Luis Scola
Are the Spurs looking for any big men this off season?
Is there any chance we can get Kevin Garnett?
Luis Scola
Although it would be AWESOME there is no way we could get KG. Imagine that though, 2 former league MVP's on the same team. Duncan in at Center and KG as PF......WOW.
kg and timmy...wow. no way that will happen but it would be a beautiful thing if it did.
It would be awesome, but what would you have to give up?
Surely Manu, if not Parker. Are you willing to do that? And since you'll most likely win a championship this year with the system you have in place, why change it?
Just my 2 cents.
Manu would have to go. And our first round picks for the next....4 years.
Theres a good chance that Ian Mahinmi will come over this year.
And since you'll most likely win a championship this year with the system you have in place, why change it?
Just my 2 cents.
There are 5 players on the Spurs that are questionable for next year’s roster, what can we get for them.
Matt Bonner,
Ely Melvin
Robert Horry
Beno Udrih
James White
I really like how Udrih plays, what's happened to him this year?
I liked watching him come in off the bench, why did Jacque Vaughn replace him? Let's hear it Spurs Fans.
No way Ian is ready to come over.
No way we get KG.
Not in 07/08
However, he does have an option in his contract for 08/09. He would be looking for a championship shot at that point, and he has all the money he'd ever need. He might pull a Finley/Payton/Malone and sign with a contender for the MLE...
Better play handling skills, better pressure making decisions, and he can handle the press.
I'm sure that Pop would be happy to send Beno along to Utah, if he could just get the Jazz to increase their offer from a bag of balls and a water cooler to a bag of balls, a water cooler, and a gross of playoff t-shirts from either Oakland or Salt Lake City.
Vaughn plays because Vaughn defends relatively well (particularly in comparison to Beno) and because Vaughn can actually bring the ball up against pressure. Beno's long suit is his ability to hit jump shots, but a jump shooter who hits about 37% from the floor AND doesn't defend AND struggles to bring it up against pressure is generally going to lose time to a guy who's better in at least 2 of those categories. It was Beno's job to lose -- and he lost it.
Thanks, I was wondering that all year.
I liked to see Beno play, but having been through Jacque Vaughn's time with the Jazz, it's cool to see him 'make it' somewhere else as well. Good guy, works hard, good spell minutes for the starting PG.
Ely is a free agent after this year. I don't think the Spurs will re-sign him. I might be wrong.
Injury prone, bad work ethic/non-compe ive nature, turnover machine.
Beno and Spurs are done. It was clear a year ago. I don't know why they extended him, hopeless optimism i guess.
He'll do better in another club or in Europe.
I'm sure the Jazz are fine without him (with Fish and Brown as our backup PG's).
But even if we were to trade for him, I think we're giving up too much in the deal you mentioned.
Ian isn't even a starter in Pau, he would be useless in SA.
But next year he'll get more PT because of the changes that are going to happen in his team... No more US starting five or kinda... and bye bye Herbert aswell...
KG to Phoenix for Marion, Diaw, picks & detritus.
I think maybe Javtokas would be more prepared to sign LLE this year, after sitting on the Panathinaikos bench for most of the year. He would be a great backup C.
Damn that would be scary, but do you think Amare would bow down to KG.....prob not?
hehe guess why ^^.
sure the panat is a great team but Javtokas isn't geting anywhere sitting most of the time the WHOLE game...
not a spurs material imo
Scola is way ahead talent wise... no questions here.
I didn't say that he would be ready. Just that he might come over. Hes not really developing much over there right now.
and bye bye Mahinmi.
Things can change but for the moment Pau is building their team for next year and Mahinmi isn't a part of it.
IMO the big men that will return to the Spurs next season for sure are Duncan, Oberto, and Horry. I think that Elson is a question mark. Oberto has replaced him in the starting lineup and is playing very well. Elson has been playing less and less since the playoffs started and he's been horrible in the playoffs so far.
Butler is also a question mark. His work ethic has been questioned by Pop so he's probably on his way out. He's still young and pretty raw. He could turn out to be a nice player, but I'm not sure he will on the Spurs.
Ely is gone IMO. He's not going to play much for the Spurs in the near future and I'm sure he wants more then the league minimum even though he's not worth more then that.
Bonner is a nice player but with Horry still on the team his minutes won't be many. I think the Spurs will pass on re-signing him. I wouldn't mind having him next season but he probably wants over $3 million a year and I'm sure the Spurs won't go that high.
The Spurs will most likely bring Ian Mahinmi over from France and hopefully they'll bring Scola over as well. I've been waiting for two years now to see him play for the Spurs. He has proven himself in Europe and now it's time for him to take the step over the pond. Even if it costs the Spurs most of their mid-level it's worth it IMO.
