[TheGreatYacht]

Throw in a 2nd round pick with Jeff Ayres and ship him off to the Lakers... This guy needs a spot on this team :worthy:

Jeff Ayres, a 5yr veteran is getting outplayed in the Summer League :lmao If I see this clown clap his hands one more time after a fuck-up...

[DrunkTXLabrat]

that put-back dunk was pretty nice.

[jermaine]

I wish he could be Kawhi's backup. The boy got defense an energy

[ChumpDumper]

If he can hit threes better than he did in Austin maybe.

[xmas1997]

Green is a PF and not sure he could defend SFs.

[TheGreatYacht]

Yup. And I'm not impressed by Kyle Anderson neither, should've picked up Cleanthony Early

[xmas1997]

Him and Daye have Gary Neal shot selection. Too early to tell, but I just don't see the hype

[slick'81]

Lol ayers guaranteed money

[Darkwaters]

I guess we are not looking at the same Kyle Anderson then.

From what I've seen of the game, Anderson hasn't looked good at all. But I'm watching the Cup final. I'll watch the summer league game in fullness later.

I think it will be interesting to see KA with better players and shooters around him.

[Darkwaters]

I think it will be interesting to see KA with better players and shooters around him.

I definitely agree with that statement. That and the system. Right now they're playing Carmelo-ball out there.

[$pursDynasty]

We need to bring him into camp because I think he can beat out Austin Daye. If we are going to have someone at the end of our bench, we need defense and shot blocking in the front court on our roster way more than we need another finesse three point chucker.

[TheGreatYacht]

Another good game. Udoka said he'll rest Daye and Ayres near the end of the summer league and play some of the guys that need a chance... He better keep his promise. Ayres is eating this guy's minutes

[BackHome]

If Green had played Errors and Days minutes he would probably have had a 20/10 game.

[ChumpDumper]

He should get those minutes soon enough.

[Ice009]

Do they have some kind of tournament? I kind of recall them changing the format a year or so ago and they have a tournament.

Does each team play the same amount of games, or do you have to keep winning to play more games? How many games are the Spurs scheduled to play?

I definitely would like to get more of a look at some of these young guys like JaMychal Green. I don't think I need to see any more of Ayres.

Funny that Udoka chose to use the word "rest" to describe sitting these two. If anything, these guys have had too much rest but whatever PR jargon gets them off the court and gets Green in is fine by me.

Spurs usually raid other d-league teams for talent. DGreen, Othyus Jeffers, Garrett Temple, and Steve Novak all came from other d-league teams. The only callup I can remember from the Toros who spent more than a 10 day was Hairston.

The Spurs have gone out of their way to bring everyone back. Unless there is a team that makes them a STUPID good offer, they'll roll into the playoffs with the team that leaves camp.

I wasn't talking about shipping out cogs from the championship rotation but more like the end-of-the-bench guys (not going to drop names because some people might take offense). Besides, even if it weren't sensible, it's still possible they trade anyone from the team not named Parker, Duncan, Ginobili, or Leonard. There still are teams that make stupid good offers.

Ayres - 6' 8.75" 6' 10" 240 7' 1" 8' 11" 5.5 31.0 35.0

J.Green- 6' 8" 6' 9" 217 7' 2.25" 8' 10.5" 9.8 29.5 32.5

Just watched some clips of him and he seems to have a lot more mobility and length than Ayres.

He definitely has a 1.25" advantage over Ayres in winspan and just .5" less standing reach. Green also seems to have better shooting and a better handle.

If Green is a replacement for Ayres, then I'm definitely all for it. I don't know exactly what the staff so in Ayres.

[boutons_deux]

That's some beautiful work!

there's more than one JMG vid.

He looks awfully good to me, post up, crashing boards, rebounding, short and long jumpers, for 6.9" ???. Why hasn't somebody signed him before now?

[TheyCallMePro]

As a hustle guy, JaMychal Green is as good as it gets. In the Summer League he had so many put back dunks, so many aggressive rebounds, steals, and blocks...all that good stuff.

But the Spurs run a system, and I have no idea where JaMychal Green fits in offensively. Can he shoot 3's? Can he hit that mid-range jumper that he so rarely took during Summer league? Can he play in the post despite giving 4-5 inches to whoever is in there guarding him? I dunno. He's got to find his niche offensively, and it's going to be difficult without having any particular area of skill besides trying hard and hustling. I like him and want him to succeed, but every Spur has to be a threat offensively in order to help space the floor. And I don't know if JaMychal Green can do that right now. I hope he works on that 3 ball a lot this summer...

[wildbill2u]

The Spurs don't usually rely on their PF or C to make 3s (with the notable exception of Bonner). But he boxes out and gets those rebounds that we need from a big. He seems to have that permanent motor that gives him a lot of put backs and moves pretty good off the pick and roll--against SL competition.

I hope he makes it because I love a guy who hustles like that kid, but he'll have to beat out a veteran like Ayers or Bonner to stay with the team.

[TheGreatYacht]

FYI, Baynes made Howard his bitch two seasons ago in the first round of the playoffs. I do think Ayres is terrible and would be willing to give Green a shot, but Baynes and Bonner are valuable players for the Spurs in certain matchups when the team is at full strength.

Knicks also interested:

With the 10-day contracts of forwards Lance Thomas and Lou Amundson expiring next week, the Knicks have expressed interest in Austin D-Leaguer, JaMychal Green, a 6-foot-9 big man out of Alabama who has notched a double-double in all 15 games.

Wait for the contract details. My guess is that this move is not about this season and that J Green will be assigned right back to Austin.

[ace3g]

SANTA CRUZ, Calif. – JaMychal Green will likely sign with the San Antonio Spurs after departing Friday from their affiliate team at the 2015 NBA D-League Showcase, sources told Yahoo Sports.

What’s holding up the Spurs’ plan to sign Green is they currently have the maximum 15 players on their roster and need to create roster space. The Memphis Grizzlies, Chicago Bulls, New York Knicks and Philadelphia 76ers have also expressed interest in signing the free-agent forward, a source said. Green, 24, is averaging 23 points, 10.7 rebounds and 2.5 assists this season for the Austin Spurs of the NBA Development League.

The 6-foot-9, 220-pounder participated in the Spurs’ training camp, but was cut Oct. 22. Green, who played college basketball at Alabama, spent time in the off-season working with the Spurs' renowned shooting coach Chip Engelland.

Damn, is it just me or does his shooting form look much improved compared to what we saw in summer league/training camp?

But yeah, I'm curious how we're going to make room for him on the roster.

[jeebus]

Hopefully Errors will go; he only make a few hundred thousand more dollars and Green has the same skillset but with a much better outlook. Maybe RC will leave the bottle alone this weekend when he makes these decisions.

I'm gonna assume that Green will get some playing time over the next 10 days.

I'm gonna assume that Green will get some playing time over the next 10 days.

In that time, the Spurs play the Jazz, Nuggets, Lakers, and Bucks. So there's a good chance.

[SpursFan86]

Yeah, anyone want to offer some ideas about how this will play out? Considering we already have Duncan/Splitter/Diaw/Baynes/Ayres, there's really no room for another big...even if you're just looking at garbage time minutes. And if you know he's not going to get any minutes, why sign him to a 10-day contract? What are they hoping to see in these 10 days?

It seems like this is clearly a move for the future (unless they plan on trading Ayres or something, which seems unlikely), but the 10-day contract is just throwing me off. If they're going to send him back to Austin, why only a 10-day contract?

My first guess was that it would be a two year deal with no guaranteed money in the second year, but that was based on the assumption that another team was ready to guarantee the rest of this season. The 10-day deal suggests that no other team was offering anything better.

In that case, look at the calendar. The Spurs have 17 days at home between the upcoming 2 game trip this week and the RRT. Two 10-day contracts will allow them to take a real long look at how he functions with the team and whether or not they want to extend his audition into the summer.

The 10 day contracts keep him off of another roster while they make a longer term decision.

I still wouldn't expect to see him much outside of garbage time. If he survives and gets a longer deal, then he'll probably get to go on the RRT and then head back to Austin.

[jeebus]

Duncan, Ayres and Bonner prolly wont be there next year so there'll be a big need at PF...
Duncan *might* come back, Errors and Boner are officially gone after this season. Unless RC takes up LSD. imo.

[ElNono]

Buying rest for Duncan, who needs it, and Tiago, who played over the summer and hasn't looked that great lately, it's my first impression. If he's not ready for primetime yet, it's only a 10 day contract...

[Baam]

Now if they could find a 3 and D project as a fallback plan in case they cant retain Danny Green... We have 3 SG with expiring contracts...

[DrunkTXLabrat]

Ayers to anybody for an open roster spot to sign Glen Rice Jr. would be impressive.

[cjw]

the spurs have 10 days to trade Ayers for a better 3 than than Daye or an open roster spot. or else they're guilty of dickin around as usual.

With Patty back, they're more likely to feature 2 PG lineups with Manu or Green (or shudder... Marco or Bonner) at the 3. As long as Kawhi can take 40 minutes at the 3 come playoff time. Better than playing Daye.

[ElNono]

I could also see Baynes/Ayres alongside Beli being part of a trade for a backup SF...

[NASpurs]

Well I guess the good thing about the ten-day contract is that there's automatically an open roster spot once it ends in case management wants to explore other options.

Ultimately, I'm with Mel_13, this is more about roster flexibility than anything else... wouldn't be surprised to see Green head back to Austin sooner rather than later...

The finances of this for Green are substantial, even if he doesn't stick. The top DLeague salary slots are 35K, IIRC. Two 10-day contracts will net him around 100K, plus one year of tenure towards NBA retirement benefits.

[ChumpDumper]

The Spurs may try to make him a small forward. He hasn't been shooting many threes but made a few from the corners.

I know it's not a lot compared to nba money, but that's a hell of a pay raise for the average guy. Must be nice to have all the hard work pay off. Is it 100k/per contract?

Clubs who first bring in a player to the league have a certain number of years of control. It's pretty standard across all major sports. I forget what the NBA's version is ie 3 or 4 years and I am unsure if his first year had him on the roster enough times to warrant a year of service.

Where is the idea coming from that Baynes will be restricted again?

It's a fact. Baynes will be restricted again if the Spurs tender the QO. Check Coon's salary cap FAQ for the rules on restricted free agency.

[Chinook]

Where is the idea coming from that Baynes will be restricted again?

Yeah, Baynes has only three seasons in the league. Therefore, he's an RFA next summer. Doesn't matter that he was one last summer as well.

[Malik Hairston]

Looked good in a blowout against a mediocre defensive team..his energy and athleticism looks nice, as expected, but his jump shot is what matters..hopefully he can make them at the pro-level, would be nice to have a backup 3/4 option..

Leonard -27
J Green +2

Another 10 day contract is def not out of the question...

If he hits jump shots in a an acceptable percentage, he could be a Malik Rose lite

played the 3 from what i saw. Good hustle.

Great individual defense. Should cut down on the unnecessary fouls.

He's got a very quick second jump. Should serve him very well.

Finally, I like the fact that they are trying to have him play the 3. He's too small for power forward, but has good length for the 3.

[in2deep]

big man for a SF. athletic. shot needs work but is not totally worthless. looks like he can play some D too. needs minutes

[Diego20]

Daye also looked good when we signed him and look what happened..

[Phenomanul]

Daye also looked good when we signed him and look what happened..

Except Daye always looked lost on defense...

[cd021]

could have plenty of minutes coming up. Every team in the next 6 games (save for LAC) is at or below .500. Assuming he gets a second 10 day deal he could have some garbage time minutes.

[KL2]

Daye also looked good when we signed him and look what happened..

Different players physically, Green is bigger, stronger, faster, more explosive, etc.
At least he's a threat defensively to block shots, rebound the ball, clean up the glass, Daye was none of those. Idk if he'll pan out, but I like him more than Daye and Errors, that's for sure.

[look_at_g_shred]

played the 3 from what i saw. Good hustle.

[kuato]

Green is ok

[8FOR!3]

Wonder if this guy has a little Draymond Green in him. Similar size and game?

[Chinook]

Don't see enough to want his deal extended. Franklin being back in the States means there's someone else the Spurs should try out before committing to one guy.

[dbestpro]

Would prefer a move of Ayers for a true backup SF, and let Green take Ayers spot.

What is strange is it seemed like the Spurs tried to keep him & it didn't work out. It wasn't a Spurs just cut him deal - it was a can't agree to terms deal.

He might have a more guaranteed offer from another team, NBA or otherwise.

Nothing strange about it, just says the Spurs didn't think much of his chances in the NBA. He'll end up warming a bench somewhere.

[DJR210]

He had a couple blocks too

Just say you got a shitty danny green jersey from Korea and they fucked up the numbers.

I wonder if Kyle will be brought back.If Marco is back soon, there doesn't seem to be a need. Austin lost Josh Davis and might be losing Green now. Kyle can play 40+ mpg in the D-League until the rodeo trip.

Little paper mache and some spray paint and I can offload it to Jacob1983 as a limited edition Dirk jersey tbh.

[Mugen]

Srsly doe, kid's got some talent and has a chance to be a rotation player in the league IMO. Shame they couldn't get a deal done and Errors/Beli are still on the team tbh.

[Chomag]

To small of a sample size but I think he has the talent for the NBA he just needs some more time at putting it together. I'm sorry Spurs couldn't work out the deal as I think once he gets comfortable he is a much better player the Errors and Beli. Best of luck to him!

[weebo]

Yeah, he probably had a better talk with another or felt he could get better offers.

I wouldn't think "fit" is what JGreen is looking for, specifically. I would think playing time would be a bigger sticking point. If so, he can find it with either NY or MIL. The other teams mentioned are PO contenders and pretty much set on their rosters (a situation not much different than the Spurs).

[DrunkTXLabrat]

I knew Green wouldn't pan out the moment i read that he was taking Daye's spot instead of Ayers, and that it was only going to be a 10 day deal. Green is a 4, there's too many 4's on the team, and Green has already jumped through enough hoops to be rewarded with a remainder of season deal. I think the spurs just don't see how much adversity their expecting their talented young fellas to surmount.

[Darius Bieber]

How come Memphis got him on a 10 day contract, but the Spurs couldn't "come to terms" with Green for a second ten-day contract? Green probably wanted to sign with a real contender.

[TheGreatYacht]

^ true smh

[jyra]

I think it's possible that the Spurs wanted to sign him to a multi year non guaranteed contract close to the minimum (basically like a second round pick). Green could be looking for more guaranteed money or a deal that only lasts until the end of the season to keep his flexibility. With seemingly many other teams interested in him it makes sense to take a chance somewhere else.

[exstatic]

How come Memphis got him on a 10 day contract, but the Spurs couldn't "come to terms" with Green for a second ten-day contract? Green probably wanted to sign with a real contender.

Uh, no. They weren't working on a second 10 day, they were working on a real deal. When it became apparent that a deal wasn't going to be reached, there is no point in signing him to a second 10 day. Standard procedure is a contract for the rest of the year, guaranteed since we're past the cut date, and a non-guaranteed contract second year. JMG and his agent may have balked at that, but good luck trying anywhere to get just guaranteed money this year and free agency this summer. No one wants to put development time into a player they may only have for a few months.

[Mr Bones]

The reason the Spurs are a great organization is because they see the big picture. The reason most posters on Spurstalk aren't great is because they spend an inordinate amount of time arguing about the 15th guy on the team.

Yeah, but Green can always get a non-guaranteed min deal. For all we know, the Spurs were only offering a three-year deal like Philly gave to McDaniels. A lot of things go into the negotiation besides the agent being misguided.

Again, though, Green wasn't very good. No need to worry about this.

[Mel_13]

True. It used to be the standard that a DLeaguer would have to take an unguaranteed second year as the price of signing for the remainder of the year. Think back to last summer and how some of those players, or more precisely their contracts, were used as ballast in multiple trades. Then they were cut by the last team to hold their contract, while being off the market for all or most of the summer. I would imagine that being a free agent from the beginning of the summer is a much better situation for most of these players.

[ceperez]

If the Spurs have contract issues with J. Green this early then the odds that there are more contract issues in the future are likely. Best to cut him and see how he does elsewhere.

Anthony Tolliver is one of those Spurs that made a decent living even after being cut by the Spurs.

I found a lot of interest about George Hill... he's likely staying put in Utah, by his interview... and then saw that tweet. He should have been signed and Ayers let go... such is life.

He was benched early... He's probably a good bench player but shouldn't be starting when James Ennis (a journeyman) had a better game against the Clippers and played 36 minutes. Still better than Ayers though... and Daye... which was my point at the time.

Except that I'm pretty sure he was on the same team with all three of them and they were all better than he was. Really happy for him that he managed to stick with a team, but let's not pretend he was anything other than an NBA body when he was in the organization.

At the timem, he wouldn't have changed matters I agree... but he was both younger and played better than the other two IMO. He has stuck around and the other two are gone. He probably should not be starting, but he's an NBA player... I have been wrong b4... but I did think Jamychal was going to be an NBA player (Ayers never looked like one to me, or Daye)... To me they were just retained bc they were under contract...

[objective]

Ayres and Daye ... if a team is having four and five year vets with dozens of starts and thousands of minutes in the NBA between them go to summer league ... then it's time for the team to come to its senses and just cut those guys, they obviously can't play

Well I'd have probably preferred keeping him over Daye, just because Green worked harder, and I didn't believe that Daye was ever going to give any effort beyond what he'd always done. Green getting to play for an injury-riddled Grizzlies team was the perfect gig. Nobody behind him, no threat of losing minutes, no expectations. Probably safe to say he would not have grown as much in the Spurs' system.

Ayers wasn't a great player, but he was solid enough to eat up minutes to save the other bigs in the rotation, which was all that was asked of him. Green certainly couldn't have done that.

I'm not sure there's any way to justify the opinion that he played better than both of them, tho. Daye would have been ripe for someone with a pulse to give Pop a reason to cut him.

[SAGirl]

We will just disagree. I thought Ayers was awful and Daye only brought streaky shooting at the cost of defense. Green is a rotation player. Ayers never had Green shooting or he'd still be in the league and he had awful hands or he'd still be in the league as well. Daye.. He only had bad shooting going for him.

Ill share some I interviews Spurs gave about him that I found last playoffs, Danny said Spurs wanted him midseason but ended up with Reggie bc they were looking for shooting at a different position... It's too late at night to dig that up, but Spurs had some buyers remorse and wanted him after cutting Daye...

[Dverde]

How about a return for him? Probably within our budget and can make 3s.

[timvp]

He was pretty impressive versus the Warriors, tbh.

[Immortal Spur]

he'd be a good fit at four...

[exstatic]

He got flipped to the Clippers at the deadline.

[MoSpur02]

Was a huge fan of Green's when he was here. If I remember correctly I think Pop really liked him too.

[Dverde]

He got flipped to the Clippers at the deadline.

Green is a UFA. Clippers probably going to blow their free agency load on two better players.
