Which Ex-Spur Would You Like to See Back With the Spurs

[BillMc]

Which ex-Spurs (who is currently still playing) would you like to see return to the squad now or in the future?

[Robz4000]

George Hill
Choo-Choo Chucker
:cry Paul George :cry

[Hemotivo]

Scola

[Brian Windhorst]

Here's hoping Tiago stays under 20mpg with pedestrian numbers this year so we can sign him on the cheap this summer

:hat

[dabom]

Drob.

[BillMc]

Drob.

Of course! :)

But actually I meant players still in the league. :lol

[hooperflash]

G.Hill or Cory for me, but for the franchise I'd say T.Splitter because LMA would benefit from that a great deal in the future and Tiago knows this system so well. Guards are not as difficult to replace.

[dabom]

Of course! :)

But actually I meant players still in the league. :lol

:lol

[dabom]

Ghill easy pick. Dude plays like a stud in whatever he does in the Pacers.

[will_spurs]

Splitter by far.

[SAGirl]

G.Hill or Cory for me, but for the franchise I'd say T.Splitter because LMA would benefit from that a great deal in the future and Tiago knows this system so well. Guards are not as difficult to replace.
Tiago unfortunately could not stay healthy for us last season, but he's a terrific role player and complimentary player, and yes considering that Lamarcus is not a great passer, playing with Splitter would help. His defense aside, his passing was very underrated because we already have very good passers in the team. The bench could use his defense too.

Teams with real bigs remind me that West is a PF and not a C, so I had to go with Tiago there too.

Paul George is good, 27 ppg. That`s sick

[100%duncan]

Paul George as well.

[bdictjames]

MARCO!!!!!! MAMMA MIA!!!!! Lol.

[ceperez]

Looks like Ian Mahinmi is carving out a career in Indiana:

http://www.nba.com/2015/news/features/ian_thomsen/12/02/pacers-mahinmi-provides-stability-on-and-off-court/index.html

[TXstbobcat]

George Hill.

[sananspursfan21]

Richard Jefferson anyone? :lol

[benefactor]

Grande Beli

[Cowboys_Wear_Spurs]

Beli, because the Spurs could use him the most at this point.

[Old School 44]

Tiago, then Beli, then Hill. I just think Tiago is the best fit on and off the court.

[DarrinS]

Marco

[steeledl]

I'd go with rasho

[Keepin' it real]

None. Spurs players come, and Spurs players go. That's the cycle of life.

[RD2191]

Cojo.

[loveforthegame]

George Hill

[Maddog]

Belli or Hill
Tiago if he could stay healthy but no

Paul George

[silverblackfan]

George Hill if he would lose the ridiculous new hair color.

[YGWHI]

Spurs D looks so good, despite losing Tiago...On the other hand, Danny's struggling with his shot...that's the reason why people miss Marco.

[Brazil]

Based on what it is missing so far, I'd say Marco

[SpursFan86]

Hill/Green/Kawhi/LMA/Duncan lineup would just be unfair defensively.

[Trueblood]

Hill. We could use a backup PG that is really a PG.

[GSH]

I know you mean players still in the league. But imagine throwing Bruce Bowen into this defensive roster.

The problem with wishing for George Hill is that there was zero chance of having both him and Kawhi. Might as well wish for some of the retired guys, since neither could ever happen. If Hill came back here, it would be at/near the end of his career.

[TDomination]

Tiago for sure. But as a backup. Tiago backing up duncan or aldridge would be nice

[AFMadison]

Based on what it is missing so far, I'd say Marco

[timtonymanu]

Hill, CoJo, and Splitter are the only players I'd welcome back.

[will_spurs]

Marco is not missing at all so far. I know that the low offensive output gives that impression, but again, it's by design. Pop wants it that way. The Spurs game is going to become slower and slower, focusing on great defense and perfect execution on the offensive side. Marco doesn't bring anything to the table in this context.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

no RJ< lol

[LaMarcus Bryant]

Stephen jackson aka Stak5 aka SJax aka Tha Su Wu Nigga

[NameLess Scrub]

1. Tiago - if healthy, so they had a legit backup C
2. Hill - too much too ask, but would be great. I guess realistically it would be CoJo
3. Belli - his offensive game

[jag]

Who the hell voted for Dejuan?

[Cowboys_Wear_Spurs]

Who the hell voted for Dejuan?

PlayBlair. Keeping a low profile of late.

[el contusione]

Difficult to pick one but I would love to see GHill, Tiago, and CoJo back. I have watched CoJo a lot this year since I live in Canada. Man he's worth every $$ Toronto paid for him. He's showing great leadership once he's on the floor. It's great to see CoJo showing the things he has learned from the SPURS. I wish they can all come back but none the else I hope they have a great career.

[GSH]

Who the hell voted for Dejuan?


LOL.

A small precinct in Mass. counted votes after an election. The total was 311 Democrat, and 2 Republican. One old man said, "Well you know what this means?" Another replied, "Yep... some bastid voted twice."

I'm thinking PlayBlair is a good place to start looking.

[T_L_P]

Hill. Loved that guy and he's playing great with the Pacers.

[Mr Bones]

A Hill/Green/Leonard trio would be defensively devastating... would love to see it. It's not an impossible scenario: Hill will be a free agent the summer of 2017, when he'll be 31 years old, and the salary cap is set to rise dramatically because of the profits from the NBA's TV deal. That would make Parker a $15mil back up in the last year of his contract, which could potentially be reworked like the Richard Jefferson contract, making it more reasonable. I can't see the Spurs using the stretch provision, but it's definitely an option.

Considering how poor our 3-point shooting has been this season, Big Balls Beli.

[TD 21]

Exactly.

Obviously, Splitter and Hill are the best players and going forward, post Duncan and Ginobili, would make the most sense.

[Sigz]

Speedy Claxton.

[Dre_7]

Is Nazr still playing in the NBA?

:lol

[Dre_7]

But honestly, Baynes.

who is dumb enough to say Hill? Dude couldn't shoot. Probably worse than McCallum tbh

He's a free agent in 2017, I could absolutely see him coming back to fill the void left by Manus retirement.

lol

[Mr Bones]

Hill has shot 37% from 3 over his career. McCallum:32.7%
Hill's career FG% is 45%. McCallum's is 41.5%

Hill is a much better shooter, and a much better defender. It's not even close.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Is Blair even in the league? :lol

[DMC]

1999 Tim Duncan.

[Uriel]

Scola
Scola thread!

[100%duncan]

Prob lbrn

http://i.imgur.com/WwzBB0g.jpg

Also, this. Only players I'd take back are George and Lebron

[ceperez]

No votes for Mahinmi? He's a starter with the Pacers this season.

[CGD]

Drob.

Man, prime DRob would be amazing in this new NBA.

Of the actives, it has to be Tiago. Second would be Mahinmi who is having an underrated season for Indy.

[DJR210]

Would Beno be an upgrade over McCallum at this point?

[spurraider21]

javtokas...

but seriously, george hill was one of my favorites and still is... that being said, we probably need marco the most right now. or prime gary neal

[SpursforSix]

Would Beno be an upgrade over McCallum at this point?

I think so. He'd be more capable to actually start if TP got hurt.

[SpursforSix]

This is the first time in a long time that they haven't had that extra three point shooter.

Was RMJ right before Neal? It was there a gap?

[Mikeanaro]

Marco.

Agreed (except for the "much" better shooter part). Hill just a longer defender. Caveat, Hill is getting long in the tooth, and was developed in the Spurs system. People always seem to overlook that, like with Cojo playing here four years. Ray was developed elsewhere, and has only two NBA seasons under his belt. Despite that, he has improved his overall FG % in those two years, as well as in his short stint this year, he's at .455 in his ten games. He was also shooting the three well in pre-season. With Simmons just appearing out of nowhere, it has put Ray on the backburner. Parker and Patty both healthy. But, I don't think Ray has done anything to embarass himself, thus far. They're developing him, maybe he gets traded, who knows. At the moment, he's just not needed. Had Patty not been injured Cojo would have never gotten so many minutes and had so many infatuated with him. That was a 10 million dollar dunk, and Canadians love him, so there's that.

[Kineto]

Nando !

[Boomersgold]

Tiago. That on court chemistry he had with Patty, Manu and Diaw made them the best bench in the NBA. Also a good screener. David West sucks at setting screens. I don't think I've seen West make contact with anyone when he sets them.

I don't dislike Ray at all, and think he has potential... someone had said that Hill was a "terrible shooter" and I was debating that. Hill is in the top half of starting PGs in the league now, which is a worthy accomplishment...

[dunkman]

Hill and Splitter, but the Spurs had to trade them to get two all-star players (Kawhi and LMA).

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Speedy Claxton is only 37 :downspin:

[Ditty]

Wasn't a big fan of George Hill when he was here, but my co worker who is one of the local club rats is good friends with George Hill (has pictures with him, Andre Roberson, and Blair at his desk) says that Hill really wants to come back to SA after his contract expires and do everything possible to come back. Also his girlfriend is from the Valley, and I think she wants to be closer to her family also.

Cheers for the info. :toastnIn '17 he'll be 31, still might have some good years on him. Could be a good match at the right price.

[spursparker9]

Cory Joseph

[MAxEric]

Why no T-Mac!!
Non sense poll!!

[Kidd K]

Am I the only one surprised there isn't a sarcastic "Tony Parker" option?

Georg Hill though for me. One of my favorite short-term Spur players ever. He played his heart out every game.

[tholdren]

Toss up the FT % for a PG.

thanks

It was me, he is a terrible shooter, and passer. he would add absolutely nothing to the bench or the starting lineup. He's good with a camera from what chump dumper/chinook have typed.

[TheSullyMonster]

Just say no to Tiago 'my bones are made of glass' Splitter.


Man, prime DRob would be amazing in this new NBA.

Of the actives, it has to be Tiago. Second would be Mahinmi who is having an underrated season for Indy.

DRob would be a stud in any era.

[Sec24Row7]

Leandro Barbosa. 1 because he could help the flow, 2 because it would take him from warriors.

[siraulo23]

Belli, cory joseph, splitter

[rmt]

Belli - our most need.

[G-Dawgg]

I'd take Splitter back... Duncan will be retiring and Splitter would be perfect to have back alongside Aldridge.

[Obstructed_View]

Danny Green.

[SpursforSix]

Danny Green.

:lol
