Who do you think?

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Paul George

[jsandiego]

Is this another Scola thread?

[Tully365]

Kirilenko...

[daslicer]

Rasheed Wallace

[JohnnyMax]

Kobe Bryant

[K...]

Pretty much all the foreign players who were good on other teams,

[will_spurs]

Karl Malone.

[baseline bum]

Armen Gilliam

[MultiTroll]

Jouana Kidd

[TheGreatYacht]

Jimmy Butler

[GSH]

A lot of players were never realistic, as far as being able to get them here. But there are a few I think could have happened that I wish we could have seen.


Mike Miller, when he was a free agent in 2010. I REALLY wanted the Spurs to bring him. They would have at least one more ring if they had, because he wouldn't have made all those 3's for Miami.

When Anthony Parker came back from Europe, he was the biggest bargain of the off-season. I wanted the Spurs to sign him so bad. Then he spent three years as a starter in Cleveland, for something close to the vet minimum. Spurs really should have found a way to bring him here.

I always wanted to see Duncan get to play with Marcus Camby, when Camby was still at his prime. P.J. Brown would have been a good fit with Duncan, too. Very under-rated by most fans. I think both of those could have happened, at certain points, but Camby would have meant losing someone else - at least when he was still good.

[UZER]

Paul George

They had him and traded him for Kawhi.

[Kawhitstorm]

They had him and traded him for Kawhi.

:cry

[steeledl]

JJ Reddick would have been a great Spur. Wanted him for the longest. He was so undervalued on Orlando for so long he could have been gotten on the cheap. Spurs development would have gotten him to the level he has been with the Clips.

[spursparker9]

Scola
Jimmy Butler
AK47
Karl Malone
Jason Kidd

[KenziE]

Is this another Scola thread?

wahahahaha


---Grant Hill didnt want to play for the spurs tbh

[Obstructed_View]

Karl Malone.

Seriously glad that one never happened. I'd have switched teams before rooting for that piece of shit.

[ElNono]

I always wanted Vince Carter... a Manu/VC backcourt would've been amazing to watch, IMO...

Just imagine Manu making his usual passes to 3rd row, but VC actually soaring and dunking that shit... wow

[SURGE]

Marc Gasol always hated that we didn't draft him had two chances

[DAF86]

Pau Gasol, Marc Gasol, Kyle Korver, Ray Allen, Tyson Chandler, Carlos Delfino.

[SpurPadre]

Nicolas Batum

[sananspursfan21]

SHANE BATTIER

[NASpurs]

Seriously glad that one never happened. I'd have switched teams before rooting for that piece of shit.

What year was that? Shit, I thought I had those memories suppressed or something so it's all a haze. I don't know what I would had done if that faggot had signed with the Spurs.

[SpurPadre]

Andres Nocioni and Carlos Delfino when they were both good.

[Kidd K]

Pau Gasol and Jason Kidd come to mind right away.

I always thought Steve Nash would be a good fit too, but he would never join unless it was before we curb stomped his Suns out of the playoffs so many times.

Who do you think?

I'm glad Derek Rose was never a Spur. I hope he never is either.

I agree with your other two though.

[NASpurs]

Rudy Fernandez, Jeremy Lin, Robin Lopez,

[KawhiLeonard]

Erazam Lorbek

[100%duncan]

Paul George

[SpurPadre]

Caron Butler, when he was still useful.

[Obstructed_View]

Might have been when he went to the Lakers. The Spurs were in contact with him. I'll need to run a Spurstalk search for "I'll stop rooting for the Spurs if they sign Karl Malone". :lol

[LaMarcus Bryant]

We could have drafted nate Robinson

[rasuo214]

Spurs could have drafted Kawhi and Jimmy in the same draft. Cory Joseph probably doesn't slip until the 2nd round pick but Isaiah Thomas was there. Isaiah, Jimmy and Kawhi in the same draft. :wow

Probably would have meant no LMA or a Parker trade though.

[will_spurs]

Seriously glad that one never happened. I'd have switched teams before rooting for that piece of shit.

Yeah that was just a joke.

There aren't many guys I could think of that were a possibility at some point and that I really regret not seeing in a Spurs jersey. I'm glad Diaw found his way to San Antonio as he seemed destined to shine here. I wish Batum had, he would be twice the player he is today. It's also sad that the Spurs couldn't land a decent big man to play alongside Tim during Parker's prime, Marc Gasol would have been terrific.

[SPURt]

Kyle Korver

[Pauleta14]

Nicolas Batum

[cutewizard]

John Wall

[cutewizard]

Drummond, lol

[cutewizard]

Durant

[cutewizard]

Lebron

[Spurs9]

Gasols
Scola
Arenas

[K...]

ian manhinimi

[coachmac87]

JR Smith.

Kid was a stud coming out of high school and obviously had so much talent and potential. Maybe Spurs winning culture and coaching could've got the best out of him..

[Russo21]

Any descent big better than Rasho, Nazr, Elson, Oberto etc. We had some lean years there with TD as the only good big. Those 4 were adequate along with Rob Horry but we went 13 years between DROB retiring and getting LMA. Shit we even tried Drew Gooden at one point. When Duncan was playing with one knee 6 footer DeJuan Blair was our other big. Shoulda coulda got a big man better than those guys sometime after 2003 when Timmy was still Timmy.

[Kikoluna]

Throughout the years I've desired the following to be a spur
JJ Reddick
Zaza
Gortat
Pau Gasol
Ray Allen
Korver

[vander]

Derek Rose? WTF Why?

[spurraider21]

i remember having brad miller trade rumors for like 2-3 years in a row... corey maggette was almost signed for the MLE until GSW threw a lot of money his way

[Twisted_Dawg]

Jimmy Butler
^^^^^Right here, the Yacht nailed it.


Spurs could have drafted Kawhi and Jimmy in the same draft. Cory Joseph probably doesn't slip until the 2nd round pick but Isaiah Thomas was there. Isaiah, Jimmy and Kawhi in the same draft. :wow.

Drafting Joseph because he was friends with R. C'S kid at UT one pick BEFORE Butler is inexcusable. Butler played a year at a community college then three years at a basketball factory called Marquette. What was Corey, a one and doner? I doubet Butler would have had the touches and production he's had at Chicago, so we probably wouldn't have had to give him a max contract. He would have gotten Green's contract.

[sasaint]

Rudy Fernandez, Jeremy Lin, Robin Lopez,

I still have hopes for RoLo to become a Spur.

[mudyez]

[SpursBig3s]

me too.

[timtonymanu]

JJ Redick since the Spurs actually almost had him.

Rasheed Wallace is another player I would have loved to see on the Spurs. I remember the strong interest in 2009 before he signed with the Celtics.

[Parker2112]

Robinson 2.0

[afireinside20]

Danny Granger, Pau Gasol, Jermaine O'Neal when he was still decent.

[Proxy]

Karl Malone.

:vomit:

[Blue Duck]

You guys remember when they were trying to make a deal to unload the admiral for chris webber? I think it was around 2001 or 02. Nothing against Webber, but i was pretty nervous about that one, they sounded close. It was reported during one of the game night radio broadcasts.

[gospursgojas]

Scola, Barbosa, Dragic, Salmons

[Budkin]

JR Smith
Corey Brewer
Corey Maggette
Danny Granger

[Budkin]

:vomit:

I was ready to leave the Spurs fan base for as long as Malone was on the team.

that elbow he gave to #50... I always thought it was weird that he was even considered

[Splits]

John Wall


Drummond, lol


Durant


Lebron

No.

No.

No.

And.... NO.

It's impossible to forget. This was actually the summer of 2001 when C-Webb was a free agent. He said he was tempted to call the Spurs back after they reached out. I don't even want to imagine the fallout if we had let The Admiral get away.

[CosmicCowboy]

Dodged an expensive bullet with Grant Hill. Dude was never the same after his injury. I'm glad Joumana cock blocked us.

Um whut?

[CosmicCowboy]

Um whut?

Joumana didn't want to go to podunk San Antonio so the only way Hill could play with Duncan was to try to get him to go to Florida. Turned out Hill pretty much sucked anyway and never recreated his glory days in Detroit after blowing his ankle.

Jourmana was Kidd's wife not Hill's. You are mixing that up with the Kidd saga.

[CosmicCowboy]

whoops. I stand corrected. It was Hills wife Tamia that didn't want to go to SA though. Thought it would hurt her shitty career.

Hill played some pretty damn good ball in Phoenix. Not like his peak, but he sure gave the Spurs some trouble at times.

[T Park]

Armen Gilliam



*shudders*

[baseline bum]

Nah, that was Joumana again. Hill didn't come here because he was a franchise player in his prime and the Spurs could only offer about $2 million mid level exception vs the $93 million 7 year deal he got in Orlando. The Spurs actually had capspace for Kidd, but Joumana had a part time anchor gig on one of the NY TV stations that she wasn't willing to give up.

[SilverSpur]

Bryce Cotton

[Humberto]

A talented Richard Jefferson and Hard Rick.

[TheDoctor]

Jimmy Butler

[Humberto]

P.J. Crane in his prime.

[ambchang]

Sheed would have been awesome next to prime Duncan.
