2.5 sounds fair to me...
at the reaction to Big Baby being like something out of a Godzilla flick.
2.5 sounds fair to me...
How much is too much for Boston to match?
With signing Rasheed and probably Hill, I don't think they're going to match what we're going to offer...just my opinion.
The question is why would you want him at all? If the Spurs offered him 3.5 and he agreed (not likely) the Celtics would most likely match the offer quickly.
The fact of the matter is Glen Davis offers the Spurs NOTHING. Nothing at all really.
I would GLADLY take Blair over Davis. Davis really would be a waste of MLE.
I'm still surprised at the over-rating of Big Baby here. People going so far as to make things up like him being some kind of big part of the Celtics 08 le team and people saying absurd things like he 'carried' the Cs this past playoffs against the Magic, and imply that he singlehandedly took Orlando seven games (even though he averaged 13.5 and 4.5 and on a team with Rondo, Pierce and Perkins he wasn't carrying jack ).
If the Spurs want to give him a Malik-esque MLE deal, then they can enjoy their Malik-esque deadweight on the salary cap/luxury tax.
?? That's just ridiculous...you're just drinking the "OH NO, NOT BIG BABY" Kool-Aid. Blair is an unproven PF with no ACLs in his knees...Big Baby is a clutch shooter who has proven he can play in the NBA. Besides...we are going to have Blair also...we drafted him, he's not a free agent.
I'm more surprised at the under-rating of Big Baby..people like you who are acting like signing him is the equivalent of a natural disaster...he's not worse than Bonner or Fabri or KT...the bottom line is, he's a positive.
wow, not worse than Bonner or Fabri or KT.
That's a recipe for losing in the playoffs.
There's no under-rating of Big Baby. I'm acting like signing him to a near or full MLE deal isn't a good fit for the Spurs and their needs. Your 'natural disaster' swipe is quite humourous. I could just as easily say that people like you are orgasming over a fat no-rebounding slug. But I like to keep to the facts.
Funny you won't even acknoweledge the over-rating going around.
Wow...you're as bad as KBP...saying people "like me" are orgasming over Big Baby...you must not have read any of my posts...pay attention, dude. I said I preferred Sheed, but the front office knows what they're doing, and we, as fans, need to calm down...they know more than we do. If they sign David, I'm going to cheer him...because he's a Spur...period...wow, not worse than Bonner or Fabri or KT.

It would be as close to a disaster as a team could do with their MLE.
What does Davis bring the Spurs for 5.5 million? He is a terrible rebounder and weak defender. He offers ZERO shot blocking.
He doesn't compliment Duncan at all.
The current Spurs (Mahinmi, Blair) compliment Duncan. Davis, hah, not at all.
None of us will know how he compliments Duncan until he's on the team...Duncan makes other people better...as does Parker and Ginobili..if he signs here, and becomes a Spur, we will cheer him...unless you're not a fan.
so now I'm as bad as KBP? LOL
1st, no if they sign him I'm going to cheer for him and hope for the best. What is this crap? You think I'd not root for my team because they made a move I disagreed with? I rooted for them through Rasho and Elson and Finley's re-up. And loads of other moves (Carl Herrera, Charles Smith the first). So give up your implied accusation that people who don't like Big Baby aren't real Spurs fans or whatever it is you're trying to get across.
And wow, I said 'people like you' . . . just as you directed a 'people like you' at me ! How terrible of me to write about you as you wrote about me.
What is this nonsense about the front office knows what they're doing so fans should calm down? Calm down? I don't see anyone rioting or picketing outside the AT&T box office. It's just people on a message board discussing whether they think the potential of getting Davis on an undetermined contract (though thought to be large enough to get Boston not to match) is a good idea or not. And some think it's a terrible idea and post why.
But about the FO knowing what they're doing . . . they're not perfect. Just ask Luis Scola.
When we are wanting size up front, why would we be going after a undersized fatass. Nothing personal but the guy is 6-9... And according to some stats over 36 minutes his stats suck. I had thought with the addition of RJ ot the team, SA would be an appealing place to play and bring in some more talent...
Not to say my opnion counts but i wouldnt want baby davis as a stater on my team. I'd rather just try to resign Gooden..
Just resign Drew Gooden. I'm getting reflux. I just don't see how a fatass nonrebounding big would fit in.
please God no
no
please God no
Davis played really well in the playoffs. He's young, so he's got that going for him, but I'd rather have Dice. Unfortunately, if McDyess is going to contemplate his decision for awhile, the Spurs may have to move on something else.
For some reason I feel like we'll end up trading for a big.
I don't know what to think. He's not a bad option but it seems we already have him on the team in Blair (minus the mid range jumper and playoff experience).
Too much of a knee jerk reaction to sign him just because they lost out on Wallace. Makes you wonder if he wasn't the top target all along.
Clutch?? He hit one ing lucky shot, and now hes considered clutch?
I agree with the posters that argue that Davis doesn't fill our need. We need a garbage man down low; not another offensive minded player necessarily. In this vein, I think the Spurs should look at the other Celtic PF, Leon Powe. Powe is a guy I see in the same light as the Rocket's Chuck Hayes.
True, he is recovering from knee surgery, but all indication is that he should be ready to go by the beginning of the season. Powe's rebounding and defense are superior to those of Davis, and it is unlikely that the C's will be able to match offers.
Don't bring your kids to courtside if he signs.
I smell BS i just don't see the spurs signing Big Baby especially using the full MLE on him that's ridiculous, The spurs can do way better like Odom,Varejao,McDysse, or trade for Camby?
he actually hit two in that game 4. one around 30 seconds left to give the celtics the lead and another one at the buzzer as the game winner. on the road too. say what you want about his defense and rebounding but his playoff performance was not a fluke. the celtics needed someone to replace garnett's offense and davis stepped up. the celtics were doomed from the start without KG but davis was a warrior in the playoffs.Clutch?? He hit one ing lucky shot, and now hes considered clutch?
Exactly. Lest we forget how this forum has reacted to playoff chokers in postseasons past. But at least the Spurs won the PER championship...
Right, or perhaps McDyess has already told them absolutely no.but I'd rather have Dice. Unfortunately, if McDyess is going to contemplate his decision for awhile, the Spurs may have to move on something else.
A distinct possibility.For some reason I feel like we'll end up trading for a big.
ccccaaaaaammmmmmmmmbbbbbbbyyyyyyy. Go get em.
