For a big chunk of the San Antonio Spurs fan population, the team can't have too many bigs.

Tim Duncan is still the anchor on defense and can still post up every now and then with Boris Diaw and Tiago Splitter backing him up or playing next to him. Other than that, the Spurs aren't considered to have much depth.

The remaining players (DeJuan Blair, Matt Bonner) are one dimensional players and their negatives are seen to outweigh their positives. Bonner is seen as strictly a three point specialist while Blair is an undersized power forward who just looks to cut to the basket (doesn't even set a pick in a pick and roll either).

In some fans' minds, any big who can play defense and rebound is always a plus for this team so there might be some fans who will be disappointed to hear that Ronny Turiaf was considering putting on a silver and black uniform along with his French teammates Tony Parker, Boris Diaw, and Nando De Colo.
