Sure, why not add another old body to an old team? LOL.

Well The Spurs basically operate this way. They target older players but they make it work. That being said, I think ol Popavich will maximize his talents. Others words... a good pick up for them.

Spurs are the NBA version of the Patriots. Most of the time they make it work (older vets), but every once in a while it doesn't work. Even then, it is at a minimal investment. Good risk to me.

I think its great Tmac is back! Hopefully he provides a needed boost the aging Spurs

[cdub]

I agree. Im sure he will create some buzz.

They should've anticipated the Lakers series and signed Mutombo to rest Duncan.

Anyone remember what T-Mac did to the Spurs in 35 seconds when he was a Rocket? Maybe he can return the favor and pull off one of those as a member of the Spurs lol.
