I moved that post in a new thread because it's worthy in that period where there are basically no Spurs news.

[Budkin]

Awesome!

[Bruno]

So, it's safe to say that Thomas won't go overseas. It's also somewhat likely that he will sign a contract with some guaranteed money. As I've said in another thread, a good contract for both Spurs and Thomas would be a Neal like contract. Spurs have a little left on their MLE to offer that kind of contract to Thomas.

How did a pig get a realtor's license? smh . . . only in San Antonio.

Aww come on now, don't be mean.

[Chinook]

I think he'll be a solid 15th man this season. I wish the team had another spot open to give training camp a little more intrigue, but I'm okay with going into the season with this roster, especially since the team maintains its flexibility.

[look_at_g_shred]

Hope he doesn't mind the hour trip to Austin every other week

[barakz21]

Excuse me for asking,but the picture didn't say/have anything to do with house hunting or real estate stuff, so how did you guys figure that out based on the picture? I'm not questioning anybody's credibility, it just seems like I'm missing something.

[RD2191]

Ummm it says she is a realtor in SA, you think he was having dinner with her for fun? Come on man.

[spurs10]

Aww come on now, don't be mean. Too late for that!

[barakz21]

:lol Oh crap I.. In my defense, I did not see "@DianaSArealtor". Damn, my eyes are betraying me Thanks for pointing that out man.

Still, I feel like an idiot. :lol

[spurs1990]

DeJuan Blair version 2.0 ?

I mean as far as PT is concerned for 2014, I'd imagine Duncan/Splitter/Baynes/ maybe Pendergraph are the 4 bigs that'll play.

[RD2191]

:lol No worries, happens to the best of us.

[Shifty]

DeJuan Blair version 2.0 ?

Don't forget Diaw. He is the 3rd big. However, Deshaun would play the 3 and small ball four.

More like Duncan/Splitter/Diaw with Baynes and Pendergraph getting gargabe minutes.

[TMT®]

Spurs going young for the backup 3 spot rather than going for a veteran. I love it.

[ChumpDumper]

Hope he doesn't mind the hour trip to Austin every other weekThey'll lease him an apartment.

[DJR210]

That fat bitch is contributing to his weight! Should have had dinner at a vegan joint.

I believe this is George Hill's girlfriend/fiance's mother.

I'm guessing he hooked Deshaun up with her.

He'd be the back up 3 behind Kawhi.

DeShaun Thomas summer to do list:

1st Place -- Bring Oden to SA.

2nd Place -- Find house in SA.

3rd Place -- You're fired.

If you don't get 1st Place.

[elmanutres]

good, he won't go overseas. Now this summer looks a little less bleak. Let's see if this kid is truly a steal.

[Strategic]

Bro, calm your tits. I wasn't replying to you and the poster whom I was replying to did not take offense to my comment, so chill out.

[timtonymanu]

There aren't much options on the market and Thomas had a decent summer league so I'm not opposed to this if he's signing here.

I was hoping for a player with more experience though and would suspect that Thomas will spend a lot of time in Austin like Cory Joseph did.

[SpursDynasty21]

It looks like Thomas might be on the Spurs roster. I'm glad, and I think that he'll be a great player.

[eDizzle20]

I definitely think DeShaun will be a good option for the 15th roster spot. Obviously, preseason games need to be played before the final roster is set, but he definitely showed some good things in the summer league.

[exstatic]

Am I the ONLY one who sees NOTHING in there about looking for housing? He's eating dinner in town. Big fucking deal. Could be here for anything. Hanga and Bertans were both in town last summer for a while.

Thanks for your opinion but it could actually mean something as well..Nobody knows but DT and the spurs.

[tmtcsc]

Yikes. I bit presumptive on his part. Hell, even NBA vets get apartments for a little while.

[barakz21]

Bro, calm your tits. I wasn't replying to you and the poster whom I was replying to did not take offense to my comment, so chill out.

Had me :lol but seriously, it's all good bro. It didn't seem like something to be offended with.

[sasffl]

I guess he'll sign unguarenteed contract

[TheWriter]

Because the woman he's eating dinner with is a real estate agent.

[Das Texan]

Us Realtors only tweet shit like that for one of two reasons.


a. we have a high profile potential client that is looking for a house.

b. we are trying to use said high profile client to strum up business.


not just for shits and grins.

[Das Texan]

personally i think its fucking bush league to do shit like that, but to each their own.

[TheyCallMePro]

He could be looking for a house...but probably only for down the road. You know, if he makes the team and gets a contract. I'm sure he's in SA to meet with the team anyways. Why not meet with a realtor and fantasize for a while about making the team and buying a house when you were going out to dinner anyways. See what's out there.

I still think he'll make the 15th roster spot though. RC Buford said "He's a very talented player, we were very surprised he fell so far in the draft" And "Obviously there's a vacancy that needs to be filled behind Kawhi."

Then again...he did say "Deshaun is going to have to play A LOT different than he did at Ohio State" when the commentators questioned his defensive ability during a summer league game. So we'll see. I hope he makes the team. He was arguably the best player in the best conference last year. And the Spurs were interested in him early way before the draft (hence the whole phone number controversy).

[Strategic]

Bro, calm your tits. I wasn't replying to you and the poster whom I was replying to did not take offense to my comment, so chill out.and then you say something childish? "Bro".

[michaelwcho]

:lol @ her calling Fettucine Alfredo "healthy" (later tweet).

Good call. I worked at a restaurant, and each cream sauce dish had an entire stick of butter in it. Damn, it was good!

[AFBlue]

I wonder if he gave her his cell #...

[Taking it to the Hole]

A bit presumptuous to say he is going to be offered the 15th spot but he would be the best the Spurs can get right now for a cheap contract. Until the Spurs confirm it though, not going to say he is on the team. He definitely deserves a shot though and he proved his value in summer league so I really hope the Spurs take the time in molding him to be a contributor eventually to the team. Hopefully, he can get some consistent minutes this year whether it be on the Spurs roster or on the Toros.

[Budkin]

She works for Bush League Realtors Co.

[DesignatedT]

Interesting

[HI-FI]

I actually hope he makes the team. Perhaps we can trade for a good, backup SF by mid season, AK 47 though was never a realistic option. But Deshaun seems like he could be another steal, just a hunch imo.

[mountainballer]

she is now his landlady? damn, life can be so cruel.

[dbestpro]

It makes sense to start the season and man the backup SF spot with Thomas, and a combination of SGs. If Thomas blossoms then the F.O. looks brilliant. If not, then they have Bonner and Diaw's contracts to package with a guard to land a decent player come mid-season.

[xmas1997]

Aren't we jumping to conclusions here, putting the cart before the horse?
Seems like we are jumping the gun, either we are, or Thomas is.

[clambake]

How did a pig get a realtor's license? smh . . . only in San Antonio.

lol

[TXstbobcat]

This isn't a guarantee that he is buying a house in san antonio now. He could be looking at what his options could be. She might have taken him to dinner hoping to become his realtor in the future.

[Aremid]

Why is anyone excited? If we ate lucky enough to get back to the finalshe better be a contributor. Idgaf what he does in the regular season.

[raybies]

She said, " Exciting things happening for him soon."

So for those who question whether this means anything or not; It's clear she an inside scoop to what's going on with him. I'm not sure she would say that if he was going to europe. It sounds as if she's saying announcement forthcoming, hello he's looking for a place here...

Honestly, I think you might be reading a whole lot more into her simple statement than what is truly there IMHO.

[cd98]

If she is representing him in searching for a house, it should be in Austin (if not Europe), not San Antonio.

:lmao
Actually Austin is an easy commute from San Antonio.
If the Spur ownership had been really smart and far sighted they would have built the arena half way between the two cities. In fact, that is my hope for a future NFL team and stadium!

[Spur|n|Austin]

You guys sound like you're trying to decipher the Da Vinci Code :lol

[xmas1997]

the san marcos spurs ?

:lol
San Marcos or just below would be great, but the name would need to be the Texas ???s (insert name of your choice).
Not to veer too far off subject, but we already have the Dallas Cowboys, Texas Rangers, Houston Astros, and the Houston Texans so it would probably need to be the Texas Texians, Cabayeros, or something typical Texan, and Central Texan would be best.
That is why I was happy when the Saints moved here for three games, the San Antonio Saints was perfect.
Ok, back to the subject now. Sorry!

Hit up the outlet mall... and a Spurs game while you're at it!

Why you you jealous?

I loved going to college there but there isn't much else to do there.

[ChumpDumper]

This may be the dumbest comparison ever made on this board.

[dylankerouac]

I really hope the front office gives him an opportunity by having him start as Kawhi's backup, his job to lose kinda thing. If he gets over the jitters I think he will be a great player and he'll be able to help out Manu a lot too. He'll be a backup, he's still got great size and correct me if I'm wrong but his footwell is phenomenal. He's does all this while playing the premier position in the NBA with Lebron and Durant.

This is also barring any career affecting injuries.

From what i've heard he is a unlikely fit at small forward in the NBA, because he lacks quickness to defend on the wing. He could make the roster, but Manu is likely going to play primarily backup small forward. I think it would be best for everyone involved for that to happen. Playing a second unit consisting of

Joseph/Mills
Belineli
Ginobil
Diaw
Baynes/ Pendergraph

four play makers and four 3 point shooters on a bench should be helpful take pressure off Manu. The bench lacks experience though, with only Manu, Beli, and Diaw playing consistent minutes throughout their careers.

SF isn't the premier position in the NBA ,PF is. Its the second weakest position in the NBA behind Center.

Duncan
Nowitzki
Griffin
Aldrigde
Love
[Pau]Gasol
Randolph
West
Garnett
Milsap
Ibaka


SFs

Deng
Igualada
Leonard
Batum
[Harrison]Barnes
Durant

James and Anthony both play alot of PF now a days.

[Strategic]

Maybe this thread title should have been "DeShaun Thomas looking for a 'cat' house in SA?"

[Budkin]

It was Deshaun that initially wouldn't give his number to the Spurs right? Wonder if he'll give his address.

[heyheymymy]

It was Deshaun that initially wouldn't give his number to the Spurs right? Wonder if he'll give his address.

yeah, what's the story on that? he didn't want to get drafted by us? so it's like "don't call me"

he downplays it in an interview after we picked him, almost makes it sound like a misunderstanding.

hope he isn't a cancer, im pretty excited about his prospects.

I agree, Marco over Ginobili at the backup two. Then, DeShaun get minutes after their lions share. He really needs a chance to show what he can do and I think the Spurs are already impressed with him. There is still DeColo too though. So there is that, DeShaun may go to Austin but I expect him to do well there and for the team to give him minor minutes at some point.


four play makers and four 3 point shooters on a bench should be helpful take pressure off Manu. The bench lacks experience though, only Manu, Beli, and Diaw playing consistent minutes throughout their careers.


Add Bonner to those three, he showed an aptitude to create this season instead of stand still at the three point line when he received the ball. I also recall that he added a hook shot to his arsenal this season. He's also king of the regular season +/-, heck, the team could probably ride that alone through to the first round of the playoffs. Add that to the possibility of Bonner continuing to work on his footwork and coming back with an added weapon. Yeah, he didn't exactly stand out in the Finals but he may have earned some of Pop's trust back. Obviously, he has to be considered before Pendergraph and Baynes. I could see the team using Pendergraph during the regular season but they've shown over and over again that they are going to trust their veterans over their new players during a tight series.

That puts the Spurs at five experienced backups, which is exactly what the team would need in another tight series.

Joseph - don't forget to add his Finals and Team Canada leadership experience
Belinelli - he's got confidence, that alone could get him on the floor
Ginobili
Diaw
Bonner

Being in a tight position, I would trust any combination of the starters and the names listed above. Now, if any of DeColo, Thomas, Pendergraph, Baynes or Mills (Mr. insurance for any of Joseph, Belinelli and Ginobili) begin to shine well, then the team's in an even better position. This might be the best training camp roster that the front office has had in a while.

Can't wait for the season to start and here's hoping that everyone stays healthy.
