how much better would we be with speedy claxton again this year?

[duncandaman]

i think we would be way better

I didn't know Speedy played center now.

the answer is in the question... you won't find someone here to explain you that weve got our backup PG is good enough... even Nick Van Exel would make the spurs way better

A real center would allow Barry to pick up minutes at the point and solve the problem.

Tim Duncan is the Spurs' center. Robert Horry, Matt Bonner, and Fabricio are just PF's that run next to him and Francisco is the back up center.

If that's how you want to put it, then the Spurs need a new PF.
Whatever way you cut, they need someone next to Duncan.

As to the original question, Speedy has missed nearly 20 games this year, so the Spurs wouldn't be in great shape.

Uh, Speedy Claxton might be the only point guard in the league playing worse than Beno Udrih. He's shooting worse from the floor and from three (I didn't even know that's possible).

Claxton is so broken down and is playing at such a low level that I wouldn't trade him for Eric Williams.
