How many regular season games did Horry play again? , Grant could stay on IR the whole season while the Spurs work younger guys...
I would be all for blowing up the whole bench. That was the reason we lost against the Lakers, no new blood.

If Bynum is ready to go next season, there isn't going to be much playing time in LA for Turiaf I don't think.
If he thought he could play more in SA, he could be someone you could take a run at.
I guess if you want them to keep the vet strategy alive and well, switching them etc. (I really hope Finley retires! please!)
..but Grant became a liability for the Suns in the post-season, D'Antoni had to bench him cuz he was hurting.
He's a decent prospect, he finds ways to score and contribute, I really love his Dr. J impersonation with those one-handed moves he makes
He's a decent 3-point shooter too, and he's tough and aggressive... If we can get him for cheap, I'm all for it, he's really a pretty good player, I think his defense could be an issue, but even so.
I like Turiaf's thoughness in the lane, he did about a good a job as any back-up big-guy at slowing Duncan....
...the thing about picking up guys that are too young and need a lot of work is that Tim Duncan only has about 3, maybe 4 good years left in him, that's it...so if guys aren't able to make big contributions in the next 2 seasons it's really not fair to Tim...and the Spurs aren't gonna do it....trust me...
...but he played 70 regular season games an avg of 31.8 minutes...way too much for Hill...keep him at about 20 minutes and you've got a decent chance at him making good contributions offensively in the post season...
Brilliant.
Hermann sucks and will go back in Europe.
That's an in joke.
Yeah, he might be an upgrade from Finley.And his midrange J is okay. But I dont' know about his three. (which made Finley pretty important in 2007)
Yeah, it will be tough to get guys that are young but not too young for the available money. That's why I wanted more projects on the roster this past season.
Spurs died by the 3 this post season....they need a decent mid-range player (which I hope Kurt Thomas and Udoka work on with the Spurs shooting coach this off-season)....
1) the Spurs need another inside player, 6' 9" or taller, who can rebound. Hopefully block shots as well. Oberto needs to come off the bench. Splitter?
2) the Spurs need to dump some old players and get some young players. We don't need Horry, Stoudemire, Vaughn, Bonner, Finley, Thomas, Udoka or Barry. Half these players must be dropped or moved. Finley should not be starting. Ian?
3) the Spurs need a backup point guard who doesn't suck. I thought Beano and Speedy Claxton were better than what we have now. We need a backup point guard who specializes in assists and steals.
4) Bowen needs to teach Udoka how to play defense if we keep Udoka. Either Udoka sucks, since he didn't start tonight, or he needs to improve his D and share time with Bruce.
Splitter is unproven and likely to cost too much since he resigned with Tao...now Turiaf could be a guy to take a look at....the Spurs need another inside player, 6' 9" or taller, who can rebound. Hopefully block shots as well. Oberto needs to come off the bench. Splitter?
Vaughn, Udoka and Barry are still under contract, albeit for the vet league minimum for Vaughn and Barry...Thomas would be a decent sign for 3-5 million/per...but only if he works on his mid-range game...the Spurs need to dump some old players and get some young players. We don't need Horry, Stoudemire, Vaughn, Bonner, Finley, Thomas, Udoka or Barry. Half these players must be dropped or moved. Finley should not be starting. Ian?
He has not resigned with Tao.
Get your facts straight for christ sakes.
I disagree.
The Spurs have had only ONE lottery pic since 1989, and that was Tim Duncan. So we are amazingly good and deep given that condition.
Okafor wants too much money....
trade Ginobili for Okafor!Okafor wants too much money....
He was a 20 PPG guy at the end of last season, then he got screwed at the start of this season in Charlotte. Then he went to Detroit to be screwed again.
He spend the whole year in the doghouse, of course he sucked this season, but it wasn't his fault, he didn't get any PT to show what he can do.
Spurs need upgrades. Gone are the days of minor off-season tweaks. Until then they are done as contenders. Even this season they went to WCF (barely!) but losing 4-1 isn't "contending".
Get a starting SF, move Bowen to backup SF, and get another inside offensive player. Possibly trade Ginobli and pieces.
Keep dreaming.....yeah, the Spurs will sign Jamison too.....
