maybe Nailon wants to come back to Texas. I dont know how much money the hornets have left, but Nailon would be a good pick up for the spurs in my opinion for the back up SF position

What are your thoughts?

[ace3g]

he also might be looking for a larger contract than what the spurs can offer him

[exstatic]

If the Spurs are going with someone a bit long in the tooth, I'd rather it be 32 YO Big Dog. Nailon falls into the Eddie Robinson bin: someone that would have been nice to sign and develop 5 years ago.

[Marcus Bryant]

As a 12th man, sure. He doesn't have the 3 point range you'd like in a prospective backup 3.

[ace3g]

yeah I just noticed that to Marcus, so he might not be a good pick up after all; the spurs need their SF to play on the perimeter to make space for duncan to post up.

Big Dog > Press On

[ace3g]

as long as big dog gets back into basketball shape for next season. I want him to look like the big dog we all knew back in the day when he was a spur killer playing for the bucks

[exstatic]

He actually wasn't in bad shape, all things and his layoff considered. He's never been a gazelle on the court.

[Marcus Bryant]

Yeah, give him a full season to get familiar with his teammates and get his timing back and he will be rather deadly in the Spurs' offense.

I think the Spurs wouldn't mind having him back. I think they are muting their interest to help keep his market price down.
