THC gone
Good luck Malik.
THC gone
Clearly the plot to destroy Malik's nba career goes far beyond the Spurs. The other 29 teams must be in on it.
Either that or Malik just isn't that good.
One of the two............
If the Spurs feel Gee isn't ready for prime time yet, this makes one wonder WHY the team didn't bother to go after another SF?
Saw this coming but didnt want to think about it.
The Spurs just lost their only decent perimeter defender. The front office is really obsessed with just finding shooters that are below average defenders.
I wish Malik the best. THC forever.
+1. If Hairston was gonna be gone all along, why didnt the Spurs go after Butler? I guess they'll sign ty ass Morrison or something.
Can't always go off SL. Hill was awful. He may stick, and be on the Toros/Spurs shuttle.
He's good as gone!
Just look at the PG position, it is full! Parker, Hill, Temple even Neal may play the point.
What's missing is a SF.
What did him in was twofold: he never stood out among the prospects, and he was out of Toros options.
If they think he may be worth developing beyond this year, he could shuttle between SA and Austin this year. Both Temple and Neal have the size to play SG. Anderson may swing to the SF, too, behind RJ and Gee.
THATS A WONDERFUL QUESTION!!!!! TO ADD TO THIS HUGE LIST I HAVE BUT... remember you cant question pops insanity here so lets just hush up before somebody goes ape on us. we could have kept him for garbage minutes/insurance at freaking least who else knows our plays that well??!!!, and ill bet you money pop has no "great" plan if he even has one at all!. theres not enough cash and remember our team lets players walk we dont trade here so were really screwed on the SF position guys oh well...
i sure hope this isnt another drunk season
ok 2 be optomistic maybe hairston will come back after those 2 yrs
Another player the Spurs develop for two seasons and leaves bringing nothing in return...
There's no need to dog on Hairston, BTW. He was a project. He probably felt he wouldn't get too many minutes in our roster and this was probably a good deal for him.
I guess the Spurs are pretty high on Gee. They will likely sign a vet SF now.
It's also a bit telling that Demps isn't making a move for Malik. He positively gushed with praise for Gee. N.O. is in need of some good cheap young talent, and if the Spurs are going to release him, you'd think Demps would give him a call, at least.
They don't want to pay the luxury tax, most likely.
Yup. He will probably spend a couple of seasons in Europe and then sign elsewhere.
im mad, but its more disappointing that was a huge/long investment and a big waste of time and space for others who would of been drafted!! maybe this means anderson is playing SF?
As I am neither a Hariston Hater or supporter I think this hurts the Spurs. Hariston's loss will be huge. As of right now on the current roster their is NOBODY who can play above average defense at the SG/SF position with the exception of Manu. I don't include Hill because he is a combo SG/PG.
This shows that with Popovich, he either loves you or loses faith in you. You can man up (G.Hill) or regress / get lost (Manhimi). Critics can say Malik can't shoot or has poor ballhandling but that was good enough for Popovich to play Bogans. Perhaps Malik was told to go over to Europe because he was not quite ready yet. He had no Dleague eligibility left. Perhaps the spurs still own his rights like the Hawks owned Childress. Either way, Malik will get better playing time and hopefully he works on his game and is back here in two years. By then he will be a euro-veteran and he should get some playing time for sure. Good luck!
Great. Let's just go out and try to outscore the opposition on a nightly basis.
While other WC teams are getting tougher and more physical, the Spurs are becoming more and more of a finesse team. Now the Spurs don't have a single perimeter defender on the team. How the is this team supposed to be any better defensively when they have nothing but poor defenders all around?
It's officlal. Pop has morphed into Don Nelson and the Spurs are now the Golden State Warriors South. It wouldn't surprise me at all if Duncan comes out this season and shows off his new offensive weapon - 3pt shot a la Mehmet Okur. Sheesh!
OV's head is going to explode when he logs on and sees this.
Let's try to construct the F.O. reasoning here:
(1) Rookies who never play a day in the D-league remain in the team (example: Hill, Blair).
(2) Rookies who have been assigned to play exclusively in the D-league never make the team (example: Hairston, Mahinmi)
(3) D-league players (example: Gee, Temple) who are signed stay in the team IF they never get re-assigned to the D-league.
D-league play is the kiss of death if you ever previously got suited up in the Spurs uniform. Or stated in another way, no legit Spurs player ever gets assigned to the D-league.
time to remove "Rumor" from the thread le
it's good i prefer Gee!
So exactly WHERE is the developmental advantage?
Somewhere Dennis Johnson is rolling over in his grave?
Lame. Let's see what the spurs have planned to fill the massive defensive hole at sf.
