Austin Daye waived, JaMychal Green to be signed

[ginobilized]

http://bleacherreport.com/tb/dfP7P

This could be a nice defensive addition and an energy guy/athletic addition

Discuss

[Harry Callahan]

Interesting with Daye having one pretty good game recently. One good game out of 40 is not good enough.

Danny will have to get a new jersey "D. Green" and "J. Green" now.

If J Green is a lot more athletic than Daye, that sound OK to me.

[Cklbmk]

One good game out of 40 is not good enough.



It is for Manu

[Splits]

:lmao Woj outscooping our local hacks

[Mikeanaro]

Signed for 10 days, and then what?

[Das Texan]

Thank God. Daye was so fucking terrible.

[Mel_13]

Signed for 10 days, and then what?

3 possibilties:

1. Waived and returned to Austin.

2. Signed to a second 10-day contract

3. Signed to a contract for at least the remainder of the season.

[T Park]

:lmao Woj outscooping our local hacks



He outscoops everyone . BFD

[loveforthegame]

I guess the Mavs will sign Daye now. They like our leftovers.

[PingPong]

In the last games, Pop barely put Ayers and Baynes. The rotation players are Tim-Tiago-Boris-Bonner...

:lmao

[benefactor]

TGY will log on as soon as his fap session is over.

[dabom]

Signed for 10 days, and then what?

Don't fucking matter. Daye waived. I'm partying tonight. :lol

[MaNu4Tres]

1. Waived and returned to Austin.

2. Signed to a second 10-day contract

3. Signed to a contract for at least the remainder of the season.

Can see this being a similar move to the Baynes' signing in 12/13. Ending up being a 2 yr deal with next year being non-guaranteed/team option.

Could be the cheapest roster addition for next years squad, which would allow Spurs to utilize as much cap space as possible on more relevant roster spots (esp if Manu and TD retire).

That was my first thought. They could even use the MLE and lock him up for 4 years at salaries equal to the minimum with little or no money guaranteed.

In reality it would be #1 or #2, you don't normally sign the guy to a contract for remainder of the season after the first 10 day contract UNLESS there's a whole heap of injuries to the current roster.

[DapDaGenius]

Glad to see us make this move. I hope he can impress. I feel like he's been trying to make it here for so long.

[Dverde]

I think New Orleans should claim him, who knows with their front office

[timtonymanu]

More excited that we waived Daye. He wasn't an NBA player. He got his ring anyway.

[MaNu4Tres]

Think its inevitable considering how Baynes and Ayres are unrestricted this upcoming summer. One or both won't be back. That's where Green makes sense.

[Robz4000]

:lmao NBA

[dabom]

is fucked.

[swaggerjackson]

Dude why does everyone hate Daye? I don't get it. I am a little disappointed with this move, but I don't think it will ruin us obviously. Daye is long, stretches the floor, can create his own shot, and plays serviceable defense. Is he a starter, no. But he is a fringe rotation player. So please tell me what I am not seeing? Where are his monumental shortcomings? Why do spurs fans hate this guy?

[Russ]

Always liked Daye, but I guess it's a numbers game.

His calling card was shooting, but he seemed to be in a prolonged (yearlong) slump. That said, for a shooter he did a lot of other things well -- everything except shooting.

Hopefully, Daye will make it with another team.

[Godbama]

celebrate good times
c'mon

Daye had more uses than Ayres; he could sometimes shoot the ball and actually dribble. That's two things Penderfag can never do.

[Leetonidas]

Austin Daye was trash imho, glad the Spurs finally cut him. He is a shooter who can't shoot for shit and when given minutes routinely did nothing on the court. This Green dude can't be worse

[KL2]

Thank you lawd, been wanting this to happen.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Well I'm looking forward to seeing JaMychal. Kinda weird that the Spurs waived Daye instead of Ayres since I think JaMychal's and Ayres' games overlap.

[Budkin]

Green has been killing it here in Austin. Great move tbh.

He's negative in several advanced stats.

[ceperez]

Oh well, I guess his last good game wasn't good enough.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fo5zngT5qWI

I think his problem is he doesn't seem to play well within the offense.

[SpurPadre]

More excited that we waived Daye. He wasn't an NBA player. He got his ring anyway.

Yeah, great news. If only we can do this to Bonner or Ayres...

[wildbill2u]

not too surprising,although I thought Daye has more upside potential that Ayers. But I'm glad to get Green because his energy and physical presence can be a plus, assuming of course that his success in Austin shows he can translate these things to the NBA.

After all, D. Green is a D-League alum and we now depend on him a lot. So GO Jamychal! Show us what you got.

[Budkin]

Does this mean Danny Green will have to wear D. Green on his jersey?

[ceperez]

Green showing all the moves, dunks, layups, 3 point shooting, blocks, mid range shots:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQ1ERFeV1W4

[T Park]

Jamychl Green reminds you a little of draymond green in he has the athleticism plus a developing shot out to the three point line.

Hope he develops :tu

[PingPong]

So, Jamychal Green is the #2 player in the DLeague. What it means to NBA? Or even far, to the Spurs? Well, he will be a 15th player, nothing more.

[Mugen]

FUCK YES.

Check this out, ridiculous dunk, two 3 pointers from the corner.... no wonder the Spurs had to sign him.

[spurtech09]

no disrespect .....goodbye daye ......hello JaMychal.....

[spurtech09]

hope theres a chance JaMychal gets some playing time

[spurtech09]

Danny Green and JaMychal Green= Money$$$$$$$

[KL2]

Damn, I didn't know he could knock down shots from outside like that, that's sick. If he can knock those down, he's going to be a huge help, he can even play backup SF.

[exstatic]

Thank God. Daye was so fucking terrible.

[SnakeBoy]

I had high hopes the Spurs could develop Daye but he's failed to make significant improvement in any aspect of the game. Green has made steady improvement so I like this move. Hopefully if Green does well it will allow KA to spend some time in Austin getting the playing time he desperately needs to move forward.

[Chinook]

Think its inevitable considering how Baynes and Ayres are unrestricted this upcoming summer. One or both won't be back. That's where Green makes sense.

Baynes is still an RFA.

[MaNu4Tres]

Baynes is still an RFA.
My mistake. Still doesn't really change things. Highly highly unlikely both Ayres and Baynes will be back next year. That's where Green makes sense.

[JohnnyMax]

His athleticism might come into good use against OKC

[ChumpDumper]

Hopefully if Green does well it will allow KA to spend some time in Austin getting the playing time he desperately needs to move forward.Both will probably be sent back to Austin now that everyone else is relatively healthy. Unless either show rotation worthiness as a combo forward for this season there's no reason to have them just sit on the bench all season.

[ceperez]

Damn, I didn't know he could knock down shots from outside like that, that's sick. If he can knock those down, he's going to be a huge help, he can even play backup SF.

Apparently he can knock down mid range shots with consistency and appears to now have a 3 point shot from the corner.

If he sticks, then I expect Ayres to also be packing his bags. He's 3/4 inches shorter than Ayres but with a higher standing reach and wider wingspan.

I had expected Ayers to have a decent mid range jumper, but apparently it is non-existent even when he played in the Summer League.

[timtonymanu]

People believed in Austin Daye? :lol

Dude had NBA bust written all over him.

They could have sent (and still can) KA to Austin any time. This move in no way facilitates that. If anything, Kawhi's return allows it.

I'm not sure they want him up there right now. They've had more opportunities to send him for a game up there, and have only done it once. They may want him working exclusively with Chip and Chad, and not with the farm team coaches.

[timtonymanu]

FUCK YES.

I didn't care that we got Green. Just happy your favorite player left the team. :lol

[exstatic]

My problem is that he was picked one slot outside of the lottery in 2009, was 25 YO and in the league for more than 5 years this summer, and people were still talking about potential. First round picks are usually given extra chances, and he was, but at the point last summer when the Spurs picked up his option, he HAD no potential. When you've already bounced off your rookie contract, and are signing for minimum, you are what you are.

[ChumpDumper]

I don't blame the Spurs for holding onto him to start the season. They have to find a Bonner replacement and he was a bird in hand.

I don't think folks were looking at him and expecting a regular rotation guy. At best, he would have been a good Bonner replacement. However, Bonner has been playing great recently and doesn't need a replacement just yet.

Yep. A few posters on here were making comparisons to Danny Green as far as potential, even though both players are from the same draft class. :lol

[apalisoc_9]

Daye is obviously a terrible player..He was never a cancer to the team though and I very much appreciated his energy cheering for the team.

All the best Austin!

Tom rivers might sign him for a 10 day deal.

[ceperez]

I think Daye himself was comparing himself with Danny Green.

[Chinook]

All true. Just FYIing. Wonder if we'll see Ayres moved for a wing at some point. Green doesn't provide depth there at all, and Ayres is sort of the 15th man now.

[ceperez]

It's pretty crowded now at any position. The only player I think the Spurs are targeting would be Ray Allen.

[spursnatic]

Would have rather waived one of our other guys like Baynes or Bonner

Green has had some impressive games in the league, looking forward to see how he transitions in the NBA.

Waive Baynes???? The only real intimidator that the Spurs currently have???

[FuzzyLumpkins]

:lmao Woj outscooping our local hacks

All it tells me is that he got it from the league office when it passed their desk. A beat reporter is not likely to fix the locals being shut out from the club and have their spokespeople talk to them like they are idiots. We all laugh along as Pop sets the tone in his interviews.

I'm glad Pop told the clearchannel people to go get fucked and excommunicated them. It's been in the last few years that games stopped showing on KABB.

[Proxy]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUKacWOCzIc

In the last games, Pop barely put Ayers and Baynes. The rotation players are Tim-Tiago-Boris-Bonner...

every player in the nba is garbage on this board, this board is filled with haters plain and simple.

[therealtruth]

Does this guy play SF because that's where we need depth?

[ChumpDumper]

Does this guy play SF because that's where we need depth?Not currently. If you squint he might be a combo forward.

[weebo]

How's his defense and rebounding, particularly his defensive rebounding?

[tholdren]

I think it's a good signing. I liked Daye. He would shoot it. We need a high energy guy that can get some 5050 balls and offensive rebounds. I was hoping Baynes would be this guy, but so far not as impressive as last year. Hope green gets some pt

[spursparker9]

I was wondering why was Daye waived over Error?

Then I see that Green can hit mid-range and 3s. :toast

[spursparker9]

Who would you compare Green to in regard to any current of former NBA player?

[Nathan89]

Dude looks like he'll succeed on the spurs with his skill set. He'll get plenty of open shots. Also looks like he utilizes his strength well in the paint and has the ability to finish. His wingspan is nice and seems to be pretty athletic. He could help vs gsw and Okc. Just another thing to make the spurs more interesting to watch on top of getting our injured players back.

[Mugen]

I didn't care that we got Green. Just happy your favorite player left the team. :lol

:tu

Hopefully they find takers for Beli and Errors before the deadline tbh.

[ginobilized]

Who would you compare Green to in regard to any current of former NBA player?

He looks reminiscent of a late career McDyess against D-League competition.
Way too early to know, but, might be a Darell Arthur/Draymond Green type

[Das Texan]

I'm not sure they want him up there right now. They've had more opportunities to send him for a game up there, and have only done it once. They may want him working exclusively with Chip and Chad, and not with the farm team coaches.

I wouldnt be shocked to see KA make a few trips to Austin in the upcoming weeks before the RRT and then possibly a few after as well.

All the injuries kinda fucked up the Spurs plans for KA this year (which wasnt a terrible thing for his development)

[100%duncan]

What a great daye todaye tbh

[100%duncan]

Now if we can find a solid back up sf for beli errors...

[spursnatic]

Waive Baynes???? The only real intimidator that the Spurs currently have???
Baynes is trash Bro..Scared of Baynes?..For what?..

[timtonymanu]

:lol It's always been known that exstatic is a Baynes hater, which is fine but he's probably the only poster that prefers Errors to him.

[Darkwaters]

Austin Daye is gone! Thank goodness. Everytime I looked at him I just saw "bust."

[mkurts]

Now we just need to get rid of Ayres and trade Bellinelli......

[-21-]

I thought he was a SF at first. After watching the videos, he looks like a solid pick and pop big with a little athleticism. Can't wait too see him get some playing time so we can see how he fares against NBA competition, hopefully he's better than Ayres.

[j1nsa]

If Austin Daye was in the D-League, he would be averaging 25 ppg, 12 rebs, 3 blks. Green looks more physical and athletic, lets hope he can be better than Daye

[keepinitwill]

I liked Daye, so I'm sad to see him go. I think he knew this was coming. I bet you that Pop gave Daye those couple of starts so he could show other teams what he could do and increase his chances of getting signed by another squad. He looked like an All-Star in that game against the T-Wolves. That said, I am pretty high on Green. He is a good defender and we need that more than any offense Daye could provide. Kawhi Leonard being out, made it clear that we needed another long defender. I can't wait to see him in action.

[Sean Cagney]

Roster fodder, won't get many mins and will probably be back in the D League or on the end of the bench soon.

I'm not that sad about Daye leaving, I mean at least he got ring right? All he can do is shoot. He's got good length but he's super scrawny and lacks athleticism. I think Pop just waited till after the White House visit to release him but yeah, maybe Daye already knew.

Green seems more like a big than a wing. He looks like he's got a solid jumper and is pretty athletic. I don't know about his defense but I hope he's the kind of player that hustles and plays hard.

I agree, every Spurs player that was assigned to Austin scored in the 20s.

The Spurs are looking at something more than just basic stats.

Daye's biggest problem is that he can't bring the "Nasty" required for playoff basketball.

He has length, a good shooting touch and can handle the ball well. However, there's no "Nasty" in him.

Baynes has had back problems

Baynes played 19 minutes the game before, and got a DNP/CD against Portland.

I think the reason that Bonner is getting minutes is that while he's not having a Bonner year shooting from long at 37.5%, he's shooting WAY better than Boris, who, at 32.9% is barely better than Cojo from beyond the arc.

[Dverde]

Maybe the thought is someone may actually claim Daye as opposed to Ayres. He makes less money and had that big game recently. Saves money on the budget cap. He probably won't be claimed, but stranger things have happened.

[ChumpDumper]

[ceperez]

Daye is probably owed around $500k. Ayres around $900k. Daye being waived and picked up would likely mean that it'll cost nothing for Spurs. Ayres however would stilll cost maybe $400k, furthermore the likelihood of Ayres being picked up is next to zero.

Ayres, though less talented that almost anyone in the league, at least has a good feel of the Spurs offense.

It is for Manu

That nasty backpedaling though

[look_at_g_shred]

If he can defend the rim and grab boards, that's pretty much all we need.

[ceperez]

If he can defend the rim and grab boards, that's pretty much all we need.

He's not a center, he's an undersized 6'9" power forward. I guess an Antonio McDyess kind of player. The kind of player that I was expecting Ayres to be.

Spurs still have Ayres to waive/trade.

[Chinook]

Your understanding of set-offs and claims is off. The Spurs would not save any money if one of their waived players were signed to a min deal.

[exstatic]

I think he's talking about the unlikely case of one of them being claimed off waivers, and not clearing waivers and being signed at that point.

[Chinook]

I think he's talking about the unlikely case of one of them being claimed off waivers, and not clearing waivers and being signed at that point.

In which case, the Spurs would save more by Ayres getting claimed. Claiming team takes all the salary, not just the min. However, no one's using an exception to claim Ayres.

Decent shot chart.

Good. We have a dearth of pick and pop bigs. Tim's mid range jumper has been absolutely atrocious this year. Anything outside of 5 feet Tim is really inefficient (except for 20-24 feet where he's 2/3 but there's such little data there that it's irrelevant). Tiago can't shoot the mid range jumper, and Baynes is still raw.

[jARS mEsH sEt]

Even 41% and 43% are vast improvements over Duncan.

[Richie]

Hopefully JaMychal Green can be our Draymond Green. Lets see how his defence is.

Maybe Daye getting cut can motivate him like Danny Green.

Well, he had already been non-extended by Detroit, and traded by Toronto after signing for the minimum. How much "motivation" should one player need?

Funny tidbit from Simmons on Spurs/Daye:


Ben McLemore: Turns 22 next month. Hold on, lemme check my “One Of The Three Texas Teams Will Steal Him Someday And Turn Him Into A Valuable 50-40-80 Guy” checklist.

• Lottery pedigree (CHECK)

• Younger than you think (CHECK)

• Drafted by the wrong team (CHECK)

• Never had a good coach or good point guard (CHECK)

• Fits easily into a specifically useful role (CHECK)

• Will be available soon because his current team is dumb (CHECK)

(Shaking my head.)

(Also, here’s how smart the Spurs are: I am convinced they took a “chance” on Austin Daye, even though he isn’t good at basketball, because they know they need to screw up every so often. Why? So the other 29 teams won’t get suspicious every time they pursue someone they actually like. Almost like a world-class poker player chasing a hand with no good cards just to throw people off. That was the Austin Daye move. It was the Spurs saying, “We have a four of hearts and an eight of diamonds … we’re gonna stupidly chase a straight and RAISE. See, we’re not perfect! We’re dumb sometimes!” And it pays off for those moments 13 months from now when McLemore is mired in a shooting slump and they call the Kings just to, you know, see what’s up. I’m onto you, San Antonio.)

Lol, the Leonard trade is clouding people's judgment. The Spurs don't usually win their trades, or at least they don't win them handedly.
