Latest buzz: RJ, Shaq, T-Mac, more Marc Stein

[Indazone]

Amazing how T-Mac is already washed up at his fairly young age.

[Muser]

Shaq would only hinder Tiago's transition into the NBA.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

I wouldn't be opposed to adding a bruiser to the front court but there's bigger fish to fry at the SF spot and do the Spurs really need one more big whose minutes need monitoring?

[4>0rings]

but can he spread the floor and miss wide open 3 ponters?

but can he spread the floor and miss wide open 3 ponters?

That's what we re-signed Matt Bonner to do.....

I guess we could alway make De-Juan blair guard the Yao-Mings and the Dwight Howards in the NBA.... lol

[yavozerb]

how about mcdyess for brandon bass?
also when are why going to sign our first round draft pick james anderson?
What about Rasual Bulter for spurs?

I was thinking more Mcdyess for posey...Just a thought

[coyotes_geek]

how about mcdyess for brandon bass?

Why would Orlando do this?

also when are why going to sign our first round draft pick james anderson?

Sometime before training camp. There's no rush.

What about Rasual Bulter for spurs?

Hopefully the Spurs are going after him, but he might not be affordable.

He needs to learn NBA game ASAP

[wut]

ok I know this is going to sound funny, but he would be worth the $2 million just for leadership/spirit/fun in the locker room.

There are times when we lack that Mario Elie type of player who has the balls to get into people's faces and stir up some spirit...I think Shaq could provide that kind of leadership that at times is lacking.

Plus, just imagine Shaq and Pop together answering questions from the Press....that alone would be worth it.


I dont see how it would hurt Splitter's progression having a 2nd legendary player next to him giving him advice. Shaq would get the Robert Horry treatment...(as in barely plays during the season, but let him go all out in the playoffs).

Also, imagine how Blair would progress with Shaq's help...we all know Blair's abilities are very similar to Shaq (albeit a shorter version).

[Basketball Power]

Spurs could really use him going up against the Lakers

[Obstructed_View]

I'd take Shaq for vet minimum on the off chance that he decides to show up in shape.

[spursfan1000]

Since we already know Jefferson is coming back to the Spurs, im interested to see where Shaq and Tmac land. I'm guessing T-mac goes to the Clippers and Shaq to Atlanta.

That's your first post?

That's really easy to say when it isn't your money.

It's not the age, it's the mileage. Players like Kobe, KG, and TMac that came in at 18 have as many miles as a four year older player who played college ball. Kobe's got the miles of a 70s era 36-37 YO.

Lance Armstrong has the mileage but was still going strong. T-Mac might still have the chance of a Grant Hill like comeback. Probability is low though.

[Danny.Zhu]

LLE, get me Shaq.

Atlanta already said Shaq was no longer in their plans. The best opportunity for Shaq to win would be with the Spurs.

[RiverwalkParade]

Shaq to SA would be a win for the vet min.

[dbreiden83080]

, is known to be willing to pay Shaq more than $2 million for next season.

Thanks to his ex wife he probably needs the money..

[FilSpursFan]

I prefer this

[lotr1trekkie]

Shaq is in denial. He has no value to a compe ive team, except as a sub. If he actually needs almost 1 mill a month to live on he has a problem. Spurs don't need any prima donnas. Ditto McGrady.

[Zelophehad]

Since these guys are dying to stay in the limelight they should have all these old out of shape guys from multiple sports train together when they don't get signed and film a crappy reality TV show about it. Every one who thinks he can still play, like TO, Shaq, AI, T-Mac, Canseco, etc.

They could call it "The Comeback Kids" or "One Last Night" or something insanely awful like that.
