How much does Devin Brown have left in the tank? (Possible sf/sg backup)

[mute]

As the title says, how much does Devin Brown have left in the tank? I mean he's only 34 years old... his athleticism couldn't have left him that quickly. Also, he's from San Antonio too (kind of like Derrick Rose). I think he would be a great pick up for us. He's a solid all-around player that can hit the three ball. Plus, he's veteran with a ton of playoff experience (including NBA finals experience). Do you guys remember how short our bench was last year because everyone was so inexperience? Besides, the big three (Green and Kwahi)... no one else showed up, so our starters never got any blow.

EDIT: Obviously, the Josh Smiths of the world are already signed, but it doesn't matter. We need key bench players... for the love of God, can just have one bench player that WONT GO MIA in the playoffs? Our starters need to rest, and the front office gave away the only guy on our bench that had any balls (Gary Neal). Actually, he reminds me a lot of Gary Neal.

34 is very old for a wing player who hung his hat on his athleticism and hops. He's also like 6'5", undersized for the position.

[Two10Whitey]

Saw that dude in HEB last month. Looked out of shape.

[SpurPadre]

I've said it before and I'll say it again: NO. MORE. OLD. FUCKS. Especially when they're career scrubs.

[barakz21]

Was done 3-4 years ago tbh

[tim_duncan_fan]

He was awful as a young player, tbh.

[DJR210]

LMAO Devin Brown. Do some emo Spurs fans really think we are in such a state of emergency that we should consider trash like this?

Well if we still had Paul George we wouldn't be having this discussion.

[T Park]

No Devin, you can't get a training camp invite asking here in this forum....

[mute]

Tell me exactly who on our bench will step up during playoff time? Cojo, Nando, Tiago, and all of them went MIA... in MIA. We need players with some balls and won't shrink under the spot light. Why not pick up a solid defender/scorer to provide some depth at the sf/sg position? He has playoff experience.

Don't forget Boozer.

When did Devin prove he would step up in the playoffs and handle the spotlight? I still remember his play when he tripped and fell and handed T Mac that ball to complete the damn 13 in 35 seconds, basically gift wrapped that feat lol. Thats the last I remember of him here. In the 05 title run how much did he play? I am betting very minimal to say the least, hardly remember him later that year in the playoff run. Once again he has playoff experience from the bench. He is older than T Mac too, think about that.

[NickiRasgo]

Serious question. What happened to Devin? Last 2004 he seems serviceable and then on 2005, he was on the bench.

[look_at_g_shred]

This thread is just too much...

[TVI]

I'm still pissed that we traded him and Boozer... :downspin:

Deeeeeemmmmmmmmm he got fat!

[barakz21]

He was actually decent in 05, then he got injured. Hence, the sitting on the bench and the signing of Big dog Robinson as insurance.

I see. he got injured. I was really a fan of him last 2004 considering he's still a rookie that time. Like Neal. Oh well atleast he got a ring last 2005.

[cd021]

I literally forgot he existed.

[Darkwaters]

No

:lol only on ST do we pick on a random regular season game inwhich we went on to win the title....im sure there are worst things that have happened, like having no bench and guys would have balls and can create their own shots... hmmmm yall would rather we have some miracle comeback, followed by a miracioulous shot to win an important game... oh wait

[barakz21]

Yup, I remember a lot of people were actually high on him at that point. Not sure about ST though, since I didn't get here until 2010 and by then DB was already on the downside. IIRC it was a herniated disc that sidelined him but I'm not sure though. Then he got traded the following season to Utah. And I remember reading a Spurs related article poking fun at him after his introductory presscon at Utah, because he said he was gonna bring a winning attitude to the team and apparently his work ethic the previous year wasn't very good, something like being late for practices and stuff. But, that's just my recollection of things, I could be wrong. I'm definitely lazy enough to not look for proof. :rollin

Go away you idiot, he is older now and nobody wants him back on this damn team, period sir. What did he do in the 05 playoffs I will bring up AGAIN??????? What run did he give us in a title run? I can't think of one moment, okay.

it takes at least 1 full year to learn the spurs system... see parker, tiago, and ginobili (same with danny green), the only exception was kawhi and duncan, but even kawhi stepped up big in the playoffs with his hustle, rebounds, and steals

Okay give me Devin Brown then in 05 again I will take him! You said he had playoff experience sir, but would that not mean he had to have some good games in the playoffs to actually contribute? He has had how many he did contribute then? In 04 I thought he would be good and in the future have some game, he was a huge part of that 04 comeback against LA in that game 5 before .4, then boom.......... He showed alot of potential then but the next year not much and then after not much on other teams even. What playoff experience does he actually have?

Gotta agree with Sean Cagney on this one. As far as I remember, he wasn't on a playoff team where he was a contributor. And those teams were most probably 1st round fodder at best (don't ask for proof, too lazy to look up). He MIGHT have become a key contributor on that 05 team, but he never really got to do anything since he missed some time due to injury.

[xmas1997]

Is he even still playing professional basketball?
IMHO his time has come and gone by now.

[Leetonidas]

Fuck no. If that asshole hadn't tripped over nothing like a retard in 2005 T-Mac would've never won that game for the Rockets. That's my main memory of him

[illusioNtEk]

lol I know most wont believe me... but I balled over him at Lifetime fitness at Stone Oak about 3 years ago.... I don't see how he can be any good in he NBA... I'm 6,3 and he had a hard time stopping me

[superbigtime]

Wow that is laughable. Does he even HAVE a tank. No thanks!

[Richard Simmons]

desperate spur fan is desperate

[TXstbobcat]

He's old and done as an nba player.

[manustarting2gd]

Lock pls. Why even entertain? Might as well see if Robert Reid is available

[SenorSpur]

It must be the dog days of summer.

[chrhawk]

I'd rather see the Spurs make a move for Royce White. I think he can contribute as a combo forward.

[chrhawk]

oops forgot the blue font. oh well

[ginobilized]

he could be the missing piece to put the team over the top

the toros, though, not the spurs

[ChumpDumper]

he could be the missing piece to put the team over the top

the toros, though, not the spursNot even them. He couldn't stay on the Erie team more than four games two seasons ago. What makes anyone think he could stick on an NBA team now?

[dunkman]

The Spurs must add a legit NBA player for the role because it's increasingly important to have a good SF rotation.

[Big P]

How much left in the tank? The drunk tank?

[snickles]

i love the offseason

[SpurCharger]

He is Still Alive??

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

34... oh yeah, a 34yo SG (we need a SF) who was marginal to begin with, he's the answer! :lmao

[SpursChampsIII]

He's playing softball at Time Warner Park. My daughter hit one over his head and he was getting it from his teammates. They posed for a picture after the game...real nice guy, but I doubt he has the stamina for the NBA anymore...few do.

[xmas1997]

Guards Bibby and Telfair are being worked out? Why?
We need guards like we need a hole in the head.

[Darius McCrary]

I'll never forget when I saw him play a few mins of mopup duty back in his first year as a Spur. When he was on some BS 10 day contract or something. LOL. Devean Brown.
