    I'd love for Bruce to come back, either as a player or assistant coach. I know he probably doesn't have much left in the tank, but with a roster as stacked as ours, all he'd need to do is play a bit here and there and save himself for that last run at another ring. As an assistant coach, I'm sure he'd be an asset teaching defense.

    I agree. If he can no longer play well, I think he'd be a great assistant or defensive coach.
    Bruce has explicitly said he doesn't want to coach after her retires.

    I am willing to venture to say that Williams is the most expendable player under contract for the Spurs right now and if there is a chance for Bruce to come back, he will be the one to be let go before Hairston.

    That'd be great. But why do we have 7 bigs?

    Not getting my hopes up. Wherever he goes, I hope he gets to contribute.

    And I hope it's not in our division.

    I guess Pop and RC feel you can never have too many bigs? I think we may have gotten carried away but I understand where they see a need to keep Tim fresh and add another presence next to him in Dice, but I really am more concerned at the SF position. Evidently, RC has said that Haislip would play some SF so maybe that is the reason why they don't see a need to justify bringing back Bruce if they have a much taller player guarding the Dirks, Gasols, and Kevin Durants.

    I think Bruce will be back eventually, but I don't see the FO in a rush to go get him until someone on the current roster doesn't pan out as they planned. I guess we will have to see how Williams and Hairston pan out?

    The Spurs better ing bring Bruce back. You don't find people you can effectively stick on Kobe every day.

    I don't remember exactly, something about the amount of time the job consumes and how he'd rather be spending the time with his family.

    Then you take minutes from Finley and Mason and don't ride Jefferson to death.

    I'd support that.. just put him in "when required" but don't let go of any of the young guys, unless it's obvious it's not working out. ( ala Tolliver)

    Bruce lost his status as a starter last year to a 36 year old Michael Finley for a reason... he had gotten older, had lost a step or two, and was just too much of a liability to have on the court. This is not a criticism of Bowen. He did a great job as a Spur, but everyone ages and must eventually move on. It happened to Russell, Jordan, Bird, Hakeem... and now it has happened to Bruce. Given the go-ahead to spend money by Peter Holt, RC made the right decision-- he went out and got a younger, more athletic small forward.

    Wouldn't mind him coming back. Never thought he'd play in another uniform either, though.

    If Bowen's the liability of the two why did his playoff performance trash Finley's?

    Bowen at 38 is still better than 90% of the perimeter defenders in the league.

    You noobs need to recognize....
