Jeff Ayres appreciation thread..

[HarlemHeat37]

Lost in all the excitement of the off-season has been the status of Jeff Ayres as a Spur..it appears that his time here may be finished..

He will be missed greatly from an entertainment standpoint, tbh..

Those hands, those hands..we'll miss them..

They'll miss us, too. And, everything else.

uh huh!!!!!!!!!!!

[JakeCuenca]

He had a few solid outing.

At the end of the day, you can't blame a nigga for hustling 2 million dollars away from the spurs. It was really boylen fault.

Also, everyone loved him.

Can't underestimate the importance of a good teammate IMO.

We won't miss you Jeff, but know that we appreciated your effort.

[SpursFan86]

Jeff Ayres has more rings than Kevin Durant :wakeup

[r0drig0lac]

Jeff Ayres has more rings than Kevin Durant :wakeup

and Karl Malone

[HarlemHeat37]

He gave some good minutes vs. the Rockets in April IIRC, that was the last thing I remember about him:lol..

[JakeCuenca]

If wonder if someone would actually be dumb enough to sign him though.

Never forget :cry

[Darius McCrary]

Jeff Ayers was the Nando of spurs big men tbh

[spursgu]

Best clapper on the team.

[DJR210]

:lmao I still remember when the announcement was made we were signing him.. tons of posters here got all fucking excited trying to convince themselves he would improve under the Spurs coaching staff

[ElNono]

He got a ring outta it... Boylen too... what a country...

[Chinook]

:lmao I still remember when the announcement was made we were signing him.. tons of posters here got all fucking excited trying to convince themselves he would improve under the Spurs coaching staff

Dude had the tools to be exactly what the Spurs needed at the four (great PF size, athleticism, shooting). It just didn't work out. It happens that way sometimes.

[100%duncan]

UH HUH!

[DJR210]

In fairness it was hard to tell he had the career fuck up gene from the videos that were available at the time

[Russ]

He did his best.

I'll never forget that time he actually wept out of frustration at his performance.

[HI-FI]

Ayres seems like a good guy. Though I enjoyed the shittalking and exstatic spinning. Least Ayres got a ring and improved in his time. Best of luck.

The only problem was that he couldn't catch the ball

[Trill Clinton]

how jeff ayers reacted to all the offseason moves

[Spurtacular]

Ayers was a quality end of the bench guy. I think an NBA team will sign him for the upcoming season.

[Hoops Czar]

I was cautiously optimistic last year when he performed fairly well in Summer league. I thought he had turned the corner. But then again, IT WAS JUST SUMMER LEAGUE.

[jeebus]

He did his best.

I'll never forget that time he actually wept out of frustration at his performance.
Maybe that was the moment he realized what spurfan saw in him each and every night - a fucking dude; in which he realized that he was absolutely useless in life and the only reason he's on any team is because coaches think he's a good cheerleader and could run down the court at a reasonable speed as well as occasionally jump.

[spursistan]

Only the Spurs do this you : Boylen gets a ring and promotion to associate HC elsewhere instead of bad league rep for his pathetic recommendation and ensuing failure on supposedly personal project that's Ayeres :lol

[wildcardX]

Ayres did seem like a good teammate. I'm going to somewhat miss him as well as all the others(except Daye) we lost from the championship team: Belli, Cory, Baynes, and Splitter

[TheGoldStandard]

Didn't someone compare him to Robinson

[DJR210]

Didn't someone compare him to Robinson

:lol

[SAGirl]

Why are ppl bumping this shizz up really? When not a couple of days ago, a lot of guys were thankful Bonner was signed bc it meant the end of Ayers. He was a good character guy but a very shitty player TBH.

[TheGoldStandard]

Personally I'm happy because I don't have to come up with Jeff ayres dad jokes

[Kool Bob Love]

I'm light 1 without him. Jeff ayers will always be appreciated.

[gospursgojas]

But when he did mess up he clapped his hands really hard and screamed. That means something.

[Embedded]

Frustrating, I want Jeff Ayres to improve. He needs to drill all summer.

[Budkin]

He's a below average player in the D League. He had no business being in the NBA. Good luck though Jeff.

[HarlemHeat37]

I don't follow the SL, but wasn't Ayres underwhelming even in SL, despite being in his late 20s?:lol

[LongtimeSpursFan]

At first glance I thought this was another one of your Apa threads.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

He's a more athletic version of malik rose though!

Man, Manu makes scrub players looks soo good. I'm gonna miss him so much. :cry

[MI21]

:lol I remember that

[HarlemHeat37]

Damn those nifty Manu passes :lol Peeps wouldn't know what we have had all these years until #20 hangs up..Only Timmy will leave a larger void..

[KimmyGib]

I for one will miss Ayers. He's given some solid minutes here and there and been a useful enforcer at times. Also been a great source for moral support even when he's not seeing court time. If there's any chance they can keep him around, I hope they do. Doesn't deserve the level of hate he gets around here imo.

Agreed with this minus wanting him back. I like how he never sulked on the bench about playing time and he knew his role and supported the team. Unlike DeJuan Blair.

[DeRozan m8]

I've never seen a player give away so many fouls on offense when he wasn't even touching the ball.
Oh, and he couldn't catch.
Plus he missed half his dunks.

Thank god he's gone tbh

[Ditty]

I don't remember, why the hell did Ayers play so damn much in that Pistons game? No wonder we lost ;), and was one win away from the 2nd seed :cry

I was on your side 3/4 of the 2014 season, defending you in game threads but...you were terrible dude. Seem like a great guy, hopefully you find a gig in the D league or overseas, you have sure made your money and got a ring. Thanks for being the third best cheerleader on the bench.

[BillMc]

This. The man was a good teammate. Someone has to be last, no real shame in it considering the quality of our team and its depth. Timmy seemed to like him. And we'll always have that strange yet entertaining story about the hotel the Spurs stayed in being haunted thanks mainly to Jeff.

[Brazil]

:lol I remember an article saying life was tough for him... He is a better bb player than 99.99% of the world population but not good enough for the nba but he tries :cry

[MI21]

:lol who said that again?

It was either exstatic or Tpark, :lol

[timtonymanu]

It was either exstatic or Tpark, :lol

It was definitely T Park. :lol

Not only that, but he also suggested that Ayres close games over Diaw.


Ayers is a better bigger Malik Rose. Been saying this for a while. Really really excited about this kid. When Diaw goes back to soft offensively, I'd play him down the stretch in smaller situations. Great rebounder.

[spurspokesman]

Won't miss him.

[philldafunk]

I appreciate his ability to finish his dunks on NBA2k online

[MVPCues]

You can support good dudes and wish them well and still not want them on the team or taking minutes from better players. He tried hard and was a good teammate. He just wasn't a good enough player to stick around. There shouldn't be so much shame associated with that. Hopefully he lands a gig somewhere and plays well.

[jeebus]

It was either exstatic or Tpark, :lol

Those two cucks have probably been 69ing each other all summer to take the pain of losing Errors away.

[look_at_g_shred]

What kind of thread is this :lol lock this shit

[jeebus]

Not every thread can be up there in quality with your TD asterisk one.

[Dex]

He got a ring outta it... Boylen too... what a country...

:lol

[ceperez]

Man, Manu makes scrub players looks soo good. I'm gonna miss him so much. :cry

Is that a Ayres highlight clip or a Manu highlight clip. Imagine if Manu was passing to big more capable than Ayres.

Manu going to have a field day this coming season.

[Dex]

Errors was an interesting specimen. He had the size. He had the athleticism. He had the desire. He put in the effort. He played his role.

Unfortunately, none of that matters if you just suck at basketball.

Seemed like an alright guy...Tim seemed to like him....but good riddance, tbh.

Now we have Boban to overrate and throw under the bus fwiw.
