Croshere signing - I'll take some rebounds with my rebounds

http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=3838234

In case you didn't know, we just picked up journeyman forward Austin Croshere for a 10-day contract. I remember being generally well disposed towards the guy when he was in Indiana, and he's certainly got plenty of that good ol' veteran savvy we love so much. Plus, this has got to be a hopeful sign:

"Croshere was waived by Milwaukee on Jan. 6 after appearing in 11 games. He averaged 3.3 rebounds and 2.2 rebounds."

The one thing we could really use is a big who gets boards. And looks goofy as hell. Score!

Interesting sign

He was always one of my favorites on those old Pacer teams.

Here is my requisite Ian Mahinmi comment

Not a bad sign, and we’ll take any help underneath that we can get. I don’t want to be pessemistic, but is this the big we’re hoping to add?

i’ll take it, but im not gonna jump up and down about it.

he can also be a spot up guy that can hit an occasional 3-ball. i always liked him in college, as he had a little run and jump in him. didnt see too much of that in the association. to me, he’s another kurt thomas, with a little elss toughness and a little more range. this had better not deter the spurs from their quest to get anohter big.

Do you think maybe they signed him just to transplant his ankle onto Yawn?

How’s Oberto’s foot problem? I thought he was suiting up again but then he’s not playing and I’ve heard nothing. Could it be worse than we thought? Just speculating but Croshere could more of a replacement for Oberto’s game and my guess is Ian a failed experiment.

Allez Spurs!

lets hope its only a “delayed experiment”

Isn't Crosheres game very Red Rocket like?

just with a slightly less ruddy complexion.

Check 48MoH, guys. Tim Varner was downright prophetic with this one… he has a theory about Pop wanting to go small that sounds logical to me. We’ve all seen the signs – more and more small ball, and now signing Croshere, who really is Matt Bonner 2.0.

Or maybe Bonner is Croshere 2.0?

Croshere lead all Spurs against the sixers with +1, we found a gem….
