ASVEL Villeurbanne announced the signings of Edouard Choquet and Stephane Gombauld who penned his first contract as pro.
Tony Parker said that Amara Sy leaves the team and Livio Jean-Charles will remain one more season.

Parker announced ASVEL will play in the new FIBA Europe Cup next season and the goal is to win the Pro A Title.

Interesting. So does this mean he's released from the first round guaranteed dollars? I would think that's their only reason for not bringing him over now. His defensive instincts are legit, but he does need another year (or two) of development on the offensive end. I think he could've been decent depth and developed in Austin, but I'm not second-guessing the FO.

I think Chinook may have overstated their loss and his ability to force that move. Bruno seemed to feel as if they can leave him over one more year without any negative repercussions wrt salary/rights. <Shoulder Shrug>

Lalanne and he were being mistaken for each other in the summer league games. Lalanne is a little more well-rounded, so maybe if they are going to go with one young, raw, defensive PF-C tweener, they decided on the one that can throw it in the ocean, at least. They'll work on his shot a little and on vertical D instead of slapping?

May have, but it would have taken up a roster spot where we can potentially put a true center, shooter, playmaker/combo/point guard. LJC would have been interesting defensively, and as a backup for Kawhi if he could guard at 3, but the horrendous offense probably just made him a no-go/liability? Guessing.

Doubt the Spurs are going to find anybody with his free roster spot that's actually gonna contribute. Would have been nice to have a 3/4 defender with the ability to protect the rim. They definitely won't find anybody with more upside.

Not really a big deal, I just think it would have accelerated his development had he stayed with the team this upcoming season.

Since they have the roster spots, Spurs will likely roll with Lalanne as the PF project...either on a cheap deal or as a Austin Spur.

And that's if he even plays over there. I agree, it would be nice to have him here in Austin, that way he at least gets playing time. Hopefully, this has been a learning experience for him and becomes something he can build off of.

Laughing at all the scrubs spoofing over his middling showings in two Summer League games, who think he can guard Durant and who think the Front Office would rather pay him to rot on their own bench rather than have someone else pay him to actually develop somewhere else. What team do you think you're watching?

Or could this simply be because they need to fit someone on the roster on a minimum contract and every dollar matters (i.e., don't want his first round cap hit to reduce money for Duncan)?

He had some really great defensive plays so far in the SL, but its obvious that his offensive game is far behind is defense right now. Another year of development barring injury will hopefully allow him to do more than put-backs and layups.

The thing is that under Tony Parker LJC is fucked. Tony Parker may have been a great player but when it comes to teach and camaraderie outside the Big3 and Boris he sucks big time. He's a me first type of player. Remember when in 2013 Danny was torching the Heat and Tony decided to express PUBLICLY his take on Miami's defense when he said "I can't believe he's still open at this moment in the series". I mean, WTF?!?

THEN, this past Playoffs he took more or less the same attitude when he talked about how the Spurs were Kawhi's team that he should start looking for Kawhi to blah blah blah and what happened? Those last 3 games Kawhi disappeared while he began to dominate the ball. That was no coincidence.

this guy is like a poor man's rookie version of Aminu at this stage - i don't think he's quite ready for a team looking to make a championship run. maybe if he'd had a year here already to get used to the pace of the game he could have been an end-of-bench defender to mix it up with the elite SF/PFs, but at this stage if we get to the business end of the season, kawhi should be able to handle the big minutes himself.

The Spurs have been reaching on first round Euros (especially bigs) since Mahinmi. Most could have been had in the second round.

Mahinmi, LJC, Milutinov, none of them were first round picks in most mock drafts.

Splitter, on the other hand, was a concensus first round pick in the mocks for a reason (as was Parker).

Bottom line, I wouldn't hold my breath on Mulutinov -- he's no Splitter (at most a lesser Rasho).

It'd still be nice to have a competent 6 foul true C though (assuming Bonner is tge other depth big), and I guess Lalanne is shaping up to be that guy.

These have all been very late first round picks where the rate of success is pretty low. I think this "reaching" is intentional to some extent. Take a Euro- don't have to give them guaranteed money or roster slot (allows you to bring in people for trial runs like Green Mills etc.). If they develop great- if not no loss

I'm seeing people mention that the Spurs have no backup SF.

Danny Green is fine as a "backup" SF, Manu plays his best defense against bigger players these days rather than quick players with good ball handling and Boris Diaw has shown he can check SF's for short periods at an average level. Also, there is Kawhi who is going to play between 30-34 minutes PG - the Spurs will be fine at that position.

Some extra insurance could be useful but I'm doubting any player they bring in will jump above Danny and Manu on the backup SF list.

Any player they bring in will immediately jump Green when he does something Pop doesn't like. Realistically though they can't expect Green to play the 2/3 with no true backup 3. Kyle Anderson will get hosed by Pop and benched several times. They'll bring a vet in

They may bring a vet in, but it isn't dire straits if they don't. For the 15MPG Kawhi isn't playing, Green/Manu/Diaw can suffice.

They like reaching for Euros with late 1st rounders because it locks the players into the rookie scale. No salary expectations blowing up. It also helps because they don't like giving guaranteed money to just anybody, so avoid drafting domestic players unless they're certain.

Kid is only 21 years old and still has plenty of time to wear the Silver and Black. Do not want to waste a season or 2 of his rookie contract on developing if the spurs can help it. Sit down with the kid, tell him what he needs to work on, and send him back over on TP's dime to develop the rest of his game. No brainer in my opinion

Of course it is utter BS. Spurs win by just waiting until he gets better. Why pay to develop him when someone else will? Players are at their peak late 20's, he's 21, lots of time to wait!

But Rodman could score on putbacks, underrated passer and could dribble. Often brought the ball up the court after a rebound.

I don't think anyone expected him to earn a spot on the roster. We expected him here because he is guaranteed a two year contract since he was a first round pick, but that guarantee evaporates if he doesn't come over by this year. So apparently the front office must have promised him a two year contract next season, because otherwise he'd be a moron to pass up a free $1.8 million.

why would a team give a roster spot to a player they drafted? it's just insane. that's like getting in your car to go to work. everybody knows, cars are for naps and charging phones.

Yeah.... why give one to a first round draft pick, these guys are only meant to be stashed. 2nd round picks only deserve unguaranteed contracts.

from what I saw he blended in with the hardwood. Not good for a guy wanting to compete for a spot on a stacked roster.

what the Spurs really need is open roster spots. i think they should experiment with having 2 open roster spots, this year.

Would rather have him in the states where at least we could control his playing time in Austin.

Btw whats up guys, been lurking for a few years now and joined now with the mods back approving everyone. Didn't think i needed my own thread to say hello.

Welcome to Spurstalk.

He reminds me of James Gist another PF they tried to make into a SF that didn't work out.

for the 16-17 season we could have:

[Davis] Bertans
LJC
Mulitinov

and potentially our 1st round pick

It's sad to say but those guys probably never suit up as a Spur

Remember that the Spurs have a trade with Atlanta pending.

Maybe we'll get one or two in free agency. :lol


I guess if the Spurs had any cap space, they could go after some players who have already committed somewhere else.

My guess is three second rounders, Atlanta has five second rounders over the next two seasons.

Washington's 2016 second round pick

Brooklyn's and Miami's 2017 second round pick

All of them probably max out as picks late 40's or early 50's.

LJC just got PMB'd.

Way to go, ST scouts.

Interesting. So does this mean he's released from the first round guaranteed dollars? I would think that's their only reason for not bringing him over now. His defensive instincts are legit, but he does need another year (or two) of development on the offensive end. I think he could've been decent depth and developed in Austin, but I'm not second-guessing the FO.

There's this guy named Aldridge. He needs a large portion of the cap, and if LJC doesn't submit the letter saying he's staying in Europe, his draft slot salary counts against it...

??? We've never failed to suit up a foreign FIRST rounder, and the only one on the list that isn't is Bertans, probably the best prospect of the 3 players.

And one of you fine people is going to figure out how the Spurs can use that to trade for what they need this regular season. Looking forward to that. :toast

Bertans is injury prone, doubt he ever makes the team. LJC and Mulitinov are a few years away from being NBA players and by that time Spurs will have moved on.

Little disappointed in this move given the open spots this year, but who am I to second guess the FO especially this summer

He needs to play, the better place for that is in France

The Pro A is a better competition than D-League imo and he could come back way better
