I think that the best thing that could possibly happen to the spurs is they get a guy like oden. They need a threat down low to take some attention of duncan. Give the guy a little rebounding help too. Get a guy like him a you can crown the spurs again!think about it, and the spurs problems, and what kinda guy could fix them. Bingo, oden, it would be the best if we could get a trade for him, but that would be almost impossible. The blazers want to keep him, therefore we should find a guy similar, i doubt we could find one as good as oden. The need a pure big guy. Duncan is a power forward, and he will produce more at that position. Get a big guy!!!!
Maybe they could get Francsico Elson to volunteer for microfracture surgery. Then they could make money fall from the sky so they could afford to bring Tiago Splitter over a year early to remind you that the Spurs did actually draft a center in the first round.
The only problem with tiago is that he is a pf. He does provide a good amount of help and i was surprised that he was drafted that late but we will have to get him to learn more center fundamentals.
Talent at a given position runs in cycles, and center has been in a down phase for some time now. Additionally, centers are always so coveted that even total stiffs will get several years in the league.
What I'm trying to say is that it's going to be difficult to acquire a center with any significant ability, and we could do worse than the two-headed monster we have right now. In fact, it's an upgrade over the previous two-headed monster the Spurs had at the position.
To borrow from Rick Pitino, David Robinson isn't walking through that door.
Wonder if Rasho's available?
If he's not, I'm sure Nazr Mohammed certainly is.
Then rotate Duncan to center. Problem solved.
Is Oberto still in the Spurs team? nobody respects or remembers him in San Antonio.
I think he played well with Tim last season.I like Tiago too. Though neither as Oden but Fabri fits ok in the team and Tiago is a strong player.
Tiago is a PF/C, one of the reasons they went with him instead of The Argentine Who Must Not Be Named.
I think you should call R.C. or Pop and tell them! It's obvious that since they haven't won back to back championship they need better advise.
Toronto won't let you have him.
Oberto? oh, this is the reason for nobody respects him...Not?
oh, I gather that, is Sc...
The argentine who must not be named is a pure PF like Boozer not a center as Tiago.
"the argentine who must not be named" is the basic rule in ST?why? Steve, Amare, Boris, could to be named?
"the argentine who must not be named" is the basic rule in ST?
What's the point of starting a thread about a guy that Spurs can't get? At least make a suggestion of who you would like them to target who is available for trade. That's not Oden.I think that the best thing that could possibly happen to the spurs is they get a guy like oden. They need a threat down low to take some attention of duncan. Give the guy a little rebounding help too. Get a guy like him a you can crown the spurs again!
And if you want Tim to produce more, he can do that whatever position he plays. But he defers to Tony/Manu because he has that luxury.
Anyway, the Spurs don't need another big. They have Oberto/Elson right now and Mahinmi/Splitter waiting.
If anything, they need a young wing player, or an athlete PF/long SF.
We had one of the best centers in NBA history playing with Duncan and we parked him in the key on offense.
I wonder if we could get that James guy from Cleveland to be Bruce's replacement.
Who, Lord Scoldamort?
Wolkowyski.
IMO The Spurs need someone to make them better.
Thank God.
Like who? Not many out there available that fit our system IMO. I wish I could telaport back in time and bring back DRob at age 25 but that nots going to happen. Decent centers are few and our system doesn't necessary need an above average one. Just one to fill the role of defender/rebounder and be TD's help. LEt's see awhat Tiagoand Ian bring in the next year or two.
I agree with Kori - we need wings and SFs more.
I'm pretty happy with out big man situation right now, though we could always use more rebounding and shot blocking. We're operating under the hope that Ian can fulfill his potential and Elson and Bonner can catch a second season clue, but neither is out of the realm of possibility.
Ah! The infamous Derrick McKey type player,
Speaking of which, does anyone think that the Spurs will target one of so-called unrestricted FA swingmen next offseason (i.e. Pietrus, Maggette)? I'm not sure what other possible swingmen would be available.
Bring in some raw talent. Having nba noobs grow up with Duncan, Parker, and Ginobili in pressure situations = continued dynasty.
The is going on with Viktor? If he's just sitting on his ass in Georgia, bring him over and let's try to force the league's hand to get him on the Toros. If for some reason they are s about it, have him sign with the CBA team in the valley to rub it in their faces.
