The Perpetual NBA Thread

Well, the defending champs just got better with Finley and Van Exel on board, it also addressed their needs for a backup point and a consistent shooter off the bench.

The Spurs' rotation this upcomming season barring any injuries:
C- Nazr Mohamed
PF - Tim Duncan
SF - Bruce Bowen
SG - Manu Ginobili
PG - Tony Parker

Off the bench
Michael Finley (Sixth Man) / Brent Barry
Robert Horry
Nick Van Exel
Rasho Nesterovic

With a glut of shooting guards, I wonder if they will trade Brent Barry.

12 na pala ang nasa roster ng Spurs

C = Nazr, Rasho
PF = Tim, Oberto
SF = Bowen, Horry, Finley
SG = Manu, Barry
PG = Parker, Van Exel, Udrih

sayang yata si Big Dog, I feel meron pa itong ibubuga.

Lakas ng Spurs, galing ng scouts nila.

loko din tong si Finley...i bet he thinks he can cruise to the championship on the backs of Timmy and co.

may the curse of Gary Payton descend upon you!! :swear: ;)

Actually, its a good move for Finley, put yourself in his shoes, join Miami for 5 mil and play with an erratic White Chocolate, showboat Walker, Moody Shaq, "give me my shots" James Posey, and an oft injured D-Wade

. Join Phoenix for 1-Mil and get ruinited with your best buddy Steve Nash and a freak of nature in Amare Stoudamire, or Join the defending champs - TD and co. I rest my case

i agree, his best shot at a ring is in SA. my point was, it seems like he doesn't want to work for his ring cuz you know he's going to be playing 20 min a game shooting spot-up threes...

Well you can say that. but I think he's tired of playing 40+ mins a game which he did during his earlier days with Phoenix and Dallas, and when the playoff's come, he's burned out. He' true value will come during the post season where men are separated from the boys, he still produced some big games during last season's playoff run, I can see Tony Parker being benched for Nick Van Exel if he continues his erratic play come playoff time.
