Team is Everything
On the eve of Season Tipoff, Spurs fans have received a double dose of good news (great news in fact!)
Duncan Signs 2-year Extension
Not only did he sign an extension but he agreed to almost $11 million less than the maximum in order to give the organization more options in the 2009-10 season. Which of course means that our big three is now guaranteed at least until that season. Which of course means (say it with me) more championships! Maybe I’m jumping the gun a little on that one but I really don’t think so.
Beno Out, Darius In
Well it looks like my call to Mr Holt worked out after all. Against all odds, the organization managed to trade Beno Udrih, long time whiny backup PG, to the Timberwolves for a second round draft pick and cash. While not significant by itself, this means they will be able to keep Darius Washington on the roster. Washington is a fantastic player that now has the world-weariness necessary to fit into the team after stints in Europe and elsewhere. He’s never been given a fair chance and I believe it all comes down to this sequence of events when he played for Memphis to get into the NCAA championship. The Spurs coaching staff is not so short-sighted however and I guarantee this will be a great move for the team.
I mean, he has to be better than Jacque Vaughn right?
YES Finally get rid of Beno. I sorry the guy just didn’t do the job we were expecting of him and he took too many careless shots. Duncan is a class act and forever will be. Anyone who disagrees is an idiot and not a basketball fan.
