Reply With QuoteOkay now that we figured out Stockton is retired how about we go after MJ?
If he wasn't serious about being retired, he would have gone through the FA process before making up his mind.
He's retired and thats the end of yet another one your stupid fantasies.
Still waiting for the Spurs to gain some interest in Kandi, by the way.

Fair enough, pseudofan. That's all you had to say.
Outside the realm of possibility is different from thinking he wouldn't be a good acquisition.
It's tough to convince players to come out of retirement, but it wouldn't take much to gauge Stockton's interest. The whole point is that he will be okay with staying retired unless maybe a team made him an offer he couldn't refuse. That's why he didn't go the free agent route. He's okay with being retired. it would be the front office's job to get him to come back. That is not unprecedented. Rodman is looking to make yet another comeback for krissakes.
scott, didn't you also want the Spurs to look at Olowokandi?
Please post upr recommendations for backup point guard scott.
Oh wait. You never create or build up ideas. You only try to tear down.
No, I was in the puke-at-the-thought-of-Kandi-being-our-big-FA camp. However, I would have lived with Kandi if he came with a Lamar Odom.
How's this for a recommendation for a backup point guard:
One who isn't retired.
Speedy Claxton would be ideal, but it isn't going to happen. We are looking at a situation where we will either have to obtain a backup point via a S&T with Claxton, or one of the second tier guys. Travis Best would be alright. I have no problems with Scottie Pippen, Steve Kerr and Manu Ginobili making up the 10-15 mpg where Parker would be on the bench.
Another excellent thread, started by Ghost.
Too bad we have homers and knuckleheads who won't take an objective view on the subject, and litter the thread with awful posts.
John Stockton would be an EXCELLENT pick up for the Spurs. He is still a starting quality point guard, who is in excellent health, and never gets injured. He plays with more poise at the age of 40 than any other point guard on the Spurs roster ever will. Of course, I don't expect him to come out of retirement, but giving him a call certainly wouldn't hurt, and the idea in itself is very sound.
You cretins should think before you post.
NEXT.
scott, who do you think would've been our next choice if we didn't land Nesterovic? The same one that was Minnesota's. Olowokandi.

Anyone got Stockton's number?
Given your history of ing and moaning that the Spurs didn't make the necessary personnel moves to win a championship, I don't think you have much room to be criticizing anyone's armchair GM abilities.
But while you are getting Stockton's number, make sure to look up Hakeem's too. I bet he can give us that second tower to rely on.
Stockton and Kerr on the same team?
DYNASTY!
Willis, Kerr, Stockton......
Break out the Oatmeal, Bran Flakes, and Geritol! We gots a game to play!!!
scott, you tugged on Superman's cape. What did I tell you about that.
Yeah, Olajuwon is freshly retired coming off another solid season and we need a backup center.
Keep trying. One of these times you might actually stumble upon a counterpoint instead of the usual pooh-poohing.
You got one thing right- you are like Superman. Except you are paralyzed from the neck up.
His name is Ghost
He likes to boast
But his ass is toast
What is the harm in calling up Stockton?
Question.
Why dont you worry about the lakers finding a young PF to replace Malone after he breaks his hip this summer, instead of worrying about the Spurs.
Go Screw addidas.
No more harm than there is calling Michael Jordan or David Robisnon. If RC has time for a friendly chat, it could be fun.
It's a nice thought -- like hiring Kareem as an assistant coach to take Duncan's game to yet another level -- I just don't see it happenning if Kerr stays and Pop/RC keep pushing the "speed kills" philosophy.
I'm actually pretty comfortable with the idea of taking one of the PGs from summer league, but if we're talking vet PG mentors, Stock or Mark Jackson would be the way to go.
Sure thing TPark, because Malone has been so injury prone throughout his career.
Bring a better take, CHUMP.
[EDIT]
oops, sorry.
Watch who you call Chump....
uh
if you look at it again it is a sarcastic comment
break a hip=old
good lord you laker fans are dense.
He hasnt been injured in the past true, but that CANT continue!
Look at Jordan, never had a serious injury with the bulls for a LONG time, before Washington and had to sit out gobs of time with knee injuries.
Whoops! I wasn't responding to you ChumpDumper. I was only responding to TPark in my previous post. Sorry about the confusion.
As for the Malone to Jordan comparison TPark, Jordan started getting injured because he took 3 years off from basketball. At that age, it's a lot tougher to get started again in playing compe ive sports, than it is to be continually playing the sport and staying in game shape (Karl Malone, for instance.)
It's very difficult to compare the two situations.
:o
Great idea about calling Stockton, Ghost. He's hungry for a le, he could teach Parker a few things, and he could be brought in to steady things if we started to lose control of the game. He would love a le, and would like the laid-back San Antonio environment.
With a player like Stockton, it's worth a call. For as good of a fit as he would be, you must make him tell you no. Why do some of the homers still continue to make assumptions about Stockton not wanting to play for us? Aren't assumptions what got us into this free agency mess in the first place?
damn GW,
I guess our discussion in the other thread about your suggestion that Tim/Tony can be like the Stockton/Malone of old really broke out into a great discussion here.
Go Spurs...
Well, I'm glad this idea received overwhelmingly favorable response by you all except for a few close-minded naysaying cretins.
Popovich should offer some money and a chance to play for a le to Stockton. As a fresh retiree, Stockton isn't going to be looking for work, but if he were to be pursued, who knows if he might change his mind.
Former athletes are particularly vulnerable to wanting to come back around training camp time.
There are lots of players hungry for a le......
I wonder why none of them were beating down our door and waiting in line during the FA period...
TALK ABOUT CRETINS....SSHEEESHHH
I just love people who like to force their opinions on you with a dash of insult. Very mature Ghost.
