I was just thinking about this the other day but, remember when he was considering us last year? His reasoning was he wanted to end his career in his hometown, spend time with his family, and be able to have his kids see him play. Well, I can't remember where I heard it, but a couple of days ago they said he may return to Washington and play with the Wizards due to some interest on their behalf and he has some good ties within the organization there.

I assumed he was gong to retire after this season but, apparently he isn't. So, do you think we could OR should pursue him for this season to backup the 4 and the 3? I don't know if it's worth discussing though because I get the feeling that our FO feels like they gave him a chance last offseason and he didn't take it, so they're not going down that road again. I just think if its possible that it would be an ideal move for depth/chemistry.

Then again, according to this link, we have expressed interest in signing him again this offseason, although I don't recall hearing this anywhere else:

The latest Spurs free agency rumors comes from Yahoo! Sports as they report San Antonio is interested in forwards Antawn Jamison and Dorell Wright.

Los Angeles Lakers free-agent forward Antawn Jamison had a cast removed from his surgically repaired left wrist Tuesday and is expected to be cleared to play in a month, a source said.

Jamison has received inquiries so far from Dallas, Charlotte, Atlanta, Washington, Brooklyn, San Antonio, Memphis and Utah, the source said.

What do you all think?

Agreed 8789. I'm guessing he'd be around the 3 mil range or lower... Jmo though.

Also, to everyone, I want to apologize in both retroactively and in advance for any typos on my behalf. I've been posting from my phone mostly over the last few weeks and auto-correct is a mf'er.

He is a good enough scorer to play small forward and is an upgrade over Jeff Taylor, so there's that.

Taylor could use the PT and is possibly a long term answer. We won't benefit anything from this. It's not like we're trying to win now anyway. AJ needs to go to a veteran team like the Spurs, not here.

You definitely don't want Antawn Jamison at the SF spot. Trust me, I watched damn near every Lakers game last season and he is simply HORRIBLE at the 3. I mean defensively he is well below average at the 4, but at the 3 he is just completely horrible. However, he can help a team offensively, because he can get hot and hit a few threes here and there and is also exceptional at cutting to the basket.

I'm a UNC fan, so I'm very capable of what Jamison can and can't do...

Also, not to be a dick but Mike D'Antoni's teams have never been known for this thing called defense.

 

Jamison has never been anything more than an average defensive player at his very best, but he's awful now. It isn't just D'Antoni either lol. He's been awful on defense by every measure available for several years now. He would give a nice spark on offense though.

      Exactly the type of thing he would have done here. The excuse people were stannin’ so hard claiming he would have looked just as bad. Just not true.

      It's not just the Panthers... the NFL sucks at developing young QBs "it's a systemic problem"

      Yes and there aren't 32 starting QBs in the league either. Too many teams and too many games. The NFL has regressed over the years and game quality is lacking. The other leagues are supposed to be farm leagues but it doesn't matter. You just won't have 32 no matter what they do. The move to super athletes playing QB at all levels has lead to this. It used to be those guys played other positions but now they are QBs who can't really QB.  It has a trickle down effect too. OL can't block because they never had to. The fact that in today's game your QB must be able to run at least a little to survive is evidence of this as well. IMO they have ruined the game same as with the NBA. It's been simplified to the point of being boring.  Just look at the top 10 this season. Patrick Mahomes (Chiefs) Joe Burrow (Bengals) Josh Allen (Bills) Lamar Jackson (Ravens) Dak Prescott (Cowboys) Jalen Hurts (Eagles) Brock Purdy (49ers) Jordan Love (Packers) Justin Herbert (Chargers) Matthew Stafford (Rams) Once we get to number 5 the stats look like this: 167 262 1,845 63.7 7.0 10 8 65 18 84.5   47.5   10 TDs and 8 INTs??? At number 5??? There was a time not that long ago that he wouldn't even be a starter.

      I'm not convinced that the NFL is any better or worse at developing QBs now than they were 20 years ago.  I mean I'm sure there are some developmental issues at play, just not sure it is any different than it has been. The biggest difference IMO is that NFL teams are waaaaaaaay more willing to invest a 1st round pick into a QB now than they were 15-20 years ago.  A guy like Colin Kaepernick would probably be a top 5 pick in 2025, whereas he went in the 2nd in 2011.  Would a guy like Trey Lance go top 3 in 2010?  Hell no.  Look at Russell Wilson - he didn't go until the 3rd round.  The standard for being a 1st round QB has dropped. So it may seem like we're seeing more high-profile busts at the position, but we're also seeing teams reach for QBs way more than they have in the past.  Someone with Anthony Richardson's college resume doesn't go in the top 3 20 years ago.
