Spurs trying to sign PJ Brown

Could Spurs be in the hunt for P.J. Brown?
Wire Reports
Tuesday, February 26, 2008



In a surprising development, Marty Burns of Sports Illustrated is reporting that P.J Brown, a 34-year-old power forward who has been living in Louisiana since finishing out his contract with the Bulls last season, has backed off his previous decision to stay retired and is now seriously mulling an offer to join an NBA team.

"The Hornets are widely assumed to be the front-runner, but the Suns, Mavs, Spurs and Celtics also could be in the hunt. Bartelstein, who also represents Brown, would not specify which teams had made offers, but he did say Brown had undergone a change of heart and was now weighing his NBA options."

San Antonio tried to sign Brown to a free-agent contract, but he opted for the Hornets at the time. Gregg Popovich and R.C. Buford have long been fans of Brown's defensive abilities and rebounding.

I don't know what kind of playing shape that PJ Brown is in but I've always been a fan of Brown.  I was hoping that the Lakers would go after him when Bynum went down.  This definately would give the Spurs a great deal of depth in the frontcourt if he can get into playing shape. 

The playoffs are going to be a LOT of fun!  I'm hoping the Lakers can get healthy so they can knock the Spurs out -- just like the good ole days!   ;D

Cassel is trying like hell to get on that roster as well.

I figured signing PJ was a long shot after Thomas was acquired.  IMO the Spurs got the better player.
