A (relatively, due to injury) unfit guy, that hasn't played in over 6 months would not be able to keep up with Amare.
We have to acknowledge that it was Malone who held the Lakers together last year. As Pop says, he has the entire package, he would bring a certain leadership on and off the court. A guy like him would be good in fourth quater meltdowns and stuff like that. So he has played foul earlier, but on the court emotions do run high, and he never done anything too serious to be pinned at. If he can improve the spurs, then we should go for it.
Well if you play him, that changes the rotations quite a bit. Pop has said repeatedly that Malone doesn't want to go anywhere and just play spot minutes.
When Malone comes, he's going to start.
Period.
Geeez and I thought Chump could be ing dense.
You're stupid. No, you're worse than that, you are by far the stupidest person I have ever encountered on the internet...and that's really saying something. Words cannot describe...you are just stupid. Please never post to me again, ever. I feel my IQ being syphoned off just by being in the same thread with you. I am afraid of you. Go away from posting life and never bother me again. Please...I beg you. Put me on ignore. But just...go have your debates with someone else.
I want to argue with someone or something that has at least a shred of common sense..like a brick...Not someone who seems to be the absolute embodiment of just unrelenting stupidity and incomprehension and the total lack of realization of it.
This will not be the last time someone tells you you are stupid...it will happen again in your life, many times, and they will be telling you the truth...
Just one of these times please consider that they just might be right and that you are indeed stupid.
Only then will your recovery begin.
And when you do finally realize just how stupid you are, I hope you will have the true strength that your incomprable stupidity subs utes for now. If you don't..I sincerely fear for your health. Then again, maybe you are better off just staying stupid. Maybe this is natures way of protecting you...Disregard all that I just said, other than the part where I told you to off and said you were the stupidest person I have ever encountered.
You have my deepest stupidity...er sincerity. And you are on ignore now. I am sorry, I said I would never do that to anyone...but I don't want to catch what you have.
But if he;s gettin' minutes, it's because he deserves them. If he sucks, Pops not oing to play him. Pop doesn't care who he is.
He stopped playing Steve Smith in '03, he didn't play Brent for a while. He doesn't care who you are, if you're not bringing it, you won't play.
If Malone is getting a lot of minutes, it's because he's producing.
I'm glad it took you an hour to think that up and then type it. Feel good, because I didn't read a word of it. I'm done with your stupid self. Just go back to praising the Coyote and leave the grownup talk to everyone but yourself.
Like disco, I'm done.

I agree with LJ. Bad chemistry mix to bring him in now.
Why do you think that? Coach Pop tends to favor Duncan playing PF.
. Keep the le kryptonite away from this team.
I was against this from the moment speculation started this summer. If Malone had announced his intentions then, and been solidly a Spur from the start of the season - been in town and attended games and practices like the other injured reserve players, then it would at least show he was being respectful to this team and this city.
But the way he's handled things to this point has been shameful - it's almost like he's trying to see how much he can get away with and still have a team pick him up.
his constant need for attention, his drama queen at ude, his lack of clutch performances in the biggest games, and his rapist past.
At this point, the only reason I could see the Spurs actually signing him is if he gives the clear indication he'll sign with a team the Spurs see as a legit threat in the post season.
Nice point: Malone lost in the NBA finals three times!
If Malone comes he will be on the floor with TD in crunch time. Personally I'd love to see Paker and Manu running pick and roll with Malone.
Most people don't want Malone because he is filled with Jazz/Laker Blood. 2 things that are hard to accept by any Spurs fan.
Nothing more, nothing less.
Step back from the ledge Whottt. Superstars do have a say in organizational issues, superstars also are the reason why other decent players sign with teams in free agency. If I was Pop, I would take Timmy to every meeting I have and I would also pay for his 3 meals a day at the restaurant of his choice. Timmy made Popovich and Popovich knows it. Michael made Phil Jackson, Akeem made Rudy T. The only coach who made himself is Larry Brown, he doesn't need anyone and his ass will probably quit this summer.
This is a player's league, period. Remember when David took out the full page ad in the Express News because he was sick and tired of sitting in airports for hours? He called out Red McCombs to buy a plane.
The Spurs have had their share of characters just like any other team, however the leadership was always available to keep the balance on the good side. Thanks to David and Tim.
Late.
open your eyes people, malone is just what we need. why?
1) he is mentally and physically tough
2) he will be an inforcer on D and will be there to regulate on hard fouls; who better than malone to guard a shaq, r. wallace, kg, amare......malik, rasho, marks, who??? FACT: during 2003 2nd round series against spurs shaq avg 27ppg...i thought malik(many think he was awesome that yr) was one of the best shaq defenders.
3) he is a good free throw shooter
4) he has an awesome mid range jumper
5) he husttles and overall he loves to play bball and i think that we will play for SA for atleast 2 seasons. we will love him then cuz thats how fans are.
It is disturbing to know that you all think that malone is a thug, im sure he is stuborn and y but overall outside of bball he has comported himself as a gentleman.
on the court he can play dirty but if you have some bball experience you should know that in the heat of the game u will do what it takes to win, and theres also times when you can loose ur mind and do something you will later regret. (ask sjax)
think about it people, these guys get paid bank and they have so much added pressure that sometimes you just loose it(aside from my fav TD).
it is mistake to judge people by how they play on the court, ex TD is criticized for being quiet and all that bs, im sure he's not like that out side bball. also Rasheed, on the court he just seems like a thug but ive read so many articles of how good he is with kids, community, and his fam.
so please dont judge malone by what he did to drob... happens...again ask Sjax.
so accept malone with open arms and he will help deliver a few more rings.
trust pop, RC, and TDs decision they have made the spurs the best franchise on planet earth, so why start doubting them now. Dont forget this is a business and their goal is to present us with the best product they can put together. just imagine if we were in the Warriors/Hawks current state...how would you feel then.
Malone hope you are in.
Complete and utter horse . Malone has never, ever come through when it mattered most.1) he is mentally and physically tough
I'm sure the woman er... girl he sexually assulted in college would have a different opinion.It is disturbing to know that you all think that malone is a thug, im sure he is stuborn and y but overall outside of bball he has comported himself as a gentleman.
One incident doesn't establish a pattern of behavior. I'm judging him on what he's done to many opponents (Isiah, Hakeem, Robinson, more), the fact that he never shows up when it matters most, and that he's handled this situation this year like a tease playing hard to get, instead of like a man.so please dont judge malone by what he did to drob
in 1989??One of Pop's first moves was signing Vernon Maxwell
If not, Pop came on in 94 and Vernon was signed in 96 97.
I can understand that in a Spurs forum, only the fact of mentioning the name of Karl Malone can iritate some posters.
The thing is that he is one of the players who hurt the most badly the hopes of Spurs fan during the 90's. But the he still is one of the all-time best power foward.
Sure today he isn't any more what he used to be, but las year he was one of the main reasons why the lakers had eliminated the Spurs.
I don' understand why some posters say that he will mess up with the chemistry. He was one of the reasons why the Lakers remaind focus on the le and that Kobe and Shaq relationship didn't screw up the entire team (it was certainly not GP).
Another silly thing that was apointed is that he will give bad luck to the Spurs.
I don't believe in bad luck, the main reason why Malone didn't win a le yet is Jordan.
Overall, Malone can be useful to the Spurs that is maybee a little bit too short in the frontcourt (at least if Rose doesn't play like he did against LA).
To my mind, the whole Whottt's theory about the end of high character era is unproven.
I don't know how you can say that DR team had more good guys than the current team.
It is funny that you try to discart any importance of Pop. I don't believe in the hand of god, Bufford and POP had the luck to have two franchse player who are nice guys too (one in the navy and Duncan who stayed in the university for the whole four years), but they have picked guys like Manu, Parker, Beno who are good players and nice people too.
The fact that Spurs are trying to get people like Woods is irrelevant to say that POP don't care about having nice teamates. One of the most impressing things about the Spurs is that in this team even players who are thought to be "s bags" behave like nice people (Sjax is an exemple).
But you most believe that people who have done some mistakes are unforgivable. Don't you think that you have to see why their behaviour is wrong instead of condamning them? Can't you see how disturbing is to grow as poor kids and then have all the money in the world. That's why we have so much luck to support a team that has hired this bunch of good guys.
karl malone is just one of those guys you either have to love or love to hate. we all love to hate him.
Amazing how one signing of a player, can turn a "quality franchise"
into the trailblazers.
Complete and utter horse . Malone has never, ever come through when it mattered most
dumbass...DROB was also a big choke, didnt Hakeem use him during his MVP yr, how many championships did SA have b4 TD???.
malone led the way for LA to make it to atleast the finals, and sadly dont you recall how great he played TD in the post. last thing we want is for malone to play for MIA or even MIN
good thing pop will do whats best for the team!!! , i trust him

There's a difference between signing a second year player nobody wants that has a history of not understanding the team concept to a low-risk dealeven players who are thought to be "s bags" behave like nice people (Sjax is an exemple).
and
signing a veteran who has a long established history of borderline criminal behavior on the court and who has been jerking the Spurs around all season.
If he wanted to play here, he should have just said so, and then done his rehab in San Antonio to bond with the team and get to know how things work here. At keast you could respect that he really wanted to make an effore, like he did in ellay. But the way he's done things so far this season is bull .
Some of you need to snap out of it. The Spurs have signed aging Spur killers before who were nothing more than le chasing s. Remember Kersey? Porter? Willis?
Also, man, Robert Horry is a Spur. Robert ing Horry.
There are plenty of reasons to be opposed to such a significant change this late in the season, but spare me the crap about how we can't have a 'Spur enemy' wearing the silver and black.
If Malone plays in last years finals, the Lakers win it.
Simple as that.
Had Malone not reinjured the knee vs Minnesota, they wouldve beaten detroit, and would probobly be going for number 2 this year.
Malone was pretty much the reason they got by the Spurs last year too.
His defense on Tim Duncan allowed Shaq to roam the paint and shut down the Spurs interior offense.
So IMO, Karl Malone brings what he brought LAST YEAR?
The Spurs will be ok.
When will be known if Malone sign for Spurs??? Today, tomorrow???
