Go and get him

[AC#21_TD ERA]

DJ Strawberry got waived from the Rockets, sign him up and buy out Vaughn. :pctoss
As a result we'll have the DJ and the Hill fighting for the back up PG position. We'll have some youth and alot of potential in our back court.

:smokin

[anakha]

Another day, another 'buy out Vaughn/Bonner' proposal.

[remingtonbo2001]

Another day, another 'buy out Vaughn/Bonner' proposal.

What did you expect?

[m33p0]

so you want 2 unprovens to backup tony instead of having at least 1 veteran. potential is all well and good but you still need a reliable fallback if potential turns into a dud.

[anakha]

What did you expect?

You're right, I don't know what I was thinking. :lol

[Chomag]

No sir...

[Obstructed_View]

I think DJ's a good player. I'm not sure how he manages not to stick anywhere.

That said, if the Spurs are going to buy out JV, I'd much prefer they did it for a legit shot blocker or defensive long three.

[nfg3]

If JV gets shipped out (how isn't the point here) where is the experience at backup PG that Pop needs/wants? Not going to happen. As much as we Spur fans want more younth of this aging team I can't see Pop having 2 young inexperienced PG's behind TP. As stated previously the Spurs run a motion O and a complex D - how are these two guys going to pick this up and be able to give TP the rest needed during the season much less come playoff time? IMO this would be a recipe for disaster seeing how I think TP would end up playing more minutes - either b/c the backups don't get the job done or Pop feels uncomfortable playing them exended minutes - though personally I'm not a fan of JV but what realistic option do we have to fill his slot?

That Pop would sign on to that is.

You got to start somewhere. I can guarantee you that it will be more of a success then the JV, Hill combo. C'mon let's get serious here J.V brings nothing to the table. Plus you won’t have J.V taking Hill’s minutes. We’ll at least have two solid back up PG that will bring something to table. So we can only get better as a result.

Tony Parker started PG as a rookie, it's not like we need these guys to start, all we need from them is a solid 10-15 minutes a game and they're only going to get better as the season goes on. Any one would be an up grade over Vaughn. Come on, it's common sense.

[AC#21_TD ERA]

If they have some common sense thats exactly what they'll do, it's what's right and good for the team going foward.

DJ who?

DJ who?

Enjoy watching J.V taking Hill's minutes and throwing up bricks while the D.J drills jumpers for another contender.

Another contender? Like the Suns or Rockets, who both cut him?

Well go do something about it then, if you're so worried.

Just jump off a cliff. JV isn't going anywhere, so you might aswell do it now.

[Matchman]

DJ had a rock solid preseason and he would definitely make the Rockets roster had Von Wafer not have a monster preseason

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

OP obviously doesn't understand how you construct an NBA roster.

m33po does.

And besides, our real need right now is a long, athletic 3. That is what Bonner should be traded for, if possible.

[exstatic]

The Spurs aren't bringing in any new raw players who don't have a clue about the system. Recognize.

[K-State Spur]

DJ Strawberry is hardly a PG.

Besides, his jumpshot makes Vaughn look like Kobe Bryant offensively.

[AC#21_TD ERA]

Another contender? Like the Suns or Rockets, who both cut him?

The Suns cut him because they signed Dragic becasuse they think he's Nash's future replacement and the Rockets cut D.J because of the emergence of Von Wafer. That's two unfortunate situations and any Rocket or Suns fan will say the D.J has been unlucky.

[AC#21_TD ERA]

Well go do something about it then, if you're so worried.

Hopefully some one from the Spurs organisation reads this thread and acts. But these days, If you wanna get shit done you gotta get it done yourself.

[IronMexican]

Someone post a pic of this guys Girlfriend. She is fine.

Regardless of circumstance, the fact remains that two teams who have yet to get over the hump and are looking for that extra push to attain the championship did not consider him for their team.

I'm still not seeing your argument for him.

[ChumpDumper]

I think he went to high school in Orange County. If so, Anaheim should allocate him if he clears waivers. He'd have a fair chance of getting called up during the season.

[Darkwaters]

Considering I started the DJ Strawberry surge a few years ago I'm all on board for the idea. Hell, I'm driving the truck.

Won't happen though.

[tmtcsc]

NBA scouts and coaches are pretty good. Players who get repeatedly cut and manage to make a success out of themselves are pretty rare. Besides Avery Johnson and Bruce Bowen and maybe even Mario Elie, who else out there has managed to make it under those circumstances ?

He's got to be lacking something to make him stick. Not basketball smart ? Lazy ? Unwilling to play D ? Sense of entitlement ? Who knows ? Maybe he's just average.

He plays D and will hustle for loose balls, but his shot is inconsistent.

[ElNono]

When you get beat to a NBA spot by two NBA unknowns whose last names are Dragic and Von Wafer, you know you suck.

My argument is the D.J has a lot of potential and he'll be a far better upgrade over Vaughn. If Hill is playing poorly then he'll be replaced by someone that actually brings something to the table and I can save myself from :bang because ill never have to see J.V in a Spurs uniform again.

D.J's shot according to the Franchise is inconsistent but we all know that it won't be worse than Vaughn's and his shot is only going to improve. C'mon it's not hard, Vaughn is too old. It's time he left, we certainly won't miss him anyway. Replace him with some one that can actually score the ball.

[exstatic]

His shot is as bad as Vaughn's, and he has no PG skills. What, exactly, is he bringing to the table again?

[benefactor]

We are arguing Strawberry for Vaughn's roster spot? If we are going talk about that, we should talk about how Mason could play some 3rd string point and we could use that spot on something useful...like a real life shot blocking center.

[AC#21_TD ERA]

His shot is as bad as Vaughn's, and he has no PG skills. What, exactly, is he bringing to the table again?

:lmao:lmao. What sport are you watching? Have you watched D.J play? Vaughn is the worst shooter I’ve ever seen. The Spurs need to get younger and this is the way to go, D.J can score that's what we need and that's what he brings. If you haven't noticed we're team that goes through ridiculous offensive droughts and if we have the D.J instead of J.V we can at least have a shot of ending those offensive droughts.

I think you are missing the point here...HE WOULD BE A THIRD PG. He is not going to help at anything except garbage time. Bringing him in would be pointless.

His career percentages against NBA competition are .315 FGM and .240 3GM. I don't think he's the answer to our scoring droughts.

Bottom Line: I'll take D.J over Vaughn any day. At least when Pop makes makes a sub for Parker we wouldn't have someone that does more harm than good comin on. Also if Hill gets introduced to the doghouse we'll have a talent back up PG on the court. Hill and DJ combo is way better than the J.V, Hill combo. It's simple if it were to happen the Spurs will be a better team. I can drink to that :toast but i dont know about you.

You should read carefully what i post. All i said was the D.J has better chance of ending an offensive drought than J.V does, now i don't know how that means he's a go to guy.

How? JV has better shooting averages than DJ. And DJ is probably 1/10 the defender JV is... Not to mention JV already knows the system and Pop basically does not play anybody that does not.
DJ is a Toros player at BEST...

wow, this player must have the nba totally snowed. I mean he's brought absolutely nothing to the table for how many years. Forget the fact that coaches that are viewed as two of the all time best hall of fame coaches see enough in this guy to keep him, but i'll take your NBA knowledge over theirs any day....wait for it....NOT!!!

Bottom Line: We are talking about a 3rd PG. Zero impact player. Arguing Vaughn and Strawberry is like me driving around town in a piece of shit car making fun of other piece of shit cars saying they suck worse than mine.
