Mighty Mouse on the Spurs? I'm not sure I'd be pleased with that. He was one of the Jailblazers and seems like more of a rotten apple than final puzzle piece.
http://www.bostonherald.com/sports/b...69466&srvc=rss...According to league sources, the Celts are checking out other possibilities and it’s believed they may have interest in another player, thought to be Sam Cassell of the Los Angeles Clippers. That matter would require time to work out, but the C’s will have to move quickly on Stoudamire if they want him.
Aaron Goodwin, Stoudamire’s representative, plans to have his client make a quick transition to his new club. Goodwin acknowledged his client has interest in the Celtics, as well as San Antonio, Phoenix, Toronto and Denver, but time is of the essence.
“We want to have him to be able to join his new team and be ready to go the following day,” Goodwin said. “This isn’t about money or anything. Damon knows he’s going to be getting the veteran minimum. He just wants a chance to play and an opportunity to go for a championship. That’s all that’s important to him at this point. The clubs we’re talking about all afford him that opportunity, so we’re confident he’ll be in a good situation by Thursday...

Damon wants to play for a contender, so it's no doubt that the Spurs are on this list....and I'm sure they've called his agent.
But I'd still put this one at a low probability of actually occuring.
Is he a good defender?
As far as Stoudamire as a player, I think he could still come in and provide an instant scoring punch off the bench. He's certainly not the player that he once was, but I think he could bring some offense that this team is sorely lacking right now.
Based on his age (34), previous knee surgeries, and diminutive size (5'10 175lb at best).....I'd say no.
I see. The one thing I like about Vaughn is that he is a good defender and he's usually right up in his man's face. He does usually hit his open jumpers too. I don't know if Damn Stoudemire would be a better option, that's what I'm trying to figure out.
I don't want his ass after all the disrespect he had for AJ back in the day. Not to mention his choke factor in big games (ie, the MDM when he missed a ft that would have iced the game).
Sh1t, for the veteran minimum and as long as he knows his role, why not?
10 day contract nothing more
He's not going anywhere on a ten-day contract. Toronto would take him no doubt. They tried to trade for him before he was bought out.
Even in his prime, he was worthless in games that mattered. He lost the MDM miracle game, and his game 7 vs LA in 2000 was pathetic.
he has interest in the spurs but i don't think the spurs have interest...we'll see.
base, Jaques Vaughn.
We're looking for 20 quality mins., not a savior.
Next.
can't see any difference to the NvE experiment.
Spurs should work on a minor trade to get some scoring punch.
(I guess I would even try to sign Earl Boykins for the vet. minimum before thinking about Stoudamire)
He won't be put in a situation where is a primary scoring option and won't be on the floor in the closing minutes of close games. I don't see him playing a big role but more of a role player. I don't see that as a problem if that is all the spurs are looking for.
They need a sf/sg scorer/slasher and or a big good defensive interior post player before they need a limited minutes role player pg.
I'm not big on acquiring him and would rather see a younger player that may have some future potential.
I saw mighty mouse here in SA when the Grizz faced the Spurs. He played Parker pretty well, and still has some speed to penetrate and kick out.
He also has the range to hit the three. Nontheless, he's a savy vet and can bring the ball up the court.
He may not be too far of a consideration as some may think.
he said spurs will never win a championship with avery jonhson in 1999..BUT they dud it and its avery who did the last shot!!!
Isn't this old news?
at least he'll lower the average team age.
Why is it that every free agent article mentions the Spurs as a possible destination?
Pass.
Because we are le contenders who need a little help.
Stoudamire can do what Vaughn can't, stretch the D with 3 pointers. i'd take him cause we aren't going to find someone better in a trade.
Because the Spurs are the official "where-NBA-vets-go-at-the-end-of-their-career-to-get-a ring" team.
