Spurs interested in Anthony Carter

[jjktkk]

Signing another PG with experience would be smart. Especially experience in the Spurs system. Yes, everyone here understands that Carter is old and doesn't have much to offer but rolling into the playoffs with a Manu who can't stay healthy and Neal as the primary backup is asking for trouble. If something happens to either it would be pretty bad.

Don't understand why people don't really understand this. Unless you are one of the 5 people who have been impressed with CJ.

Due to limited options, you have to roll the dice on Manu and Neal not getting injured, so if Carter is the best option, I guess you have to go with that.

Wow, this sucks. Don't want him on the team. He can't even contribute. We are getting older by the second. What happened to putting young guys around our aging stars??? No first RD pick. We have pretty much conceded.

Why would Fisher or Carter be in the game at that point, Park?

Third quarter beginning 4th is when parker rests IIRC.

With a guy like Fisher I'd be back to the days of Speedy when I felt zero drop off between PGs in the game and zero fear of the offense grinding to a halt.

IMO Fisher is steely, scares NOT at all, skins are on the wall to the point where you can get Parker a little extra rest if hes hitting that night as well.

Signing Fisher IMO, is nothing but plusses. Neal is a good shooter, clutch what not, but he's a square peg in a round hole and just does not fit the PG mold nor has it passed the eye test.

Two point guard, two shooting guards and a power forward?

That's taking small ball to the ultimate extreme. That lineup would never get a rebound, tbh.

Set play out of a timeout needing a three to tie.

Thats it. Thats what I meant, apologies, don't want that being run out there for minutes at a time.

If Fisher is hitting, wouldn't mind him next to Parker. if Leonard and Spitter and Duncan are out there.

Sigh.... Another post 2005 Spurs fan.

As painful as it is to watch, the Spurs offense has been great with Neal running the point. Splitter specifically has thrived with Neal.

I don't have numbers to back it up (and I'm not in the mood to try and collect them) but the feel is that a lot of momentum and leads have evaporated while Neal was at the point. And I know that a lot of teams have him gree-lighted for traps when he's got the ball in his hands. They don't do that, to that extent, unless the scouting reports say that he will cough the ball up. That being said, I have to admit that Neal has improved in his PG role, and he's not the disaster he used to be. He knows his teammates, and where to look for them.

My biggest problem, now, with Neal at the point is that I think it costs the team Neal at the 2. When he comes in to run the offense, I don't think he looks like Gary Neal for the rest of the game. And I would guess that his 3p% bears that out, if nothing else.

As for Carter, I don't think there's any way he clears waivers, so it's probably a moot point.

I have no problem at all with that kind of solution

Carter sucks and can't shoot.

what he said

The answer to the "Should the Spurs sign Anthony Carter?" question is simple.....Carter > Joseph. If the Spurs have a chance to get him, they should do it.

Last 3-pointer of the game:

_TD

_Manu
_Neal
_Jackson
_Fisher--(Parker)

If any of those 4 guys get a good look at it I'll take my chances on that.
