IF we brought him on, would he be a net positive for our team, which is kinda vibing right now? I certainly feel like a lot of the guys on the roster would benefit from his knowledge and experience. And we know Book and CP3 had mutual interest in getting him back in the offseason before he signed with the Clippers. But this is also situation our front office wanted to avoid even if it wasn't guaranteed to happen and this being the main reason why they decided against bringing him back. Emotionally, I want him back on the team, I want him to retire as a Sun and I think he's a net positive but I also recognise there is risk there
Edit: and before anyone calls him washed, yeah he looks washed this year but this Clippers team is completely dysfunctional. Last season he played ALL 82 games, averaged 7.4APG with only 1.6TPG (4.7 A:T ratio), shot 37.7% from 3 on 4.5 attempts a game for a competitive, well coached Spurs team
Yeah that Clippers organization is so dysfunctional the way they let Kwahi do whatever he wants with zero accountability I am not surprised CP3 clashed with management.
I think he can be a good presence as an assistant coach although there is always the fear that he will finally wear on players because he's so vocal and outspoken. He might feel he has more insight than Ott so I think the potential for clashes could be pretty high but I don't think we have too much to lose.
I loved CP3 during his time here, but I'd hate it if we gave him minutes of Gillespie and Bouyea at this stage of his career - the young guns have earned their way into our rotation.
I would bring him back only as an assistant coach.
