Where is the "we don't need another old guy " crew at?
This, and I'm not excited about it at all, because he's just going to be another black hole at SF in a long line of them for us over the past few years....Quote:

Get KG also. Although he scoring 2 pts, 4 rebs like-a-perkins, but he can't be worst than error.
If he wants a chance to ring, he'd sign up. Remember when Glenn Robinson and Tony Massenburg joined up for the free ring? I wouldn't mind Pierce on our roster as a bench guy, certainly couldn't be bad at all. Vince Carter proves that older superstars still have a place in the NBA off of the bench.
Pierce is not a small market guy...he would sign with the Heat before us......
Parker
Manu
Pierce
KG
Timmy
for one last run?? lmao
Rambo>>>>>>>>>>PP
Only if that other dude agrees to bring his talentz to South Tejas.
and is Jet still available?
Great player, hope the Spurs sign him.
I totally agree. He primarily would be backing up Kawhi and will only be playing 15-20 minutes a game. This isn't like the '08 -'10 Spurs were the Spurs had old guys starting and old guys backing them up. The old starters are backed up by young guys and vice versa.Quote:

KG is so doneQuote:

On the cheap he would be a great option, but who does he replace? It's always good to have shooters, but where does he fit in the rotation?
IMO, Joseph wouldn't get any minutes and Manu minutes would be reduced even more. that would give Pierce like 20 minutes a game. Spurs play a 10 man rotation in the season and Joseph would be the guy to be dropped from the rotation.Quote:

But ElNono, why would Pop play a 37 year old so many minutes when Kawhi is so young? It doesn't make sense, tbh.Quote:

Now that we've seemed to have moved into serious territory with this thread, I'll say no. The last thing the Spurs need is another player who Pop would play instead of Leonard or Green. A player like Marion (a legitimate small-ball four option) is one thing. But at this point, the team does need another player who wants the ball like Pierce does, especially one of such fading ability.
Yeah Manu and Pierce would be a bad combination anyway... I also think that the off season strategy in general depends too much on what's gonna happen in the WCF to really predict anything at this point...

If the Spurs do make a go at him, I am sure they would tell him exactly the role he would have before he would signed with them. This probably is not going to happen, but I wouldn't be against it if it did.
fits the spurs m.o. tbh. they like to hire players during their twilight. wasn't shaq considering a move here at one point, or was that just a thread I read?
He's only 37. That's to young for the spurs. Maybe in a couple of years when he's 39 and in his prime the spurs will be able get him... provided he's gotten over himself.
