Robert Horry is apparently making his push to get onto a team somewhere.

I'd rather beg Alonzo Mourning away from retirement than sign Croshere.

I don't think the 15th guy won't see much (any?) floor time for it to matter that much.
Signing Croshere is a must. It means that if Bonner chokes or gets injured Spurs have a good chance of still being a second tier playoff team.
But at least You'd see if Mourning had anything left, shot blocking ability and defending.
If he doesn't you let him slink back to Miami.

What's stopping you?
Not playing pro ball probably feels pretty good after all those years. If he could shoot anymore I'd consider it, but the evidence is heavily against that.
I don't think this can be emphasized enough.
Mourning is said to be only interested in playing with Miami. He isn't a realistic option.
WTF...
So your telling me Horry has less game than Austin Croshere!?!?
Please....
Situational, large frontlines. So it would matter when called upon. And it isn't as though said player would get zero minutes anyways.
So Mourning isn't available. Now what?
I'm telling you Horry was a very poor shooter last season.So your telling me Horry has less game than Austin Croshere!?!?
Please....
What evidence do you have to the contrary?
Well Austin Croshere averaged over 2 boards in 7 minutes a game with the Bucks this year. Oberto is averaging about that in 14 mpg this season.
So even if he comes in the game, I'm sure he'll be fine. He'll grab a couple boards, maybe hit a shot, and then go back to the bench.
I just don't see an athletic, shotblocking, young, agile, tough big available anywhere on the cheap.
You didn't answer the question.
You think Croshere has more game than Horry?
Depends on the player -- that's where the experience factor comes in.
Signing Croshere tomorrow to a ten-day contract would allow him to play six games before the Spurs have to make a decision. If they sign him to a second ten-day contract, he'd be available for a total of 11 games.
It probably can't hurt to give him a look. He may not be a good rebounder but he's a better rebounder than Bonner. I'd prefer a shotblocking big but when you are picking off the waiver wire, finding an NBA-caliber big is hard enough as it is without getting specific of need.
At this point, it's quite possible he has more game than Horry.
I'm sorry, I can't agree with that, not one bit.
yah. there's a pretty good reason why Horry is doing dry cleaner commercials right now instead of playing ball in the NBA.
if he were signed by the Spurs as a last resort, I would feel uncomfortable seeing him behind the three point line.......since last we saw him, he was chunking up board ball after board ball.
Well good for you.
Congratulations.
Is there any serious downside to giving Croshere a look?
The scuttlebutt is that the Spurs are hoping to land another player...likely a perimeter big.
Wow way to act like an adult.
Takes minutes away from Matt Bonner and sends him the signal, we have 0 faith in you even though you've played the best ball of your career.
Unless the Spurs are missing out on signing a 10 and 10 player for the minimum -- I'm sorry, 10 and 8 player who can guard the perimeter and guard Bynum and Gasol and block shots and for the minimum -- probably not.
I would prefer auditioning a couple of D-Leaguers first, but no one has been called up since the Showcase so I guess there's no rush there.
I'd rather take a chance on someone "Young" as opposed to getting someone who will not do what is needed. An exercise in futility isn't what this team needs. At least my proposed option wouldn't be so obviously futile.
