[slick'81]

Come n over wesley! Fatty mills and u can dine on fine mexican cuisine

[TDomination]

And wes Matthew's was born here in San Anyonio so he would be back at home!

[MannyIsGod]

I'd take Matthews if he wants to come replace Forbes.

[tbdog]

Wes isn't a SF though. Can he play it?

[slick'81]

Wes isn't a SF though. Can he play it?
Hes as tall as demar but maybe 250 ish

[DesignatedT]

Matthews blows.

[GreekSpursfan]

I can't believe i'm saying this but i prefer Forbes over Matthews.

[slick'81]

I can't believe i'm saying this but i prefer Forbes over Matthews.


Wesley is the patty mills of sg-fat and finished

[GreekSpursfan]

Wesley is the patty mills of sg-fat and finished

I think he's even worse than the analogy you just made. Mills at least tries.

[Dverde]

Matthews hates the Spurs. He is going ring hunting. OKC would be my guess.

[baseline bum]

Matthews is like 2003 Steve Smith. No thanks.

[TheGreatYacht]

What's the point of buyout threads :lol Drunkford is standing pat and players that get bought out will ring chase (ie not sign here)

[Ditty]

I believe I remember someone on here telling a story about how they went to high school with Matthews and would talk so much shit about the Spurs. Don’t know if that has changed since he has played in the NBA.

[HarlemHeat37]

I wonder if Jordan will accept a bench role, could be an elite backup big..

[cd021]

I wonder if Jordan will accept a bench role, could be an elite backup big..

Apparently he's been trash and the Mavs have some buyer remorse with him. Don't want.

[HarlemHeat37]

Apparently he's been trash and the Mavs have some buyer remorse with him. Don't want.

I don't want him for the Spurs, I'm just interested in seeing whether he seeks out a starting role..there aren't many teams remaining that would give him one, he's clearly on the decline..

He would be great in a backup role, though..

[RD2191]

Fat Al Roker looking mother fucker, fuck Matthew's.

[RC_Drunkford]

I don't want him for the Spurs, I'm just interested in seeing whether he seeks out a starting role..there aren't many teams remaining that would give him one, he's clearly on the decline..

He would be great in a backup role, though..

Jordan would immediately sign to the Rockets. They got Faried now, but they would still try to get him

[HarlemHeat37]

Jordan would immediately sign to the Rockets. They got Faried now, but they would still try to get him

That's what I was thinking, as well..backup to Capela..

Portland has wanted him in the past as well IIRC..

[Dverde]

Jordan would immediately sign to the Rockets. They got Faried now, but they would still try to get him

:lol Jordan going back to abusive boyfriend Chris Paul.

[TheGreatYacht]

The Lakers will have no depth once they trade for Davis. LeGM always makes sure he takes over the buyout market with pieces that don't fit but are names. You can bet his dumbass will call up on Matthews

[John B]

Apparently he's been trash and the Mavs have some buyer remorse with him. Don't want.
That rebound taking the ball from Luka was bad. Terrible team player. Not Spurs kinda player

[TheGreatYacht]

That rebound taking the ball from Luka was bad. Terrible team player. Not Spurs kinda player
Wait until you find out who our 3 best players are...

[Dre_7]

I believe I remember someone on here telling a story about how they went to high school with Matthews and would talk so much shit about the Spurs. Don’t know if that has changed since he has played in the NBA.

I wonder who that was. I have lived my whole life where Wes went to high school

[ducks]

Your mommy
I can't believe i'm saying this but i prefer Forbes over Matthews.

[tmtcsc]

:lol Jordan going back to abusive boyfriend Chris Paul.

Don't forget Rivers. He'll have the whole gang back together before too long.

[tbdog]

I don't want him for the Spurs, I'm just interested in seeing whether he seeks out a starting role..there aren't many teams remaining that would give him one, he's clearly on the decline..

He would be great in a backup role, though..

Wizards, Clippers, Pelicans all have starting spots available. Rockets will be lurking. Edit* and Boston.

[cd021]

That rebound taking the ball from Luka was bad. Terrible team player. Not Spurs kinda player
He's been doing that for his entire career. JJ Reddick talked about how pissed he would get for other teammates grabbing boards that he wasn't even close to grabbing. Gets old quick. Also declined physically, apparently.

[John B]

stats padder tbh

[Ron Swanson]

Fuck no on Matthews.

[RodNIc91]

I wonder if Jordan will accept a bench role, could be an elite backup big..

Maybe after this season. He has too much of an ego to accept a bench role right now

[gambit1990]

Matthews is like 2003 Steve Smith. No thanks.
:lol

[gambit1990]

if the spurs aren’t getting a SF i’d take deandre.

[DAF86]

How did DJ ended with the Clippers management? I could see him going back there if he wants to start for a team with playoffs aspirations.

[BatManu20]

I'd put my money on Deandre And Wes Matthews both choosing Houston over the Spurs if they were to be bought out, tbh. (Deandre is from HOU also, FWIW).

[BatManu20]

Spurs need a wing defender and another serviceable big, not another (old) spot-up shooter in Matthews tbh.

[DAF86]

DJ as a backup center makes a lot of sense for tons of teams. I don't know he'll take it tough.

[ace3g]

https://twitter.com/JabariJYoung/status/1093614866806464512

[timvp]

I don't see any names that interest me yet, tbh.

Spurs don't need a center, a washed up point guard, an undersized shooting guard or a perimeter player who doesn't play defense. That, unfortunately, disqualifies just about every player rumored to be in the buyout market.

[MoSpur02]

Omri Casspi will be waived.

[r0drig0lac]

They're all better than the lump of shit you saw on the floor last night. Beggars can't be choosers, tbh.

[Chillen]

Spurs got to go all in for DeAndre if he gets bought out by Knicks.

[slick'81]

Def arent finding a wing defender in that pile of crap

[slick'81]

Spurs got to go all in for DeAndre if he gets bought out by Knicks.

Even with poodle power&pau!?

[Gordy58]

Well Brewer is still available lmao

[Chillen]

Even with poodle power&pau!?

Yes. Why not?

Looks like Knicks are keeping him though.

[slick'81]

Yes. Why not?

Looks like Knicks are keeping him though.


I agree.Hes better then anything we have at c

[RD2191]

If the price is right:lol cheap ass mother fuckers

[Ron Swanson]

:pop: We like our scrubs.

[sananspursfan21]

Spurs got to go all in for DeAndre if he gets bought out by Knicks.

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I agree.

[GreekSpursfan]

Knicks will keep D.Jordan so all thats left is RoLo and my guess is that he will either go to the Bucks because his brother is there or the Warriors for a free ring.

[Clipper Nation]

How did DJ ended with the Clippers management? I could see him going back there if he wants to start for a team with playoffs aspirations.
He spent most of last season pouting and dogging it, only caring to statpad his rebounds, so I'd be surprised if he comes back now. Also, I think the Clippers are fine with just missing out on the playoffs and keeping our pick.

[Duncan87]

https://www.spurstalk.com/forums/blob:https://www.spurstalk.com/2ee3eee7-48cf-4b83-a669-5a19bb9b08b1

[mo7888]

Probably bring on Stauskas and Baldwin as the wing and back up PG... keep the uninspiring theme going..

[TD 21]

Teodosic and McLemore could make some sense as perimeter insurance, but even though Walker is clearly in over his head at the moment, I'm not sure it's worth it to further block him with minimal players.

Even if they are interested, I don't expect them or anyone who might generate interest elsewhere to sign here anyway. All the madness that went down the past few weeks, yet this was probably the least talked about team. This place has become an outpost and among the most irrelevant in the league.

I made that comment before West blew it all up, tbh. Also, I was talking about a hypotetical buyout situation.

[Hoops Czar]

Yeah, Whatever bottom of the barrel trash is left over after the Vultures are finished.

[sasaint]

Why?

[MoSpur02]

When Casspi is bought out, should the Spurs look into bringing him in?

[sasaint]

Yep. Our scrubs are as serviceable.

What about Corey Brewer?

[Hoops Czar]

What about Corey Brewer?
Stop it. :lol

[ace3g]

I won't stop, I think he has more serviceable qualities than Dante Cunningham.

[cd021]

I agree.Hes better then anything we have at c
Jordan's been pretty bad tbh and he's definitely not better than LMA or Poelt lol

[timvp]

When Casspi is bought out, should the Spurs look into bringing him in?

Isn't he injured and possibly out for the season?

Plus, his Warriors teammates hated him last season and then he got in a fight with a teammate on the Grizzlies this season. Something's not right with him, apparently.


What about Corey Brewer?

He looks like a better player than Cunningham or Pondexter. But there are some red flags with him because he can't hold down a job despite playing pretty well. The Sixers should have kept him based on his play ... but I guess he's bad in the locker room or something.

He played well in the short stint that he was with the 76ers. Maybe they let him go because the knew that they would be signing Harris and Simmons.

I would say that Brewer is definitely better and more mobile than Pondexter. Besides, Spurs desperately need a long and quick defender.

Something don't smell right, tbh. He has been available now for awhile, and nobody has signed him.

[marinoman]

I know all the options are shit, but what’s the best player left to want? McClemore

[HarlemHeat37]

Beg Manu to come out of retirement..

[ceperez]

Something don't smell right, tbh. He has been available now for awhile, and nobody has signed him.

The guys call the game against the Spurs where all praise about Brewer. Anyone's guess why he hasn't been signed elsewhere.

The consensus of the league though isn't always right. Nobody wanted to sign Brook Lopez, but now he's hitting shots from long range for the Bucks. There's Gerald Green that nobody wanted to get, but he's been doing well for the Rockets.

[Seventyniner]

This place has become an outpost and among the most irrelevant in the league.

Meh, the media mostly ignored the Spurs even when they were good.

https://www.nbcsports.com/philadelphia/76ers/brett-brown-trade-deadline-plans-corey-brewer-and-more

The Corey Brewer situation
Corey Brewer became a cult hero for Sixers fans during his two 10-day contracts. The man that went from playing superheroes with his kids to guarding James Harden is now available for any team to pick up.

The reason is flexibility. With the trade deadline so close, Brand and company wanted to keep their options open. It’s possible that no other team signs Brewer for the same reason.

Though Brown didn’t give the veteran wing a ton of run in his last two games, he still hoped that Brewer would find his way back to the Sixers.

“To not have him … you wish you did. But because of the period of time with trade deadlines coming up to lock down spots or money or whatever is not smart on the front office’s part. It doesn’t dismiss the fact that we may see him soon. He may be back in our locker room not too far away. But at this particular moment I understand why that decision was made and more importantly so does he.”

“I’d love to see him again. He’s just something that is easy and trusted and respected. He can handle not playing. You can put him in a game and say go stick some wing offensive player. He was fantastic.”

He is available as the Sixers did not sign him to the rest of the season. Like timvp stated, the buyout market doesn't really have a good wing defender so Brewer might be a decent fit for the Spurs.

Well, if he was good against Harden, the Spurs should get him. Perhaps Pop can get a scouting report from Brett Brown.

[FkLA]

Just fucking sign Brewer so you can atleast pretend like you give a fuck. What a fucking letdown (sooo many wings changing teams) but I'm not sure why I was expecting something different.

Good post. That was the reasoning I suspected. I really wanted the Spurs to draft Brewer when he left Florida, but he went too high. I don't think the Spurs have ever had him on their radar for some reason. If they signed him, I wouldn't be mad.

[monkeypunk]

Omri Casspi will be waived.

I'd be down for this, for realz

I seem to recall that there was an offseason that the Spurs was interested in him.

[sasaint]

I know all the options are shit, but what’s the best player left to want? McClemore

McLemore was the guy that ST wished the Spurs had acquired from SacTown back in 2015 instead of Alligator Arms McCallum. :lol

[sasaint]

I seem to recall that there was an offseason that the Spurs was interested in him.

I'll take your word for it. I don't recall. But he would probably be better than at least 3 guys currently on the team.

Brewer isn't that old, he's 32. Same draft class as Durant, Jeff Green and Belinelli. Drafted #7.

I don't get why he's not in the league.

He's the same age as Gay.

[slick'81]

Jordan's been pretty bad tbh and he's definitely not better than LMA or Poelt lol

Lol obviously lma is excluded and id def take jordan over poodle right now

Speaking of Jeff Green... I wonder if he is available. Justin Holiday also comes to mind. Idk what directions they should go in but I’d like to think of all the options out there

[sasaint]

I wi was calling for the Spurs to sign Brewer way before the Sixers picked him up

Would have cramped the Spurs' flexibility in all their deadline trade negotiations...

[Dverde]

Have the Spurs ever shown interest in Corey Brewer? I don’t foresee them having interest in him unless he is having a child custody battle (Forbes/DJ Murray), Spanish giraffe who can pass, or coming back from a career altering injury (Gay).

[ace3g]

I seem to recall that there was an offseason that the Spurs was interested in him.

2011 buyout season before Mark Cuban caught on that the Spurs were interested and threw a multi-year (more than vet minimum) contract at him.

[MoSpur02]

I was calling for the Spurs to sign Brewer way before the Sixers picked him up

[MoSpur02]

Markieff Morris will be available. Apparently Pelicans are releasing him. Not sure if he fits or if his injury is serious.

[Duncan87]

Thought Morris had significant injury?

[Mr. Body]

Corey Brewer would be the right kind of pick-up. Good character guy, decent defender.

[timvp]

If Markieff Morris is due back anytime soon, he'd be a pretty good pickup. He plays irrationally angry most of the time and has iffy basketball IQ but he'd be good Rudy Gay insurance as a stretch four and a total replacement for Dante Cunningham's role.

[MoSpur02]

Welp... Corey Brewer is no longer available.

[MoSpur02]

Kings are signing Brewer to a 10-day contract

[sasaint]

Markieff and Brewer would be very good gets - better than Dante and QPon. Won't happen, because "WLWWH.

[sasaint]

Kings are signing Brewer to a 10-day contract

I like what the Kings are doing. They will likely make the playoffs.

[MoSpur02]

I like what the Kings are doing. They will likely make the playoffs.


Yeah they are doing what they can to compete in the West. Good for them. That organization has been through some hard times.

[Joseph Kony]

I like what the Kings are doing. They will likely make the playoffs.

I did too until they decided to trade a solid prospect for Harrison Barnes' garbage ass :lol I like their young core but their FO is awful and they will inevitably fuck it up imo

[Stand]

I caught a blurb that Markieff Morris is getting a second opinion about his injury, neck/spine. I think he will be sitting on the shelf for a while yet.

[timtonymanu]

Even if Kieff was healthy, we know PATFO will stay away cause he doesn’t fit the culture. :rolleyes

[FkLA]

Kings are signing Brewer to a 10-day contract

Seriously, what the fuck is PATFO doing? I refuse to believe they went after Brewer too and he just decided to choose the worst run franchise of the past 10 years instead.

[Austin_Toros]

Does McLemore play D?

[sasaint]

I did too until they decided to trade a solid prospect for Harrison Barnes' garbage ass :lol I like their young core but their FO is awful and they will inevitably fuck it up imo

I side with the poster who said Harrison would fit well with the Kings and improve his play there. I think he will be a solid veteran leader on a very young team. They gave up a good prospect, but you can't build a team around too many young guys on a very similar career time line.

[Jsmoothexpress]

I won't stop, I think he has more serviceable qualities than Dante Cunningham.

[RC_Drunkford]

If Markieff Morris is due back anytime soon, he'd be a pretty good pickup. He plays irrationally angry most of the time and has iffy basketball IQ but he'd be good Rudy Gay insurance as a stretch four and a total replacement for Dante Cunningham's role.

no way Pop would sign him. He's not over himself

[exstatic]

How did DJ ended with the Clippers management? I could see him going back there if he wants to start for a team with playoffs aspirations.

Haven’t been keeping up with current events? They traded one of their best players, Harris, for scraps. If they make the playoffs, they lose their pick to Boston. Those aspirations are on hold for the rest of this year.

[mo7888]

So are there any wings left that would be better than Pon? Mclemore and Stauskas are out there, anyone else?

[RC_Drunkford]

So are there any wings left that would be better than Pon? Mclemore and Stauskas are out there, anyone else?

Pretty much everybody including a couple G-League players

[ace3g]

Pop keeps hammering transition defense but PATFO hasn't done anything about it - we don't have enough defensive oriented wings. Plus needed more wing size to limit Patty/Forbes combos.

Anus Cancer is the worst defensive big in the NBA, bar none. He moves worse than P Gasol, who at least tries.

[lmbebo]

Kanter is the worst or 2nd to worst pick n roll defender in the league ... Otherwise good on offense/rebounding?

[ace3g]

Still might have a chance at Brewer - he didn't play tonight while Barnes and Burks did (Kings went with a 10-man rotation tonight as well).

With the uncertainty that Gay/White will stay healthy the rest of the season + rest nights (Brewer has shown the propensity to step into starting lineups without skipping a beat), there would definitely be role for Brewer here.

Plus there are certain parts of the game, even when they are healthy, that neither is on court - and those are the minutes that we really struggle (no primary wing defender). Pop could stagger White, Gay, and Brewer throughout the game.

PATFO likes Pondexter because of his off the court contributions. Comes late and stays early.

PATFO only cares about education, winning is secondary.

[acoelho1]

Brewer brings toughness and intensity and is a pretty good defender. To me it’s a no-brainer but if they haven’t yet picked him up, it’s probably not likely. Looks like this is our team, warts and all.

[Strategic]

:pop: Whadda mean we don’t want Corey? I’ve been pursuing the brewer for fiddy years!

[dbestpro]

It would be nice if they tried to do something even if it is just an appearance like they want to improve the team. They seem to be acting like their a top seed and don't have a care in the world.

Making a roster change would be admitting a mistake.

[mo7888]

Of the available wings out there now I'd prefer Mclemore 1st then Stauskas..

Of the 4's available over Cunningham I'd prefer Morris (if healthy) and that's probably it right now..

Making too much money for it to be dead money for the Grizzlies. He's not giving up any of that money.

[Spursfanfromafar]

As much as it pains me to say this .. Carmelo Anthony is the only guy among the buyout lot that makes sense if the Spurs are desperate to get a player. I mean he would be better than QPon or Cunningham

As much as it pains me to say this .. Carmelo Anthony is the only guy among the buyout lot that makes sense if the Spurs are desperate to get a player. I mean he would be better than QPon or Cunningham

No, he isn't. He is a worse defender than Dante and maybe even QPon. Plus, he would jack up shots at 3X the rate of both of them combined. Hard pass.

I mean, if people want to cut Cunningham and Pondexter to make room that’s fine, but people acting like some buy out will come in and make an impact are sorely mistaken since the top 10 are set.

I know it was probably a typo (Bertans 2x - so top 10 not set) but adding a SF like Brewer (only looking at SFs) who IMO is way better than Cunningham and Pondexter. Again I think this team really struggles defensively in those minutes when neither White/Gay are in the lineup, those are the minutes that Brewer would play.

It works both ways. Saying the top 9 or 10 are set isnt just about the Spurs but if you are a fa looking for time to showcase your stuff, are you ok with playing only Cunningham/Pon minutes?

I think he could get more minutes than their minutes. Depending on matchups, he could get a minute or two from all of our "wings". One reason that Dante and QPon get so few minutes is because they are not very reliable, and neither has the defensive chops of Brewer.

Those are key minutes when we lose momentum - plus Brewer has shown even this year that he can impact games in any role. Never hurts to add another 3/D player that can guard 1-3.

Things might change in Sacramento but he was the only newly acquired player to not play last night and they used a 10 man rotation.

If you can't find minutes for versatile player like Brewer, there is something wrong with you. He is also a underrated ball handler and moves well without the ball.

Im not against signing someone; just pointing out the limitations both from sa and the players view themselves.

[r0drig0lac]

I do not (and probably the rest of the league), our roles are good (?), playing in our team, doing the designated role by Pop, putting Forbes on another team and he will be worse than Gary Neal (people here were comparing Forbes with Lou Williams lmao) , I have no doubt that players who have more talent could do similar functions by adding more overall talent to the team. Greg does not want to give that type of player a try (whether for chemistry, difficulty adjusting, culture or any other reason) that does not mean that the paper players who play here are better than many guys out there (even in the g-league), it's all a matter of opportunity

D yes. 3 not so much. Brewer is a career .283 shooter from 3P. He's also a career .425 shooter overall, which means that the only team whose FG% he wouldn't drag down is the Knicks.

Sadly, he would still be an improvement, because he does play on both ends of the floor. Adding him to the roster would give the Spurs a better chance of making it into the first round.

[Spurs da champs]

Alex Abrines is dealing with a “personal issue”. I doubt he signs with anyone this year. We still have Ex-Thunder Josh Huestis on the D League. I wonder how he is doing with his development. He had potential as a wing defender.

Corey Brewer would.

[ZeusWillJudge]

Corey Brewer would.

Corey Brewer would, indeed, make the defense better. Would you have the stones to move him into the starting lineup to play alongside LMA and Gay, and try to stop this dumpster fire defense? DeRozan might put up enough points playing against second units to make him a net positive. Brewer still gets a LOT of steals - would Pop let him play and disrupt, or would he try and force him into a now-nonexistent system?

Even with Brewer's help on D, you do know that without White, the best they would be looking at is still a first round exit? And from what I've heard about White's injury, I think the Spurs would be stupid to bring him back this year for that. Plantar fasciitis is nothing to screw around with, and White had an actual fascia tear in October. And make no mistake - after a fascia tear in October, and then going down with fasciitis a few months later, it will take months for him to be fully healed.
If they bring him back without it fully healed, it will be the final sign that this team needs a front office enema.

I don't know if Pop would insert him in the starting lineup, but if he did, I don't think he has to replace DeRozan. Brewer can play 2 or 3. Brewer has shown he is good at any role and believe me Harden definitely doesn't want to see him in a playoff series. Brewer would give Pop the ability to stagger minutes between White and Gay (our best perimeter defenders). Plus with Brewer, Spurs could go small (the right way) in crunch time. Imagine lineups of: White, Brewer, DeRozan, Gay, Aldridge. Plus you still have Bertans/Beli for floor spacing.

[ace3g]

Like last game, Kings go with a 10 man rotation and Brewer is only newly acquired to not play. Hopefully he is let go after his first 10-day with Kings.

Imagine lineups of: White, Brewer, DeRozan, Gay, Aldridge. Plus you still have Bertans/Beli for floor spacing.

No, I understand. I was specifically thinking about a starting rotation without DDR, for the defense. And maybe getting DeRozan out of his funk by letting him run wild on opposing 2nd units. I don't know of DeRozan's ego would allow for that, even if it was spun as a Manu-like role. The Spurs can put up enough points. They have to be able to stop the avalanches by getting some stops, if they're going to avoid a late season slide. I don't know how they do that with DDR on the floor and White off the floor.

I'd like it even better if White was in the mix. But I wasn't just being snarky about bringing him back this season. It's a really serious risk. After a fascia tear and another fasciitis flare up within about four months, I think it would be irresponsible to bring him back - as much as I'd like to see him playing. I don't even want to talk about the fallout if he develops a chronic condition, after all the talk about Kawhi not getting proper treatment (true or not). As far as I'm concerned, the Spurs should be planning the rest of this season as if White isn't here, so Brewer's versatile D would probably be as good as they are likely to be able to pull off.

[ace3g]

Maybe the timing will work where Gasol get a buyout opening a roster spot for Corey Brewer after his 10-day is over with the Kings.

The big mystery for me in sports during #NBATradeDeadline (https://twitter.com/search?q=%23NBATradeDeadline) and #BuyoutMarket (https://twitter.com/search?q=%23BuyoutMarket) , especially for players I think would help the roster -- Is the team not interested in the player or is the player not interested in the team?

Jeremy Lin to Toronto after buyout.

Doubt he moves the needle very much in the playoffs due to his shit defense, but it's a genius business move from the Raptors. Richmond Hill and Markham must be going crazy right now.

[ZeusWillJudge]

Toronto had to fill a couple of roster spots just to get to 12 players, before they could sign Ben McLemore to a 10-day. (You can't give out 10-day contracts without at least 12 on the permanent roster.) I think they jumped the gun signing Chris Boucher and Malcolm Miller, and they lost McLemore anyway.

VanVleet has a thumb injury, which is tough on a PG. Lin was the only one of the three signings likely to get any minutes. Doesn't move them forward, but might keep them from losing ground.

I don't actually want him, but they need another able bodied perimeter player who can sop up minutes when injuries strike.

I said earlier in this thread that despite Walker being in over his head, I'd be fine with him getting those minutes when perimeter injuries arise, but the problem is he can't stay healthy himself.

McLemore sucks, but he's capable of hitting 3 or 4 threes in short order, swinging a quarter and possibly a game . . . and one game might be the different between 7th or 8th or missing the playoffs entirely.

I don't get why a Spurs fan would want McLemore. He's terrible. Forbes is way, way better. Hell, I'd rather Pop just play Mills at shooting guard than to sign McLemore.



I can't imagine why. I was responding to the comment that Toronto was going all in for a ring. Boucher, Miller, and an attempt to give McLemore a 10-day. Those are duds. That leaves Lin, which isn't exactly an all in move.

Toronto rolled their dice before the deadline. They haven't found anything in the buyout market that Spurs fans should be kicking themselves over.

Spurs have tried to get him in the past. They probably see potential they could develop. Sacramento is not known for player development and I've heard several commentators say if he'd gone to SA instead of Sacramento, he'd have all-star potential. But who knows? This year it doesn't hurt to experiment because we may not make the playoffs or we are just first round fodder. It seems a shame to waste what few good years LMA has left, but that's where we are.

Apparently the Lakers and the Rockets are two teams interested in Morris.

Yeah, they almost traded for JR Smith once. The ATL GM refused to answer the phone to take on a small contract, and the deadline passed. I believe they actually pulled Brent Barry off of the team flight, as he was the salary ballast. The point is, there comes a point where you cannot develop someone's game further. McLemore is literally worse than a random player you could grab off of waivers. His VORP is negative. It's been negative every year of his career except one, his second season.

Didn’t Houston draft one of the Morris Brothers?

[DPG21920]

With as injury prone as Gay is, Morris would be a good addition.

He is repped by Klutch. Zero chance he comes here or NO :lol

Dejounte Murray is represented by Klutch. I don’t think they hate the Spurs yet.

[BatManu20]

Spurs looking for another PG.

Well considering our pg's are derozan and Forbes go for it

Sure, but Murray was drafted by SA. Different game with free agents IMO.

[ace3g]

I swear if the Spurs add another PG or PF/C...

[Degoat]

Are there even any serviceable PGs out there in the buyout market?

[MaNu4Tres]

Who cares?

Whoever comes in won't make a difference anyway.

It will be a tight 9 man rotation if SA gets lucky to make the playoffs. Anyone brought in will be a supervisor most of the time.

[San Antonio Slayer]

Jeremi Lin is available, but surprisingly wants to join Toronto with Lowry and Van Vleet (injuried though). And I would definitely try to add Beasley, if Gasol rumours are true.
