Carter sucks and can't shoot.

While somebody else could make waiver claim, Anthony Carter told me agent Bill Duffy talking to San Antonio and Minnesota on Carter signing.Anthony Carter has played with both San Antonio and Minnesota before and said would have no preference: "Both are making playoff pushes.''
Carter sucks and can't shoot.
Would rather have Neal continue as backup PG, tbh.
Does Carter even possess any impressive court vision?
If Minny is interested in him, they should claim him from waivers. They are way below the tax so it has no drawback for them.

Not surprising. He's still a capable defender and that's something the Spurs need badly. Don't think any PG they could get now would be in front of a Neal/Manu reserve backcourt for the initial playoff rotation, however, Carter is someone who could get thrown in there to contain an opposing PG going crazy, so in spot minutes and stretches he could help in the playoffs too.
They should've traded Beasley for Jamal Crawford when they had the chance.
Signing another PG with experience would be smart. Especially experience in the Spurs system. Yes, everyone here understands that Carter is old and doesn't have much to offer but rolling into the playoffs with a Manu who can't stay healthy and Neal as the primary backup is asking for trouble. If something happens to either it would be pretty bad.
Don't understand why people don't really understand this. Unless you are one of the 5 people who have been impressed with CJ.
"Anthony Carter likes chance to win le in San Antonio but also realizes Minnesota could provide solid playing time due to Rubio's injury."
We could also just play Jacque Vaughn, they are the same age.
Go ahead Minnesota, make that playoff run
id rather have some other bum
Anthony Carter might be the most vanilla player in the NBA. Much rather have Derek Fisher.
Currently, Carter, Fisher and Detmon are probably the top three chances to take TJ place. Every one of them has qualities the FO could like...andd some liabilities.
Carter has already played for us, so he knows at least some of our plays, and is good at defense...but he doesn't shoot from distance.
Fisher is the opposite (better offense, bad defense), but never played for us...however, has a lot play off experience and his shoot only could be worth signing him as a back up.
Detmon, I dont't know a lot of him, but he played a lot of games for the Toros (so he should know everything about our siystem and plays), has wonderful stats in the nbdl for offense (points and assists) and defense (steals) an is younger and probably with more energy and enthusiasm than the other two.
The negative points are that he doesn't have nba experience (but that could be good in the sense that nobody has ever faced him, so could be difficult to defend against him) and probably he's not a pure point guard.
Any of them could give a decent contribute...I would prefer to go with the young one, but probably the FO looks for someone more experienced...
Anybody who brings Carter to the Spurs to shoot needs to lose his job immediately. The Spurs need a backup point guard.
As usual the voice of reason in the house of insanity.
I wouldn't mind Carter, it is better than having Cory Joseph be our emergency point guard if Manu or Neal are injured.
I'd like a Carter signing. He's not a great player or anything but he's a really good fit.
1. He'd be willing to be the third point guard. I honestly think Neal as the backup point guard is the best option. With that in mind, the vet who the Spurs sign should be open to being the third PG.
2. Carter can still really, really defend. This season, maybe only two or three players have defended Parker as well as Carter did in the Raptors game. He's a smart, physical defender who can even defend shooting guards if needed. That's a plus if the Spurs need conserve Manu's energy and allow him to defend a weaker player.
3. Carter is a good passer. He has good vision and is willing to give it up. That vision is what the Spurs will miss most with Ford gone.
4. He has some experience in the system. With the playoffs already right around the corner, the Spurs don't really have time to teach a new point guard from scratch. Carter went through a training camp with the Spurs so he knows a lot of the lingo.
5. Carter doesn't need the ball. A lot of point guard over-dribble or feel they need to be involved in every possession. Carter isn't one of those point guards. He'll gladly pass and let someone else create plays.
6. He's another tough guy. The Spurs added toughness with Jackson. Carter would add even more toughness.
Plus, as far as I know, Carter lives in San Antonio. If he becomes a free agent and isn't claimed off waivers, you'd think he'd consider the Spurs.
Last time it didn't work out because Carter had an injured knee that took a couple years to heal. Right now, he's too good of a fit to pass up if he wants to hop on board.
I'd rather have Fisher. He's a better shooter.
If I've become the voice of reason then you've been gone way way too long.
Sukzballz lulz
But srsly, do we have another option for backup PG?
If not, then yeah we have no choice but to sign him
Exactly.
+1

If Fisher couldn't be had, I'd be for Carter. I still don't feel Neal is nor should be the PG. Its painful to watch when Parker heads to the bench.
