The problem with McGuire is, he's not just a sub par shooter, like Brown, he flat out can't shoot at all. Combined that with the fact that he's over 6-7 and on this team, he'd probably be utilized as almost strictly a four, which they don't need.
As for Brown, he'll probably stay with the Bobcats. He's familiar with the team, organization, city, etc. Sure, he'd like to play, but it's not like that would happen with the Spurs, either. We're talking about what would amount to being an insurance policy at the three, like Quinn at the one.
I'd prefer Brown to McGuire though. I see him as more likely to eventually fill a role with the Spurs, as the insurance three/big, because he might eventually become something resembling a half decent shooter.
Short term, however, Peterson is the best option. Unlike McGuire and Brown, who are tweeners, he's a legit three, can shoot the three and is an established player (albeit, he's probably no better than a fringe player at this point . . . which still would make him a cut above Simmons/Udoka). Because the Spurs are carrying 13 and are thin at the three, even though this spot would be utilized as an insurance policy, the clincher is this: In a playoff game, if one of the three had to be pressed into action due to injuries, who would you feel more comfortable playing? For me, it's hands down Peterson.
I want a godzilla!
I'm calm now. Can we buy him out?
