The Spurs should have two goals the rest of the off-season. Add another combo-forward and a veteran ball-handler.

At his age and with the success that he's had I think he'd shut up and put his head down and listen to the role that Pop tells him to play. His numbers suck for the minutes he played but that team overall sucked. He can still defend and bully guys, he's crazy so that adds an element of toughness and he can play in the post/shoot a 3 pointer in spaces.. He's not offense but a boost in defense and length. Again, all about how much he would cost to us..
Kind of a weird guy too, would be interesting to see where he would be around town and where he'd shack up.
To backup Leonard, why not. We need some nasty, and at least we know he's not afraid to get in someone's grill.
Stop right there. I think it is pretty clear by the fact that they cut him loose that they were never after him, they were after offloading RJ's contract for next year. It was never about Jack. His salary worked.
Ah, did not know that. Thanks Chinook.
Well , I think this is quite likely then. Would be much less of a get/fit than AK but still can defend most 3, 4 and 5s. Would have to work on his three.
Still AK, AK, AK is all I want right now. Let the stars align please!
But there was risk involved. Yes, the deal was about getting rid of RJ but they still were going to have to pay Jack a significant amount of money and they knew there was risk involved in that with all the issues he had in the past. It was far from a slam dunk he would behave.
Another spurned Laker joins the Spurs?
Another eccentric Laker?
Another tough defensive power forward?
Who can also shoot threes?
Another Robert Horry?
Did that really happen?
Maybe we can use him to coax Pau to join San Antonio next year, lol.. Grasping at straws.
Pretty sure it was in an interview.Did that really happen?
If he can accept an off the bench role then not bad.
No thanks.
^and cheap price
...and he didn't. Not exactly a clear path to the Spurs acquiring his crazier buddy.
Perhaps...but as I said MWP has been pretty well behaved with Houston and LA and has always spoken fondly of Pop and Duncan.
I'm not doubting that he's interested, I'm doubting they are. He is legitimately crazy, to the point where he should be on medications, but refuses.
I actually agree with you on this front.. for the role that he would be playing on the team I think he'd give it his all.
There really wasn't that much risk involved. The Spurs were on the hook to pay someone that $10 mil salary this year. They had obviously decided that RJ was dead money, so what difference would it make if they had to cut SJax shortly after the trade making him dead money too? They still got out from under RJ's 13-14 salary, which was the entire motivation to make the deal. Having to cut him would be a non-issue, and any actual on court production they could get out of SJax was just a bonus.
In that same vein...there isn't much risk with MWP either and potential on court benefit could be huge. There will be next to no one involved in the bidding and he will be had for cheap. If he becomes a problem, you just let him go.
I think the Spurs are done with head cases.
doubt he will want to come off the bench, unless he's desperate about winning
He was slow as last season .moves around like a stiff. Most likely the knee but if healthy why not!? Spurs need crazy.like rodman era
I like it. I think MWP could deliver the knockout blow we need to stop LeBron and the Heat.
Dude has lost a lot of value the past couple of years with some black hole play on offense and well-below-his-standards defense by generally slowing down laterally. But he can still defend the post and play small ball 4.
