular season, that gives SAR 24 minutes of playing time.

SAR says he wants to come here to win -- not to start.

When a player will All-Star level talent wants to join your team, you don't turn them down. Especially when there is no reason to. Everyone knows the Spurs are about winning. If SAR comes, he can expect to get the Brent Barry treatment.

[ducks]

He Is Using Kidd And The Nets As Leverage

[Marcus Bryant]

Actually, I believe he said that he wanted to get into some retail development in the Tri-State area. Perhaps launch some branded NSYNC movie theaters. He's a lock for the Nets.

[BadlyDrawnBoy]

I'd love Nocioni on this team.

Trade Rasho for Nocioni and filler.

With Curry probably gone, they need a center.

Manu, Scola, and Nocioni.

Man, that'd be nice.

Are you SAR? Are you his agent?
