From HoopsWorld: So much for Big Baby Davis. And, boy, the Spurs are really loading up for one last hurrah. They better hope Ginobili stays healthy - although they can probably rest him most of the reg. season and still get home court for at least the first round.
Guess we don't have to worry about San Antonio's size up front anymore, replacing Oberto and Thomas with McDyess and Blair. Spurs are still old and need to stay healthy, but if they do, they're still a contender.
Yeah, Jefferson/McDyess/Haislip/Blair >>>>> Oberto/Thomas/Bowen. The Spurs have done quite the hell of a job this offseason retooling their roster. Never doubt Pop and Buford down there.
I thought McDyess would have made a terrific addition to Portland. In the short term anyway. The list of options grows thinner.....
Well, he won't now that he's going to San Antonio. McDyess's agent said that Portland had displayed zero interest in McDyess. Not that McDyess had no interest in Portland. Ed O.
Really? We are clueless aye? I say you are clueless. Guys walk to whoever pays them the cash all the time. Turkoglu left to Toronto for cash. He was never serious about winning, or he would have never left Orlando in the first place. Sure McDyess is chasing a ring. But a lot of these older players are just trying to cash a check while they can, and if they can get it on a contender, great. If not, they play ball for another year and collect a paycheck with a team who can't.
And that is my whole problem with how the Blazers are being run right now. The Spurs negotiate from a position of strength because they have a marquee franchise with a record of winning champoinships. Portland is being ran the same way but we don't have the position of strength to negotiate with. That method of building a team cannot work unless you are an already established contender. Portland is not there yet, so that is why they are failing.
Let's see...attack the post not the poster...got it: This is the kind of post that someone who is trying to be an ass would make.
Weather durring the season SA is a little ahead of us right now in his eyes No state income tax in Texas WAY cheaper to live in Texas Maybe thinks he wouldn't fit in on such a young roster These are all just guesses
