Which Ex-Spur Would You Like to See Back With the Spurs

[TD 21]

Based on what it is missing so far, I'd say Marco

Exactly.

Obviously, Splitter and Hill are the best players and going forward, post Duncan and Ginobili, would make the most sense.

[Sigz]

Speedy Claxton.

[DarrinS]

Speedy Claxton.

[Dre_7]

Is Nazr still playing in the NBA?

[Dre_7]

But honestly, Baynes.

[beirmeistr]

good for game-winners

[kuato]

Scola

[tholdren]

who is dumb enough to say Hill? Dude couldn't shoot. Probably worse than McCallum tbh

[tholdren]

A Hill/Green/Leonard trio would be defensively devastating... would love to see it. It's not an impossible scenario: Hill will be a free agent the summer of 2017, when he'll be 31 years old, and the salary cap is set to rise dramatically because of the profits from the NBA's TV deal. That would make Parker a $15mil back up in the last year of his contract, which could potentially be reworked like the Richard Jefferson contract, making it more reasonable. I can't see the Spurs using the stretch provision, but it's definitely an option.

never mind i found the dumbass.

[tmtcsc]

Goran Dragic.

[Richie]

I know you mean players still in the league. But imagine throwing Bruce Bowen into this defensive roster.

The problem with wishing for George Hill is that there was zero chance of having both him and Kawhi. Might as well wish for some of the retired guys, since neither could ever happen. If Hill came back here, it would be at/near the end of his career.

He's a free agent in 2017, I could absolutely see him coming back to fill the void left by Manus retirement.

Hill has shot 37% from 3 over his career. McCallum:32.7%
Hill's career FG% is 45%. McCallum's is 41.5%

Hill is a much better shooter, and a much better defender. It's not even close.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Is Blair even in the league?

[DMC]

1999 Tim Duncan.

[Uriel]

Scola

Scola thread!

[100%duncan]

Prob lbrn

Also, this. Only players I'd take back are George and Lebron

[ceperez]

No votes for Mahinmi? He's a starter with the Pacers this season.

[CGD]

Drob.

Man, prime DRob would be amazing in this new NBA.

Of the actives, it has to be Tiago. Second would be Mahinmi who is having an underrated season for Indy.

[DJR210]

Would Beno be an upgrade over McCallum at this point?

[spurraider21]

javtokas...

but seriously, george hill was one of my favorites and still is... that being said, we probably need marco the most right now. or prime gary neal

[SpursforSix]

Would Beno be an upgrade over McCallum at this point?

I think so. He'd be more capable to actually start if TP got hurt.

This is the first time in a long time that they haven't had that extra three point shooter.

Was RMJ right before Neal? It was there a gap?

[Mikeanaro]

Marco.

Agreed (except for the "much" better shooter part). Hill just a longer defender. Caveat, Hill is getting long in the tooth, and was developed in the Spurs system. People always seem to overlook that, like with Cojo playing here four years. Ray was developed elsewhere, and has only two NBA seasons under his belt. Despite that, he has improved his overall FG % in those two years, as well as in his short stint this year, he's at .455 in his ten games. He was also shooting the three well in pre-season. With Simmons just appearing out of nowhere, it has put Ray on the backburner. Parker and Patty both healthy. But, I don't think Ray has done anything to embarass himself, thus far. They're developing him, maybe he gets traded, who knows. At the moment, he's just not needed. Had Patty not been injured Cojo would have never gotten so many minutes and had so many infatuated with him. That was a 10 million dollar dunk, and Canadians love him, so there's that.
