Joel Przybilla to receive a huge free-agent offer from the San Antonio

[Sense]

Close, but Dallas spot-lighted the Spurs weakness. Lack of athleticism outside of Tony and Gino, and fresh, young legs.

True... but you know we shoulda won that..... and I don't want to bring any excuses up... but just to show you that we came back from that 3-1... just simple stupid mistakes that I'm sure we won't do again.

Add better players and bam.

We need to just realize the fact that there just are not any centers available that will be any kind of real upgrade over Nazr. Just a lot of centers who would be more expensive. I say try to sign Nazr to the lowest possible contact that he'll accept, bring Javtokas over and see what comes available during the season. You don't want to put all of your eggs in this unstable basket that is Joel P. Besides, with a spark plug like Javtokas alongside him instead of the walking stiff that is Rasho - Nazr just might get a little fire going.

thong who is a blazer fan is also saying he will be ticked if spurs get him
thong has seen him more then anyone of us I believe

Classic.

[Leetonidas]

Thong?

[AMOS7]

I doubt we get Jeffries.

Trading for JR Smith, getting Joel, and Speedy, are top priorities this off-season. If at all possible.

Eric Williams > Jeffries... at this point in time.

You´ve got to be kidding. Williams is gonna be 34 and got all of 12.6 minutes per game last year in 28 games. Dude isnt worth . Jared is only 24 and is beginning to develop into a very versitile player who could guard 3 positions, since he is 6ft 11. I dont think we get Jared but to say Williams is better than him at this point is ridiculous. Williams hasnt played meaningful minutes in 2 years. Jared was starting for an up and coming team and played very well in the playoffs this year, while having to guard Lebron.

If the Spurs sign Pryzbilla, I would be cool with it. It doesn't solve the Nowitzki problem. But he and Javotkas would be a great tag team at the five. We would matchup great with Houston.

Maybe TD will put the onus on himself to guard Dirk. I guess I just don't like the idea of TD playing the perimeter and possibly drawing fouls for ticky tac crap. The Spurs will probably have to go through Dallas in the playoffs the next couple of seasons.

Imo, you have to find someone that can guard Dirk and take care of the defensive glass. Preferably, he will also be big enough to give Amare some problems. I don't expect Amare to be the 2005 Amare. But I have a feeling he's going to go for broke when 06-07 starts. Amare will make Phoenix tough.

If it has to be a two year plan, I am willing to wait. Though, I sure hope the FO addresses all the critical matchup problems this summer.

I still think the Spurs could move Barry to NO for a resigned Claxton (~3 million) and JRSmith (~1.04)+Filler, but NO also has a lot of cap space to attract a player like Przybilla, and both Marc Jackson and PJ Brown are on last years of contracts, and they did draft big.

[rascal]

Couldn't the spurs do a sign and trade of Muhammed and cap filler for Dalembert? How does trading a sign a trade player work? I tried some trade scenarios using realgm to get Dalembert but I wanted to add Nazr but it doesn't allow it. Anyways adding Nazr with another player could get Dalembert.

Dalembert is better than Joel Pryzbilla. A better offensive game and a bigger interior presence. A better fit to what Robinson gave the spurs.

[ChumpDumper]

I'd rather have Steven Hunter -- he beat Dalembert out after all -- and at 1/4 the cost.

[Mark in Austin]

In two years, Dalembert's contract will look worse than Tariq Abdul-wahad's. No way the Spurs dump Rasho only to pick up a guy with a bigger contract and less interest in improving himself as an NBA player.

[T Park]

Dalembert sucks total ass.

Like chump said, Hunter beat the mfer out for the starting spot and makes way less.

[Obstructed_View]

Dalembert's contract already looks like a mistake of Chrisdudlian proportions.

[ducks]

same agent as rasho
HUMMM...

[clubalien]

agents cannot promise players will sign that would be againts NBA rules.
also other teams can pay him more. so unless actual perfers san antonio i cannot see how we can get him.

But that is who i would target over all the other options like nazr,pj brown, wilox

I said it before but if bulls can pay atleats 6 mill
we can only pay MLE 5.5
plus we already gave javtokas a contract for three years that cannot be a LLE since it is only 2 years
so we don't even have the full MLE

[Taking it to the Hole]

I'm sorry, the resemblance to Rasho is freaking me out right now. I say we should steer clear of Pryzbilla. Way clear..

[Mr. Body]

It's what's in his head that's different, tH. By accounts Przybilla is a much more aggressive player.

[clubalien]

don't playa hate because the homeboy be white, yo!

[Taking it to the Hole]

It's what's in his head that's different, tH. By accounts Przybilla is a much more aggressive player.

It's just that he doesn't strike me as too athletic. That worries me alot. I know he is a shot blocker, but all the times I saw him play against the Spurs, he looked flat-footed, has poor lateral movement like Rasho, and just generally didn't show that much to me. I mean for the talent he has, I don't think spending our full MLE is worth it, that's even if we have a full MLE to work with, which we may not. It just sounds too risky for us to sign him to a long-term contract right now, when we are trying to maintain our cap flexibility for future years.

Those moves, along with the dumping of Rasho's salary and getting Bonner and Williams in return, would make for an outstanding offseaon

[ducks]

Pritchard was from the spurs org
I think a sign and trade could happen here if joel says he is leaving

[ducks]

same agent as rasho
this has a sign and trade written all over it
also saves the mle for someone else

[furry_spurry]

Having the same agent as Rasho is not a good thing after the way things ended for Rasho in SA-- after he gave up $10M to come here.

[ducks]

from the articles it seems rasho is happy
he wanted to play and got what he wanted
