March 1 -- Playoff Eligibility Waiver Deadline

Folks here have been interested in him before. I'd cut Williams in a heart beat to open up the roster slot for Robinson. Give him a modest two year deal to conserve the MLE option this summer.

[SpurPadre]

The sooner you guys accept the fact we're not getting anybody, the better, tbh.

[MI21]

In before he is better than Ayres.

(he is though)

[exstatic]

Robinson is fucking terrible. There's a reason that he's now on his 4th team in 2 1/2 seasons. He can jump high, but he can't ball.

Can't hit a ft either. Like we need more of those.

[Robz4000]

If it's for the minimum, why not?

[BatManu20]

Can't believe he's already a bust. He was the 5th overall pick just 3 years ago.

[Chinook]

I don't think there's any reason to give Robinson a one-year deal. They wouldn't be signing him for the present. I'd say a three-year deal with the last two non-guaranteed but with a June guarantee date. Maybe a total value of $8 Million or so.

2 1/2 years ago, only 2 drafts ago. It's not like he didn't get a shot one place because of team fit. 3 teams have ejected him quickly, with very little fanfare after expending assets to get him.

Chinook, I can't feature this. How do you think he's worth that money? I usually have some understanding of your takes, even if I don't agree. The kid is just a bust, at three stops so far, no less.

[Godbama]

I'd rather give a Thomas Robinson a flier and see if we can get anything out of him, low risk gamble, than go with Reggie Williams for the rest of the season for no reason. We're the team that salvages talent, after all. I'm sure you're all right about him being trash, but it still seems like something better to gamble on.

[Chinook]

No one's gonna sign a three-year min deal. There's no point in a short contract, and the team doesn't need to save the money. Plus, they'd get a decent trade asset for the draft.

I don't understand your desire to sign him at all, long contract, short contract or at any amount. He's shown very little actual basketball ability.

[Chinook]

I don't understand your desire to sign him at all, long contract, short contract or at any amount. He's shown very little actual basketball ability.

I definitely don't like him as much as I do/did Derrick Williams, but I was just saying that I'd only take a flier on Robinson on a long-term deal. I'd be willing to pay a bit extra to make that happen, but a one-one-year deal is not worth it.

[Sean Cagney]

The sooner you guys accept the fact we're not getting anybody, the better, tbh.

^^^^^ This TBH.
In before he is better than Ayres.

(he is though)We could say that about the whole NBA practically and be right.

[cjw]

Can't believe he's already a bust. He was the 5th overall pick just 3 years ago.

Sounds like a Thunder kind of guy. Picking up all sorts of draft underachievers this year with Waiters and Kanter.

Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA
(https://twitter.com/WojYahooNBA)Kendrick Perkins has completed contract buyout with the Jazz, and plans to sign with the Cavaliers, agent Arn Tellem tells Yahoo Sports.

[Nathan89]

Nice pickup by the cavs. Helps them out in a lot of potential match-ups and adds another veteran to the team.

[Robz4000]

No it doesn't. Perkins is subtraction by addition for them.

[SpursFan86]

No it doesn't. Perkins is subtraction by addition for them.

I disagree. He was bad for OKC because they were paying him $8 million/year and playing him 20+ mpg. For a 4th big making minimum salary, you could do worse than Perkins. As long as he only gets 10-15 mpg, he'll be a decent pickup. He's definitely not a difference maker or anything, but he does help them slightly IMO.

[Malik Hairston]

It's an irrelevant move, Lebron doesn't play well with bigs that clog the lane, tbh..it doesn't hurt them, but it doesn't change anything, I doubt he'll play much in the playoffs..

Mozgov was a solid move, as he's mobile and stretches the floor out, unlike Perk..

Perkins is a poor player in today's league, his previous role has been eradicated..

Basically this. Any time Porkins spends on the floor will murder their offense while doing little for defense.

(https://twitter.com/Sixers)
Official: The Sixers have waived forward Andrei Kirilenko

[SpursFan86]

Pretty sure AK still has family issues going on. Don't think he'll play again this season.

[TD 21]

If Kirilenko does play again this season, it won't be with the Spurs. I had forgotten about the Messina thing and even if that were overlooked, Prince being traded to the Pistons to replace Singler means he won't be getting bought out, which means Kirilenko would be Clippers bound.

[Raven]

Can't believe he's already a bust. He was the 5th overall pick just 3 years ago.

he was a bust a month in his rookie year tbh.

[Raven]

No it doesn't. Perkins is subtraction by addition for them.

i agree

I'd rather have AK than reggie williams. I'd rather have anyone over reggie williams.

Suns if they want him. Doubt the Spurs really talked much to him. Could see them having interest after JaMychal, though.

[Robz4000]

Who would you guys rather have? Errors or Robinson?

Who would you guys rather have? Errors or Robinson?

Errors has zero potential to ever impact a game. Not really sure what Robinson brings but I'll take the unknown.

[SpursFan86]

I mean I guess in a vacuum I'd take Robinson, but I'm not sure it's worth waiving Ayres just to sign Robinson.

[hoopdreams11]

Could they be shutting down Tobago for the season he has no lift

[look_at_g_shred]

Are we really convinced the Spurs would waive anyone??

[loveforthegame]

I'm probably delusional but I'd love to see the Spurs take a chance on Robinson.

[spurtech09]

569295993050669056eh not this again

[AFBlue]

No buyout candidate is going to be "the savior", but Thomas is one that offers some intrigue. He was just a 20yr old sophomore with one meaningful season at Kansas when he came out. He's a freak athlete with a high motor who flashed a mid-range game back in college.

Could easily be a late bloomer in terms of his development. At worst, he's Ayers 2.0.

Either way, he's definitely worth the interest.

[ace3g]

Marc Stein @ESPNSteinLine
(https://twitter.com/ESPNSteinLine)ESPN sources say Andrei Kirilenko, if he and his $3.3 million contract clear waivers as expected, is eyeing a return to playing in Europe

[look_at_g_shred]

If Robinson can hit that mid range j with consistency, he'd definitely be a great player (a la serge ibaka) with more athleticism...I think. No way he comes here though. I don't think there would be any room for him. Unles pop just doesn't play bonner at all (which is highly unlikely as of late)

[Sean Cagney]

I mean I guess in a vacuum I'd take Robinson, but I'm not sure it's worth waiving Ayres just to sign Robinson.

Since when would waiving Ayres be a bad thing? I would wave him for nothing infact :lol

That last part there surely would be sweet man... LESS BONNER, one can dream.

[Russo21]

AK47 Waived as expected. "There are a handful of teams stateside still interested in pursuing him, sources say, but Kirilenko has not yet made it clear whether he's prepared to consider fresh NBA offers." A phone call from the front office won't hurt asking if he wants to stay in the USA til June. Why not pick up the phone and see what he says.

[SpursFan86]

True :lol I was more talking from the FO point of view since they'd still have to pay Ayres + give a new deal to Robinson. It's easy for us to say "Fuck yeah just waive Ayres and let's pick someone else up" because we're not the ones having to pay Ayres $1.8 million to not even play on the team.

[lmbebo]

I say waive Ayers or Williams.

Robinson is a guy we could hopefully develop. Has talent and athleticism. Just needs the right situation.

Interesting. I bet he goes back to Europe where he can get paid and get playing time, but I wouldn't be surprise if the Spurs have him a call.

[Bartleby]

I could see the Spurs going for Claver. It's a pretty small sample size given how limited his minutes have been, but it looks like he's been working on his three point shooting.

[gambit1990]

i hope we land thomas robinson (although i have no idea who else is rumored to be bought out). we could use some who's hasn't won it all, who's hungry. he doesn't need to do a lot for us, just be a spark off the bench and provide energy. especially with the way splitter's been playing.

Robinson's biggest issue is that he's shorter than Danny Green and can't make up for it in any meaningful way.

[Robz4000]

Robinson's biggest issue is that he's shorter than Danny Green and can't make up for it in any meaningful way.

Thought he was 6'8"/6'9"?

[Dverde]

I watched Robinson a lot when he was at KU. Good defender and rebounder. I don't think there is much after that at the NBA level. But he is a guy who won't be soft out there.

[Maddog]

Thought he was 6'8"/6'9"?

Smidgen under 6'9" with shoes
good standing reach 8'10"
Not really done much in 2+ years

[elemento]

Robinson's biggest issue is that he's shorter than Danny Green and can't make up for it in any meaningful way.

Nah he isn't shorter than Danny Green. Actually, it's not even close.

Robinson is 6'7'75 without shoes. That's exactly the same height of Kevin Love. Green is 6'5'25 without shoes. 2 inches and a half taller than Green. He can probably go up to 6'9 depending on shoes.

Also 7'3 wingspan, which is fine for a PF. Height is not his problem. BBIQ is. He has motor, he can rebound and that's it

[TheGreatYacht]

[CGD]

Reminds me of Tyrus Thomas in many ways: huge motor, good rebounding/defense, long tweener PF with limited range, and questionable bbiq.

Spurs were interested in that Thomas, and can see the interest in this one. He also has a compelling personal story for what that's worth.

[TheGreatYacht]

Spurs need a stretch 4 that can actually hit 3's. Bonner ain't cutting it.

[Sean Cagney]

Oh I agree there, some upside atleast as opposed to Ayres. What a joke FA signing that was. Pop cant even get him in alot of times in garbage time it seems.

I can assure you that no matter what NBA gossip you read wherever, the Spurs were never interested in TT. He's not just raw, he's an idiot and head case, which is why he's out of the league.

Victor Claver's camp is now gauging interest in the services of the Spanish forward around the NBA in case the Denver Nuggets end up waiving him, HoopsHype has learned."The priority would be to find a new NBA deal even if it has to be a 10-day contract," one source told HoopsHype. "That would not be a problem, especially considering it may be too late for a deal in the Euroleague at this point."

[DrunkTXLabrat]

The Robinson story goes like this. Look at this list...http://basketball.realgm.com/nba/teams/Sacramento-Kings/25/Draft-History

How many names do you recognize, from recent history? How many of those recognized names do you imagine in a Kings jersey?

It's funny to see that his bbiq is so bad, its even affected what team he chooses to play for. Not saying I wanted him but to pick a dog like the Nets is pretty fucking dumb when there are better teams calling.

[gambit1990]

we have until sunday to sign someone to be eligible for the playoffs iirc. idk of anyone else rumored to be bought out though...

[Chinook]

One of the oddest choices I can remember. Not a contender, didn't have money nor playing time to offer. Just sort of a waste of everyone's time.

[Sean Cagney]

Welp, that's that.

Yep, he never was going to SA. Their name is thrown in every single FA's wish list or interested in but you and I know how it goes. Nothing going to happen here so yes the buyout thread is a good one to have in the NBA forum but for the Spurs nobody is going to get picked up. Spurs have what they have and they will roll with that.
we have until sunday to sign someone to be eligible for the playoffs iirc. idk of anyone else rumored to be bought out though...

We are not getting anyone so it doesn't matter anyways. Didn't they sign Reggie Williams for the rest of the year? That is who they are going with IMO..

[SpursFan86]

I think people underrate the geographic aspect. Being able to play in NY is a major appeal to a lot of guys. Also, he'll get a decent amount of playing time there. What other 4s does Brooklyn have? Thad Young...who else? They got rid of KG. Teletovic is out for the season. He'll see far more playing time there than he would've gotten here, that's for sure. He wouldn't be starting for any team, but in Brooklyn he'll at least be the one of the first bigs off the bench.

All very good points, some need to quit questioning why he went there and read what you said and it makes sense. He never was going to go to SA, his personal choice and he obviously had a reason for going to BK. Maybe he likes the city?

[Chinook]

Lol it was only a 10-day contract.

[Godbama]

our season is over now tbh
Thomas "The Dream" Robinson was our only chance for a back to back :depressed

[exstatic]

Mal Thomas just got released by Philly. He had some sort of knee surgery earlier this year, they released him, and then re-signed him, so I guess the knee must be sound. If it is, I'd cut Reggie in a heartbeat, and eat that 400K or whatever.

Mcgee is going to be all over the NBA before his time is done. He had talent as well, too bad the wrong attitude and work ethic.

[gospursgojas]

[deibero]

i know mcgee is a knucklehead but i would take him.

Will def be interesting to see what can pop do with a talent like mcgee. I think he could save his career, similar to what Riles and Spo did with Whiteside.

[spurspokesman]

Mcgee could at least get a few boards. He will play for every nba team before he ends his career, First ballot hall of famer for that feat.

[LittleCriminal]

Mcgee> Ayers

[G-Dawgg]

McGee has the physical tools to be a DeAndre Jordan type of player, but there's no way this bonehead would ever make it onto Popovich's roster.

We need McGee for the Shaqtin a Fool publicity

[szkorhetz]

[jermaine]

George Karl sat him down an showed him Duncan tapes then said this is what I want you to be. McGee as you can see, didn't wanna be like Duncan. I'd doubt he'd wanna come play behind Duncan. Plus our bigs do alot of moving. McGee an Manu would be great together thou.

Spurs need to get somebody off of waivers, JaVale could grab a few boards and maybe Pop could mentor him. The way things are going this season he probably signs elsewhere like the Thunder, Warriors or Bulls.

I'd like to see these so called "Great Coaches" turn around someone like McGee. It's easy to win when you have players like Duncan Leonard an Manu!! Those "Yes sir" guys/ good ole boys.

[baseline bum]

Don't want McGee

[$pursDynasty]

McGee perceived intelligence would get an immediate bump by being associated with the Spurs. Who was the last Spurs player the media characterized as dumb? I don't know how high on his list of priorities respect is for JMcG but if it is quite high then the Spurs would be his ideal destination. Then again if he like most is just into $$$ and hype the Spurs will get lip service but will actually be his final option.

[$pursDynasty]

He interests me because he has what the Spurs lack, athleticism in the frontcourt. He is a legitimate shot blocker and can rebound. The Spurs get hammered by penetrating guards in the lane, an intimidating Ibaka like shot blocking presence would do wonders for our team defense. This is an ability neither Splitter, Diaw Baynes or Ayers can provide. I was even considering the Larry Sanders, of the Bucks, but Javell would be less of a risk to completely implode. I wouldn't break the bank for him but for the right price what is the risk?

[Johnny RIngo]

JaVale McGee sucks. No way in hell Spurs go after him.

[cjw]

Only way I would touch McGee is with a small contract (we do have part of the MLE left) with a team option for next year. Unlikely to provide much help this year and may just be a distraction though.

That said, he'd provide depth to most other western contenders.

[cd98]

McGee is probably still looking for a bigger contract. I believe I read that he wasn't being bought out to try and hitch a ride with a winner so he can get a title, he's being bought out so he can go somewhere and continue to underachieve on a big contract. I think he will sign where the biggest pay day is. That said, is there a team that can pick him up off of waivers, or were the 76ers the only one that were under the cap such that they could do so?

Nah. The bigger the payday, the more of it goes to Philly (provided they didn't waive their set-off rights). McGee may still have dollar signs in his eyes, but he would be better served going to a team where he looks good rather than picking the best contract being offered now.
