Could Presti buy Malik Rose out So he returns to San Antonio?

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

No one really knows what the guy has left in the tank but who would welcome Rose returning to the Spurs via a buy out?

The Thunder might get a few more ducats out of it if Rose agrees to a buyout so he can sign with a contender -- perhaps returning to San Antonio.

[ChumpDumper]

If I don't know what he has in the tank it would be kind of dumb to welcome the move.

And why start another thread?

[HarlemHeat37]

Malik Rose is done..I'd rather have Mikki, Joe Smith, Rasho, or even Pops..

[Chomag]

I really don't think he would not fit well with the Spurs current team make up. Spurs are way to small as it is let alone signing a 6 foot 6 Power forward.

[coyotes_geek]

We all liked Malik, but he's got nothing to offer this team.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Like I said, I have no idea what he's got left. I guess not a whole lot based on the response this is getting.

[HarlemHeat37]

while he has nothing left on the tank, I'd still rather have him as our SG or SF instead of Finley..

[cnyc3]

i bet he can guard shaq better than bonner

[Behrooz24]

Do not want

[K-State Spur]

i bet he can guard shaq better than bonner

who cares? do you really think the suns are a threat to the spurs?

He did a great job of fronting Shaq in the '99 playoffs.

"Tina's here; we're getting back together!"

[nkdlunch]

Jesus no.

Malik should have retired along with DRob

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

What about Chris Mihm? He's had a tough time of it lately, but he's a 7-fter who tries hard and he knows the Lakers. We could do worse.

[coyotes_geek]

If Mihm gets bought out, he's got to go on the wish list too.

[Jayem3]

why the fuck would you want malik??? why do you guys get so attached to players??!? "no we cant trade manu,,,i love him..etc"

manu needs to GO! bowen and finely too. mason, hill..etc should of been on the chopping block too. SPURS REALLY DROPPED THE BALL ON THIS TRADE DEADLINE!!!!

[Mal]

We need to get size. We have enough undersize C`s

[nkdlunch]

Pops >> Mihm

[crc21209]

I dont see why ppl are hating on Malik so much, he brought hustle, intensity, boards, and some points when he was here. It's not like he's "finished" like most people say when he never fucking played in NY. EVER. So as far as big men are considered Joe Smith is out there, Pops is out there, Mihm and Rasho if bought out, and Malik now.

[crc21209]

As far as the list goes I think it should go in this order of who the Spurs could/should get:

1. Joe Smith probably
2. Lets see what Pops can do
3. Rasho
4. Mihm if bought out or Malik

What are you, 12?

STFU you moronic child.

And he has a mean pump fake.

[Holt's Cat]

Fuwking Spurs fans.

[HarlemHeat37]

I think you'd have to get Mihm if he gets bought out..

he isn't good or anything, but he obviously knows the Lakers..he plays against Gasol and Bynum in practice, so he obviously must know some of their moves and counters..if we don't sign him, I think another West team would..

Chris Wallace wouldn't release him though, since he knows somebody would use him for knowledge against LA..

[Bartleby]

I think the smart move is to sign Pops to a 10 day contract and see which seven footer becomes available, with Rasho at the top of the list. I like Malik. He's a good guy, but he isn't what the Spurs need right now.

[cnyc3]

who cares? do you really think the suns are a threat to the spurs?

I don't write any team off :toast

[coyotes_geek]

Malik did play hard, and he hustled. I appreciate that. But as of today he's a 34 year old 6'-6" power forward who doesn't give us anything we don't already have.

1. Rasho
2. Mihm
3. any other NBA player over 6-10
4. Pops
5. anyone else
6. me
7. Malik

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Just out of curiosity, wouldn't rose be able to guard David West or Dirk better than pretty much any other player on the Spurs?

Maybe, but thats not that big of a priority anymore seeing as their teams aren't that good anymore.

[SenorSpur]

Sorry folks. Chris Mihm is no longer available.

Chris Mihm could be bought out, but Pops >>>>> Mihm, hell

anything >>>> mihm

Mihm makes Mahinmi look like Cal Ripken, Jr.

i don't think it's hating on malik. i think most people here respect what malik gave us (i know that i do).

but you're talking about a guy who was undersized and undertalented, but made up for it with hustle and athletic ability. he no longer has that athletic ability. he's been flat out terrible (no other word for it) for 4 straight years now. limited minutes at times...but still terrible.

+2

Malik was a good energy player. I don't know how much he has left. However, the Spurs big problem is size. They don't have enough size to contend with the taller frontlines of the Western Conference (Blazers, Mavs, Fakers.....mainly the Fakers). At 6'6", Malik simply doesn't address that issue.

Go back to Phoenix where you can kiss your Phoney Suns collective asses all day long. You Suns fans have got to be the biggest losers on the planet. And change your team affiliation on your profile back to the Phoenix Suns. We here in Texas ain't got much use for you impostors.

Malik will never play for Pop again after Malik set Pop up for a big raise and then went into hiding after he received it. Then after Pop traded him off Malik pouted and acted like a child. He is now over the hill and still collecting big bucks. Malik's career is finished.
