Spurs should sign Reggie Miller

[kris]

Yes, he's old, but I bet he can still play and it would be a win-win situation because he has a strong desire and the Spurs need a veteran leader. You know he's not out of shape and Reggie would still hit a 50% clip on the Spurs. He really likes Pop and I think he believes defense is key to winning championship.

When everything breaks down and the Spurs have nothing to show for the offseason headed into training camp, why not inquire about his services for the veteran minimum?

Low risk, high reward.

the spurs do not need another veteran leader?? and play him above michael finley?? i dont think so.....and he thinks defense is a key to a championship...reggie miller doesnt cant play defense...high risk, low reward

[Darkwaters]

I agree. Those young players like Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili, Robert Horry, Fabricio Oberto, Michael Finley, Brent Barry, Jacque Vaughn and Bruce Bowen. Clearly they need a veteran presence to calm them down.

[Solid D]

Fine with me but I don't think he would come out of retirement.

[ChumpDumper]

He's 42 in a month.

Next.

[Fabbs]

As color play by play of the Silver Spurs.

[Solid D]

Or....you could go find Tyrone Nesby.

:p:

[Marcus Bryant]

I'd rather see them make a run at Devin Brown if they need another swingman.

[timvp]

The Spurs could put Reggie on IR and all year they can try to "Win it for Reggie!".

[zrinkill]

I heard Larry Bird is a free agent

[kris]

I didn't know he was 42 - thought he was late 30s. Still, I can think of worse 12th men.

he is reggie miller...he doesnt want to jump on the bandwagon to win a ring...especially being the 12th man..which means he really did nothing to win the championship...it would only tarnish him through the eyes of the pacers..and thats all he cares about..best pacer to ever live..he has to live with that

[Brutalis]

Dude can't play a lick of defense... next

[CubanMustGo]

Like we don't already have enough creaky three-point specialists? Brilliant.

[mando6599]

Or....you could go find Tyrone Nesby.

:p:

Or..Popeye Jones

[bdictjames]

HELL NO.

Miller would ruin the chemistry. But if he was begging for a chance to have a ring with this team along with a very small contract, then why not.

[judaspriestess]

:lol :toast

[SenorSpur]

How about no risk, no reward?

[Fabbs]

for someone who was out-matured by Kobe Bryant in the 2000 Finals.
next.

[cherylsteele]

I heard Larry Bird is a free agent
Screw it....bring back Ice!

[angel_luv]

:lol

so where do u get your drugs from?

[Borosai]

No.

[Duncanoypi]

^Reggie Miller...

[Brutalis]

Ew you must be a snitch.

[RogerIsEatingASandwich]

Reggie won't come back.

[Trainwreck2100]

It will keep him out of the broadcast booth so i'm all for it.

[Avitus1]

The R in Reggie stands for Retired. Take a hint.

[SenorSpur]

Let's evolve past the latest "lets bring back the next old, retired guy and win him a title" suggestions.

[BeerIsGood!]

Shit, if that's what it takes to light the PO fire and get the Spurs to dominate I say pick up an old, decrepid, title-less lost NBA soul and let it motivate.

They won the 99' for DRob!! (although DRob was a huge contributor it got the monkey off his back)

They won the '03 for Willis!!

They won the '07 for Finley!!

Who's next?

Wow I know you guys really want to get your lines in, but this one takes the cake as the worst. Talk about forcing it.

Anyways, I mispoke on the 12th man thing. Coachmac or whoever it was is right - Reggie has too much pride to be a 12th man and that's not what I had originally thought of him as anyway. I was thinking more like a Brent Barry role.

[TradeManu4Kobe]

[Reggie Miller]

1. Reggie played decent defense when he was younger. Obviously, that was a long time ago, but I couldn't let that one go.

2. Reggie will never play for any other team; he has made it abundantly clear for many years that he is a Pacer for life. Reggie wanted to be among the last players to play their entire career with one team.

3. Reggie could have jumped ship at any point after 2001-2002 season, and never did so. Of course, the Pacers were a good team (for EC) until the 2004-2005 season. Man, talk about retiring at the right time!

The Pacers have always been my favorite team, since I grew up in Indiana. However, they are completely unwatchable right now. They haven't been this bad since the mid '80s. Just painful. I feel sorry for the team that ends up giving a max deal to Jermaine O'Neal.

[kris]

Friendly Bump to see if any opinions have changed.

[exstatic]

No. He's still old. Besides, he shoots FTs at WAY too high a clip to ever be a Spur.

You may not want to sprain that shoulder patting yourself on the back until he actually signs somewhere.

[IceColdBrewski]

I never voiced an opinion in this thread. But considering that Reggie played horrid defense even in his prime, I'll pass.

[ggoose25]

the barracuda should stay retired

I'm not even sure, he's what the Spurs need right now anyway, but I got the :lol/:donkey from some of the posters on my idea when it really wasn't that far fetched.

If he plays for the C's, he gives them a huge boost in the playoffs. I hope he signs so I can go for the green in the playoffs this year.

Boston > Mavs :oink

Spurs > Lux Erie Attacks :greedy

[Findog]

You guys should bring back Zarko instead:

Look at the motherfucker, he's drawing a triple-team.

[BronxCowboy]

Isn't George Gervin a free agent? Or maybe Larry Kenon (he's still alive, right?)

[Obstructed_View]

Is Reggie a point guard yet?

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Wasn't there already a thread on this topic way back in June?


























Oh wait.

[zapanther]

u are a dumb ass....go shout trashcan b-ball!!!!!!!!!!!

[duh_suns_fan]

Reggie is gonna sign with the Suns!

Our ratings are going to be even higher and we will score 140 points per game!!

The Suns are going to Save the NBA!!!

[byrontx]

It's great to be champs at something. Right, Suns Fan?

[Spurs16212]

I think Reggie would go to an Eastern Conference team if he came out of retirement... key word: "if"

[TheAuthority]

ROFL @ this thread

[jay014]

johnny moore?

[remingtonbo2001]

Isn't George Gervin a free agent? Or maybe Larry Kenon (he's still alive, right?)

I think Larry is selling automobiles somewhere in town.

[Indazone]

Just sign Latrell Sprewell, the man is only 36

[Hüseyin Ilkin]

Reggie ? Ohh..
Not fit for us.Because we are the old roster,Duncan-Bowen-Horry-Vaughn..
And Reggie is 42..
Another reason,Manu and Finley play for No.2 and well job for us.Reggie reduce to their time..

[Capt Bringdown]

How many Reggies have played for the Spurs?
Wasn't there some dude named Reggie Johnson back in the 80's?

[rayray2k8]

fuck it, might as well become the oldest team in the NBA since i get the feeling that the spurs arent gonna do jack shit now.

[Dario]

I read somewhere that boston wanted him and he said he is giving it a thought.

[GSH]

To hell with Reggie Miller... the Spurs should re-sign Steve Kerr as their ancient 3-point specialist and veteran leader. I don't see any reason why Kerr can't play for the Spurs and be GM of the Suns. He already proved that he can wear two hats and keep his objectivity.
