... ppg more than they scored. The team finished 3rd in the league in O-Rating and 28th in D-Rating. The Big Three were the Biggest Three around; the modified Princeton was the hottest dance in town; Bulletproof was basically in his delayed rookie season; James Lang briefly seemed like he had potential, if not tremendous well-hidden upside potential (hey now, the spurs liked him); arvis Hayes was doing his arvis things; Mike Hall, Donell Taylor, and Roger Mason had some opportunities; Antonio Daniels was going ...

... old Kurt Thomas, and 34-year old Fabricio Oberto. We didn't kick in any draft picks. We didn't kick in any stashed assets. We didn't kick in any youth -- like George or Ian. When is that EVER a bad trade?
How much are people selling in this market? Consider this potential trade reported by Jeff McDonald and Mike Monroe at Mysa.com:
According to an Eastern Conference executive, Bowen, Oberto, Thomas and Roger Mason Jr. had been offered to the Nets in exchange for Carter and ...

Where is the roster right now?
Thin. The roster is thin. We really only have 8 guys under contract (Marcus Williams is on a non-guaranteed deal and I think the Summer League will be the determining factor on him).
Tim Duncan - C
Tony Parker - PG
Manu Ginobili - SG
Richard Jefferson - SF

... Let's have a young, athletic bench with a couple of dobermans to get after people. It would freak out the establishment. Advantage Spurs.
Bonner, of course, would be our Scalabrine. Advantage Spurs
Jack McClinton (whom I know nothing about, because college basketball is for dorks) could be our Eddie House. Because R.C. Buford told me so. Advantage Celtics
Finally, the piece-de-resistance: Tony Allen and Starbury vs. George Hill and Roger Mason Jr. Huge Advantage Spurs.

It's pretty clear that the Spurs front office has a plan, even though they're staying mum about it at the moment. In the coming weeks, we may witness that plan unfolding brilliantly, or crashing and causing improvisation. Either way, it will be fun to watch.

Pounding The Rock —
... I have some assets I can trade. Bonner has an expiring contract and is a semi-decent situational player. Roger Mason has an expiring contract, is a good shooter, and is clutch. FinDog has an expiring contract and can be bought out. Marcus Williams has an un-guaranteed contract and can be cut, OR, crazy as it seems, is maybe a good value at $800K. We also have Ian and the rights to Tiago. Oh, and a first round picks in 2010 and in 2012 (I have 2011, but I can't trade it with 2010 or 2012). ...

Pounding The Rock —
... By now, all of us are well aware of the fact that the Spurs' team defense suffered a lot a bit last year. The Spurs simply didn't have the personnel to make beautiful things happen on that end as they have in years past. This has a lot to do with the fact that Pop was forced to give Roger Mason, Finley, and Bonner a lot more minutes than they should have been getting. We've given Pop a lot of grief for this, but there's not really much else he could do with the personnel that was available. Bruce Bowen was a shadow ...
