Spurs were interested in French Forward Mickael Gelabale ?

@JMcDonald_SAEN Pop says Spurs have had interest in French forward Mickael Gelabale, who is on the second of two 10-days with Minnesota

Any more news about that? Or false rumor?

This would make a lot of sense if the Spurs had some deal in place to get Al Jefferson using Jax's expiring contract.

They've had plenty of chances to bring him into the mix in the past. The Spurs have brought him in for workouts on a few occasions. For whatever reasons, they never pulled the trigger.

If the T'Wolves don't sign him for the season after this second ten-day contract and the Spurs open up a roster spot, he makes a lot of sense. With Jackson struggling, the Spurs could use Gelabale for depth at small forward. That's especially true if the Spurs believe they'll end up trading Jackson at the trade deadline.

is that Lando Calrissian?

A Minnesota reporter asked Pop if the Spurs ever had interest in Gelabale and he said they have had some interest in the past few years but never had room. It was nothing.

he hustles. his offense and ball handling look like a dead end but i like his intangibles

[BackHome]

I thought his ball handling skills are better then CoJo...watch him dribble with his left and right hand something you don't see a lot of players do.

It's hilarious that Jon Barry keeps calling him jello-ball

I keep waiting for a French player with a name like "Bourgeois" to come to the NBA. Watching the local commentators and dumbasses on ESPN trip on it. That shit would be hilarious.

Not surprised, given that Tony has been whispering into Pop's ear more recently. He did help get Boris Diaw.
