If Pippen came back now, he'd play 10-15 mpg and he'd probably average 4 a night.

When you have a coach-player talk, the coach is the dominate voice in the conversation. When you get two players -- on equal ground -- it is sometimes easier to adjust. Plus, getting called out by your equal rather then your coach often has a greater effect.
I would like to see him back in the L, but theres a good chance he wont. He's already accomplished alot in this league. And if he makes a comeback it will just push him back further of possibly getting to the HOF.

I really dont think the guy would be able to do anything in the league. He is 41 years old, he wasnt that great when he retired, and no team is going to sign a guy just for leadership. I really wonder how much leadership a player is adding when he isnt even going to play much, if even at all. If he could sign a ten day contract, and he does well during it (which I doubt), then I would be a believer, but personally, I think he just wants to win another ring.

Roster spot, meaning him getting 10-15 MPG, and helping the players around him. I would for sure as hell take this guy, he played with the greatest player of all time, having him with LeBron James, would be huge.

He is top 50 players of all time, I would love him to come in the game, and come to my team, and teach James, Hughes, even the very young players in Gibson, Sasha, and Brown some of the things he knows. Its not like he is going to play 40 MPG, more like 10 a game, and teaching the players around him.

A player like Scottie Pippen on the roster, and teaching the things he knows to others would clearly help big time. Sure LeBron has talked with Micheal, and others. But has he played with them? In any game? I doubt it. All I am saying is he would help out, not in a huge way of being a key player in the offense or anything like that, just help the players around him.
If he did sign with a team he pretty much would just be like a coach. He would rack up DNP's and get garbage time while he helped the young guys in practice. If he wants to, then that's his thing. It's not gonna make an immediate impact on a team.

Believe me, he wont be wasting a roster spot, we got players that just sit on the bench and do jack sh*t. COUGH*IRA*COUGH..
LMAO he can probably still average 30 for the sucky sixers. :HAHAHA: Nah for real though Denver can use his D. I mean his age he of course won't be the same or anything close, but I think he can still help a contender.
Well the way I see it is that he would more than likely get abused during the regular season. The New NBA is alot about runnung and gunnning- I dont think he could keep up. BUT come playoff time when it becomes a more half court game he could be invaluable! He wont need to be running as hard And he is one of the smartest defenders of alltime. The Lakers make sense to me - I dont think Phil would get him though. But Scottie could run the point better than what they got and HE DOES KNOW THE TRIANGLE OFFENSE EXTREMELY WELL
