Damir Markota: Just Waived

[Sunsman44]

The Bucks requested waivers on the ex-Spurs second round pick.

Not that much to showcase other than the fact that he is 6 foot 10 and is semi-athletic which means he might be able to run with the offense better than all the Skinners, Sweetneys, and Ruffins.

Could probably bag him for a few cents, if not less.

Markota as a Sun, anyone?

 

[green machine]

He's tall so he must be good!

Come on Kerr, sign him up. If you don't then you are a worthless GM and probably even a worthless human being!

Oh wait, the Bucks would have a higher waiver priority then the Suns wouldn't they? Oh crap, I guess it won't happen.

 

[PetryJr]

Bring back Dan Langhi!

This is exactly what I mean. We don't need continuous sarcasm.

I post something and somebody comes with yet another cute semi-angry comment.

Instead, why don't you try to voice your displeasure with reason instead of sarcasm? Just a thought.

As far as Markota goes, I did not say he is tall so he must be good. In fact, he probably stinks - as your sarcasm alludes.

I said he is 6 foot 10 and semi-athletic, therefore, Suns should give him a chance given they don't have any bigs and don't have much money.

You can have Marks get the minutes while Markota is just a practice buddy on the 13th roster slot. Plus he is young. You don't have much options at this point...

I like sarcasm, it's fun.

What kind of responses are you expecting? How do you argue against a post that suggests the Suns claim a guy that A. they won't get anyway, and B. isn't any good?

If anyone else had started this thread I would have thought it was a sarcastic way of saying the Suns should claim somebody. Oh well.

Maybe post something worth our time if you expect different replies.

Dude, you're posting about every single player that's over 6'9", whether the guy stinks or not. If a bad team is waiving a player, doesn't that tell you something? It's not like the Bucks were having trouble affording him.

If you concede that he stinks, why would he be wanted on the Suns? Practice body is stupid--because the team would be no better off during games then they were before signing him, so it makes no difference. For someone that is so bent out of shape about who we have on the bench, signing a practice player for your peace of mind is ludicrous.

 

[ryanshaug]

We should totally pick this guy up...I mean he was a Spur and he's tall. Clearly he fits what we need.

OH. Lets be sure to pick him up before the Bobcats do as well, that way they don't continue their utter domination of us through the Sunswoman44 position-position ranking system.

 

[Sunsman44]

Can you please show me a link to these alleged "over 6-9" threads I made? This would really enhance your argument.

If a bad team is waiving a player, doesn't that tell you something? It's not like the Bucks were having trouble affording him.

Could it be the Bucks already have a myriad of bigs? Jianlian, Bogut, Gadzuric, Voshkul, Villanueva all fighting for play time. Not to mention Yi Jianlian's contract has a 20-minutes or more policy installed.

Would not be surprised to see Markota sign with a Spur or Mav team and explode in the years ahead.

And your explanation of Sean Marks is....?

Who said Suns will get him? Refer back to the original post.

I specifically posed a question: Markota as a Sun, anyone?

There is no definate will or will not get him. We do not know. We do not work for the Suns.

I am simply posing a question for debate. You cannot say something will or will not happen unless you are working for them.

This is an open forum to discuss any opinions and pose questions to other fans.

Come on, you know better...

And people tell me I'm crazy.

Speak for yourself

Also, I misunderstood what you meant when you said "Bucks request waivers." I read that as they tried to claim the guy, not that they waived him. That's my mistake.

You forget your own threads and posts? Interesting. They are scattered throughout the board.

Explode? LOL Do you know ANYTHING about this guy?

And your explanation of Sean Marks is....?

What explanation are you referring to? Are you saying that if the Suns signed this Markota kid, he would get more minutes than Sean Marks? You yourself said he would possibly be practice fodder and nothing more.

Bill Cosby as a Sun? Anyone?

Meryl Streep as a Sun? Anyone?

How big is that hat you're pulling names out of?

 

[PetryJr]

Well, while I think Cosby is past his prime, I can still see him playing 5 to 10 minutes a game for the Suns. As long as he can hit the three, I'd have no problem with the Suns adding him.

As long as that doesn't keep the Suns from signing Sweetney, Henderson, Batista, Cato, Skinner and Markota, of course.

Oh I get it. Because this is not a Suns forum, we can simply pull celeberity names out of bags instead of NBA players.

Let's talk about Bill Cosby and not center Damir Markota.

Right on. Keep rolling there, buddy. Makes totally sense.

this is the only legit reply to this thread i've read. the rest of you need to chill. seriously. the original post just brought up a name. i understand many of you don't like 44's posting style, but nothing in this thread deserved all the derision. just ridiculous the venom in an innocuous thread.

Agreed, especially since there is a dearth of information to talk about. Let's not cannibalize ourselves.

Since we are talking about former Spurs it might be more interesting to discuss which might be the better bench fodder for the Suns. IMO, Sean Marks has not proven anything to me other than he is a nice guy and probably a good practice player.

 

[F-Dog]

Markota comes with a year's supply of HGH, right?

this is the only legit reply to this thread i've read. the rest of you need to chill. seriously.

Did Ouchie's sister hack into his account?

Without a doubt. Agreed.

If people don't like what they read, click ignore. The childish sarcasm that is supposedly geared towards making some of you look like "the wise man" of basketball is not going to work.

With that said, I will try to answer one and only legit question posted in the previous page: dodie53: "who's damir markota?"

Dodie, Markota was drafted by the Spurs in the second round and traded to the Bucks last season.

Markota did not have a chance to show his ability on the Bucks roster and never got play time. I think Bucks had and have too many big men.

They requested waivers on him today and he is now looking to go back to Europe if no NBA team shows interest.

He is from Croatia, but also played in Sweeden and is friends with ex-Sun Maciej Lampe. He reminds many of Vlad Radmanovic and can shoot fairly well. He is 6 foot 10, but like most Euros, cannot defend.

Considering he is super cheap to get, I say Suns should pick him up.

 

[F-Dog]

FTFY

44, your turn to chill. the "FTFY" stands for "fixed that for you" . . . it's a joke.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

i'm like an unsanctioned rogue moderator on this thread!

 

[Errntknght]

Here's my read on Markota, just based on his stats for 1 year in the league - very few blocks, subpar rebounder for a PF, more than 3 times as many TOs as Assists. But he will shoot 3's - more of those than FTs. FG = 38%, FG3 = 38%, FT = 64%. 143 minutes in 29 games on the year so its not a whole lot to go on but nothing very promising.

sorry, didn't know what "FTFY" meant. Thought it was another insult or some sort something of that nature...

 

[dodie53]

if markota is another vlad rad, the suns should get him..

if he is another skita,
well.. um..
no..
