Yes!!!!!!!!!
i would love him here. hes a great influence to our young guys and has a wide knowledge of the game. im definitely okay with bring him back.
One more year playing for the minimum I have no problem but only to play minutes here and there.
Give big minutes to Ian
I say bring him back. When you've got 7 rings on your fingers, you're en led to a second shot after a bad season.
If he wants to come back into the fold for the minimum, I say you do it. You know he already has great chemistry with the guys, Tim in particular, and at the very least he could be a solid locker-room contributor in a Kevin Willis / Tony Massenburg type role.
Best case scenario, he has a couple moments next season that prove that last season's struggles really were a fluke.
I agree whole-heartedly. I know that we are trying to get younger, but when you can get a veteran with Horry's experience for the minimum - you have to do it. I believe that Horry will bounce back and have a much better year.
If there is a roster spot available, I have nothing against re-signing him.
You might want to edit the post, it's an AP article.
Sorry. Thanks for the heads-up.
Oh, and I'd love to see Horry back if it works for the team. He brings a winning, vet savvy that I think is invaluable.
Please No!!! Retire already. He will only take minutes away from Ian.
No problem. I'd hate to see ST get in any trouble, where would I hang out?
I hope he gets his shooting touch back and really plays like its his last year in the playoffs.
Here's to you Rob!
There are worse options than Horry, and he could help Ian. But I think I'd rather see the Spurs do the difficult thing and say good-bye. My main reason is a complete liability on offense and can not spread the court like he used to. For the LLE, I'd rather see Foyle, Benson or Javtokas as a 6th big. But whatever, it's the 6th big.
Adonal Foyle?
Foyle SUCKS.
Minimum. Wouldn't count against the cap.
Javtokas isn't coming to the damn states anyways.
The Spurs aren't in a position to let him go. They don't have enough talent to do so.
That's just awesome. He is a Spur, no doubt.
We ARE allowed to quote a player, even if the quote is in an AP story, right?
I would say no but that would be tough knowing everything he has accomplished in the NBA.
Agreed, we should have forced a transition to youth last year by playing Bonner much more - even if he didn't get the defense immediately, he would have hopefully limited his errors with more playing time. This year, we really need to work on transitioning to younger players. A rotation of 6 bigs has 4 guaranteed contracts already
Duncan, Oberto, Bonner, and Ian.
This leaves 2 spots for bigs.
We have the rights to the following players
Sanikidze, Gist, Javtokas
We have Bird rights on
Horry and Thomas.
Thomas was much better than Horry last season, and we have his bird rights so that the signing wouldn't cut into our use of the MLE and LLE. It is therefore we will likely sign him as perhaps the best FA big man available for lees than the MLE.
Duncan, Oberto, Bonner, Ian and Kurt
One spot left.
If Ian is on the main team, then either one other big is in a suit or playing for the Toros. Playing for the Toros is better, because the player will improve given minutes. Horry can't go to the Toros. Any of Gist, Sanikidze or Javtokas could...Also, there are other FA's who might be available and worth looking at. I would suggest Nick Fazekas, who played last year with the Clippers and a tiny bit with the Mavs. He rebounds suprisingly well (rebr 19.1, Knickerblogger.net) and has quite a jumpshot(efg% on jumpshot .409 with not threes, 82games.com) for a big...He'd also likely be cheap (like the vet min for 2 years guaranteed).
All this to say that there is no roster spot for Horry...
you bring horry back period. i see him taking on a player/mentor/coach like role. if any guy can gain one tenth of horry's Bball IQ, it's all good.
Since the Spurs got no immediate help on the perimeter in the draft, they'll need every bit of the MLE to get some help.
Because they also have a need at F/C, it would be prudent to bring Horry back.
Caveat: Horry should earn minutes based on his performance.
I know I'm in the minority here and this is a "hornets nest" type of topic. But did anybody watch Horry's performance last season? If we're going that route, let's bring back Finley and Stoudamire too.
Sorry folks. Let's all stop living in the past. Horry has been a wonderful contributor and fantastic pro, but it's time to turn the page. THe Spurs can ill-afford to waste roster spots on guys that can only play every other game.
I'd love to have him on the staff as an assistant, but not on the active roster.
Looking at the roster, it looks like it'll come down to Robert Horry vs. James Gist. Experience and savvy versus potential Long Three with explosive athleticism. I'd be fine either way but if Gist shows promise in summer league, it might be time to turn the page.
I have no problem with Horry coming back, but we have Bonner. If any team would be willing to take Bonner away from us, then it would be great. I'd like to see both Horry and Gist on the team.
