Just imagine what that's going to be like with Crazy Ron all over you, RJ.


By now, everyone knows that there's something of an arms race going among the teams considered legitimate NBA title contenders for next season.  There's also been moves by teams who desperately want to contend, in an effort to make themselves better.

Rumors have been flying, and various jokers like Amare Stoudemire and Ron Artest have been tweeting about wild trade scenarios that had yet to materialize.  Extra joker points go to RonRon for making people like me think he was joking about signing with the Lakers, then actually going out and doing it. 

And then there's the great Rasheed Wallace sweepstakes, with 'Sheed having his choice of title contenders to sign with.  No better way to counter crazy than with crazy and smart.  Graydon Gordian seems to think so, and at this point the Spurs are running out of good options, with 'Sheed probably being the easiest of those options, if he can be convinced to come to San Antonio.  The money is going to be the same no matter where he goes, so it just comes down to his own personal preference.

Let's review what's happened so far, and speculate on what's still to come for the Spurs.

The Wonder Years, Part Two - A Spurs Retrospective

Old_basket_medium
'Chopping away

As carina_gino pointed out, yesterday was the 10th anniversary since we drafted our Argentine wizard, Manu Ginobili. As when we drafted Robinson and Duncan, it was a momentous day in the history of the Spurs - even though Duncan certainly didn't realize at the moment. Highsight, as they say, is 20-20.

Things are happening in the Spurs nation, and we're all getting pretty excited about our chances for championship number 5. Before we're swept in the fervor of the regular season (all 82 games of bracing basketball action), though, let's continue looking at the history of our team. For remember: he who does not learn the lessons of history is doomed to sign Nick Van Exel again.

San Antonio Spurs Announce Summer League Roster

I know this because Timothy Varner over at 48 Minutes of Hell told me.  Thanks.  Check out his post for his take.  I'll try not to plagiarize the whole thing.  For some reason, his opinion and my opinion are similar.  What's that opinion?  Clickety, clickety, to find out.
