What happened to Beno? Did you trade him?
What do you people think about the backup PG position? Will the Spurs re-sign M. Wilks? Will they look somewhere else? Who would you like the Spurs to bring in? Here are a couple of names. Nick Van Exel
Earl Watson
What happened to Beno? Did you trade him?
The Spurs need two backup points, so if either is playing bad, the other can come in.
Earl Watson would be a great backup.
Beno is a good enough back up point guard, and then after that we can play either Brent, or Manu at the point, we dont need another point guard, we need a small foward. Gerald Wallace is my number one choice how about yours?
Ha ha ha ha man i cant stop laughing at your avatar, ha ha ha ha ha ha the Landscaper from Dave Chapelle haha ha ha
I don't think Pop has the patients to wait for Beno to develop. We all saw how Beno cracked under pressure. He did hit some shots from the outisde, however, I believe the Spurs would love to bring in someone with more experience to backup TP.
I could see NVE sign a min deal to play with one of the texas teams
Watson would be nice but no way you guys can get him without s ing out a chuck of the MLE. Im torn between him and swift as the rockets FA target
I don't think that's an avatar.
For the love of God please stop trading Beno. Thanks.
We have heard of how Nick the "Quick" is at the point of wanting to retire. Why? Because he hasn't won a ring. I honestly think he would sign with SA for the minimum. He would add a veteran presence and can shoot the ball with accuracy. Would Nick fit the "Spurs Type" of player thing though? Earl Watson is a wishful thinking type of thing. He will probably get a higher offer from some other team.
look as i've stated before, what other player cracked his rookie year in the playoffs??? Tony Parker, and we all know how that story is still rolling, Tony cracked up his rookie year and had to be replaced by Speedy Claxton and Steve Kerr in the Western Conference finals against the Mavs. Beno cracked under pressure in the Finals and now you want to trade him??? that is ridiculous
The championship window is now..not in 4 years when Beno is good enough to handle playoff pressure
If the chance to add a NVE or Watson (for the right price) comes along..you do it and thank the basketball gods for your good fortune.
Beno should not be traded I like him a lot he has a very nice shot, if he can improve his quickness he will be formitable for years to come, I bet the heat wish they had him, also, how many of the spurs players didnt crack with that great pistons D, NVE would be nice also, I believe the backup should be a good shooter an im not sure if Watson is
The Spurs already have a project in the PG position. His name is Tony Parker. Spurs fans have seen how Pop jumps all over Tony when he screws up. Tony Parker is only 23 years old. He has a lot to learn and that is a good thing because the Spurs will have him here for a while. The Spurs don't need another project like Beno. The Spurs need a veteran PG to come in for Tony when he is screwing up or when Tony is hurt. Hopefully, the being hurt thing won't happen. Did any of you notice that Pop went with the lineup of Manu, Barry, Bowen, Duncan, and Horry during the Finals? Why was that? Number one: Tony was getting a break. Number Two: Pop did not have trust in Beno to be the backup. Beno is a solid PG, but the Spurs would love to add a proven PG to come in and hold the fort while Tony is on the bench. Its that simple. Nothing against Beno. Its just that the Spurs need a proven PG.
1) Beno Udrih is still on the team
2) Earl Watson is going to get a $40M contract
Beno was a low-1st round rookie PG in the finals against the hardest D besides the spurs O, also no other team in the playoffs rattled Beno like that its pistons D and finals pressure, hes been thru it now he's good to go, and yes they do need a vet PG but Beno should stay, also yes Parker is still a project but is going in the right direction
To TIMVP:
#1. I hope you're kidding about Earl Watson getting $40 million
#2. If you're not, how many years will the $40 million be worth?
#3. Thank God you're not the Spurs GM
So you still need a backup point
Grizz need a center. Offer em Rasho and Beno for Watson and one of posey/Battier, sign Scola and call it an offseason.
Speedy Is Making 3.6 Million
People This Year And It Is The Last Year Of His Contract
Beno shouldnt be traded ive personally seen Watson play live and he doesnt fit the spurs scheme and im not impressed, also Posey might be cut so wait it out and sign him ive always liked him a poormans Bowen with more hustle and a better drive to the basket
He should get close to the full mid level..40M is about right#1. I hope you're kidding about Earl Watson getting $40 million
WTF? He is a perfect spur player..He knows and stays in his role, can hit the three and is a top 5 defender for his position. In other words, a perfect backup point guard
Yeah, Watson will get paid this summer.
Beno is not good enough yet to be traded. I don't think his athleticism will be good enough to be a solid backup point guard in this league. He can only play off the ball.
I am not saying that the Spurs will sign Earl Watson. It was a name of a free agent I threw out there as a possibility. That's all. However, my point is this. The Spurs need a proven backup PG. Why? Tony is bound to make mistakes and may get hurt. Do want Beno to come in or a proven PG? We have seen it twice. Parker at times disappeared during the playoffs and Finals. Right? No big deal. Pop the smart guy that he is brought in Manu and Barry to serve as the PG and left Beno on the bench. Why is that folks? He doesn't want the ball to be turned over and doesn't want a good team to eat up his PG. We saw what a veteran PG can do when Speedy Claxton came in for Parker in the '03 Finals. We saw what Barry and Manu did when they came in for Parker this year. That's my point. I seriously doubt that Pop wants to deal with another project in Beno when it comes to the playoffs. That's what its all about. The playoffs. Beno did a fine job in the regular season and all that, but the playoffs and Finals are what count. I'm not saying that the Spurs have to trade Beno, but I think the Spurs will look for a backup PG who is more proven to be Tony's main backup. They can let Mike Wilks go and stay with Beno and sign a veteran PG. Or they can stick with Mike Wilks as the third PG and trade Beno for a proven veterean PG. Not saying that Wilks is better than Beno, its just that Wilks is a smarter choice money wise. Wilks is only due $700,000 for this next year. That's nothing compared to Beno's contract.
One bad series and everyone is ready to throw Beno under the bandwagon. Go figure.
