Metta is and always will be a frontrunner. I doubt he signs with the Spurs unless no other contender wants anything to do with him.
World Peace getting paid by three teams this season.

Besides some health and consistency, he's the type of player the Spurs are missing to go all in one more time. This team badly needs some edge.
Actually, they do.
Agree 100 percent
I think you definatley gotta take the risk with someone like MWP, if the other options available aren't that significantly better. Who knows if some of Jacko's toughness could have sent us over the edge to win it last year if we would have kept him. You gotta have a crazy bas on the team who isn't afraid of taking hits or pushing players into the stands. Who's the toughest player on our team right now? Jeff Aryes? Which isn't saying much tbh. He may seem crazy, but I think hes a good teammate who would have everyones backs and actually do well under Pop.
I'd take him only if for the psychological edge he brings against players like Durant or LeBron. They don't wanna with Ron
Then again Jackson turned out to be for us his entire second season so who knows. MWP has never been the type to complain about the Jack was complaining about, as far as I can remember
Says alot about both teams.
Says more about the player.
agree. better to have some insanity than be considered soft.
Someone like MWP wouldn't be overwhelmed/intimidated by LeBron/Durant.
Like Granger you take a risk because of their knee history.
Neither was Kawhi or Diaw intimidated by them, without the associated problems. With Metta, you don't know for sure he's gonna be available for the next game or if he's gonna snap at any moment. He's a huge risk, he's much more crazy then Jack. There is a reason all the teams he plays for get rid of him at some point.
He's not a bad person, IMO. But he's completely unrealiable and Pop isn't the best coach to deal with him.
Granger is a different story, the Spurs should sign him for the minimum if available.
Never said they were, but unfortunately they can't always be on the court (foul trouble, etc).
I'll agree though on the risk game to game with him, injury wise. He just had PRP treatment about a month ago.
Metta World Peace (knee) hopes to return to action sometime this week.
World Peace said he’d have his fifth (and last blood) injection to complete the two-week PRP process he's been undergoing in order to heal his arthritic left knee. "I’ m not going to rush," MWP said. "New York City, they rush everything. It’s life. It happens when it happens. Take your time. Relax. Slow down the music. Too much techno [music]." While it's nice to know MWP might enjoy a good Barry White album, he likely won't see more than 15 minutes per game even when he's back so fantasy owners can feel free to look elsewhere.

I don't understand this intense infatuation with Metta World Peace. People only seem to want him because they think he's some tough guy who's going to intimidate opposing teams. But in terms of tangible basketball attributes, this guy has looked done since he had his meniscus removed. The Spurs can do so much better.
I have the same hat. I dont want a ing laker on my team
You ever heard of Robert Horry? He was a Laker and for some reason I never really hated him in either Houston or LA. He became one of my favorite Spurs players.
I feel the same way about Ron Artest. I never hated him when he was with Sacramento, Houston or LA, so I wouldn't have a problem with him on the team. All I would have a problem with is if his performance isn't up to par.
Please Spurs donīt need that re .
Horry still had tread on the tires in 2003 when we signed him. Ron has worn thru to the belts. He's ing done. finis. kaput.
Doesn't he love the spurs though?
Didn't I just say that I would only have a problem with him if his performance isn't up to par? By saying that, the only way he'd get on the team in the first place is if the front office thinks he still has anything left in the tank. I'd rather get their opinion on him rather than yours. If they are serious about signing him then they will have access to his medical records and can also work him out, after which, if they conclude he is done, then they won't sign him at all. If they do sign him though, then I would think that they think he still has some tread on his tires.
If you want someone who'll mess up the Spurs' locker room and frequently clash with Pop on his role with the team, then look no further than Ron Artest. I'd much rather see Stephen Jackson back on the team than have the Spurs sign MWP, tbh.
No more broken horses. Damn the Spurs have had so so many of them over the years.
How do we know he's done? Can't judge it based off his play in the circus where he's coming from. Put him in a better environment and that could be enough to get him to produce. I know he's older than Boris was when we signed him, but even he didn't look so great when he came over from Charlotte.
dats cuz he is a circus... Boris no circus tbh
