easy there, his percentage looks good cause for the first two months of the season he was hitting everything he threw up, but once the ball was changed he went into a funk that lasted the rest of the year, as finley started finding his groove brent stopped shooting as much and it made him in with a nice 3 pointer percentage, but overall he's worthless, just look at his playoff numbers, he couldn't hit , even in that game 2 when we were killing the cavs, brent came in, started jacking up wide the open 3 pointers and he missed them all..................... so brent is worthless
No he didn't...he beat Finley out of the main back up position for the rest of the year until losing his spot to a back injury in the final few games of the season.
Brent lead the team in every shooting PCT category and was #1 in the entire NBA in true shooting PCT.
Actually it's a shrewd move. You put Bowen on _irk and Udoka on Howard. That locks down the Unicorns' offense.
When then Spurs are on the attack, you can put those two guys on opposite corners and open the floor for TD/Tpark/Manu.
Not a bad idea. Plus, after BB hangs them up, you've got his replacement with room to slide someone else in at the long SF.
I thought you hated small ball. Doesn't Parker/Ginobili/Udoka/Bowen/Duncan qualify?
Yes it does, but Pop is stuck on it, may as well get the pieces to make it work against the Mavs.....
I think he probably ment with Manu off the floor. But it still gives us the option of playing 4-1 guard centre combo if a team like the Mavs go small. It gives us so many moee options and flexibility.
I looked at his matchups with some of the leagues best scorers last season - not exactly promising nearly all had better games than their averages. Ill give him the benefit of the doubt since the Blazers werent the def team last season.
Kobe hung 65 on his head once lol
Yeah, but you're talking about the Jailblazers pissing into the wind as a team.
A little bit different than the team defensive philosophy of the Spurs.
This rumor still is nowhere but this one blog-- maybe his agent is just trying to drive up his price.
All I could find was that his agent claimed 4 days ago that some Western Conference team offered him 3 years and $12M- but Pritchard didn't seem to be buying it. Wouldn't he have signed that deal by now if it was legit.
I'm not a huge fan of Flight White...
But isn't that the type of reasoning that prompted the Spurs to cut Raja Bell?
R.C. Buford (yeah, him again) chose Derrick Dial over Raja Bell for the last roster spot only because Dial had been a second round pick of his?
In the clutch
(first couple of minutes only)
Nice assist
Nice pickup if it happens. The Spurs still have the all the core members who contributed in the post season. Even if Barry and Beno get shipped out the main core is still there.
They don't have to cut Williams- they can just not sign him like they do all their second round picks.
@ NBA.com
That is Jarrett Jack to LaMarcus Aldridge. Only way Udoka gets credit for an assist on that play is if they were going by hockey rules.
I hope this happens but it's odd that we've heard about it only on this dude's blog...
I'm starting to wonder about the validity of the blog post. It has now been edited and has no mention of the $9M figure. That could be a bad sign.
Perhaps they are still in negotiations and the agent asked for that number to be removed but if a deal were imminent, something else would have hit the wires by now. Hopefully it'll be official soon.
If The Trade is followed by The Hoax, that would be cruel for Spurs fans.
old as dirt. a marginal player. same old bs.
He's only 29 right now.
Am I the only one who'd like to see this as a starting lineup:
Oberto
Duncan
Bowen
Udoka
Parker
Start off with your best defensive team when the opposing team has their best scorers on the court. Then when you've disheartened the opponent and bloodied his nose (fondly remembering Steve Nash when I wrote that
I also don't think there's a huge dropoff, if any at this point, in offense production potential in going from Finley to Udoka.
Would there be any question about my proposed starting lineup if I subs uted the name Ime Udoka with Raja Bell?
If people thought the Spurs were thugs with Bruce and Horry, the Spurs would be on America's Most Wanted if they had Raja Bell.
and I bet my banishment that deal it won't even happen...
True. But nothing in my mind can top The Passes followed by The Cruel Joke.
(passing on Josh Howard and the rookie contract extension on Speedy; JKidd, O'Neal or Brand turning into Rasho and Hedo)
can't fault the Spurs for those. Hedo and Rasho were the next best available after those guys.JKidd, O'Neal or Brand turning into Rasho and Hedo)
Not giving an extension to Claxton was prob in hindsight a good idea.
BTW, this will prob be all BS, and end up not happening.
Would continue to be a typical cheap ass Spurs summer.
What happened to Pietrus?????????????????
Last I heard, Pietrus ws in negotiations with Miami - but it seems like every FA is in supposed negotiations with Miami. With the available cap room and PT resulting from Jason Richardson's departure, I wouldn't be surprised if he remained with GS.
Back to Udoka, I'm wondering when or if this deal will be finalized?
