if the spurs can have any player who would it be

[vna411]

what player from the nba should join the spurs. any player so the spurs can win one of these

[birdy219]

Without question.............LeBron James.....by a wide margin.

[tomtom]

id like to see andre miller

[Biggems]

Amare Stoudamire......He would thrive in Pops system. He and Duncan together would be downright nasty.

[baseline bum]

I'd probably take Wilt or Jordan.

[timtonymanu]

Dwight Howard - to help Duncan in the inside
S-Jax - S-Jax could start and Ginobili comes off the bench. They would kill.
Jose Calderon - Parker's back-up.

[Kamnik]

I would say Dwight Howard or Lebron James.

DH would take the 5 slot or LB could be betwen 2/3/4.

Personality wise and longterm DH would be better for team chemistry.

[outmap]

Lebron James - Now.
Dwight Howard/Amare Stoudamire - Longterm.
Jordan - All-Time.

[pauls931]

Amare Stoudamire......He would thrive in Pops system. He and Duncan together would be downright nasty.

Only if you promise to loan us Duncan the following season.

[Kamnik]

I dont get why people mix Amare here.... he is not even a top 15 player in the NBA...

[BronxCowboy]

No love for Andrew Bynum?

[SenorSpur]

Lebron James is too easy of an obvious choice. Besides, I'd be too worried that he's spend most of his efforts trying to get to New York or LA.

No. All things considered, my choice would be Greg Oden - hands down. Imagine the second coming of the Twin Towers. Oden playing alongside Duncan would mean it would be damn near impossible for the opposition to score in the paint. , the Spurs would likely again lead the league in opp FG% defense and other team defensive statistical categories. Under the coaching of Pop and the tutelege of Duncan, Oden would be afforded the opportunity for an easier transition into the game and virtually ensure the possibility of another 10 years of Spurs dominance.

Off the court, he seems very coachable, very community-oriented and less likely to be enamored by the brighter lights and glamour of some of the bigger markets - meaning he be more likely to stay in San Antonio his whole career.

From what I've seen of him so far, he's humble, funny and doesn't seem to take himself too seriously. He'd be a far greater personality fit than any other young player I can think of. He would carry the torch of "big-man" excellence started by D-Rob, some 20 years ago. Pop would probably coach another 15 years.

Good choice.

Oden will be better than Dwight Howard in the long run. And he doesn't have the emotional baggage of Amare. And y'all know I think Bynum's the best thing since sliced bread.

As good as DHo is, he lacks alot of fundamentals. Amare has good fundamentals but worries too much about his "aura"

Both Oden and Bynum will be better than Amare and DHo as early as this year and at latest next year.

[benefactor]

I would also agree with Oden...depending on the status of his knee.

[SenorSpur]

What are you smoking? He is the best scoring big man currently in the NBA. He can hit shots from 18 feet and in, he is quick, strong, athletic. He might not be the brightest when it comes to talking about opponents(I am speaking mainly about calling Bruce and Manu dirty) but he can score, and he can play some good D, at least when he isn't guarding Tim Duncan.

But if we could have any current player, I would say LeBron right now, but I really like Beasley. He seems like the closest thing to a all around player I have ever seen. He can shoot, he can go inside, he can finish with both hands, he is left handed which does give him an advantage if you ask me. And he weill just be a beast in the NBA in a few years.

I would like Oden because he plays back to the basket, and could just dominate, but from what I have heard durring that pre season game he was showing fatigue within 6 minutes of play.

It's his first extended action in over a year. That wont last long.

[ducks]

james would not fit in with the spurs
he would want to much money
because he wants to make the most and does not care about rings

Amare in 2010!!!!

do it Amare!!

[Texas_Ranger]

Superman or Amare.

[DPG21920]

Are you guys mental? It is without question Lebron. Whoever says he does not care about winning is stupid. The guy took a team to the finals with no help and is by far the best player now and in the future outside of Tim and Kobe. Not only is he young, but he is a winner (got to the finals, won gold) and fills a positional need for the Spurs at SF. This is a hypothetical so do not talk about money and other things.

Parker
Ginobili
Lebron
Duncan
Oberto

Way better than Howard, Amare, Oden and Bynum. Lebron is and will be better than all of those players no questions asked.

[Xylus]

Both Oden and Bynum will be better than Amare and DHo as early as this year and at latest next year.

Give me a break.

You're not serious.

[dirk4mvp]

Give me a break.

beat me to it.

[DPG21920]

They will be good (Oden & Bynum) if healthy, but Amare is one of the top 5 big men now and Dwight is as well. They are both young and are in elite status with regards to stats and they are getting better. Say what you will about skill, sometimes being big makes you good enough.
