Shannon Brown..

[HarlemHeat37]

Ohhhh, so that's why he wasn't on an NBA roster:lmao..

[timtonymanu]

I would rather have Oxigus Jeffers back.

[hater]

and yet he's still not the worst Spurs player on the roster :lmao

[freetiago]

Errors -13 in 3 minutes
3 minutes came in the 2nd quarter when the Spurs had a lead tbh...
its amazing how fast this guy has ruined any lead the Spurs have gotten

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

and yet he's still not the worst Spurs player on the roster :lmao

zing.

he's still better than joseph at this point in his career.

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol no, he isn't(and I think Joseph sucks, FYI)..

With your comments on Granger and now this, are you still stuck in 2009?..

[hater]

Brown >>>> Ayres, Bonner

[Chinook]

I don't think we ever really understood how talented the deep bench was before this season. Brown, Ayres and Baynes are horrible.

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

:lol no, he isn't(and I think Joseph sucks, FYI)..

With your comments on Granger and now this, are you still stuck in 2009?..

Meh, at least he isn't scared to shoot and he has a better all around game (except defense).

All I said about Granger was that he isn't done or anything and it's not much of a stretch to think that he can come back and be a vital player on a championship-caliber team.

[SpurPadre]

I would rather have Oxigus Jeffers back.
You mean Othello.

[SupremeGuy]

Why the fuck didn't we just keep Thomas? Dude showed more promise than ofuckyou and this asshole.

[HarlemHeat37]

Ayres isn't an NBA player, neither is Brown, tbh..

Shannon Brown was worth a signing, he's a proven NBA vet at a reasonable age, Spurs had nothing to lose, but it's evident that he has nothing left..he can't shoot from outside 5 feet, he has never been a great ball-handler or passer, and his defense has fallen off a cliff..

On to the next attempt, tbh..Austin Daye, I suppose..

[ElNono]

IIRC, this is his last game with the Spurs, unless they sign him for the rest of the season

[spurs10]

I would rather have Oxigus Jeffers back. I believe Othyus is fighting a very important battle in Gettysburg tonight.

[cd021]

Ohhhh, so that's why he wasn't on an NBA roster:lmao..

Yeah. I was surprised when he got cut by the Wiz. I get it now. He just can't shoot at all.

[Mikeanaro]

He already proved it... 2 rings :whine

[Spursfanfromafar]

Wait till you get to see Austin Daye, the worst rotation player on the Toronto Raptors this season...

[Hoops Czar]

De Colo probably won't see much action in Toronto since they're five guards deep but it really takes a clueless GM to trade an expiring for a garbage player who has another year left on his contract.

[T Park]

Brown >>>> Ayres, Bonner


Lmao hilarious...

Clearly the FO knows nothing.

[DMC]

Shannon Brown just came in and started playing. He's had zero workouts with the team. Of course he looks like shit, he's the odd man out and it lost as fuck but he puts in some minutes and tries. At least he gets back on defense and stops the break, that's more than a lot of players do. Danny Green has been a shithole himself much of the season, stealing Boris' disappearing on offense act.

[Hoops Czar]

Clearly the FO knows nothing.

Bonner, Ayres, Baynes, De Colo, Cojo and Daye. Gee, you tell me.

[superbigtime]

spurs have some truly pathetic players.

[cjw]

De Colo probably won't see much action in Toronto since they're five guards deep but it really takes a clueless GM to trade an expiring for a garbage player who has another year left on his contract.

At the end of the day, worst case Daye is the 15th guy on the roster at what basically amounts to the league minimum. Could have minor cap implications heading into the summer, but I'd rather take a flyer on him than re-sign De Colo for another couple of years.

He basically became an expiring for future trade purposes at 4:01pm on Thursday as well. Can take back his salary in a deal and team getting him can buy him out at 1/4 the cost.

I don't love the deal, but don't think it was mindless by any means.

[james evans]

Brown >>>> Ayres, Bonner
i can't name 10 nba player the whole league these guys are better than. they are better than Thabeet though. he's horrible.

[DMC]

That's because you watch them all the time and the bench actually plays minutes. Other teams have shitty players as well, they often don't get many minutes and you probably don't ever watch them.

Spurs are 2nd in the conference, and a lot of that credit is to the bench. Most end-of-bench players are barely NBA quality.

Tbh, basketball could really use an "errors" stat

no doubt the injuries in combination with Pop's wizardry gives the third tier players more playing time to showcase their basketball brilliance.

The Spurs are running the floor with 4 to 5 guys who could be labeled 15th guy. The Spurs don't normally start the season with 15 guys so consider him the 14th guy and that's just wasting a roster spot. The Spurs don't trade expirings unless they're unhappy and they don't do buyouts. He's basically replacing Bonner next year and he will be here for the duration of his contract. If he shoes how unhappy he is, the best the Spurs could get in return is basically table scraps. So much for actully upgrading players and positions. RC is just replacing junk with junk.

Btw, BEST case scenario is he's 15th guy on the roster. Worst case scenario is he plays 15+ minutes a game and craps the bed like so many 15th men on the Spurs roster, seeing rotational minutes, have done before him.

It's pretty much the bud of a joke when the trade deadline/speculation thread starts and everybody starts talking about how the Spurs are going to trade in some of their useless junk for a productive player and then reality sets in hours before the deadline that it's impossible.

Right. Funny how people thought we would actually get a useful player without giving up our first rounder. Team hopefully thought the buyout market would be more lucrative than scraps it could pick up in a trade. Just glad they didn't give up any assets for Daye.

[look_at_g_shred]

The guy isn't even that bad. Considering no Training camp, and scarce practices. I mean the first game he appeared in, he started lol. We've definitely had some worse players for the squad!.....The guy is athletic and that's something the spurs desperately need.

[timtonymanu]

Good! Must mean Spurs are really looking at the bought out guys.

Or I could be reading into this too much.

[Mel_13]

Beno bolted too soon. With Felton's problems, Beno could have gotten minutes in NY.

Funny how that scrawny looking bitch never reported us getting Brown but as soon as an east coast team gets their hands on him, he's all over it. Oh well, hope we get Grainger now.

[Chinook]

In the very least, it suggests he didn't feel the team wanted him back.

[Mel_13]

Brown was in no position to turn down any offer from any team.

[ajballer4]

Sounds like it's ten days for both him and Clark

[Spur|n|Austin]

Pretty crazy buyout days this season.

[SpurPadre]

When Boylen was informed of Brown leaving the team, he reportedly asked, ''who? Is that the guy with the cornrows and freakish hands that doesn't say anything?"

[spurs1990]

Did anyone even know the Spurs released Brown?

It's not even on the spurs.com website.

[HarlemHeat37]

Shannon Brown's short stint with the Spurs was one of the worst offensive stretches I've ever seen for a Spurs player, tbh..

^Tied with ayres imo

The Spurs website is always super late updating things. Either way I wasn't aware he was released either.

they didn't really release him. he was only on a 10 day contract and it expired. the spurs decided to check out the buyout market instead of committing to brown, thankfully

Really? I think T-Mac takes that Crown hands down.

That's not fair. He didn't have the opportunity Brown did.

[look_at_g_shred]

That's not fair. He didn't have the opportunity Brown did.
Brown was not bad considering the circumstances he was placed in. Imo, he was brought in as just another body to pass the ball to. Anything else he did was a plus. You could tell he looked shy on the offensive end. He looked to pass as soon as it was passed to him. There were some spans where he looked to ISO, but wasn't comfortable. And he was learning the plays on the fly. You could see the players on the floor telling him where to go, where to set screens. He just didn't have time to develop in the "system". And T-mac, he only played when the game was outta hand. I don't think he scored one point with us.

T-Mac would have been a good role player if we signed him earlier in the year to give him time to learn the system/not play with our scrubs.
