Well, I guess with a lineup that potent I could be patient and wait another year or so for Luis Scola!
A potential 2005-06 Spurs lineup:
How the following would be constructed:
- Re-sign Horry and DBrown using their Early Bird rights.
- Sign Abdur-Rahim using the MLE.
- Sign Kukoc for 1 year with a team option for a 2nd year for the minimum or the LLE.
Starters
1 Parker
2 Ginobili
3 Bowen
4 Duncan
5 Mohammed
Bench
1 Udrih
1/2 Barry
2 Brown
3 Kukoc
4 Horry
4 Abdur-Rahim
5 Nesterovic
IR
1 Wilks or other PG (AGarcia?)
3 LJohnson III or summerleague prospect
5 Massenburg or younger PF/C
This roster would be rather nasty for the rest of the league. The Spurs should be able to match up with anyone. No idiots in the group. Kukoc and Abdur-Rahim would give the Spurs some length in the frontcourt. Also, the Spurs would have some scoring punch off the bench. The Spurs would have 6 players off the bench as well as two bigs who have solid 3 point range. Virtually everyone can get out and run. They could keep Rasho around as trade bait.

Indeed. Next summer there will not be a buyout to worry about. Once Radosoft is moved then next season the Spurs will have some room for him. Horry's supposedly going to play only two more seasons so Scola will eventually have plenty of minutes.
MB, as usual you've made a strong case. Maybe you should take the position that Danny Ferry just vacated!
you have crystal balls?
i like this idea. sar could take some heavy mins off of horry in the regular season. he's only 28/29 so he'd still have good trade value if scola comes over next season. you're still weak at the 3 but kukoc and brown could cause all those matchup problems i've been hearing about without actually trading away a quality center for an old guy.
Yes, SAR turns 29 this December. He has a lot of basketball left. Getting him for the MLE would be a great deal for the Spurs. He and TD are roughly the same age.
Trade Rasho to Memphis for Shane Battier and Sign Scola and Oberto
C Nazr, Timmy, Oberto
PF Timmy, Horry, Scola, Oberto
SF Bruce, Battier, Brown
SG Manu, Barry, Brown
PG Tony, Beno, Barry
Just one question for ya: SCOLA????????????
also... if tim or horry went out for a period of time in the regular season, you'd still have a really good scoring threat at the 4.
Re-read the thread. Thank you.
if this could be done... god himself would be wearing the colors black and silver.
That would be a sweet lineup
As mentioned in the thread he would come next year, when there is no buy out.
The major problem with this scenario is that I don't believe that SAR's price will ultimately be the MLE.
Kukoc + Scola is much more feasible for next season.
Maybe. Personally, I believe we will see Scola before that, though.
?
Look at the 3rd post in this thread:
SAR would sign w/the Spurs for the MLE.
All right, already. I am having internet connection problems this morning and it took me awhile to read the whole thread. Sorry, ok? Can you let it go?
He's a 28 year old power forward with career averages of 19.8 points, 8.1 boards, and 1.07 steals per game and last season he shot 50.3% from the field, 38.5% on 3s, and 86.6% from the line.
Does the MLE seem right for that in the NBA?
MB, what do you have to say about the allegation that "you have crystal balls"?
Solid crystal.
this is too much of a headhache for me.
all the 'what if' s and "if we... then we could ....." and "we better ..... casue ......" but "they can't .... and ...... casue ....... so they'll have to ....."
UGH!! I can't wait for next season.
