Well right now even if they wanted to rest Parker for just a week right now, they can't. Barry is hurt and you can't roll with a Vaughn/Manu? PG combination.
stoudamire would lead the league in 3 pointers on this team. Vaughn sucks.

starting 5
Manu
Udoka
Bowen
Duncan
Oberto
Bench?
We dont need no stinking bench....
That would be a horrible starting lineup against most teams. Pop doesn't want Manu playing the point for big stretches.
That's why I'm saying if they want to bring in Stoudamire, it's because they are going to either cut back or shut down Parker.
Yeah that was made in more of jest than anything else.
Yeah I know Im not funny but I try.
If Parker is shut down, then just shut the season down all together.
The Spurs team is a tripod.
If one of the legs aint there, no matter amount of whatever is gonna hold it up.
Not Damon Stoudamire, Jacque Vaughn, Beno Udrih, Darius Washington, James White, or whatever.
What if he only need 2-3 weeks off to get healthy.
If that got him healthy? They could prob survive.
Honestly after last year, I think if healthy, this team can win on the road, and starting in the 4th, 5th, or 6th spot doesn't bother me at all.
Might bother other people.
Why don't you just give up now like you did before and they'll turn it around.
You make no since in saying the above statement. Damon is an upgrad to Vaughn, no matter which way you look at it.
You don't think he knows if he signs here, he will have to try to play defense or he'll sit. Pop has that rep and every player knows it. His offense is ten times better than Vaughn. We don't need a savior, just a different spark besides Manu and I think Damon can provide that.
Either way it i don't care, Parker injury is what I'm worried about. Dude doesn't look right and the Spurs go as Parker goes. Rest him now!
Having stoudamire is good for the spurs. We can have another hungry veteran on the team. Plus ! he's eager to play. The team would make good use of him. specially with them going small ball.
Add me to the list of posters who favor bringing back the rotting corpse of Gary Payton before signing this bag. I think he would be a cancer in the locker room. I once saw him yelling at a coach to get back in a game once the PG who subbed in for him got hot and was leading the team to a comeback.
I believe Pop would be wise to pick stoudamire. What he was before isn't usually what he is now. His back is on the wall and a veteran guard like him wouldn't screw his chances of going into a championship team
I think Damon is one of "those lazy guys". They don't want to put in the work like the Spurs do. And they know Pop will work them. Just like Jason Kidd, J. O'Neal etc these are guys who just want to relax and collect a paycheck. They don't want to come to San Antonio. Too much pressure!
lazy or not he has to play , otherwise he wont get hired
Mike Monroe: Stoudamire a Spur soon?
It can't happen until early Wednesday evening, when Damon Stoudamire clears waivers, but it now appears likely the Spurs will sign the 5-foot-10 point guard who on Monday finalized terms of a buyout of his contract with the Memphis Grizzlies.
Stoudamire had expressed interest in signing with both the Spurs and the Boston Celtics, but seems to have settled on San Antonio as his destination of choice.
Spurs coach Gregg Popovich, who doubles as the team's vice-president of basketball operations, can't speak about Stoudamire until he clears waivers tomorrow night. He did, however, express a high degree of interest before Monday night's game against the Utah Jazz in whether or not Stoudamire had officially gotten out of his deal in Memphis.
The Spurs, in need of additional scoring, also are acutely aware of the frailty of their point guard situation because of the injury that has bothered Tony Parker for nearly two months. Parker's explosiveness has been limited because of a bone spur in his left heel.
Stoudamire averaged 7.3 points in 29 games with the Grizzlies this season, but shot only 39.7 percent, and 38.7 percent from 3-point range. He has been in the league since 1995 and has a career scoring average of 13.8.

I like TPark giving up on the Spurs. It almost assures a Spurs championship.
As mentioned in previous posts, the only reason the Spurs are interested is because of Parker's injury. He obviously isn't the same. He needs to rest. Damon Stoudamire could provide some help.
Think of Stoudamire as a Glenn Robinson, but for 2008.
Bring back NVE, I say.
So, it looks like Spurs will sign him.
I'm not a big fan of Stoudamire, I'm not even sure he is an upgrade over Vaughn. I hope Pop has told him that he will get the backup PG spot only if he outplays Vaughn.
Another thing to notice is that it will put Spurs over the tax. The odds of a trade, even if it's only a salary dump, are way higher than before.
Elson for Ot a Harrington...should save about $600K
As are the probability of blowouts.
Follow up article:
"Spurs have interest in laughing at Damon Stoudamire for having interest in joining the Spurs."
Well we do need another point guard. If it means Tony is able to rest I can't complain too much.
It's a possibility among tons of other ones.
Going under the tax is quite easy if Spurs are ready to give up on one of their players (Elson or someone else).
I hope Spurs will find a trade that is more than a salary dump and bring someone who can help Spurs.
