No. Neal is a better shooter.
i do miss the guy i think we could have made him just a pure defender and nothing else and he def. had the tools to do it
He's hurt, so it doesn't really matter, does it? If it does, I'll bring up how much better Hairston was from three point range than Neal was last year.
nah, Rose went to NY a long time ago.
You must have a long memory. Malik hasn't been worth a damn for a good seven years now.
we already got an replacement undersized power forward in blair. only difference is blair has straight teeth
It really doesn't matter if we, THC or otherwise, miss him now because the Spurs didn't cut him. He asked for his release after being presented with a better opportunity -- which the Spurs were good enough to oblige him.
Let's not let the facts get in the way of a good scoff, now.![]()
not really
To stick in the NBA you have to be able to do something besides play defense. Bruce Bowen was a great 3 point shooter, as well as a great perimeter defender. Hairston still has a chance to play in the NBA, provided he can improve on his jumpshot.
Please don't even try to compare Hairston defense to Bruce they are not even in the same ball park.
I miss the Malik Rose we traded away after we gave a big contract to.
Neither Hairston nor Rose. Pls crab elsewhere. Lock pls.
Who else didn't get the OP question until clarification in the 4th response?
Neal is more consistant than Malik was/is
First off Malik would have been cut even he had not asked out in preseason, so it doesnt matter since he had like 0% chance to be in this team..With that said, yes, I do miss Malik cause the guy played with alot of heart and never seemed to back down from anyone.
Spurs waived Hairston because of a combination of health troubles and a poor level. They have been damn right on the health troubles part. Hairston was out a long time because of his back and he is now out with a inguinal hernia. Future will tell for the poor level part.
And given that Hairston isn't able to play right now, he surely wouldn't have been able to back up RJ.

Do I miss bad back, fringe NBA player Malik Hairston? no but at least he had that cool leaning dunk that one time...wonder if that screwed up his back though. I do miss James Anderson however.
Spurs didn't waive Hairston because of his skill-level or because of an injury ( even though he's been hampered by several minor injuries; including his back and now is recovering from surgery due to a hernia).
Spurs waived Hairston because Hairston asked to be released for a better opportunity, simple as that.
The Spurs totally could have won last night if Malik played.
Nope, you're wrong.
Hairston said himself that it was Spurs' move to send him overseas.
Really?

And about his injury situation...

Right now I do miss Malik Rose.
Malik asked the Spurs for his release, Bruno. And that's not hearsay or anything that could be misconstrued. Malik told me himself.
I'm sure he consulted Pop and Co. about the opportunity and asked what they thought about the club, or they had a genuine conversation about what was best for him moving forward, but the departure was initiated by Malik -- which makes sense given the timeline; Coach Bud and others were speaking glowing terms of Malik about a week prior to his release. Speaking in a way that suggested they planned on him being a Spur for some time to come.
And the current injury apparently doesn't have anything to do with the injury he had back in SA. At least, it's not the same injury. I believe he said it was "a totally different injury," or something to that effect.
