SPURS WILL BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS NEXT SEASON!!

[Wurider]

ANYBODY REALIZE THAT IF THE TRADE GOES DOWN WHAT KIND OF SQUAD THEY WILL BE DEALING WITH NEXT SEASON. I HOPE THAT EVERYONE HASN'T GIVEN THE CHAMPIONSHIP TO THE LAKERS ALREADY, THIS MAYBE THE BEST SEASON IN A VERY LONG TIME. I CAN'T WAIT. SPURS ARE STRONGER THATTHEY WERE LAST YEAR AND THEY WON THE CHAMPIONSHIP, DON'T SLEEP ON THEM.

Yeah but they made a huge downgrade from Robinson to Nesterovic. I have no idea how he got a 50M contract. That just shows why so many people hate the NBA.

a GUARD has to be better than average to get a 50 million contract. In the same league, the decent just average center can easily get 50 million.

More ppg, almost as many RPB, better FG% more MPG. I consider him an upgrade. He's not world class. BUt robinson hasn't been worldclass for years himself. Robinson was a ghost out there MANY nights. Nesterovic is younger and has potential to improve on this team.

The only advantage that robinson has over him is in experience and I think that when you consider the quality team that will be around him, his ability makes up for it.

i agree theres not much difference between last years Robinson and Nesterovic. Oh though i gotta say, Robinson did step up in the FINALS and played better than he did in the season

you are confusing the DR of 2003 with the DR of 2001 or so...

Robinson was just a shell of his former self and his shooting, points and defense reflected that...

Nesterovic had a number of options after he had his best year... that is pretty much what decent to good centers get nowadays...
