He is not doing himself any favors in that regard by going scoreless in several minutes of garbage time. he is still a of a passer at least
I hope to sign for next season, you are saying?

He looks bad on with the youth movement
I'd much rather see Bertans and/or Hanga, tbh. He'd be keeping one or both off the roster.
I believe that playing will yield significant minutes, yesterday saw more active than in other times, yesterday every shot I take people got up from their chairs. I would like to see him one more season already knowing the system.
If he wants, and will accept his limited role, yeah why not. Not that Spurs are going to sign couple new guys.
If we aren't going to re sign Neal, I think he'd be a great option for 10-15 min off the bench.
Neal added a few million to his deal last night. I wouldn't want to pay him even Danny Green money, but if we let him go we'll need someone in the same mould who can actually handle the ball. TMac would be a perfect fit if he can accept that role.
I for one hope the Spurs sign him. He is a great distributor of the ball like Manu from the Top of the key and arc areas. You know Manu is going to get injured sometime next season and have reduced minutes as well. McGrady can fill in for those spells and minutes.
And not scoring, well, its hard to score when teams are doubling you because they don't want you to score b/c these teams KNOW the SA crowd is just dying to see TMac score a bucket as a Spur.
Ironic that TMac wanted to team up with Duncan and Hill to potentially become champs and it took TMac more than a decade to finally come to the Spurs and play with Duncan to make to be on the verge of finally becoming an NBA champ.
Also, I don't think TMac is even looking for his own shot. Blair on the other hand it coming in and shooting every time he touches the ball, McGrady seems happy to keep the ball moving in the Spurs system even in garbage time
McGrady will retire. The Spurs will sign someone like Casspi or Carroll to be backup SF. unless they trade up to get a SF/SG with size.
He's not looking for his own shot, can't knock him for that.
And say what you will about James (he was likely gassed at that point), but the first play TMac was in, he crossed James over and took him to the hoop (got Blair an easy bucket after the defense rotated to stop TMac).
I can't believe you made THAT'S your username, OP...

seriously guys
McGrady is, what.........0-for-12 in point shooting as a Spur? Still hasn't scored?
Uh, no. TMac makes a great team mascot, I hope he gets to score in one of these games, but the notion of bringing him back next year is ridiculous.
Sure seems like McGrady is auditioning for a role next year by being a good facilitator in garbage time. I would love for him to hang around, if for no other reason than to help tutor Kawhi Leonard on offense.
Leonard doesn't need to learn how to brick shots, he's doing fine on his own
If he's good with Kawhi let him sign as a coach, but we need our players to be able to play. Tmac is done.
You're an idiot. He averaged 32 ppg in his prime and Kawhi already said he's learned lots from Tracy. Plus Mcgrady is doing damn good a the point. Stupid stupid post
Did you watch McGrady at all last night? He's playing damn good at the point.
Between Joseph, Mills and DeColo, I think the Spurs have adequate depth at the garbage time PG position.
And if he pulls a Neal/Green esque Thursday? Nobody turns a bad shooter even if he is old or unfit.
He's better than them all. Joseph should get more playing time to gain experience but Tracy is the better distributor period.
Mcgrady playing the point? It was painful to see him moving up and down the court. One of my favorite players of all time, but he's done; even Mcgrady, himself, knows he's done. He can't score, can't move well, isn't athletic enough to deal with the current generation of players, and lacks confidence in his own abilities. Sure, he can make the occasional highlight-worthy assist, but, tbh, that still wouldn't win him the point guard spot.
No, he's not. Not now, not next year. He'd still be sitting on the couch at home had Stephen Jackson not made up his mind to piss away a pretty good situation. Nothing personal against the guy, I don't mind him being here now, but you're getting way too excited about about him picking up a couple of garbage time assists against Miami's scrubs.
