Ugh.

Today's PATFO :lmao




:pop: Now we have two fatheads to balance each side of the bench

[spursistan]

Watch this washed nigga play over Dedmon in the playoffs :lmao

Just when you thought Pop was done with TOSBs after last year awful experience with Kmart/West/Diaw/Miller..

Don't see what the big deal is tbh. Spurs need some end of the bench insurance and he barely even plays with Gasol being out. Everyone knows spurs aren't making any trades

[Fireball]

bullshit decision .... Spurs were fine while Gasol was out ... Anthony did not contribute at all

[kaji157]

Kind of a fuck you move to the fans that were hoping for a surprise signing or trade. Could have waited and sign him near the playoffs just to be ready if some player/trade becomes available.

I was really hoping for the FO to try and trade Patty for something more reliable.
If Tony is going to start anyway, and Murray can somehow also have sporadic scoring quarters, then i thought it would be wise to add some reliable role player.

That would require PATFO to actually do something

Why would anyone give the Spurs someone more reliable for an expiring Patty?

[r0drig0lac]

reddit source...

[james evans]

why? He's not going to play much unless Popovich is throwing a game. and he doesn't need Anthony for that

[tbdog]

It is just a 2 min insurance player. Need to do a hack a Jordan? Deadmon and Gasol out in foul trouble and need someone to box out Adams for a few minutes. At the end of the day, Anthony would likely be more usable than Forbes. That guy won't be active in the playoffs. Come to think of it, probably Anthony as well.

[Chinook]

Don't love this, but happy for Anthony. He played well enough to earn a spot in camp. It's like they're trying to make up karmatically for Butler.

[spursistan]

It's mind-boggling how PATFO are seemingly content with their guard depth when it is easily the team's chief underbelly :lol..

Guess, it's TOSB Parker/TOSB Ginobili/Microwave/D-League/ J Simms FTW..:rolleyes

Anthony is about as good of a 15th guy you could have. He proved himself during the preseason and has been a serviceable garbage minute guy in his short stints.

Pau is gonna still be out a while, and if another big goes down (*knock on wood*), we could use another guy to patrol the paint. The guards and wings have enough to mix it up if they need to.

[TimDunkem]

Last big on the bench so it isn't a big deal. It's more upsetting how shitty the two guard rotation is.

[ace3g]

Can he be added to any trade now? Especially if used as a filler to make salaries match?

He averages 2pts and 2reb for his career :lol add the fact he's a TOSB

Spurs could have definitely done better with that 15th spot. Maybe give a D-League big man that's killing it a 10-day or something.

Just by glancing at some of their stats I could name you 2. Shawn Long (20.6pts, 11.2reb, 1.4blk) and Keith Benson Jr (21.1pts, 10.8reb, 2.7blk)

:pop: Joel will push us over the edge in a series against Warriors

I don't understand it, I agree theres probably tons of dudes who would play extremly hard we could have got from the dleauge who are way better than him.

Probably this. Plus he's a sparring body, an additional practice partner, and having being through training camp and preseason, apparently understands what Pop wants to do.

its just a confirmation though that this group they have right now is it. Getting his young guys to play better is about all Pop can do at this point to improve his group. (Fingers crossed).

[140]

It's amusing how some people refuse to ever criticize PATFO tbh :lol

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

He's barely going to be playing, if at all. Not a bad move at all. He's about as solid as a guy in his position can get. Just toss him in if a game turns to absolute shit.

[SAGirl]

This is the Spurs current move... nothing against him as a 15th player... but stop dreaming trade machine fans...

Elite teams like Warriors and Cavs are signing D-League all stars and trying them out. There's plenty of role players there who just need a shot

Exactly why not try Jefferson over this dude? Bring up Hollis Thompson to play the 2 guard.

[AaronY]

Eww

[ElNono]

Weren't we just talking about Pop being in love with signing vets mid-season? At least it appears he won't take mins from the younglings (so far).

[TheGreatYacht]

Murray is probably in Austin the rest of the year :lol no way Pop makes Anthony ineligible

[TheDoctor]

J.Anthony now wishing the Red Mamba doesn't come out of retirement tbh.

[playbonner15]

Parker and mills suck but dedmons foul prone

[TheGreatYacht]

Get this man off the team man wtf :lol

Give some D-Leaguer a shot, I don't care.

Never understood this signing other than a banging body for practice :lol..It is not like the guy is some past great they are having around young guys...He is a career 2ppg/2rpg scrub..

[GSH]

LOL. I guess my Joel Anthony shrine went too far? I haven't had a thread deleted in a long, long time.

That was about as bad as it gets tonight.

[TheGreatYacht]

PATFO's legacy.

Duds now have numerous guys that can guard Kawhi 1 on 1 (when they're not doubling that is): Barnes, Iggy, Klay, Draymond.....

Their defense since picking up Matty Barnes has been incredible.

I have always really liked Barnes, and I really wanted the Spurs to grab him. But that was a pipe dream. If you are Matt, and both the Dubs and the Spurs come calling - who do you sign with?

He was without a team for a couple of weeks. Warriors had even signed Calderon instead of Barnes until Durant got hurt and changed everything.

Buford was never interested. He saw something in Joel Anthony who in his prime averaged 2pts and 2rebs. Not even the Bible can tell me what numbers he would put up now that he's washed

True. I had forgotten about the timing. I don't think RC saw Barnes as having "Spurs character" for whatever reason. Truth be told, I'd have taken Calderon over Joel. Don't know why RC didn't make that switch. Bet he wishes he had!

[Spurs da champs]

Everytime Barnes has been a FA, I swear the Spurs have been interested, it seems the feeling was never mutual.

[TheGreatYacht]

2 minutes, -8 :lol

Did PATFO get him so Pop can put him in and the other team comes back?

[TheGreatYacht]

Can't even get playing time when there's like 4 players available:lmao

But but every player is dying to play for Pop. :rolleyes

[gambit1990]

can't stand this signing.

even him being in training camp was absolutely pointless.

:pop: he's someone who has gotten over himself.

Spurs have been getting outran off the court these past few years, looking like the old geezers they are.

What does this POS do? Brings in TOSB Gasol and Lee, and brings Ginobili back.

Remember those Andre Miller and Kevin Martin signings? :lmao .... this retard downie can't see what's right infront of him.

Probably drinks too much while watching the game at the AT@T.

Didn't someone say people were fighting because they were drunk a few days ago. :lol

Ban those damn beers.

But no one is ever going to talk because they got kawhi :cry

Not that long ago someone made a thread saying the AT&T Center sold the most alcoholic beverages. Also, just last week Poop spent $800 at a bar. Kawhi better hop off this ride before it ends in a fatal crash thanks to a drunk at the wheel.

[DAF86]

What did the Rockets give to get Williams? Brewer and a pick? Or just Brewer? Why can't we ever get a trade like that? Do PATFO even pick up the phone to try and get a steal like that?

Not enough hands. PATFO have booze on one hand, Bonner's pocket on the other.

[TheGreatYacht]

Everyone dreaming of CP3 and Millsap :lol

Knowing our GM, we'll settle with Knee-Rose, Game manager Hill, or Shelvin Mack
