PJ Brown

[JPB]

his representative said last month that for the time being, Brown is content being out of basketball and not trying to return.

"I don't think it's something that he is looking to do," Mark Bartelstein said by phone. "There are a bunch of people inquiring about him, but there is nothing (in terms of his interest) right now."

Have/should the Spurs give him a call after the recent trades ?

First, it depends on his shape and his abilities to get back on rythm quickly.
Then, if able to play, he could bring smart, inside defense and rebounding in the upcoming playoff campain.

Problem is you have to get one roster's spot available for him.
So, the only opportunity for Spurs to get him would implies that they'd had already made a trade where they would land one more player than they would get.

If they can get Miller for example for 2 spurs players.

Miller + Brown would be interesting and not long term compromising acquisitions that would be instant contributors.

Ok,
that makes a lot of "if" and "then"...

[Bruno]

If Elson is traded and no center come back in the trade. Signing PJ Brown makes a lot of sense.

A Stoudamire/Barry/Bowen/Horry/Brown lineup could maybe be the oldest lineup ever put on a basketball court. :)

Elson<PJ Brown

[T Park]

If the Spurs were to strike out on Udonis Haslem, I would say try and turn a Elson Barry and whatever for Mike Miller, then go and try and sign PJ Brown.

Pop would have to fly to, wherever he is to convince him, but that would be a good plan B in retaliation to the Suns and Lakers.

[wildchild]

another young and fresh big? :rolleyes

[T Park]

No thats Splitter next year.

Splitter aint comin this year and I'd like to win again this year.

Wouldn't you?

PJ Brown >>>>>>>> Elson, Bonner

[Ghost Writer]

T Park, it's bad enough you have weak takes, but what's with the gay pics on every post? Are you a 12-year-old girl?


PJ Brown is done.

[SenorSpur]

Pass on PJ Brown.

Anyone whose sat out the whole year, cannot be counted on for stretch-drive or playoff contributions. Plus his head isn't in basketball. Sounds like he's mentally and physically retired. Good luck to him.

[wildchild]

No thats Splitter next year.

Splitter aint comin this year and I'd like to win again this year.

Wouldn't you?

PJ Brown >>>>>>>> Elson, Bonner

I'm sorry. I like Bonner. yeah I know awful defense only hustle he's young and needs experience but I have a lot of patience :D I'd like to win again this year, too.

so many trade's threads are the panic button? :rolleyes

Bonner is not the player we thought he would develop into. Hes mid 20s, hes close to being what he is, a decent shooting big man who can rebound once in a while but is so horrid on defense that he will never fit in.

Hes expendable and not worthy of turning trades down for.

You just described Danny Ferry's stint with the Spurs, except Bonner is younger.

[T Park]

Danny Ferry put out a better effort on the defensive end.

Plus Bonner isn't very smart bball IQ wise. Ferry was very smart.

[Ghost Writer]

Effort and basketball IQ?

That's what commentators always praise white players for possessing.

He's "heady".

what's your problem dude? :rolleyes

IQ's white players ...12 years old girl...

don't discriminate on the grounds of age, sex, race or religion on ST.

I call 'em like I see 'em.

T Park is a joker. And so are you if you defend his neo-fascist points of view.

You can't bash Bonner if your were a big Ferry fan.

And I still don't know why he has pictures of teenage girls on every post.

[ChumpDumper]

I would sign him if he wanted to play. I'm sure the market for him shrank a little bit but I wouldn't be surprised to see him sign with someone after the trade deadline.

It's not in the agent's interest to say PJ is desperatly looking for a return i f he ever is.

Just for 3 months. I don't see any problem with that.

[Ghost Writer]

PJ Brown is done.

Next.

WTF are you talking about.

I said his IQ is LOW.

Especially on the defensive end.

Buy a clue troll.

[SenorSpur]

Let it go everyone!

[Dex]

I don't see how an article that starts out about how this guy doesn't want to play ball anymore is any indication that he's on the market.

Grasping at straws, people.

[Ghost Writer]

T Park is heady.


PJ Brown is done.



Try again.

[Holt's Cat]

Spurs had interest in PJ Brown before. It's not like he'd be asked to start, but rather be the 4th big, play about 10 to 12 minutes a game, and give TD a spell guarding Shaq (might as well state it).

Couldn't be worse than Elson at this point.

[JPB]

The quote doesn't say he doesn't want to play anymore.

And you know this because ?

[Ghost Writer]

T Park is white.

PJ Brown is retired and doesn't want to come back.

Any more questions?

Is today opposite day or something?

Spurs are not going to go after a guy who doesn't care about playing anymore. Hell, why should we want them to?

Could Spurs be in the hunt for P.J. Brown?
Wire Reports
Tuesday, February 26, 2008



In a surprising development, Marty Burns of Sports Illustrated is reporting that P.J Brown, a 34-year-old power forward who has been living in Louisiana since finishing out his contract with the Bulls last season, has backed off his previous decision to stay retired and is now seriously mulling an offer to join an NBA team.

"The Hornets are widely assumed to be the front-runner, but the Suns, Mavs, Spurs and Celtics also could be in the hunt. Bartelstein, who also represents Brown, would not specify which teams had made offers, but he did say Brown had undergone a change of heart and was now weighing his NBA options."

San Antonio tried to sign Brown to a free-agent contract, but he opted for the Hornets at the time. Gregg Popovich and R.C. Buford have long been fans of Brown's defensive abilities and rebounding.

[ChumpDumper]

Highly unlikely.

1. It never hurts to drop the Spurs as a potential suitor when trying to elicit the best possible offer for your client.

2. Brown as frontcourt bench depth would be nice.

[td4mvp21]

Maybe it's similar to the Artest thing. Because if we were to sign Brown, that would mean no Barry, right?

[ChumpDumper]

Maybe the Spurs are trying to cockblock another team, but it doesn't seem like there would be much for PJ to do here.

[remingtonbo2001]

Why now?

Would someone mind explaining the purpose of signing Brown.

I figured Duncan/Oberto/Thomas/Horry was good enough.

I guess I'd be for it, but would it be at the expense of Barry?

Or is this PJ trying to draw interest from other teams?

[Holt's Cat]

Keep him from another team, make his price higher for a rival, and/or insurance.

[ChumpDumper]

When has the agent of a player considering more than one team NOT mentioned the Spurs?

[JPB]

[QUOTE=Holt's Cat]1. It never hurts to drop the Spurs as a potential suitor when trying to elicit the best possible offer for your client.

Agree.
Could have made sense before we landed Kurt but probably not anymore.

[JPB]

I first bumped this thread for the naysayers.

[T Park]

Signing PJ Brown would be awesome, but he wouldn't get much time.

If it's claiming that Brown in 34, maybe this article is 5 years old...

[Que Gee]

He is signing with Boston today...

[SenorSpur]

If Brown is 34 years old, he would have just satisified the Spurs FO age requirements for free agent consideration.

"No free agent players signed or trades made for any players under the age of 34."

[cash459]

He is signing with Boston today...

where did you read that? :wtf

[G-Nob]

And why do we need PJ Brown? Is it because we haven't filled the 15th?

[naico]

yup he signed with Boston

http://www.bostonherald.com/blogs/sport...ion=recent

[picnroll]

So Boston was waiving PJ at Barry to entice him.

[stevenger]

He is at the age of my grandfather:) He cant give anything to Boston Celtics.
