Get him back! He can play SF right? There's our backup.

I would love for the Spurs to at least give him a workout.
Devin Brown has had success in the past against Dirk. He can't be any worse than the Sanders/Melzer/Smith/Lee/Famitaimaamimi/Reiner crew.
Too short.
Good rapper.
If we had a spot, I'd take Devin back in a heartbeat.
o please for the love God bring him back!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How is his back.
who cares if he can rap?
we want the spurs to win
how he plays basketball is all I call about
I don't see how there's any minutes for Devin Brown behind Bruce/Manu/Finley/Barry. If one of Finley or Barry weren't here, then maybe. But I'd still want someone taller.
Somebody hand me a broken baseball bat.
This is the opening the Spurs have been waiting for all summer. The free agent season is like a fantasy sports draft -- all the attention goes to the first few picks. But the winning team grabs the sleepers with the last few picks after everyone has lost interest (or is too drunk).
This is that rare opportunity in life to undo a mistake.
Bring him back!!!
Devin can guard Dirk better than anyone on the team not named Bruce ... and even then Devin might be an even better option because he can rebound.
Right now the Spurs have no second player to put on Dirk.
I'm just saying right now there's no way he'd get minutes on this roster -- the Spurs are 14 deep already. He isn't going to outplay Finley and Barry and grab their minutes. And he's not going to come in and do stuff like outrebound guys like Bonzi and earn minutes.
I got a question, I'm not trying to be rude or anything. I'm assuming you guys are in the same house.
Instead of wasting energy and time typing it out, why not just tell her in real life?
Or did you already do that.

Because the point of a message board is to read everyone's opinions and discuss them. If he just tells me, then what would that do to promote discussion in the thread.
And yes we are in the same house, he's right behind me.
Caveat -- make sure he's healthy though.
Given the concerns for Devin's, ahem, attention to detail while previously in the San Antonio organization, I'd be surprised if a stickler for details would be terribly anxious to bring him back.
I'm not sold on the idea of bringing Devin back anyway. I still think that there will be a deal at the deadline to address a need and that deal will likely break up some of the logjam at the 2-3 spots. But I think that deal will likely break up the logjam to find someone who is better than the guys who go out. I don't think Devin is likely to be better than whatever player the Spurs might target at that point. Devin strikes me, therefore, as extremely likely to be redundant before and after the deadline. I can't see the Spurs carrying 15 veteran guys deep into the season.
And, if I were Devin, I'm not sure that I'd be all that anxious to jump into that sort of situation -- I think I'd rather go somewhere that I can have a hope of competing for minutes on a fairly regular basis.
Buzz the tower, JB.
The Spurs NEED to make a move at Devin
I wanna see what Eric Williams can do on Dirk. He was in those photos from France, so it looks like he's on the team.
Having Brown as a third swingman for the minimum might not be a bad idea, especially if Beno doesn't pan out and Brent has to be the backup point guard.
WHat's the harm in bringing him back?
"make sure he's healthy"
Can't they protect themselves contractually with a "pre-existing condition" escape?
Devin has beaten out Barry for minutes before. The Spurs might have 14 guaranteed contract, but they have 0 guaranteed contracts that are able to guard Dirk.
Even though it might get me murdered on this forum, Bowen got lit up by Dirk. Dirk had his field goal percentage in the playoffs against the Spurs (Phoenix held him to 7% less, Miami held him to 14% less on FG%). Miami made Dirk Nowitzki look like Dirk Nowitzki.
For the Spurs to win the championship, they are going to have to go thru Dallas and Dirk. Bowen is decent against Dirk. Finley, Horry and everyone else the Spurs tried on him were horrible.
Devin in the past has shown the ability to stay in front of Dirk and rebound the ball. He's a better rebounder than anyone on the Spurs' perimeter.
For a minimum contract, I see no reason why Devin shouldn't be brought aboard. At worst, he's good insurance if one of Bowen, Barry or Finley go down. At best, he can guard Dirk and let Bowen guard someone he's capable of shutting down.
So I have everything in writing to make sure I got all my bases covered.I got a question, I'm not trying to be rude or anything. I'm assuming you guys are in the same house.

Sorry but if you think that Devin can do a Haslemesque job on Dirk, you are wrong. The Spurs need a longer, bigger player to guard Dirk. Bowen is too light to guard him all game. Devin is too short.
Oh no! Poor Devin.
