It seems like a lot of people are bemused, disappointed and even shattered by the Spurs' latest draft shenanigans. Why? This is business as usual for our team. When was the last time we drafted a player and thought "this guy will make an immediate impact"? It would have to be Parker right? But he's about the only example i can think of.
Doing the exact opposite of what the fanbase wants and the world expects is the Spurs' MO on draft day. We don't call him CIA Pop for nothing.
So, we drafted a big man prospect (one of the best in Europe, so I'm told), an athletic SF with a bad at ude who will no doubt be treated much like SJax in 2002, and a swingman who can shoot the lights out that nobody has ever heard of... that's EXACTLY what I expected of the Spurs! I expected to be all, that way it's not such a disappointment.
Wonder why everyone passed on Dowdell?
Also, does this mean we are committed to more Vaughn as the backup, or will we sign an FA? Vaughn was pretty solid in the playoffs (after the first round), but I'd like to have a stronger backup for Tony who doesn't make my butt pucker every time he takes a jumper...
Moral of the story - draft day is rarely fun for Spurs fans. Get used to it.
I'm out.
What's that strange about it?
We took a guy who was projected to the lottery at #28.
We took a guy who some analysts had in the low 30s at #32.
And at #58, it's a crapshoot anyways.
Not saying that it was the best draft ever. But wasn't mind-boggling either...
Not taking a PG was interesting.
I wonder if that means the Spurs are sticking with Beno.
Beno must die...
hopefully miles does well in summer league.
I think the drafting flood of SF shows that the Spurs aren't too high on James White being a legit SF for the future.
I hope a PG is coming in FA because Beno is just a waste of a roster spot at this time. That said, I think it was a productive draft given what was there to work with. My only question is Williams - either he worked out like a demon for the Spurs or they know something we don't.
I talked to him the other day and he said that he doesn't think he's coming to Spurs summer league.
He was trying to get invited the the Bucks summer league team.
Maybe they are going to throw some money at a free agent point guard?
Maybe they're just really sold on Vaughn....no....I'm serious....stop laughing!
I guess Scola could get turned into a backup PG....Duhon for Scola?
We should just invite Cheyne Gadson now since we bought his team.
I think his declining to play on his national team indicated this as a real possibility.
Beno gets a free trip to Vegas next week.
I stick by my statement.
If they go with beno udrih for one more ing year, im giving up my tickets.
This lazy ass at ude, i've ing had enough.
Udrih won't be around next season, don't worry..
Dude, I agree with your sentiment, but after the 2005 finals, shouldn't you avoid ultimatums on a message board?
Not necessarily that so much as maybe they just aren't comfortable with him being the only option without compe ion going into next year's camp.
vaughn and beno are almost as ty as anthony carter.
if there was a pg available, they should've drafted them....
this is another ter of a splitter draft. typical pop bs.
I must be missing something here..? The existence of Beno Udrih is so horrible that it trumps winning championships.
Just when you think Tpark can't get any dumber.
So, you will give away your tickets? Because I'm sure you already paid for them for next season, right?
Lower level?
PM me before you actually do that. I could make it worthwhile.
I thought that new guy from Houston was supposed to be a trade guru.
He is. We traded Printezis for a second round pick next year.
For a while I took you literally.
