The Spurs let him go last season to sign Drew Gooden’s bitch-ass. In the 10-days he was there he became an immediate fan favorite, with several highlight reel dunks in his first game.

Boundless energy on the court, with world-class hops and athleticism. Just what the Spurs have needed for several years. Now they went for a replacement in Marcus Haislip, and I swear if Pops has more impact in Houston than Haislip does for SA, I am gonna throw fits.

Chalk up yet another guy that the Spurs let walk (eventually) to the Rockets…Scola, Flight White, now Pops. GEE, y’all are gonna love him.

Man,

Wonder why we were hoping that Rockets will at least survive the lottery next year? With Yao out for the season, this reminds me a lot of the version of Spurs 98-99…

We were not going to win anyway, might as well hope that we will do a Spurs in next year’s draft and get a Duncan 2.0 to support Yao… John Wall will be a start.

Houston fans, treat our boy right, Pops in the man

It may not have been in the NBA but in spain he averaged 26.6 points, 13 boards and 2.5 blocks per game, shooting over 60%. 15.8, 10.4 and 1.3 blocks in 30 minutes a game in the D-Leage, dude can play when given a chance. Expect at least 3 highlight dunks a game

@ IrishBaller

Ben Wallace 2.0 is perfect

plays the same way as Ben in Washington. Tries to block everything, tries to dunk everything. Non stop motor. For a team needin toughness, Raps shoulda found a way to lock him down…

it the Rox keep him, it probably means one of our PFs are out the door. Landry, Scola, Hayes, Cook. Adelman loves Hayes and Scola aint going nowhere so it looks like Landry is out. Maybe Landry, Barry, and one more player for a true SG.
