@drew_48moh #Spurs just announced they waived Eddy Curry and Derrick Brown. Ah well, can't say I'm surprised. -------------------------------------------------- i'm not the guy who likes to boast and all, but Powell is still in camp. i've been pulling for him to make it because he's the best all around choice from the bigs who got waived. Curry doesn't play defense and Brown was hailed as a guy who can shut guys down in practice but never be good enough to be in an actual game and for all we know, he probably can't guard Durant since Gerald Wallace isn't even close having Durant's ability. Powell would bring more than what Blair or Bonner bring to the table. also to note: if Powell does have an actual role on this roster as the 4th big if he stays, Pop can bring Diaw off the bench and start Splitter next to Duncan which will help our starting defense tremendously.

it would be hard to believe that Pop picks a G/F over a big unless he's planning on bringing Stephen Jackson off the bench as a PF

The question marks of the Spurs front office continue, many teams were reportedly interested in Eddy Curry if he was cut, even if the Spurs never used him that fact that teams are interested means we could have used him as trade bait, why do the Spurs never want size? We've needed a answer at the Center position since David Robinson retired in 2003, it does not take 9 years to figure out what a blind man can see. ^ Frustrated! |

The Spurs are a ridiculously deep team. If they need a contribution this year from the 15th guy on the roster, then they are in a lot more trouble than worrying about who fills that spot. With that in mind, I think the best course of action will be to go with the guy who may be able to contribute down the road after proving that he has matured in the D-League. PS Judging from the pattern of last year, this guy may not even be on the roster for very long. The Spurs were constantly bringing players in on 10 day contracts last year. Wesley Witherspoon is probably going to be the first of many such players to come. |

B1gdon, I agree with you on witherspoon and I was so sure that Brown was going to be the guy but they might of seen more upside with the rook who I also liked and then with only room to sign just one guy... You need to get the best for the team or none at all.

So does this mean that Pop doesn't check with us before he makes personnel decisions????????

I read an article recently about the trend of small ball really being taken seriously around the league, even leading to Miami's current title. And maybe Pop sees that as the trend to counteract traditionally bigger line ups. I'm not as optimistic, when looking down the barrel of Gasol/Howard. |

I was sure hoping the spurs would have kept Eddie Curry. In my opinion he was a low risk player with good offensive skills that would be valuable to the team. With no curry the spurs are basically a small team with no chance at winning a title this year.

Nah, the mavs don't need Curry for info on the Spurs, he wasn't around long enough to be of help, they need a big body and like I said elsewhere you can't teach 7 foot and in the West you need big bodies. And besides every body and his brother knows how the Spurs play..

Curry was with the Spurs for most of training camp and the Spurs did add on more from what they did just because they had to but who knows if they teach that to who isnt going to be around... I would think not. Curry is in the same position with the Mavs like he was with the Spurs.

head coaches have assistant coaches to look at every play from every team and check tendencies, taking up a roster spot to "spy" on a team is useless and rarely done. i agree with you wholeheartedly though, even if this ridiculous premise was true, Curry wasn't there long enough nor did he succeed in the schemes defensively to even be a factor.

Dallas has some injuries to their bigs and needed to fill gaps. I doubt Curry would have anymore information than a team scout would have. Except maybe Tim's underwear brand. Either way, these guys were bound for seats 12 thru 15 on the roster. |

Eddy Curry will complement Dirk like a wide angle lense flatters Ralphie May.
