    Yeah I have to agree I don't like this move, if it indeed happens.

    I think hestoo soft around the rim, his low post game is mediocre, while as its been said he got alot of points, he took alot of shots to get it.

    I'd personally much rather have Antonio McDyess.

    I already did. He would be the highest paid big with the most experience and a championship ring on the Spurs outside of Duncan.
    I don't see how any of that changes the fact he was a bench player in Boston. He has 15 minutes of Finals experience. Garbage minutes in game 6.

    I never claimed that I was speaking in facts, but you made an stupid generic comment about predicting the future when everyone that writes an opinion the Spurs does so.
    Not everyone. You started predicting things because they suited your argument about the RJ trade.

    Taco Cabana employees all over San Antonio rejoice. Overtime.

    With Blair and Big Baby Spurs will have a uva flag footbal team.




    Good to know not everyone is freaking out. That is the funniest post I have ever seen on ST. I can't stop laughing. The spurs will be fine. Get pumped it's going to be a great season. I just can't stop laughing.

    If true, Pop and TD are tired of having shrinking violets playing in the frontcourt.

    Boston won a le with this guy getting significant minutes in the frontcourt, despite his Bonner-like rebounding and shotblocking stats....

    DPG21920 vs Shastafarian - take your argument out of this thread, it's making it difficult to read.

    Thanks.
    It is all Glen Davis related, but I will not respond to him anymore.

    "are said to be" is about as good as it gets right now. No one is at Pop/RC's house knowing what they are doing (Oh Pop is probably on his way to France anyway).

    I have no reason to believe the Boston reporters, but they have no reason to be making stuff up at this point either. The Spurs will probably look at Big Baby, just like they are looking at Bass. Hopefully they won't throw the whole MLE at either of them.

    But hey, Spurs fans have been begging for the team to get young... so you all can't cry if they get Big Baby over Sheed/Dice.
    "Are said to be" is as close as we get right now - my point is that it's meaningless. You are in the media game, you know this as well as I do.

    Sure the Boston reporters have a reason to report heresay - hits on their website. The are currently getting 100s-1000s of unique hits from San Antonians who otherwise have no reason to go to the Globe website, and it costs them nothing to be proven wrong because all they've reported is "are said to be" (i.e. vague rumours).

    The Spurs FO has made two fantastic moves this off-season in RJ and Blair, and I see no reason why they'd crap out with the MLE. They know what the team needs, and I won't believe they made this bad a decision until we get decent, reliable confirmation of it.

    People are loving the , woe is us stuff though, so at least it's boosting your hit count too!

    I didn't say it was confirmation but I did think it was another source. The last part about going back to media 101 was a bit out of left field, perhaps I shouldn't have read it the way I did. Either way those are the rumblings and Big Baby could be on his way to SPurs town
    My point is that it isn't another source, not a reliable one anyway. Someone in the Boston Globe's office read Tanq's Tweet and turned it into "are said to be", otherwise they'd be citing their source with far more certainty like "a member of the Celtics'/Spurs' organisation".

    Spurs are looking for role players now. If they can't get the points they need from the Big Four then they are screwed from the start.

    Big Baby hits about 37% of his jumpers ... so not too great.

    If the Spurs are really going after Big Baby and Bass, the thinking must be to put a mobile four next to Duncan and let Duncan play more even more of a center role.

    I concur, but I think this could be a crafty move, especially if they find a decent starting bigman via trade or via Spain.

    Davis pretty much carried Boston in the playoffs after KG went down. He is coming as much into his own as Ariza and everyone thought he was a pretty good signing. davis and Blair may not be tall, but the two of them on the floor together would lay a hurt on ya. I think this is a great pick up if it happens. With a muscular Mahinmi and Haislip we would have a return to the days of the bruise brothers. Oh, I know everyone wanted the over the hill ex Pistons. I think the Spurs fron office know that they need youth to stay healthy. Davis may be the best bang for the buck in this regard.
    Thats what I'm talking about. GO SPURS GO!!!!!

    if Spurs sign Baby i hope he isn't "the big" signing of the off-season . i would prefer McDyess, Pachullia, or Bird Man over Big Baby. i don't think Baby is starting material, although he did play well in the playoffs .

    if Spurs are able to get him and Rasho i think that's okay. Spurs do need a 7-footer though. guys lie Blair, Big Baby, Haislap, Bonner are too short.

    Do you agree with this strategy if true?

    FYI he didn't play in the Finals until Game 6. The game Boston won by 39 points. I'll go back and check his minutes throughout the playoffs now. Might take a while.

    Media Awareness classes should be compulsory for all children from grade 4-12. The media is so good at trotting out heresay, half-truths, and misleading garbage as "FACT!", and people really need to get better at seeing through it in order for democracy to fun ction properly.

    Well most of it....

    Do you see what The Baby is doing to this family? It is tearing us apart.

    At least I did not say "your an idiot."

    I just don't get why you don't think Tanq could be a reliable source for anything but any other beat reporter or writer could be.

    He obviously knows people in the Celtics organization or he wouldn't have broken the news about Rasheed signing.

    Anyway, it doesn't matter and I don't care if the Spurs get Big Baby or not; I just think it's hilarious that you are so against him being possibly right.
