Rudy Fernandez, Jeremy Lin, Robin Lopez,
Pau Gasol and Jason Kidd come to mind right away.
I always thought Steve Nash would be a good fit too, but he would never join unless it was before we curb stomped his Suns out of the playoffs so many times.
I'm glad Derek Rose was never a Spur. I hope he never is either.
I agree with your other two though.
Rudy Fernandez, Jeremy Lin, Robin Lopez,
Erazam Lorbek
Caron Butler, when he was still useful.
Might have been when he went to the Lakers. The Spurs were in contact with him. I'll need to run a Spurstalk search for "I'll stop rooting for the Spurs if they sign Karl Malone".![]()
We could have drafted nate Robinson
Spurs could have drafted Kawhi and Jimmy in the same draft. Cory Joseph probably doesn't slip until the 2nd round pick but Isaiah Thomas was there. Isaiah, Jimmy and Kawhi in the same draft.
Probably would have meant no LMA or a Parker trade though.
Yeah that was just a joke.
There aren't many guys I could think of that were a possibility at some point and that I really regret not seeing in a Spurs jersey. I'm glad Diaw found his way to San Antonio as he seemed destined to shine here. I wish Batum had, he would be twice the player he is today. It's also sad that the Spurs couldn't land a decent big man to play alongside Tim during Parker's prime, Marc Gasol would have been terrific.
Nicolas Batum
JR Smith.
Kid was a stud coming out of high school and obviously had so much talent and potential. Maybe Spurs winning culture and coaching could've got the best out of him..
Any descent big better than Rasho, Nazr, Elson, Oberto etc. We had some lean years there with TD as the only good big. Those 4 were adequate along with Rob Horry but we went 13 years between DROB retiring and getting LMA. we even tried Drew Gooden at one point. When Duncan was playing with one knee 6 footer DeJuan Blair was our other big. Shoulda coulda got a big man better than those guys sometime after 2003 when Timmy was still Timmy.

Throughout the years I've desired the following to be a spur
JJ Red
Zaza
Gortat
Pau Gasol
Ray Allen
Korver
Derek Rose? WTF Why?
i remember having brad miller trade rumors for like 2-3 years in a row... corey maggette was almost signed for the MLE until GSW threw a lot of money his way
^^^^^Right here, the Yacht nailed it.
Drafting Joseph because he was friends with R. C'S kid at UT one pick BEFORE Butler is inexcusable. Butler played a year at a community college then three years at a basketball factory called Marquette. What was Corey, a one and doner? I doubet Butler would have had the touches and production he's had at Chicago, so we probably wouldn't have had to give him a max contract. He would have gotten Green's contract.
I still have hopes for RoLo to become a Spur.
