I don't think we should rule it out either.
I don't think we should trade him. I see him as a solid regular season backup point guard.
If we scrutinize his game for one more season, I believe we will finally be able to decide if he is too slow to be a PG in the NBA or not.
Theres no doubt he blew it against Detroits press. But IMO theres alot of point guards out there that would have done the same, some even with starting roles.
Beno is one of the better jump shooters on the team, IMO.
Do you think the NVE acquisition threatens Beno's status on the team?
I don't. I'd be stoked to be able to learn from one of the most cold blooded PG's of this era, not worried about PT.
I don't think we should rule it out either.
To repeat myself from another thread ...
I don't know if they'll end up trading Beno, since NVE is only one year. I wouldn't trade him unless I could package him. But I know that they've been trying. They tried to trade him for Jarrett Jack on draft night and have tried to include him in some other trade packages this summer.
Honestly, I think he's gone. But then again, I thought he was gone before the Spurs signed Nick Van Exel.
From what I gather, the Spurs have been shopping him HEAVILY since the end of the season. They didn't want to go into next season with Beno as the backup point guard.
Now that NVE has been signed for the minimum, I could actually see the Spurs keeping Beno as the third PG if they don't find a suitable trade. However, I think he'll generate enough buzz for the Spurs to get a pretty good deal for him.
I agree..
(kori i know what you said was in another thread but there seemed to be beno talk in the nve thread so i wanted to talk about beno in a beno thread)
don't you all think that it would be extremely risky to trade Beno this season? Like timvp said, i think this increases his chance of staying on the team. Because NVE has been very fragile these past few seasons hasn't he? If we trade him for a scrub, or a non-pg, and NVE has knee problems again....then we're looking at having a temporary backup point guard like Steve Kerr sans the jump shooting.
what player would get offered for beno? Who would the spurs see as acceptable?
Like I said, I would only trade him in a package right now - in other words, if it helps get rid of Rasho (or maybe even Barry) and you get something good in return.
Omg if you jinx us....
LOL sense you get so worked up all the time
You're the only one that doesn't seem to like the idea of having NVE in the team... I really don't know what's on your mind, but you did think too much of our rookie last season as I can see.
What do you mean? I love the idea we have NVE...i was just saying earlier that today's average fan expects so much from the spurs these days that they're gonna get let down when he goes through the usual adjustment period.
Plus we don't have to play against him anymore, which kicks ass.
I never thought Beno was the . He had some good regular season games, some clutch 3's here and there. I still think he's one of the team's best jump shooters, and I still think if we ran more he'd produce more. The main reason I have against trading him would be if we don't get another PG in return and because ourbackup would be a fragile NVE.
We'd have to.
I say keep him and let him learn from NVE. I wouldnt be surprised if Popovich asked him to mentor Beno. I agree that Beno is talented, He had a good regular season be honestly he did choke a little in the playoffs with turnovers and not being able to bring the ball up under pressure, but he is young and new to the NBA. So over all not bad for a young guy thats only going to get better behind NVE and Parker. Lets keep him and see if things get better.
Does anyone think that the Spurs might send Beno down to the NBDL? Or do you think that he would learn more as the 3rd PG?
I definately think he'd learn more as a 3rd PG... I wouldn't want to see Beno in the NBDL.
lol, the NBDL, he is a great player already. I prefer to have him in the team.
Next season he will comeback to the rotation for sure after Van Exel finish his contract besides if either Parker or Van Exel get injured we will need him.
Well, if he's going to be on the "inactive list" then they could easily send him to the NBDL to get playing time. He wasn't in very good shape last season and playing time in games might help that.lol, the NBDL, he is a great player already.
He's not a "great" player already. He's got good potential but if Beno's considered "great" then so is every scrub in the league.
Any interest in a Suns 1st-rounder and the rights to Milos Vujanic?
Neither would help the Spurs this year, but it's not like this is a move that puts the Suns any closer to topping ya this year anyway.
It would strengthen the Suns backcourt, but mostly down the road.
Milos is rehabbing from injury right now, but is finally out from under his contract and is free to sign with the Suns (or whichever team holds his rights).
He's claimed he doesn't want to play for the Sun because of Nash, but recently has softened that stance.
I think the Suns would be giving up too much talent, but they need a backup PG now. I love Barbosa's potential and have been a huge supporter, but he's looking more and more like a combo-guard and that's not what the Suns need.
Anyways, just throwing it out there.
yeah as much as people say this, i think its totally true
it took manu a while to adjust...i remember his rookie year when he'd just dribble the ball into the middle of 4 people, jump up in the air, turn around and throw the ball to someone who had no idea what manu was trying to do.
It takes time to adjust, especially with rookie-bench minutes.
Et Tu Kori?!?!?!! Skakespear never had it so bad!
Oh so many knives in my back and straight through my heart!
Angel, I don't want to get rid of Rasho (especially when Nazr hasn't signed an extension). I just know eventually they will ( , they tried dealing him for Abdul-Wahid), so I'm just throwing out options.
grrr dont get me started on nazr..
Why would he be in the inactive list. There's only 11 players in our roster so far.
He's the 3rd point guard. Wilks spent a lot of last season on IR as the 3rd PG. I'd bet that the Spurs fill out their roster and Beno spends time there too.Why would he be in the inactive list. There's only 11 players in our roster so far.
Ahh! = ) I knew you were good people! = )
Public Service Announcemnent
If Rasho gets traded, watch out! I'll be throwing more than options!
