    ESPN Insider Article - Suns 3rd Worst Franchise for the Future?

    Just a reminder: Spurs also drafted these players: Duncan, Parker, Ginobili, Hill, Blair, Splitter (not proven in the nba but expected to contribute), James Anderson (rookie). All of them are still on the team (in fact they ARE the team. Except for Duncan the rest were late first rounders or...

    Official Offseason Free Agency Thread

    Oberto was good but had health problems (a heart condition). It was a sad thing when we let him go. Manu said about him that he was the best big man at setting screens he had ever played with. Also he was smart and played perfect team D. Very limited athletically though, he cannot jump. I...

    Official Offseason Free Agency Thread

    Yes, no one knows yet so let's see. It might take a while for him to change some things. He has to learn the Spurs' system, which normally takes a couple of months. Also he has to change the way he sets screens or he will get called for moving screens all the time (they don't call that the same...

    Official Offseason Free Agency Thread

    Reportedly (Woj twitter) the Spurs signed Splitter for 3 years, 10.9 mill. Steal of the offseason? Do you think elindholms assessment of Splitter was adequate? "Splitter sucks and he will never play in the NBA anyway. That was a wasted pick."

    Offseason Wish List

    You guys should sign Ian Mahinmi. He is a tall, active, athletic c who is still learning and should improve. Pop gave him very limited playing time and most Spurs fans wanted to see more of him. He is raw, commits mistakes and fouls too much so he would test everyones patience but he could be...

    Offseason Wish List

    Yeah why not sign Dirk, LeBron and Bosh and forget about Fry or whats his name and then wake up :bang:

    Greetings Suns Fans-I look forward to a spirited competition.

    Yes good analysis da_suns_fan but too modest! BTW I just checked the Mavs forums and they are going crazy with "we look even worse now" threads. Funny!

    Greetings Suns Fans-I look forward to a spirited competition.

    Tyler and CaptainInsano are right. Spurs need to get tougher. elindholm: It's ok. You put forward some rational arguments. Let me just explain where I come from. Im 41 years old and I have followed euro ball closely since I was a teenager. Don't expect me to be impressed by any comments based...

    Slow? That must have been the absolutely worst choice of random negative, since Splitter actually can outrun defenders on the fast break. (check random youtube video). Bad luck. If you had guessed he is not a great rebounder on the other hand, then you would have guessed right.

    Greetings Suns Fans-I look forward to a spirited competition.

    My prejudice against Suns fans is that they don't know **** but pretend to know ****. elindholm: you are just a troll, spreading random biased opinions not supported by any facts whatsoever. Grow up, learn, try to behave with some class like for example steve nash or tim duncan.

    Greetings Suns Fans-I look forward to a spirited competition.

    You said Splitter sucks and then admitted you never watch him play. What would you call that? Who had the Spurs steamrolling the Suns? Not me. I think you just tend to assume things based on your own prejudice against Spurs fans.

    Greetings Suns Fans-I look forward to a spirited competition.

    elindholm: Ok so you are just trolling. I will spell out the reason why Splitter decided to stay in Europe: M..O..N..E..Y. Splitter played pro ball here until he had to declare for the draft, decided to stay and avoid the rookie scale. I think he just made good, rational decisions. Now, if he...

    Greetings Suns Fans-I look forward to a spirited competition.

    cheesebeef: you misunderstood my post which was not clear. I just tried to show the difference between our FO's ability to draft good players and their mistakes in signing FA. Imagine the team above with three good free agent signings instead of crap ones. I know Jefferson has a huge contract...

    Greetings Suns Fans-I look forward to a spirited competition.

    Just to prove my point above, next season we could theoretically use this "all drafted" team: C: Splitter, Duncan, Mahimni, PF: Duncan, Blair, Gist SF: "Unknown rookie drafted 2010"/Hairston SG: Manu, Hill, Hairston PG: Parker/Hill, De Colo Note that except for Duncan these were all late...

    Greetings Suns Fans-I look forward to a spirited competition.

    Yes, it seems like the Suns is the better team this year and it doesn't come as a great surprise to me. We have struggled all year. Compared to our champion teams and compared to the Suns we simply have too many bad (Bonner, Bogans, Mason), inexperienced (Hill, Blair, and Mahimni) or soft and...

    Really Spurs Fans??

    I don't think it's an issue at all. I'm also a football (soccer) fan and compared to what football fans are chanting and singing the nanana... stuff is absolutely nothing. If a fan of Arsenal would complain about what fans of Tottenham were singing during game he would be considered to be a...

    Really Spurs Fans??

    Spurstalk.com has decent fans and whining homer fans just like most fan sites (including this very place). BTW look in the mirror. You just started a whining thread after winning a game :bang: The live game threads are obviously the least objective because people write stuff spontaneously and...

    Greetings Suns Fans-I look forward to a spirited competition.

    There has been some discussions about trading Parker in the Spurs forums and it could happen. Bosh has been mentioned but not all are sold on that idea. The FO has indicated that they will bring in center Tiago Splitter from Europe this summer and then they might not go all in to get another big...

    Greetings Suns Fans-I look forward to a spirited competition.

    Nice post Steve! I get what you are saying about Jefferson. It's just that I'm a realistic or even slightly pessimistic person so I don't expect anything special from him. I agree that Hill is a better defender than Parker and a better complement to Manu. However, Parker seems to have accepted...

    Greetings Suns Fans-I look forward to a spirited competition.

    Who wrote that dictionary Steve? Ray Allen? I hope you dont actually pay real money for dictionaries like that, you seem like a decent and intelligent guy. I'm not sure who will win this series. After this regular season Spurs fans have no reason to be cocky. I totally disagree that Jefferson...

    Greetings Suns Fans-I look forward to a spirited competition.

    Spurs fan checking in. I respect the Suns. Nash and Amare are great and you have the deeper team this year. We have the big 3 + Hill, Dice and Blair but if Pop has to play our scrubs (Mason, Bogans) extended minutes we are in serious trouble. Go Manu, go Spurs! LOL at believers in conspiracy...
