Buyout Watch...

[TheGreatYacht]

So far it's looking like:

Andrew Bogut
Deron Williams
Terrence Jones
Matt Barnes

[sasaint]

Yeah but does another team sign him or does he go back to FC Barcelona or somewhere else in Europe and end his career there?

His time in the NBA is over.

[HarlemHeat37]

Jones would be a nice acquisition for somebody, tbh..3 quality buyout options, this year, first time in years IIRC..

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Surprised NO couldn't get even a 2nd for T Jones. Crazy market. No real set value for any type of asset.

[gambit1990]

So far it's looking like:

Andrew Bogut
Deron Williams
Terrence Jones
Matt Barnes
would easily take two of these over forbes, joel.

[cd98]

Spurs have been big on Brewer in the past. Wonder if he is a buy out candidate. He's a good defender, but probably not a good enough shooter to beat out Anderson, which is saying something.

[sasaint]

:bobo

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

After playing for the min Jones will want to go somewhere he can get a lot of minutes and get paid in the summer. This is the very reason he might be waived by NO. There's no way he'd want to sign for the Spurs.

[HarlemHeat37]

Deron Williams might be getting bought out, too, apparently..

[sasaint]

Deron Williams might be getting bought out, too, apparently..

What's his D like anymore?

First Houston and then the New Orleans? Jones should do the next logical step and go down I-10 west for seven/eight hrs to San Antonio.

I have always liked TJones, but I think it is too late for him to hook up with the Spurs.

[Proxy]

would rather the team go after Deron or Barnes then a redundant Bogut

[TheGreatYacht]

Bad news for us in our race for second place if Bogut goes to Houston tbh..

They would've addressed their 2 biggest needs, which was a ball handler in Lou when Harden is out and a defensive center in Bogut.

[kaji157]

I think everyone would agree with you, unless Gasol´s not healing correctly.

Deron Williams would be nice Patty insurance

[CGD]

834851192224219136

Why would SA want Bogut and not try to trade for the other bigs then that were available cheaply?

What if Dedmon and/or Lee leave this summer? Wouldn't it be good to have some insurance? Bogut would be solid off the bench. Also, Dedmon has been great this season, but we really don't know how that would translate to the playoffs.

[TD 21]

I think people are reading too much into the Spurs' interest in Bogut. They obviously don't have a rotation spot to offer, so what this probably is, is due diligence. He's obviously significantly better than Anthony, so they'll likely reach out just for the hell of it, but they have to know he ends up with the Celtics or Cavaliers.

[JuneJive]

Did some digging in the CBA FAQ...

If D-Will gets claimed, the other team has to pay him his current salary.
What was bugging me was, why doesn't, say Denver, claim him and mess up Cavs plan. Now I know. Nobody wants to waste that kind of money.

Also, the waiver process occurs after both waive or buyout phase.

[Chillen]

If Bogut and Williams get bought out they will probably both sign vet min deals with Cleveland. It's Cuban's way of sticking it to the Warriors.

[gambit1990]

bogut and deron would be good pick ups for the cavs.

[LittleCriminal]

Spurs can only offer the vet min..
Houston can offer 3 or 4 mill per yr for Bogut.

[gambit1990]

sign deron. he's old but he's always had better court vision than tony, is a much more natural pg.

really wouldn't be surprised if he did better than what tony "does" for this team.

[CGD]

Have the Spurs been linked to deron before?

[CGD]

Can someone refresh us on how contracts off waivers work? Is it always the team with most money that wins the claim? Can a team offer multiple years, or just the length of the remaining years of the players current contract?

[spurraider21]

Have the Spurs been linked to deron before?yes, he's fat. fits right in

[DPG21920]

Can someone refresh us on how contracts off waivers work? Is it always the team with most money that wins the claim? Can a team offer multiple years, or just the length of the remaining years of the players current contract?


The player stays "on waivers" for 48 hours (including weekends and holidays), during which time other teams may claim the player and assume his contract. If no team has claimed the player before the end of the waiver period (which is always 5:00 PM Eastern Time), he "clears waivers." The player's contract is terminated and he becomes a free agent. The only way to terminate a contract early (other than with an ETO -- see question number 59) is through the waiver process.1

A team can claim a player on waivers only if one of the following is true:

The team is far enough under the salary cap to fit the player's entire salary.
The team has a Disabled Player exception for at least the player's salary (see question number 25), and the player is on the last season of his contract.
The team has a trade exception for at least the player's salary (see question number 85).
The player has a minimum salary contract (one or two seasons at the minimum salary, with no bonuses of any kind).

If a team makes a successful waiver claim, it acquires the player and his existing contract, and pays the remainder of his salary -- the waiving team is relieved of all responsibility for the player. There is a fee of $1,000, payable to the league office, for claiming a player on waivers. If more than one team tries to claim a player on waivers, the team with the worst record gets him.

[kaji157]

Deron might be worse than before but he is still effective as a distributor. If he would be added now he would automatically be the best pg on the team in terms of points (13) and assists (7). And Second best in per (15), behind patty (16).
He will be a clear upgrade over Tony at least statistically.

[Down Under]

Surely Barnes doesn't have much left. Streaky shooter, who, at 36, isn't as good defensively as he was.

[Chinook]

By the letter of the rule, GS can sign Bogut, but it's been long speculated that the NBA considers that a loophole and would reject that signing.

[DrunkTXLabrat]

Terrence Jones. I'd have thrown Mills, Dedmon, and a pick our there for Okafor. i'd also have thrown out lame for Chriss, Chandler, and filler.

[SpurPadre]

By the letter of the rule, GS can sign Bogut, but it's been long speculated that the NBA considers that a loophole and would reject that signing.

Even if it would help ensure their coveted ratings gold for the rubber match Finals of Dubs vs. Cavs? I'm not so sure about that.

[BatManu20]

Cavs getting both Deron Williams and Andrew bogut will be big.

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Cavs would be a perfect fit for both Bogut and Williams - they'd get playing time immediately and would be able to show off and chase their new contracts in the summer. Better than going somewhere as a 5th/insurance option.

[tbdog]

The salary strapped Cavs will add 3 key rotational players to their roster. Crazy hey.

Cavs would be a perfect fit for both Bogut and Williams - they'd get playing time immediately and would be able to show off and chase their new contracts in the summer. Better than going somewhere as a 5th/insurance option. I wouldn't be shocked to see Williams go back to the Jazz.

looking his first sac game doesnt look like he's gonna get cut. intersting name, instead, is gonna be Casspi...

[Steve-O-Matic]

I wouldn't be shocked to see Williams go back to the Jazz.

The only way that happens is if the Jazz claim him off waivers today in order to get to the salary cap floor, which very well could happen. If they don't, he's signing with the Cavs. We'll know today.

[mo7888]

I think most of us would like to see us waive Anthony and sign a backcourt player but, if patfo are just determined to have that 15th spot be a front court guy I'd be interested in kicking the tires on Larry Sanders instead if we can sign him for a cheap two year deal with next year being a team option. He would not help much this year but he'd be cheap insurance for next season if Dedmon bolts.

He is talented so it's not crazy that chinook and some other fellows wanted him. But you can't get fat in your contract year. He did it with Boston and then did it again in Toronto.

He has nobody but himself to blame. Lost a shit load of money in a market that is giving tons of money to mediocre talent.

[LittleCriminal]

Funny how we all know nothing is going to happen with our current roster but yet some of us still blabber/argue on a bunch of hypotheticals, pipe dreams, falsehoods and flat out idiocy.

In an objective sense, that would be unexpected and interesting to see where he ended up, and especially who might get waived by his new team to make room for him. But he would never garner any interest from PATFO.

[Chinook]

He's bigger than Jennings and in some ways would be an improvement over Simmons. The Spurs could offer decent minutes. You'd think NO would be the better choice if he's really playing for a new contract.

LOL at all the Rose bashing, for the vet min what do you have to really lose?

[TheGreatYacht]

:lol Derrick Rose

Not only does he hate taking back seats to superior players, is an accused rapist, has an over inflated ego, thinks to highly of himself..... he's also dumber than a fucking rock.

He's going to demand a starting spot. He's not better than Parker or Mills. Period

[Ice009]

How the fuck did he think anyone was calling the Knicks a superteam? What made him say that?

Who's been the better player between Rose and Brandon Jennings this season?

And do players need to be bought out/waived before March 1st to be playoff eligible?

[look_at_g_shred]

Seeing Jennings is more than likely headed to charlotte

[TheGreatYacht]

Lowry out the rest of the regular season. Jennings or Rose should go there

[BillMc]

Lowry out the rest of the regular season.
The East parting for LeBron like the Red Sea.

WTF happened? I didn't know he had a big injury? You also said "regular season", does that mean he's projected to be back by playoff time?

Anyone wanting Brandon Jennings? Just got released from the Knicks in hopes of signing with a contender.

[spursistan]

Lowry playing the ASG with bum wrist is nuts :lol..

Toronto...

Toronto...

With Lowry out, could be a decent possibility. But being realistic, Toronto stands 0 chance of being actual contenders.

[Nathan89]

Guys, Derrick fucking Rose was accused of breaking into a woman's apt and gang-rape her. The same with Collison and his domestic violence charges. There's Zero chance those guys play with the Spurs under PATFO's reign.

So now the spursncam choose caspi or Barnes...caspi is probably good for a three or two.

[szkorhetz]

If the Cavs get Bogut, this year's finals will be epic.
Deron vs Calderdon, West vs Bogut, Williams vs Igu.

[TheGreatYacht]

Hope Mills and Lee and can convince Bogut to be our 3rd Center...

[SAGirl]

Casspi would be a nice pickup
He
is injured. OUt for the season that is why Pelicans waived him. They need bodies.
He would be a nice pickup if healthy. Right now he doesn't do anything.

Bogut is expected to hold talks with Celtics, Cavs, Rockets, and Spurs per ESPN.

The Australian connection with Patty may help us.

[Joseph Kony]

Bogut is gonna pull a bitch move and go to cleveland imo

[Joseph Kony]

the team i think he would make the most impact for is the Rockets though...he can play in a 3 happy system and he would easily be the best defensive player on their squad. can you imagine flopping harden getting illegal screens from this guy :wow

[Snaq O'Meal]

I'm not sure he's even on good terms with Patty. He appears to be an abrasive character who recently had a public spat with Liz Cambage on some racial issue.

But Bogut as a dirty motherfucker is an asset, and fake tough guys like Raymond and Blake may not want any piece of him in post-season clashes.

[gambit1990]

Gambit actually provides stats and backs up his opinions with some objective information....
He's just relentless but I respect him.
that's a very apt description :toast

[LakerHater]

Brandon Jennings got waived

[SpursFan86]

Bogut has apparently narrowed it down to 4 teams: SA, Cleveland, Houston, and Boston. Hopefully he goes to Boston.

[LakerHater]

Bogut goin to Cleveland jus to stick it to GSW in the finals!!

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol Bogut is more fragile than ever, tbh..people are enamored with names, though..

Joel Anthony doesn't do anything, either. Casspi kind of interests me. I'd like to know what kind of rights the Spurs would have next season... Chinook?

[gospursgojas]

Bogut is slow and fragile. What does he provide to spurs that they already don't have?

[BatManu20]

:lol Bogut is more fragile than ever, tbh..people are enamored with names, though..

[Spurs9]

They just need to save him for the finals to troll GS tbh, you know him and Bogut will go at it. Bogut could probably pry another suspension out of Green tbh

[HarlemHeat37]

^^I understand the reason for signing Bogut..if you add him, you're just banking on 2 or 3 playoff moments from him, though, which is fine for the minimum and backup C(I don't know why the Spurs are linked to him, however)..

[tbdog]

No links to Splitter?

The first question is, do you think the Spurs are actually after him? If so, I assume they want to stay big at all times and go the opposite of small ball. I assume his defense is still better than Gasol's or has he dropped off this season? That might also be a reason they want him. They may want a defensive presence on the floor at all times so the guards can be more aggressive defensively. They also might want those so called 'screens' of his.

Edit : Just thought of another reason. If they sign Bogut and play him minutes at the expense of Pau, that could cause Pau to opt out freeing up more money for the Spurs. Not sure if the Spurs would do something like that, though.

None. NO should still have EB if they pick him back up, though.

Well, there went that idea. Thanks, Chinook.

I'm glad GS won't have a cakewalk in the finals tbh

Either would have some use. MCW would be great for defense, but he's really a damned cancer and can't shoot.

He was one of Kawhistorm's favorite trade targets. What has happened to Kawhistorm? I haven't seen any of his posts in awhile.

[Ice009]

Has Bogut been bought out/waived yet? If so, has he committed to the Cavs?

I miss that guy with his pejorative but funny nicknames for everybody and his trade suggestions at least three times a week.
I think with the "deceptive site" he was run off from visiting.

[Spur|n|Austin]

The buyout's been agreed upon, Bogut is now apparently "evaluating contenders".

Wait, maybe I should apologize:

Bogut wouldn't have much playing time here. He's going to Cleveland imho

[gambit1990]

sean elliott said whoever lands bogut is the favorite to win it all.

Damn Sean is pretty high on him.

[cd98]

Sean Elliott overstates it, but people here are under rating Bogut. GSW win the title last year if he's not injured. He plays good D, rebounds, and can score on occasion. He's also a great passer and uh screener. He would be a get, though doubt he comes to what would be a crowded Spur front court.

[SpursFan86]

I just don't think Bogut is a very good match-up against the teams we'd be most concerned about (GS, Cleveland, LAC), and it'd just give Pop another person to potentially play over Dedmon, which I don't want to happen.

I mean sure, he'd be an upgrade over Anthony obviously and would be nice insurance for if Dedmon/Pau got injured...but that's about it IMO.

[Leetonidas]

Yeah bogut is unnecessary. Let him go to Cleveland and injure himself in the first round there tbh. He doesn't deserve PT here over any of our current bigs.

He was making a difference defensively against Cavs last year in the finals until he got hurt. He's another big you can use to pound KD and Green when GSW tries to get away with playing them at the 5. And you keep him away from other teams.

[look_at_g_shred]

I think Bogut would be good just for the Intel on GSW.

[Ron Swanson]

Damn Sean is pretty high.

[Spur|n|Austin]

Unfortunately only that and the hoarding of him from other competitors are the only uses he has for the Spurs. We're already pretty solid in the front court.

[Hoops Czar]

I wouldn't even think twice about replacing Lee with Bogut.

[cd98]

Bogus...nevermind. Against the Cavs he averaged 3 points, 3 rebounds, and 2 blocks in 12 minutes. The Warriors were outscored by 9 points per 100 possessions with him on the court. He can bang with bigs. Maybe that's all he's good for at this point in his career.

[gambit1990]

i hope the spurs sign him. HUGE upgrade over joel anthony. you never know if one of dedlee will get injured in the playoffs.

[DisAsTerBot]

Why would he want Anthony's spot in the rotation?

[gambit1990]

i never said he would.

if he did sign with us he would have a bigger role than joel though. spurs are in contention for him for a reason.

[sasaint]

:lol Wonder would he share?

[gambit1990]

lee and bogut would be motivated as fuck against the warriors. if they were on the floor together against them, their corporate knowledge would not be a negative for us.

[gambit1990]

spurs don't have that "enforcer" type. bogut would definitely add physicality.

[Spurs9]

Exactly, between him and Lee. Bogut ain't afraid to do some hard screens on the dubs

[RD2191]

Jennings to the Wiz.

[Spurs9]

OKC got Norris Cole.

[szkorhetz]

If we'll face the Clippers in the PO there is a point about bringing him in, if we don't there is simply doesn't make sense.

[jermaine]

Sooooo if the Spurs sign anotha big, who loses playing time? Dedmon??? He's playing the most consistent of all the bigs... We know the Spurs ain't gonna cut LMA or Gasol's mins. Fuck Bogut... sign Matt Barnes an call it ready for the playoffs. Split Simmons an Ginobili's mins to have Simmons ready too.

Yeah man. I'd like Bogut if we didn't have one of those three. He doesn't put the Spurs over the top.

[gambit1990]

You don't think the Spurs have a chance to make the Finals? I do. Not saying it's likely but it's possible. The thing that sucks for the Spurs is if they beat the Warriors they have to be a stacked Cavs team with LeBron to.

[spursistan]
