    Emiliano Carchia ‏@SportandoBasket

    OFFICIAL: Valencia announced the departure of Nando De Colo for the Spurs with whom he will sign a two-year deal

    Someone at the guard position will be moved or waived. Spurs have too many if Mills is indeed resigned. Joseph and Denmon will need spectacular summer leagues to make the team.

    Some of his passing skills are Manu-esque

    He looks like a small Manu and from his highlights with the France team, it looks like he works very well with Tony Parker. He also runs the pick&roll well too. I'm surprised the Spurs are resigning Mills.

    Great deal; looking forward to seeing some fresh blood infused into this system.

    Will also be interesting to see how Parker, De Colo, and Diaw can all play off of each other, considering how much time they've already spent together playing for France.

    Looks like all the main priorities have been taken care of in the matter of about 24 hours. Shame about Lorbek, but I figured it was going to come down to either Lorbek or Diaw, and at least with Diaw we somewhat know what to expect. He can't be much more out of shape or unfamiliar than he was when he came on board late in the season, and he was a great fit then, so I am excited about his potential once he gets himself into that weight room and after a full training camp.

    Should we call Spurs "les éperons de Saint Antoine" ?

    I have a very bad feeling.
    1.4 M is a LOT of money for this guy.
    They must have seen something I haven't seen.

    I am almost tempted to say that Bonner is cheap, compared.

    The Spurs must be pretty high on De Colo. $2.8 million is a lot of money for someone who is relatively unproven. To compare, that's as much guaranteed money as the 16th overall pick in the 2012 draft.

    I'm not sure if the Spurs view him as a backup point guard or a backup shooting guard but it's clear they like him. You don't give $2.8 million and use your BAE (which means they won't be able to use it next summer) on someone you don't expect to contribute.



    Now that I think about it, did the Spurs troll Barcelona? By raising Lorbek's stock, Barcelona had to pay more money to keep him. That means they didn't have as much money to steal De Colo. Hmmmm...

    So was the mle enough to sign both Frenchmen? Or did Spurs use the BAE on De Colo?

    Perhaps they see De Colo as both?

    It had to be the BAE if this $2.8 million figure is correct.

    Speaking of De Colo, I watched a do entary following FNT few days ago and it surprised me a little to see how fit he was.

    so which team was better? manu's prime argentina team or the current French team?





    (the answer of course is manu's argentinian team, so why do we have so many frenchmen!?)
