gilbert arenas, ron artest, iverson...we need to grab someone
theres no way we can take out la/boston new teams.
spurs need to land a big FA or we have NO SHOT of ever seeing a le again in the duncan era
Iverson would make a lot of sense for this Spurs team. He's someone who can carry an offense on his own and would help a lot with the scoring burden in the regular season. Plus he has plenty of postseason experience.
The problem, of course, is that he won't opt out this summer. He has a year left with Denver to the tune of $20+ mil. He's not going to give that up. Next summer though, he should be free agent target #1.
Yeah, hes someone that still has ALOT left in the tank, would be great next to Parker, very clutch, and is DYING for a ring.
I would gladly take Iverson on this team.
Maybe next year (I mean after the season). With all the talk of them trading Melo, I could see Iverson getting upset and taking less money for a ring.
Wont Happen.
plus he can play d. imagine pop going small with tony and allen
with the nuggets wanting to get rid of carmelo, i can see iverson wanting to leave and join a real contender. he desperately wants a ring and knows his window is closing.
MAKE IT HAPPEN SPURS!
Come on guys, don't you remember "Practice, we talkin bout practice, Man." He would fit right in with the Spurs.
We dont need a BIG name to compete. We do need someone younger who is athletic and can play. If we got Iverson then we'd have 2 PG's. We could play Parker at 2 gaurd and move Manu to the bench, but thats to much money in the backcourt. Plus, you all know we arent gonna spend very much.
Damn you, Splitter.

Iverson??
I thought we were supposed to get younger. I don't see Iverson w/much in the tank.
but, that being said. i would not mind seeing Iverson in the team. he is hungry for a ring
Artest and Arenas will not join the Spurs in my opinion. I don't even want Arenas in this team.
But if we can get AI next year, that would be nice. For me this year a guy like James Jones or Delfino will be enough.
Iverson would be in Pop's doghouse for so long that we would have to start shipping his weed there.
bringing in a "big name" guy just isn't what the spurs do...we already have 3 big name players...who do you expect them to add? Not to mention, what "big name" player is gonna want to come here to ride the bench?
Artest is really the only big name guy i could see having a role on this team that he'd fit right in to. His size and quickness would be perfect against the Lakers, Hornets, Suns, Mavs...etc.
Why the would iverson go to SA to sit behind Parker, when he thinks he's still a top name in this league?
Iverson would have to start in that situation. He is still better than Parker with more range on his shot. Could you Imagine the Lakers giving A.I. the shots they were daring Tony Parker to take? If they did the Spurs would be in the finals right now.
We just need to add younger, very hungry players to support our big 3.
Boston Celtics have done that.
Or look what Dumas has done @ Detroit: adding guys like Stuckey, Maxiell help the older core (Sheed, Rip, Chauncey, Prince)
An interview with RC stated that the Spurs have never uttered the name "Artest". He's not Pop material.
bring Arenas or baron davis!!!
They why were there reports coming out of Sac-Town the day of the trade deadlie, that they were in conversations with the Spurs about a possible Artest deal?
All I remember is that when he was asked about Artest around the time they traded for Thomas, I remember him saying something similar to that they have never uttered the name Artest.
I certainly don't trust anything R.C. says. This is the same guy who got all infatuated with JKidd. The same guy who's still living off the shine of drafting Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili.
...and the possible Splitter flop
Jayem, I'm sick of your .
No shot? Really? With Tim Duncan and Tony Parker?
This guy deserves a Pink name.
SPURS have MLE not 10 million cap room. Big name player...you guys are dreaming...unless the NBA allows another round of Allen Houston relief
to everyone who still thinks we have a big 3....think again....its the big 2 now...tony and tim, we could still use another 3...manu's days will remain behind the arc, and we will live and die from behind the arc, unless we get another star to blend in with tony and tim, and keep in mind, tim is just one yr. from leaving tony all on his own....age creeps up fast.......and age is earned...life is good...go spurs go
Yeah he's one of the worst posters here. He constantly trashes all the players and has a doomsday mentality about everything.
