Spurs need to give Antonio Daniels a call or find a point guard fast

Thanks...

What about Marcus Williams.... wasn't he playing point forward with the Toros? He knows the Spurs playbook right?

I think he is playing in China right now.

I know that Almond is in the D league. that's why I wrote d-league as well as free agency. I was talking about PGs from the d-league. and that a decent SG will be easier to find at this point than a PG. and that I would play Manu at PG and hire one of the available SGs. and considering that McCants is (was?) a pretty decent defender for quick PGs, I thought it could be an interesting option to play him alongside Manu at SG. of course I can't tell about his shape but I assume the Spurs will invite him for a workout before they think about signing him. usually a 25 years old player doesn't lose shape as fast as someone who is 35.

Most D-League PG are actually combo guards - Shakur, Karl, Anderson, Temple, Pruit, Jefferson, Johnson, Robinson, Gaines, Crawford, etc. Also true for SGs. The more talented ones are generally handling the point. There's a reason why there have already been 20 or so call-ups this season and Almond is still in Maine - you don't look for volume scorers in the D-League. That's basically reason why McCants is still looking for a job: I like McCants potential, but he has lots of bad habits - including taking plenty of defensive possessions off and playing undisciplined offence. McCants is a good project to sign in the off-season, put him working with the team coaches the entire Summer, play him in the SL team and then, maybe, maybe, he can become a serviceable role-player in time for the playoffs. To use tomorrow, I'd rather use a role-player who has the game of a role-player, who can defend, handle the ball a bit, start the offensive set and hit the occasional open shot (as opposed to hoisting a shot everytime the ball finds the way to his hands) - and for that give me a D-League PG over McCants or Almond.

And I doubt McCants is anywhere near game shape. He'd probably get into it in 2 months or so. 1 year without playing (and not even being around a team) is a lot of time, no matter your age or the seriousness of the injury.

Hill is a sg and Mason is most def not a pg

You're Stupid! Clippers 88 Spurs 118 G.Hill 14pts 11assist in 29 minutes.... looks like a a great point guard stat line to me!
