The “little o ..” from June 30th … you win!!!!!!!!

You called it…The best man for the SPURS is McDyess……………If I could I’d buy you a beer.
Look out NBA! If Tim is still Tim, Mr. Holt has done a great job so the SPURS can bring home another championship. I am very proud of the SPURS ownership. They believe we have one of the greatest big man to ever play the game. This era has not ended.

the only reason why the spurs got a.m is cus he is use to coming off the bench and hes a better scorer then any other big out there(sheed was allready taken plus i dont think they would go after him cuz of the techs) they are not going for defence cuz if they were they wouldnt have signed a.m they want to out score teams still and thats not us but i think with the talent we got we have a better chance at winning a championship then 25 other team look we got jefferson at his prime he was just tired and ran out of gas trying to carry a sorry bucks team,hill who is only gonna get better and not burn out after an 82 game season after his rookie year,mason well hes mason he was good last year,a.m a prove vet big who can score on other bigs,manu if healthy is 1 of 2 players in the league that got the tag “ultimate X-factor” he can give you 10 to 20 points most nights and on some nights he’ll give you 35 to 45 points(the otherone is jr smith for those that are wondering), and then theres the great tim duncan, when healthy, is the best big in the league even at the age of 33,o yea then theres mr longoria parker who is only gonna give you 20+ points 8+ assist 5+ rebounds a night , then there is gregg to hold it all together the 3rd greatest coach of all time behind red and phil . so if any body “thinks” that the spurs aint gonna win it this year thats just it you “thought” they werent

For me, i think the best that the spurs would do is that to choose mcdyess or marion ..bcoz they will be a good fit with the spurs..both of them can rebound and can play very good defense and which is the spurs are looking for…GO SPURS GO!!!GO SPURS GO!!!GO SPURS GO!!!

jdean,

Gortat committed to Dallas. Camby is under contract with the Clippers. We’re talking about players for the MLE–they’d all cost the same. Depending on how you see it, they’d all break the bank or not. The Spurs first free agent acquisition was a big who could…wait for it…shoot.

We all realize that Duncan needs help.

Wow, funny. Not even a mention of Gortat. And did you actually say marvin williams and lamar odem. Thats funny. Lamar, you mean play only when espn makes me mad. We need a center. Gortat or Camby. If they fail then Mcdeys. You want to bring in a bunch of smalls that would break the bank. We need a big not to score, but to board and block shots. Or maybe if it was up to you a big that can shoot.LOL. Dont you realize Duncan needs help.

So much for Sheed We must now go after Mcdyess hard. Make a good sales pitch like Boston did for Sheed. I cant see Bass being a 35 min a night guy and he is probably asking full mid-level. He is a great big off the bench, but we have Blair for that. I also like the idea of Ryan Hollins. He is a legit 7 footer and super athletic, and he cant command the full midlevel. Also, I never thought Id say this, but maybe we should keep and start Gooden. If all else fails.

Tier 1-Wallace, Odom
Tier 2- McDyess, Bass, Pachulia, Williams
I don’t want Frye or Gooden. They are both lacking.
Udoka is the worst player I have ever seen besides Monty Williams.

I think if the spurs get Gortat that will be a big mistake. He didn’t prove anything in the playoffs, he is just another Bonner or Orberto. I don’t understand why the Spurs just don’t start Gooden, with the other starting 4 he will do good. He did show flashes of a pretty good player at times last year, imagine this year with the addition of Jefferson and Blair. And if Mahinmi can come in to the season healthy that will be even better.

First off the Spurs need to get back to their gritty defensive style. It ain’t sexy but who are we kidding the Spurs ain’t sexy BUT they don’t care. This move might put Bonner on the bench and maybe off the team but they would be so much better on defense.

I think Rasheed Wallace is a fantastic player in spurts. He has so much “potential” (which at 34 is not a good thing). He plays great defense, shoots 3’s and can post up. He can also be unselfish, as he demonstrated with the Pistons, and therefore is a perfect fit for the Spurs. Also being just a year older than Duncan they can finish their careers and legacy together. The appeal for RAsheed is hat he can meet that potential and be part of something great. His whole persona will be transformed and he will be remembered differently.

Another option is that the Spurs pursue Chris “Birdman” Anderson of the Nuggets. He is a high energy player with great defensive abilities. It could be hard to get him out of Denver but it is worth a shot. I would love to see him playing behind Duncan and there actually being a help defense guy. Also when Duncan was out of the game Anderson could actually defend the basket, minimizing Duncan’s minutes and keeping him fresh for the playoffs

I can’t wait…4 (and if we get Sheed 5) All-Stars on the floor together all harmoniously playing BOTH defense and offense!!
