I am not particularly excited about the idea of Jarret Jack. He is not a good playmaker.
A lot of you probably already know that I've been crying for the Spurs to pick up FA Jarrett Jack. He would be the perfect replacement for Manu and the perfect backup PG to Tony Parker. Jack plays decent defense and has proven to be a clutch performer in the playoffs. He can attack the rim and cause havoc in the paint.
With a little talking and convincing speeches by the FO, what are the chances of the Spurs signing this guy? I would love him. He is 29 years old at the prime of his carrier. If the Spurs can convince him to be our 6th man just like Manu, a future Hall of Famer, he can be our missing piece. What's your take?
Here are a few articles I've found about Jarrett Jacks's value:

He'll be 30 by the time next season starts, and I think he will get stupid money thrown at him. I also expect that if his value surprisingly stays relatively low (circa $7m/season range), the Warrior will let Landry walk and clear some extra room and re-sign him. Both sides have said they would like to re-unite, IIRC. I expect the Spurs to continue to develop DeColo and Joseph in that role.
I think his continuous mid range makes would have been pretty beneficial in this last series TBH. He is probably going to demand more than we should pay, plus will get offered a starting role somewhere.
I think his scoring will help the Spurs but pairing him with Tony makes backcourt really undersized.
Heard him on First Take and the guy was basically salivating at the idea of being NY starting PG but he may get overpaid by another team since NY doesn't have that much flexibility.
I think we would only offer MLE we need to spend our cap room on the best big man available to help Tim.
He's a trash ass chucker who's worth nothing to the spurs.
He's getting paid big $$$, more than he's worth. I don't like Parker-Jack defensively at all (Jack at SG) but offensively it'd be sick. You're also killing two birds with one stone by signing Jack and having him play PG/SG, the depth at SG may be nonexistent next year.
I'm expecting Kawhi is guaranteed to become the 3rd option on this team meaning he'll handle a lot of scoring next season as well as play making, so that definitely affects whoever SA signs. I think we can expect something like 18ppg from him next year.
Yeah because Gary Neal is none of the above.
Did I say anything about Gary Neal?
He's on par with Jarett Jack at this point. A trash ass chucker who's worth nothing to the spurs.
I guess you forgot those long scoreless stretches against Miami especially when we put subs in? That's what Jack could do for us, come in and make some ridiculous shots right on cue when we needed them most. As noted in one of the articles, he was GS's guy to end other teams runs, when they had to have a basket he'd chuck one in. We all know that, he's a tough some bich that has lit us up many times.
Don't the Warriors pair him with Curry all the time?
He would be good in stretches of the game but not for the price tag he's looking to get.
Black hole. He deters Curry and Klay Thompson so bad. Warrior fans cringe everytime he touches the ball fearing he's just gonna dribble the shot clock out and jack something.
wow, jarret jack and neal on the same team.
Two chuckers who completely play off the system 50% of the time.
3 yrs/ 18 million with player option . If he won't take it, him. I want Milsap anyway.
Yes and they struggled defensively.
Not a good fit. Likes to go one on one too much. Gets lost on defense IE Manu three in the second round.
Going to get paid way more than he's worth.
why would we not want this guy? Seriously?
how many threads will thegreatyacht start?
Jarret Jack seriously = overpaid Gary Neal. I'd rather stick to having only one Gary Neal on the team tbh
This comment tells me about your great knowledge in basketball. You're probably one of them peeps that insists on overpaying and keeping Manu. You're probably also one of those peeps that insists the Spurs waste all of their cap space to resign Blair, Mills, Manu, and Splitter.
I don't like Jack nearly as much as all of you. He is mediocre, he is a streaky jump shooter who can't play D and doesn't have the size we need. Right now the Spurs need a little more size, and a player who can create their own Offense. Right about now Parker is looking like the only guy we have who can do so. Tim to a lesser extent, and Manu fell of the map. Leonard needs to work on his dribbling/handle. He is close to being able to create. Jack isn't a bad player, but he doesn't get us where we need to be. I say no.
