What?

[spurraider21]

this would have been nice in 2013 tbh

[spurraider21]

also keith bogans 2.0?

[NASpurs]

Another Pelicans reject added to the team.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Have fun in Austin Lonnie walker

[TimmyBuckets]

Is this guy a decent defender at the 3?

[Spurs Brazil]

Quincy Pondexter's one-year deal with the San Antonio Spurs is partially guaranteed, The Athletic has learned.

[Chinook]

Like it well enough if it's a camp deal or if the team is at least willing to cut him. He's not a good player and never really was (as in he's much worse than Cunningham), so if he's guaranteed money or especially minutes, this deal is undesirable. But as something to maybe get his d-league rights? Fine. Not what the team needs but better than giving Crawford money.

[Dex]

At least it isn't Jamal Crawford, tbh.

[illusioNtEk]

30 years old
6'6
bad knee
used to be ok on defense... not so sure now
has a killer mid range.... lacks 3s

could be used for a good bench warmer

[Chinook]

Is this guy a decent defender at the 3?

Don't think so. He's about the same size as Danny Green without the background as a front-court player Danny had in school.

[Ron Swanson]

65-17 and the 1 seed.

[Pavlov]

Looks like a camp invite. Hard luck story.

Yaya... More washed up guys

[TheGreatYacht]

Joel Anthony type signing

[Drewlius]

At least he isn’t a complete liability when he puts the ball on the floor.

[KDKSpurs24]

I wish it said Acy... I read it too fast.

[phxspurfan]

lol classic. Cya Derek White u suck

Spurs gonna suck.

[TD 21]

I don't mind taking a look at him in training camp and if he shows signs of life (after looking finished last season), signing him to a partial guarantee and having him as the 13th man until early January, when 10 day contracts come into play and a decision has to be made. But if the following is true, then it's another non-sensical move . . .

will have an opportunity to compete for rotational minutes and also serve as a veteran leader for the Spurs' young core.

His career 3G% is 36, and he shot 43 one year on 3.8 atts/game.

[Chinook]

The Spurs should never acquire a player they don't think has a chance at a rotation spot. That goes double for a vet. All the quote suggests is that PATFO aren't set in their top 10 players. That's only healthy. If they really wanted to lock Quincy in, they would not have bothered to get that partial guarantee. I have him as less of a lock than Jimmer was a couple of years ago.

Hope so...if he makes the team, this team is really in bad straits.

So you're saying the Pondexter thread won't reach 300 pages?

[Dverde]

Why no 4 or 5 position player! Makes no sense.

[Chinook]

So you're saying the Pondexter thread won't reach 300 pages?

It'd be some real shit if we got some Pon fans in here as passionate as Spurt and his cohort were.

[Dverde]

[slick'81]

Gross

[Chinook]

Why no 4 or 5 position player! Makes no sense.

4 Gay, Bertans, Cunningham
5 Aldridge, Gasol, Poeltl, Eubanks

They can stand to bring in another PF or combo-forward, but they aren't exactly hurting at that position right now. SF is easily the weaker position.

[J_Paco]

Quincy Pondexter sucks and is washed up. The team needs to be looking for young, hungry, untapped talent not a guy with a bum knee, that is undersized and got cut by the Chicago Bulls.

[Leetonidas]

Spurs need wings/SFs not PF/Cs

Endorsed!

[TimDunkem]

Old.
Washed up.
Can't shoot.
Bad knees.

Should fit right in.

[spurraider21]

His career 3G% is 36, and he shot 43 one year on 3.8 atts/game.
he never shot 43% from 3 for a season. those were his numbers for half a season after getting traded to new orleans. he shot 37% for that season.

and then he missed the entire 15-16 and 16-17 seasons to injury.

then he came back and couldn't buy a bucket this past season

Yeah, it was more cliché and perfunctory than I initially gave it credit for. The reality is, he's probably a long shot to make the roster, let alone earn rotational minutes.

Hopefully they bring in some younger wings to compete with him for a spot. I'd rather take a flier on someone like Anthony Brown (struggled over parts of 3 seasons, but only 762 career minutes) than a reclamation project.

[bklynspursfan]

Plenty of other teams to support. You probably don't even realize he isn't a guarantee.

[Chinook]

Brown would be an interesting player with his combination of size and length. I was also on the Quincy Acy train. Hopefully the team signs Dangubic and Blossomgame to deals as well. They went into the 2011-2012 pre-season with guys like James Anderson and De'Sean Butler competing with Green for two-guard minutes. They had Joseph and DeColo and still added Mills to compete for the backup PG spot. I see nothing wrong with giving Pon a chance. But they need to scattershot this. The advent of two-way contracts and them still having d-league dibs in their pocket means they can afford to invest in a number of players and let them sort it out in camp.

[Holden_Caulfield]

lol we get a 3 & D guy who can barely play D because hes old and not really a threat at the 3.

i miss danny already

[superbigtime]

Didn't know this chump was still in the keague. wtf is this crap and why today

[anon]

Just Derozen's sparring buddy to make him look good in camp. 10th or 11th man during the actual season.

[BackHome]

He should be cut at end of camp no way he should make the team.........the same as Forbes.............SMH.

[MaNu4Tres]

Its not a guaranteed deal. Its like the Maggette deal years back.

A deal to see where he stands right now at the nba level since he’s had knee injuries in recent years.

[MaNu4Tres]

There was Bobby Simmons, Corey Maggette, and now its Quincy Pondexter.

Dont understand how fans cant see that.

[Larry O]

Well, it's off season, and aside from the Manu retirement announcement, Spurs fans need some click bait to annoy/amuse them. To be honest, this signing, I hope, sounds like it's just a camp invite to kick the tires on this guy, and to see what he has left in the tank. It seems that Pop just loves washed up old vets as insurance, but I prefer to give someone like Blossomgame a chance to prove himself that he is ready to take the next step in his NBA career. I'm crossing my fingers that he will be given the chance. Just allow him to sign a 2-way contract or perhaps a rookie contract as a way for the SAS to keep from putting all their eggs into one basket with him. What I've seen of Blossomgame is flashes of good possibilities, but unfortunately in the big league, Pop won't give him a chance just yet, unless he does some consistent things like play good defense and play smart. This is what he's inconsistent in, but hey, I think he would be much better fit than Pondexter at the stage of his career, unless Pondexter somehow shines in preseason and turns heads to the point that they commit to signing him to a full contract, but we will see. GSG!!!

[Dejounte]

Our PJ Tucker signing?

[ohmwrecker]

WTF?

[sasaint]

There was Bobby Simmons, Corey Maggette, and now its Quincy Pondexter.

Exactly, not really worth a thread even. Just an item for the Offseason Thread.

[gospursgojas]

I thought they signed this guy back in July?

[J_Paco]

Yeah, it was more cliché and perfunctory than I initially gave it credit for. The reality is, he's probably a long shot to make the roster, let alone earn rotational minutes.

Hopefully they bring in some younger wings to compete with him for a spot. I'd rather take a flier on someone like Anthony Brown (struggled over parts of 3 seasons, but only 762 career minutes) than a reclamation project.

Or Huestis if he can ever learn how to shot or score from outside the paint!

Correction, if he learns how to score at all. How does a professional basketball player shot 33% for the season?

The kid has James Johnson (without the ballhandling, playmaking and less athleticism) potential but he needs to become at least below average on offense. He is literally terrible and I see why he hasn't been even a small priority to return to OKC.

[DAF86]

Pondexter. Forever known as the Manu replacement. :lol

























Best of lucks son. :flag:

[dbestpro]

Well, at least he should be well rested.

[John B]

6’7” with 7.0 wingspan. He has quick lateral movements and suffocating size. He is Green’s replacement. Great explosiveness and athleticism but growth was plagued with injuries. Total team player. But at 31. I wish him well.

He didn't play for two years previously, so he could be well rested. At least he's got some length and basketball skills.

i miss danny already

He's as old as Danny Green.

[Truth4sale$]

Let the Rockets sign bruno caboclo to sign Quincy Poindexter. Brilliant. Should have simply kept Brandon Paul

[illusioNtEk]

Do you guys really think RC would make a mistake? Must have tried out and showed some skills that could fit into our system i'm sure.

Experience wins over young talent all day during playoffs.

Is like to see Dangubic, Blossomgame, and Uthoff compete for a roster spot. I'd also like one of the losers signed to one of the 2 way spots.

[Genovaswitness]

mills, gasol contracts, not signing simmons or dedmon or butler are most recent examples

[tbdog]

Imagine how awful our shooting be if Mills and Gasol were gone for Simmons and Dedmon.

Guyis 29 and only played 320 games, he's not that experienced.

[cd021]

True. Also it's not like Dedmon and Simmons blew up Atlanta and Orlando, they are pretty good players but certainly not the ones that got away.

Huestis is a no go for that reason, he played 4 years of college ball, a year in the G League and 3 more in OKC and still hasn't developed into even a decent shooter.

[NameLess Scrub]

Great thread guys. Can we put this guy into NBA2k and max his shooting or something?

[TheCerebral1]

Get used to holding Pop's clip board. God this off season has been pathetic.

[Dex]

I highly doubt this guy makes it past preseason, but of course, SpursTalk is going to freak out about every filler player until training camp starts.

Just a heads up...we still have to sign like 5 more guys who also probably aren't going to make the team, so save some of your vitriol.

[ducks]

imagine the spurs signing a mvp candidate for the 15 player on the roster
spur fans think that is possible

[Atl Spur]

If he’s healthy.....we got a player!

[BackHome]

Actually we know have two open roster spots and two G League two way contracts. So we are looking at four potential new players to be signed.

Spurs:
14. ?
15 ?

G League
1. Metu
2.

[D Emily D]

So true. Jakob Poeltl is already better than Dedmon and he's only 22.

Metu and Blossomgame for the two-way roster spots and only one of the two remaining spots get filled on the main roster.

Maybe Poindexter as the 14th man, if he impresses enough, but the 15th should be left for the buyout market and, hopefully, DeMarre Carrol.
