Good God, no. Hairston was even worse offense.
and stop saying malik can't play sf, malik is better than rj. thank you rj you just opened it up for malik now he will finally get his chance to shine.
Good God, no. Hairston was even worse offense.
Your absolutely right. It's Hairston's turn............ to get cut or traded in a package for someone who can play small forward.
haha......I kinda like Hairston....but thats some good right there
The Spurs don't really need his offense, a healthy Parker provides a massive boost in our offense, an improved Hill, Manu, Blair improving, Splitter possibly coming over, a pure scorer in Anderson should all be enough for our offense. We needed defense at the SF position, Hairston looked pretty good on defense last year plus he has all summer long to work on his shooting.
So, we are rebuilding now?
We were rebuilding either way in my opinion. I have doubts about Malik but we have to give him a chance and see how he does this Summer. Either he fixes his weaknesses and breaks through...or we need to find someone else.
Oh God...I hope this doesn't motivate Pop to hold on to the corpse of Keith Bogans. My instincts tell me he will.
Hairston can defend the SF position. With a 3-point shot, he would be a good option.
Is everyone forgetting about Gee?
I wish I could.
give hairston the same mins RJ had and he probably gives you comparable stats with better D.
that said, we still need a shooter at the 3 spot so malik sure as isnt the answer.
Don't think Hairston is ready for major minutes. If anything I see James Anderson logging large minutes at SF.
if hairston plays 30 min per game, he gives us over 10 pts + good defense; i would say that is better than rj (12 pts + mediocre defense)
Maybe, i'm not trying to say malik is ready to be a legit starter for us, just that RJ's contributions aren't really that hard to replace.
Anderson, Gee, and Hairston in full affect. Somebodies gonna step up. I would think by now Pop has figured out that trying to bring back the corpse of old vets does nothing, but make our team worse. There is no ing way that Pop thinks bringing back Finley would be a better option lol.
one other thing - malik played really well when given 25+ mins per game consistently - aka d-league, summer league and pre-season; he shot the ball well, making more than 40% from 3. i do hope that he can do that in real nba games, b/c the 3-pts shot is available when playing with tim-tony-manu-hill-(hopefully splitter)
however, i think rj will stay b/c of this: http://twitter.com/JMcDonald_SAEN
no one will give him more money - and the spurs are prob. scared s**tless that they have no veteran playing the 3.
the important part of the tweet is this one:
Hearing #spurs would be open to giving RJ a longer term deal at a per-year figure that's easier on their cap figure.
If Malik could by some miracle learn to shoot consistently from the outside I'm all for this.
Maybe Chip can work a miracle this summer
If Hairston and/or Gee can shoot at a decent level from the NBA 3, they are better options for this team than RJ..let's hope they do..
wow if yall are really spurs fans yall would know hariston is a good replacement. smh @ so called spurs fans doubting hariston. bandwagon ass s
