Are we gonna want in on the potential Bogut deal?

[sananspursfan21]

Bogut won't want anything to do with Philly. He'll request a buy-out. Is that too much on the front court?

[sasaint]

Pass.

[DAF86]

If the Sixers buy him out, can the Warriors get him? If so, that would suck major ass and would consider getting him just so that the Warriors don't.

[Mr. Body]

He'll go to the Warriors. Watch.

[bklynspursfan]

He'll go to the Warriors. Watch.

idk if he can.. that was my first thought too tho

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

He can't go to the Warriors this season.

[Mr. Body]

I just saw that. He can't go back to the Dubs. Can after a year.

[sananspursfan21]

Oh no. He was traded. I'm not brushed up on waiver specifics but my fingers are crossed that disqualifies them waiver wise...

[sananspursfan21]

I just saw that. He can't go back to the Dubs. Can after a year.

Phewwwwwwww

[Dex]

Could still go to the Cavs for the minimum though.

[Mr. Body]

Phewwwwwwww

He can still sign there this summer.

[spurraider21]

cavs would probably be favorites imo... but it should be considered than he's already situated in texas and SA would be an easier move

still, not sure he's necessary since dedmon is already the defensive big who is playing really really well

[SpursFan86]

Yeah, he seems a bit redundant with how Dedmon has played. Also think Dedmon is a much better matchup for the teams we'd be worried about in the playoffs...Bogut isn't as mobile or good in the PnR as Dedmon. Then there's obviously the injury concern aspect as well.

[mo7888]

He wouldn't be coming to replace Dedmon...he'd be coming to replace Joel Anthony as a 5th big if he came at all.

[HarlemHeat37]

If I'm Bogut, I probably join the Celtics, Cavs or Raptors..

[spurraider21]

He wouldn't be coming to replace Dedmon...he'd be coming to replace Joel Anthony as a 5th big if he came at all.the only reason joel anthony was needed was because pau gasol went down... once pau is back those minutes are gone. bogut is pointless

[mo7888]

He's not coming here but, he wouldn't be pointless...He'd be better than Joel which makes us a better team. He'd be insurance in case Pau or Dedmon get hurt later in the season. He's is also a strong guy to put in the middle in situational play if we draw a team with a physical C in the 2nd round.

[Russ]

The Spurs do have a lotta bigs.

But Bogut is way more physical than any big the Spurs have.

[TXstbobcat]

Anyone else watching the NBA trade deadline show on NBATV right now??

Nothing but yakking about Jimmy Butler and the Bulls...

ah. I'm resigned to not hearing anything regarding the Spurs. Wouldn't mind to see someone make a move in the East to challenge Cleveland.

[TXstbobcat]

i kind of think this show is going to be centered around the Celtics, Bulls, and Pacers.

[dabom]

Drop Forbes. No one is denting that pg, sg rotation.

[dabom]

Get bogut.

[TXstbobcat]

ah. I'm resigned to not hearing anything regarding the Spurs. Wouldn't mind to see someone make a move in the East to challenge Cleveland.

Yeah. I doubt they even mention the Spurs on the show.

[sasaint]

Not gonna hear anything about the Spurs until (possibly) the buyout deadline for making playoff rosters.

[gambit1990]

i'll take him over forbes.

[sasaint]

i kind of think this show is going to be centered around the Celtics, Bulls, and Pacers.

Ho-Hum, Knicks up next.

[DJR210]

I couldn't even fathom the thought of having to look at that fucking retarded face he makes for the remainder of the season tbh.. I fucking hate that retarded looking bastard

[TheGreatYacht]

Drop Joel Anthony

[gambit1990]

cut forbes or anthony rc.

[ceperez]

With Pau coming back, then Anthony is likely out. Bogut is a good rim protector. Someone Spurs need.

[Keepin' it real]

If the Spurs wanted an injury-prone white boy, they'd re-sign Tiago.

[SpurPadre]

Dubs are getting him back, tbh.

[FvckMavs]

Marc SteinVerified account‏@ESPNSteinLine 2m2 minutes ago

Cleveland's Andrew Bogut interest is well-chronicled but sources say San Antonio /Houston will join the hunt if Bogut lands a Philly buyout.

[Spurs9]

Dubs are getting him back, tbh.

They can't this year.

[HarlemHeat37]

Why wouldn't he join a team where he's guaranteed minutes/role, though?

[gambit1990]

Why wouldn't he join a team where he's guaranteed minutes/role, though?
maybe he really likes patty :lol

[Spur|n|Austin]

Why wouldn't he join a team where he's guaranteed minutes/role, though?

It sounds like he wants to play for a contender.

[cd98]

TBH, Spurs need this guy. They have no one on the roster that will lay out a guy with a flagrant 1 foul. This guy has no fear of doing that besides also being a good pick and role guy, defender, and passer. That said, he's also made of glass. Good news front...Patty has the inside track.

[Proxy]

Bogut is the perimeter player the team needs.

[TheGreatYacht]

Bogut is the perimeter player the team needs.
You can blame RC for standing pat. We don't get to be picky when scraping from the bottom of the barrel

[kaji157]

Is there a chance Philly waives Splitter and NOT Bogut??
That would be great for us, as we can add something more needed for us right no and no one gets Bogut.

[TheGreatYacht]

Splitter hasn't played in like 3 years

[kaji157]

Splitter hasn't played in like 3 years
Exactly, it makes sense that they waive him instead of Bogut.

[CGD]

I'd sign him for rest of the year and give a 1+1 after. Cheap Dedmon and/or Lee insurance.

[TheDoctor]

This aint 2013 anymore son. Forget Splitter, he's done. He gonna be paying with some Mexican team in Bahía Blanca next year.

[SURGE]

I would really like the SPURS to go after Terrence Jones

[kaji157]

This aint 2013 anymore son. Forget Splitter, he's done. He gonna be paying with some Mexican team in Bahía Blanca next year.

Why would i want Splitter?
I just want Bogut to be forced to stay in Philly.

Got it now :toast

[bklynspursfan]

Turns out they can

[Spurs9]

Yeah, not sure if they want him back or not. Hasn't he been injured?

[ceperez]

Spurs are pretty much screwed if Bogut is with GSW. Our bigs just can't dominate enough.

[bklynspursfan]

Idk if he would want to go back either, I'm sure he wasn't thrilled being traded

Bad news if Rockets get Bogut...

The Spurs' advantage over them is our frontcourt with Kawhi, LMA, Dedmon/Pau. If they get a true rim protector/good big defender, our advantage is no longer that significant.

Also they have points from the bench with Williams now. I don't like how Rockets are moving...

[TheDoctor]

Idk if he would want to go back either, I'm sure he wasn't thrilled being traded

Business is business. If he took it personal that's on him.

[TimDunkem]

Spurs are going to stand pat, I'm sure...Not that would be a good thing.

Guess the Spurs are fine with old men, and wastes of space like Forbes, Anderson, and Anthony.

[itzsoweezee]

Andrew Glass will play 5 games the rest of the year because of injuries. No thanks.

[BatManu20]

Cavs or Rockets is my guess.

[BatManu20]

RC & Pop interested.

I think he wants a shot at revenge against the Warriors in the Finals after he was upset about being traded.

So the Cavs are completely strapped for cash, way over the cap, but still snatching BOTH these guys? Why even have a cap?

Crazy.

But Lebron needs more help. No one can win a title alone like he does.

[jbspurs]

This is why we need him, we need someone in the middle who will battle and do some dirty work.

[dabom]

Bogut is dirty. Not low dirty, but try to piss you off dirty.

Crazy.

With all of the exceptions, the NBA has almost no cap, and the new CBA doesn't seem to change that as far as I have been able to pick up here on ST. In fact, the new CBA is likely to do more harm than good to the league. I have never really understood why the NBA couldn't adopt a real cap like the NFL. The NBA's labyrinthine "cap" is more like the US tax code in its complexity.

[Dex]

Same way that Miami was able to draw in talented veterans on the cheap. They are all chasing an easy ring, and they know that being with Lebron in the East is pretty much a stamped ticket to the fucking Finals.

[tmtcsc]

This aint 2013 anymore son. Forget Splitter, he's done. He gonna be playing with some Mexican team in Bahía Blanca next year.

Nicely done. :toast

[cd98]

This aint 2013 anymore son. Forget Splitter, he's done. He gonna be paying with some Mexican team in Bahía Blanca next year. More like he'll be on a roster. I don't think he actually will ever "play" again.

Disclaimer: Haven't followed Bogut this season.

I said at the start of the season that I'd rather have Bogut if I knew he'd be healthy for the whole season, but since you can't rely on that, I'd prefer Gasol. I'd take Bogut 9/10 times if I knew he'd be healthy and be able to stay healthy.

[Leetonidas]

:lol Cavs so desperate

[jermaine]

Disclaimer: Haven't followed Bogut this season.

I'm assuming here so forgive me... But I'm sure after this 1st half, you're rethinking what you said...

[gambit1990]

per sports illustrated:

He is sure to draw interest from contenders hoping to add a rim protector, including the Spurs and aforementioned Rockets. One team Bogut won’t join: the Warriors. Bogut can’t reunite with his old team due to the Zydrunas Ilgauskas rule, which forbids teams from signing a player it traded or released within one year.

i know the latter is untrue though. article was posted on the 23rd.

[sananspursfan21]

I know we're loaded on the frontcourt (in theory) and ideally need perimeter help, but it seems that perimeter help might be a little scarce. Sometimes overkill in one area of a team can mask the lack of perimeter playmaking...I mean, fingers crossed. Bogut would be dying to knock his old team off, bad blood or not.

[sananspursfan21]

Close call!!! Spurs could have been the ones stuck with Glass Legs!

[Chillen]

Close call!!! Spurs could have been the ones stuck with Glass Legs!

He looked fine before the Heat player and his knee collided on that play. He ran out to play defense and their legs or knees collided. It was a freak injury man, if he signed with the Spurs maybe the outcome would have been different. It will be interesting to see if Cleveland waives him if he is out for months. Anyhow tough break for him, it must be really upsetting to be on a new team and get injured and not even be in the game for more than like 2 mins. Really he must be so frustrated right now. This sucks for Cleveland.

[cd98]

Poor LeBron. He needs more help!

[Keepin' it real]

If the Spurs wanted an injury-prone white boy, they'd re-sign Tiago.

I hate being right all the time ...

Now all they need is for DWill to go down, and they actually get a lot worse than they were before. Hell, they may be already.

LeBron already said he didn't think the Cavs were good enough without help. Now they whole team has to think they're not good enough. THAT's why you don't do that shit publicly.

At this point he couldn't play for any other team in the playoffs. But I don't know how long he'll be out. The Cavs may as well hold on to him unless he's out multiple months (can't come back until the Finals) and they also end up really needing that roster spot. Bogut could still give them 8-10 solid minutes per game in the Finals if he's healthy.

[TXstbobcat]

Is Tiago still on a roster or has he been waived?

He is still on the 76ers roster.

[james evans]

"it was all good just a week ago...."

[PingPong]

Less than a minute...

He is still on the 76ers roster.

That may be the biggest surprise of the whole buy-out/waiver season.

[NameLess Scrub]

He does. Gets a little with Bogut and bam! injury.

Lebron can't catch a break, tbh.
