So much for that. Free agents VERY rarely ever choose to play in San Antonio though, nobody should have expected him to have come here. The only way it happens is if someone wants to ressurect their career as a specialist, or they suck and want to get some coaching in to become a fraud specialist at something just so they can get paid.
Think of all the ex-Spurs scrubs that got paid just because they were a Spur. Roger Mason, Keith Bogans, Nazr Mohammed got a huge deal. . .the list is pretty large. Now, Nazr was good anyway, but those other guys? Please.
I was personally shocked when I heard we got TJ Ford. Then I checked his stats and saw he'd been struggling with injuries for 2 years straight, so it began to make sense. Vven still, I cannot remember one free agent that we've signed with a bigger name than TJ Ford. . .and his name isn't even that big (other than Wilkins for 1 year when he was trying to ressurect his career, which ended up being little more than something to pretend was interesting during the miserable season that that was). Every decent guy we've pulled in since I've been watching the team in the early 90's was via trade or just a draft pick.
No one good ever intentionally decides to come here. I don't know why exactly, but even the Cleveland Cavs have gotten bigger free agents than us. CLEVELAND!
Anyway. . .with Martin out of the picture, and us still needing a good bench big, who's even left anymore? I can't see anyone making any kind of impact at all except foolishly gambling on Rasheed Wallace. It's really too bad McDyess retired, because we could sure as hell use last year's McDyess right now.
