Maggette was a longshot for which the Spurs needed multiple events to occur for them to have a chance. Azuikikiiieieie and Delfino are RFAs (Spurs could conceivably pull off a S&T for Delfino.) Barnes isn't much of a hot property either and who knows? Maybe they could still land him. This is the first day free agents can sign, no?
Spurs had to replenish the supporting cast at some point. Offering limited $ their free agent pool isn't that big. At least now they won't be saddled with big long term deals for their supporting cast.Atheletic? Yes. But let's hope that Ian/Hill can provide something else besides atheleticism, I'm confident/hopeful that Ian can and I'm optimistic that Hill can but we'll have to wait and see. Hopefully GIst and Hairston impress Spurs during camp/summer league/whatever.
So we're basically the same with a younger version of Finley and hoping that the draft picks and Ian pan out. Same as last year, but we were an injured Manu away from the finals so I guess you can't say it's that bad.
He's a 2-guard that played PG for the Wizards when Arenas went down.Ok, forgive me because I didn't want to plow through 11 pages while manning the front desk here at work.
This guy is a PG who can also play the 2? Is the consensus here that he will primarily play SG?
Thank you, drive through.
Pietrus hasn't played a whole season? What?
The fact that he can play some point is encouraging as well. If for some reason Hill doesnt pan out it will be nice to have a guy who can keep Vaughn off the floor.
I you re ed?
You don't always have to have impact players to get an impact player at the deadline. You need a combination of youthful potential, short term contracts that can be added to match salaries, and/ or solid players that can fill in a teams needs.
You're talking about a guy in Pietrus who argued that he deserved the max after averaging 11 and 5 in 2006-2007. He's a ing idiot.
Plenty have seen him play long enough to know he's got a bag of rocks rumbling around inside his head.
So you're saying Pietrus = Elson?
Spurs fans have not seen Pietrus play a whole season, unless if your a spurs fan who actively watched every GS game 2-3 seasons ago, so nobody here knows how he plays exactly or if he is dumb. Timvp said he was dumb then everybody else agreed. Everybody was happy that we signed elson, but it took us a season of watching him with the spurs to figure out if he was dumb or not, Spurs don't know if Pietrus is dumb or not, so HTF can Spur fans who haven't seen Pietrus play know he is dumb?
Is this seriously coming from an Aggie!Doesn't ITTTech offer a Master's?
LMAO at how quickly DumbassPosterGeek has gone from "I really feel like this guy is better than Mason" to "I have League Pass, therefore I know more" to "I have a Master's degree, I is smart."
I said watch the games, which I do because I have League Pass. If you watched the Wizards you can see that he was not even a top 3 defender on that team, those honors would go to: Stevenson, Butler and Haywood
About my masters degree comment, that was in response to calling me re ed. Being a "mental-midget" is acting like you are superior or being an elitist prick because someone has a different opinion of you. The same group of people (T-Park, Aggiefan and Manny) always act like assholes to everyone.
Yes I have a masters degree, yes I am smart and for you to infer that I am "re ed" or that "our educational system sucks" because of my comments about Roger Mason is extremely short-sighted, narrow-minded and disrespectful...
I understand the logic, but I think looking at the roster you will see the $5M+ from the MLE gave the Spurs a much better chance at getting an impact player than any combination of youthful potential, short-term contracts, and veterans.
Keep in mind, the Spurs will likely have to use their players with youthful potential and short-term contract.
You really don't need to watch 82 games every season to understand how a player is.
Really, you don't.
Oh boy, no brent for 08-09
Draft picks offer the potential for an "impact" player too, no?
Maybe or maybe not? who knows if he is dumb or not. I'll I'm saying is that I thought Pietrus fit the bill of what the Spurs needed more than Mason. It's a shame spurs couldn't come to a better agreement, but if I had to I would experiment with Pietrus at the full MLE.
Yeah he probably is a moron, but we don't know for sure that he is exactly a moron on the court as everybody says. I haven't seen Warrior fans or people who have consistently watched the warriors play voice the same opnions.
I you re ed?
Okay the 3 games fans watched the Spurs play against the Warriors are not a good indicator.
You don't need a master's degree to understand that he isn't being brought to SA to be a Bowen replacement, he's being brought here to score points, which if his time as a starter in Washington is any indication (17 PPG), he does very well.
Stick that in your diploma and smoke it.
That's seriously going in someone's sig. Maybe under someone's handle. , that's getting printed on some t-shirts.
and he may be able to play off of Manu for a big backcourt look. A plus is, if he's starting he can help alleviate some of the pressure on tony; something the spurs had trouble with with finley back there.
Its not just the full MLE
ITS THE FULL MLE FOR FIVE ING YEARS!
I don't think you understand what that means.
Yes, it was supposed to be funny...some jokes obviously miss the mark, I am not a comedian...
He fills the "Barry" role pretty well....except that his outside shot is not nearly as reliable, and that's what scares me.
For a guy who really plays the SG position to have one decent year of shooting in four, I wonder how much the Spurs can count on him to knock down shots consistently.
He should play decent defense, but that wasn't necessarily the Spurs' issue last year.
I wish the Spurs had gotten a more reliable shooter, but we'll see if he can continue building on his improved stroke from last season.
oh wow, im glad we acted fast.
wtf do we care? I have two graduate degrees and it means nothing for my basketball a en. Completely unimportant. The only reason to talk about such things is to scratch your asshole itch.
I'm sorry, wait. You have a masters degree... What I mean to say is, "it's a real privelage to have you on the board. You're brighter than all of us. Do you mind if we chime in once in awhile or would you rather we just find a place near your feet and listen?"
