San Antonio Spurs 1st ever Preseason Presser

[Bowser]

San Antonio Spurs Press Conference brought to you by  

 Eazy: First off I would like to welcome everyone to our 1st ever preseason Press Conference since joining the original league. We as an organization are looking forward to this upcoming 1995-1996 NBA season after the bad year we had last season not making the playoffs. As you all know during this past off season we fire head coach Bob Hill because we felt we had to go in a different direction with this team. We have now hired a new head coach and he is excited to be here and apart of our organization. I would like to welcome to the San Antonio Spurs our new head coach and identical twin of Gregg Popovich..........

Craig Popovich.

Craig Popovich: First off I would like to thank Eazy and the Spurs organization for the opportunity to coach this team. Me and my coaching staff are ready to turn this thing around and make this team a playoff team again. I've already talked to Glenn, Mark, Drazen, Dale, Rasheed, the training staff and they are all on board and want to become contenders for years to come. We want to be the best at everything and everyone within the organization plays a part in us achieving this goal. I will get the best out of each and every player on this roster. I believe with the current roster we have a good shot at making the playoffs and finally get past the 1st round. I want Spurs nation to expect big things this year and beyond. Again I thank the Spurs organization for this opportunity. Only a few people are blessed to have a job coaching a NBA team.


Eazy:  We are glad to have you here coach. Now if there are any question for me or coach feel free to ask and we will answer the best we can.

Johnny Junior, The Washington Post: Will one of your stud Power Forwards move to Center, or are you planning to bring Rasheed Wallace along slowly? Also, are you worried about another bad training camp for Drazen?

Craig Popovich: This is a good question Johnny? 

Our plans going forward is putting Dale at his natural position at Center and playing a little PF. Before the end of last season after he trained during all star weekend  he was playing some of his best basketball before his injury. As far as Wallace he will be our starting PF this season and we are not going to hold him back. He informed me that he's ready for the challenge transitioning from the NCAA to the NBA and making a positive impact on this team. Drazen will be fine even if he has another bad camp. We just need him to do what he does best and that's score points. I don't see his camp being drastically bad but as long as he can score we will be good.

Eazy: Great Question I'll answer this one coach

Well we as a organization explored this option countless times during the old league and this league but former coach Hill just didn't want to do them even tho there was money involved. So after we terminated his contract we thought that it was "best for business" to have pressers every now and then and get paid doing it. A few extra points to go towards training or to use in trades ain't bad.

Jay Z I got 99 problems but the Nets ain't one: we have heard rumors of a new jerseys that will be revealed this season, sources say they are designed by some d-bag BidDub81. we have found out that these are new uniforms for the Spurs this year   Is this the year the Spurs get tired of being the Mavs bitch? Will you finally stop taking estrogen and get some bass in your voice? last question is when will you finally die of AIDS?

Eazy: To answer you 1st stupid ass question we do not have new designed jerseys for this upcoming season or in the near future. If we did decide to change our uniform designs we would have a more talented person than a guy named Dub. As far as being the Mavs bitch I don't believe we are the Mav's bitch and don't forget the Mavs vs Spurs 1st round series went 7 games a couple of seasons ago. The Midwest division will be a tough one to win this year for our team but we will try our best to eventually reach that goal. 
I will not die of AIDS because use condoms when smashing these women out here. Sex is good but don't want my dick to fall off because of these dirty hoes.  I was supposed to die back in March and I made it through the draft and will be here for years to come bitch. You should know about beating the odds Reggie Lewis should already be dead asshole.

Do you indeed agree that the Midwest is by far the toughest division in the league? And how do you see the Midwest shaking out?

Jay Z: Big Dog Glenn Robinson learning a new trick with the Spurs. Is it true that he already isnt happy in Shit Antonio?

Eazy: I believe this is one of the toughest divisions in the league, a far cry from the Mid-worst days. I don't know exactly how it's going to shake out but my guess this season may be the usual Rockets/Mavs fighting for the division title but not too far behind and not in any order could be any combination of the Wolves, Spurs, Grizz, Jazz and Nuggets. It depends on injuries and moves made during the season. I think the Wolves are going to be even better than they were last season and that's scary.

Craig Popovich: From the conversation I had with the Team they are all fine. They love the organization and the new direction we are heading.

Craig Popavich: Our plan is to get the best production we can get out of Todd. Last season after Drazen's Injury Todd had a pretty good stretch of games and we think he can improve on that with increased minutes off the bench as our sixth man. I expect this to be his best season since this is his contract year.

Eazy:  We had some teams called and inquire about the services of Day and some making offers for him. As a GM its my job to listen to every offer and if the right one comes along maybe pull the trigger.
