Depth

[RobinsontoDuncan]

I am sitting down to think about this and i see one of a team

In the front court we have TD, Rasho, Rose, Massenburg, Marks, and I really think we'll end up with Boumtjie-Boumtjie
Next year when we add Louis Scola man we are set, then in a few years we can bring that Georgian kid from the 2nd round this year, and i think Boumtjie Boumtjie will become very serviceable.

Backcourt, TP is expendable, look we have Barry, Manu, and Beno for the long haul. All three will be great i can feel it, I think romain sato will provide a Malik Rose like hustle off the bench, and Devin Brown can really be a factor whenever he steps on the floor. But if we keep TP, we're unstopable.

i look at the roster and i see a sacramento kings squad that doesn't choke and plays great defense

BTW i didn't even have to mention Bruce Bowen, the best one on one defender in the L

managment just knows what its doing, take it up the ass ghost writer

TP is expendable

I disagree Tp is a major part of the team, you lose him and we lose a huge portion of our scoring ability. Who would you replace him with... No matter who it will be their first year running pops offence. Udrih is a rookie and no rookie can come inand run the offence. Parker as a rookie started atr point but Pop was the floor general from the coaches seat.

Barry would be able to pick up the offence relatively quickly comparitively but he is most effective at the two, that where we want to use him, he is primarily a wingman, with the added bonus of being able to play a bit of point, its not his forte.

I mean think about it, when TP goes for over 20 we are pretty much undefeated, a bit of consistency is what we're hanging out for. Regarless TP has his place in the team and he needs to keep it.

[RobinsontoDuncan]

i know, but you must have missed something, TP is going to be here all season. Next year Beno wont be a rookie and Barry will have been here for a year, you see what i'm getting at. If you see pop playing beno a lot this season it is probably becuase he will replace parker. If he gets consistent time and sucks, then they have Barry.

[RobinsontoDuncan]

then they draft another PG next draft, they know what they're doing, they built an entire team through the draft; Duncan, Ginobilli, Parker, Udrih.

[xcoriate]

You stated he was expendable as of now meaning he could be traded...

If you say he is expendable and the spurs are not going to resign him, it would make sense to shop him now in order to get young talent back who is also on a rookie contract ort maybe package him with malik.

I understand what your saying though

[RobinsontoDuncan]

no wait till the trading deadline when Barry is ready to start at PG

[Kori Ellis]

But Barry could never be a full-time point guard next season. So if they lose Parker and Beno "sucks", they'd have to get someone else. Barry can play spot minutes at the point. He's not an NBA starting point guard. As for Beno, I hope he develops but first he has to step on an NBA court. We can't really judge his game yet. Then we have to see if he's a china doll.

[RobinsontoDuncan]

there will be twice the demand and then we can ship him to a non-playoff contendor, maybe for nick the quick, wouldn't that be nice.

yeah but kori your missing the point, we can trade Parker for another PG at the deadline to back up Beno and Barry, then we have devin who could play some point, and of course manu who did it quite a bit last year

[xcoriate]

Everyone else has expanded there scouting in europe and across the globe after seeing the success the spurs had with it... Theres gems to be had and everyone wants a piece. We may not see as many late draft steals as the other teams now have there eyes on the euros.

[xcoriate]

maybe for nick the quick

Or not so quick as it seems now with his injury...

[RobinsontoDuncan]

Parker never touched the ball on his pro team in paris, then he comes here and is unstopable, that's not obvious that is an awesome scouting team

in other words, no other team can do what the spurs do. period

[xcoriate]

I dont disagree with that... All im saying is the rest of the world has seen whats up for grabs... needless to say they like it and want a piece of the action.

Other teams can do what the spurs do, they can scout overseas. Look how the number of internationalists drafted has gone up. It will be much harder for SA to draft top flight euros late in the draft.

[RobinsontoDuncan]

well then we can trade for... stoudamire who is a free agent this year

[RobinsontoDuncan]

poitn taken

[RobinsontoDuncan]

chat? the old fsp one still works if im not mistaken

[xcoriate]

nah i gotta go out about now, its lunch time

[RobinsontoDuncan]

enjoy, nice talkin to ya

[ChumpDumper]

Letting Parker go would be insane.

[ducks]

spurs are going to be capped out
even if they do not sign tp
so how are spurs going to get a point?

[ChumpDumper]

We'll just trade Malik Rose for Derek Fisher.

Problem solved.

Boy, we're deep.

[iminlakerland]

Yall better not let TP get away that would be stupid and moronic!

[ducks]

yeah and fisher's big contract
and his slow legs

[iminlakerland]

yeah and fisher's big contract
and his slow legs

Ducks why are we even talking about derek fisher here. I guess im mistaken when i say that you guys should keep parker. Hmmm i mean if you dont want him we will take him thats not a problem.

There is a reason why the Lakers didnt offer Fisher the contract he wanted. It was too much. But did Derek Fisher do what the lakers needed for him to do when he was here? Absolutely, the guy was a class act, kept in shape, great public speaker, and he stepped up big for us all the damn time. Ducks of all people you should know.

Thank you come again.

[ducks]

chump mentioned trading rose for fisher
for added depth at the point (which I think he was joking)

[ChumpDumper]

Laker fans miss drops of sarcasm.

Ducks say has umbrella them.
