jason thompson at pick 26 or trent plaisted at pick 45
Who's the best power forward available out there that could actually shoot the ball facing the rim, and could also post up? I really think this is a position where we have really had a problem for the past few years.

The Spurs have two big holes to fill:
1) wing with size who can score
2) second big man next to TD
Smaller holes (but not too small):
1. backup point guard (I wonder what's up with Darius Washington. Has he progressed after 1 year in overseas? Greece if I remember correctly?)
2. shooting guard who can spare Ginobili of heavy minutes, preferably who can drive to the rim too, so that Ginobili can take more jumpshots
It's still vital to stick to & rebuild around the Big Three. However, many Spurs fans in this forum, e.g. SenorSpur, have expressed hope about adding talent & I hope the FO won't disappoint us. Last year, the very decision to bring back the whole championship team is the single most important reason for failing to repeat in 08, while other teams were improving against the Spurs.
There's a mock draft having the Spurs selecting Roy Hibbert at 26.
I think the Spurs could really use a bruiser on the team.
I think we can fill our athletic needs in the FA market.
roy hibbert is not a bruiser, he's soft.
mock drafts are hardly ever right after the lottery. but i think it's about time to draft a player that can contribute right away and not someone we have to stash in a foreign league for 3+ years.
Will the Spurs ever have have any use for Sanikidze outside of traidbait? Does he have the weight/defense needed to be effective at small forward for us?
no, he will never be a NBA player
ITA. i'm a georgetown fan from before i went there for undergrad...and hibbert is tall as ...but that's about it. at his best, he will a tad better than dikembe because he can score the ball a little. i just think the NBA game is going to be to fast for him. i hope i'm wrong and he turns out to be a stud...
If Hibbert was a tad better than Dikembe, the Spurs would unquestionably take him. I don't see him ever being a defender or player on a level with Dikembe.
Mutombo's stats his rookie year with Denver ('91-92): 16.6 ppg, 12.3 rpg, 2.2 apg, 3 bpg. Career averages: 9.9 ppg, 10.4 rpg, 2.7 bpg.

Forget a young stud. Get older. Sign Mutombo.
How much cap space does the team have? Looks like Atlanta won't go over $11 mil for Josh Smith.
Yeah! What's Artis Gilmore doing these days?!Maybe one year beside Duncan would give him the final push he needs to get into the HOF!
Not enough.
even then, we need a sign and trade at best.
This modest dream for next year would make me ecstatic:
Mahinmi gives 6 pts, 6 reb, 1 blk per game...
Courtney Lee gives 7 ppg, shoots 47.0 FG%
Ryan Gomes gives 11 ppg, 5 rpg
Kyle Lowry gives 7 ppg, 3 apg
That's all-- Is that too much to ask?
Simple get rid of Oberto,Finley,Damon,Horry,and the garbage truck Vaughn.
Get solid back up PG (Delonte West or Duhon)
Get a servicable Center
Get an atheltic sg of sf. like (JR smith or Peitrus)
Don't draft any international players.
Start Manu. That stinks when he comes off the bench.
not really. Hawks GM today sounded kinda iffy about matching a high contract. Even if you do a sign and trade, the Hawks would have to get back players that would equal up to 90% of Smith's contract.(I think that's how the NBA trade thing works..correct me if i'm wrong) That's why you hear the 76ers rumors pop up. They have enough to sign him for 20 mil. Of course it depends on if the 6ers can sign Brand first.
You're not good at this are you?
God you fail so horribly.
Tell me what the f*** is wrong this. What are your thoughts keep the same team and enjoy going through offensive droughts. Get it through your head we 2 get some youth.
Oh, I'm all for getting younger.
The thing is that your scenario is the least bit realistic, nor possible.
Therefore your plan, for lack of a better word, sucks.
So your telling me we cant get rid of the players i mentioned most of them are FA, also that we can't start Manu, and that we cant get a better center than we have, and we can't draft anyone but an international player. I understand our cap space is tight but 2 get our le back we have to make these moves.
Getting West/Duhon and Smith/Pietrus and another center for our scrubs plus Oberto isn't gonna happen.
We can get younger but not necessarily with just these guys.
