Donatas Motiejunas signed with San Antonio Spurs

[ZeusWillJudge]

Lmao. "he's my favorite player of all time". Nice touch


Yeah, I liked that too. "You can trust me, because he's my favorite player ever. In fact, I like him BECAUSE he sucks. That's how I roll." :lol

[ZeusWillJudge]

Jesus you're a really shit poster. I thought your Poeltl> Adams and Walker> Brogdon takes were embarrassing. ..

Before this stint in New Orleans, he was only getting garbage time minutes (314 minutes in 3 years). Good job leaving that out though, dumbass. I'm sure no one fell for it.

LMAO. Yes, there's a guy who was capable of putting up 18 and 8 consistently in the NBA, but his team would only give him garbage minutes because... well, because NBA teams don't like guys who put up 18 and 8 consistently. They would rather play Brooke Lopez who puts up 13 and 5 because... well, because he has a Hispanic last name. Yeah, that's it. That's why they signed Gasol - because he really IS Spanish. Because they want a token Hispanic, but not one that looks TOO good.

Wood put up some pretty gaudy numbers in the G-League, but there's usually a reason why a G-League guy can only get garbage time on an NBA squad. He's had three good games in the NBA. Three. And no amount of temper tantrum by you is going to change that. If he can keep it up for a season, come back and say you liked him first. Maybe he'll give you that reach-around you've been dreaming about.

DMo can play in the NBA, he was the best post defender the Rockets had his last year in Houston.

He moves well without the ball, passes it well, is the prototypical new big man in the NBA - a skilled post and 3pt shooter.

He is a rotation level NBA player, and possibly a starter for the right team.

I have a suspicion that the poster named Donatas Monte.... is actually BBallaholic a noted DMo hater.....and blow hard.

This guy will play in three regular season games. Probably like 5 minutes in each game. And he won't get in a playoff game unless the Spurs are up 20 or down 20 in the 4th quarter. He is playing in China next season. So why so much contention over a guy that will be here for an eye blink?

TGY can't be taken seriously given his vitriolic hatred against Manu - in the context of his overall contributions to the Spurs' organization.

I could concede that maybe the last few years Manu wasn't as great as 2005-2011, and that some criticism was warranted... But again, in the overall context of his contributions to the franchise TGY cannot even get himself to give credit where credit is due.

[monty4329]

You mean Timmy's final postseason series? I think it was the game Timmy realized his wheels fell off. OKC is always THE or one of THE most athletic teams every year. Jakob is showing a lot of potential though. When he plays for small minutes he is a havoc because he can defend and offensive rebound really well as well as diving to the rim with more finesse than most. He is our modern day center. Adams is still a hybrid old school tough center vs today's Capela type ballerinas that can still defend the rim well.

Are you really saying Poeltl is better/more fitting today's NBA than Adams? Like, for real?

I like Jakob, his offensive rebounding is really very good. But he is nowhere near Adam's quality. Upside: can Poeltl reach Adams level in two years? No.

Look at Adams' first three years in the league, and get back to us about Poeltl's development curve.

Hint: He's never had the DReb% that Poeltl had this year (20.0) or the TotReb% that Poeltl had this year (17.1). He's never broken 16%. You people act like he's Shaq, or David Robinson. He's a lunch pail guy, a banger. There's nothing about his game that Poeltl can't match, given the minutes.

Per36, career:

Adams: 13p/9.9r
Jakob: 12.2p/10.2r

[TheGreatYacht]

Has the audacity to shit on Wood for not putting up numbers in garbage time too

Per36, career:

Adams: 13p/9.9r
Jakob: 12.2p/10.2r

In the first three years in the NBA:
Starts: Poeltl 24 , Adams 167
Minutes per game: Poeltl 16 , Adams 22

So, in his first three years Adams played 22 minutes per game, starting 73% of the games. Basically, he played almost all his minutes again starting centers. Scoring 6 pts/game
Jakob played 16 minutes (27% less than Adams), starting 11% of the games. In other words, his stats are produced agains bench centers, if not in garbage time. Scoring 5.4 pts/game.

Team records in the same period:
Poeltl 154 wins, 4-6 playoffs
Adams 160 wins, 21-15 playoffs record (west...)

Enjoy the comparing development curves. I take Adams any day. As any GM in the league (and again, I like Jakob).

Don't be fooled by Adams' paltry dreb%. He's no Bargnani. He's more like Aldridge, elite at boxing out and complicit with TMNT chasing triple doubles.

I agree with the larger point though . . . I said the same not long after the trade. I won't go so far as to say Poeltl will be better, but he'll at least be close, if not comparable. He's already closer to those thresholds than the perception is.

[GusT15]

Actually,it's more about Westbrick's stat padding than just being elite at boxing out and not getting the rebound.

Adams in 2018: 5,1 ORPG 4.0 DRPG
Adams in 2019: 4.9 ORPG 4.7 DRPG

Westbrook is steadily a moron since 2009.No further stats are needed to prove that he is a moron.

[Donatas Motiejunas]

In his latest interview Motiejunas said he has not spoken with Pop. So yeah, 0mpg is a realistic possibility. He also said that he noticed when national team's head coach (who DMo has a public feud with) stopped following his social media and just recently started following him again. Remember when I said DMo is very emotional player? He is very sensitive, tracking people who are following him on social media and who aren't, even internet trolls don't do that....
DMo had 1 good season with Rockets and 4000 pages long thread on Rockets forum. That should translate in 0-5 minutes with Spurs and about 40 pages in this thread. DMo touches our lives more than he touches the basketball. He's awesome, but not at basketball, at least not any more.

Has it already been decided that he is playing in China next season?

If so, I totally don't understand this signing. We only have a few games left, and Pop isn't going to throw a guy who hasn't spent a single minute in uniform yet into the fray in the playoffs.

Even as insurance for Aldridge or Poeltl....I'd still probably rather just use Eubanks. At least he knows some of the Spurs' sets.

[Duncan87]

On China playing, no decision yet, however he is young and in need of a employee, so, all options on atable. The articles on his feature, are plain and simple speculation of a trolls. In interview, he stated, that will play in NBA for lesser amount of money.Motiejunas gave only one interview after the end of China season, and no one saw it till he knew, he is going, and has visa on hands.But China pays only 3 mill, in NBA money it is around 6 mill, not so expensive in my minde.So if POP have some interest,Motiejunas will be at his service for less amount than Asians paying.

He was getting paid 3mill/per in China?
And i was actually wondering why he wasn't playing in Europe.He would probably make half of that in Euroleague.Makes sense.

[Pavlov]

It's either $3 million in a punch-line league or ~$1.8 million in the NBA unless he sets the world on fire for ten games or whatever. If he still wants a payday in the states he's gotta prove himself, and he's young enough that he theoretically can do it.

[ZeusWillJudge]

Just read he has a standing offer to go back but Spurs work out it would be a dream for to play for Spurs


I don't know if that's true or not, but it wouldn't surprise me. Maybe they asked for a little help delaying his visa? They aren't going to have much of a chance to get a look at him, and he's not going to play cheap-ass summer ball, I don't think.

Maybe Pop plans to throw him into the fire in their four postseason games, to see what he's made of.

3 mill after taxes, in China team is in charge of your taxes, so in NBA it equals to 6.5 mil

Picture


So Mikalauskas came over with him? Is he keeping an eye out on behalf of their NT? I said earlier that I thought that's why he went to China, but I read an interview where he said that he planned to stay in China for another 3 years or something. I guess that all changed when D-Mo decided to come over.

If that's right about the money and the taxes, it's a pretty damn big commitment for him to come here.

Yes, there are those that criticize Parker unfairly - but I haven't read or heard anyone here suggest that Tony's number should not be hanging from the rafters in the immediate future. TGY's hatred towards Manu can be summarized within the microcosmic bias of his suggestion that No. 20 is somehow undeserving for hanging next to Duncan's jersey.

I used to think Tiago was an urban legend and didn't really exist as much as he was mentioned in ST and yet I had never seen him. I was proven wrong, though he was never as good as ST made him seem before he got here. I am starting to believe the same thing about DoMo, I am highly dubious I will ever see him in a Spurs jersey this season in a game and if I do I am not sure if he will contribute anything more to the Spurs than say QPon does, which is what exactly?

Well it's not exactly the same situation.

Splitter was the best (or top3) Center in Europe and people were trying to project how his value would translate in the NBA.
He was a great role player but of course he couldn't live up to the expectations him dominating in Euroleague had created.

D-mo,we have seen in the NBA,he was good,the doubts are coming from what he looks like physically right now and how he will perform,not if he could make it in the league in general.
(Also that fact as well will make the fanbase judge Motiejunas with a more strict attitude cause we know already what he could do 4 years ago)

I also get mischievous when people want to play like experts without knowing much of anything about the organization and its history. Pop has always been very stingy about giving minutes to rookies. Guys who miss training camp have always had trouble working into his rotations. Rookies who miss training camp? Pretty damned unlikely.

Splitter was a damn good C. He just couldn't stay healthy enough to stay on the floor. When he was right, he was more than a role player. I would kill to have a young, fully healthy Tiago Splitter on this roster.

I guess that's kind of ridiculous, since we never really had a young, fully healthy Tiago Splitter on the roster even back then, except for short stretches.

If he plays you guys will love him, he is fundamentally sound, has a great post game, with both hands, and plays very smart defense - will take a charge and is a legit 7 footer in the lane, he is not a shot blocker, but more of a shot botherer.....causes a lot of missed shots.

Average rebounder, very fast in a dead sprint, sees the floor and passes well, and can hit the three ball at a good percentage. I would not be surprised if Pop keeps him for a few years.....he can play, just needs someone to believe in him.

I think the system the Spurs play is suited perfectly for him.

Sounds wonderful!

Trade for Capela in the summer if we sign him?

We will throw in Forbes and Mills to make the salaries work! Great 3 point shooters!

Deal?

[R. DeMurre]

According to basketball reference, he's getting paid $59,000. He's insurance, and is the NBA equivalent of tapping the $5 button on a cellphone investment app.

[Play Boban]

DMo's number in the NBA used to be 20, but for some reason Spurs didn't let him wear it. If you ask me, DMo could be the best left handed international number 20 player in Spurs history, if given the chance to wear it

This is ban worthy tbh.

[Indazone]

You guys got a good player. He was a decent player for us and was developing nicely. Too bad his agent screwed him over. Bad situation he ended up in.

[in2deep]

Is this for real?? It would be funny if I see him on spurs bench tonight. Will be attending d game...

On paper Donatas is better than Poeltle. Do you guys think DMo will take over the C spot?

Water is wet.

[DMOFOR3MORE]

I guess I need to type a little bit.

First, I'm surprised about the level of certain posters writing. I mean, language. Myself, sometimes my words would make the devil himself to cover his ears. But, thanks to ever-present current political correctiveness I am just a humble grammar school boy posting here a bit.

About DMo and China. For the next year he has a guaranteed agreement with his club for about 3,5 mils, that could go up to about 3,7 - 3,8 mils. That's in Dmo's pocket. Teams usually provide with living accommodations and cars and etc... Chinese league has strict restrictions how many foreign players they can have, otherwise more fringe NBA or Euroleague players would play in China. So, DMo has agreement and if nothing bad happens to him - next year he will play for the same club. Maybe it is already a signed contract with an NBA clause, could be. I was surprised that DMo didn't sign with any European club last year, but his season was over later and best Euro teams didn't have injured players problem. Plus, DMo is not cheap. For Europe. To play for the Spurs I bet DMo would pay the club himself substantial money. Because he wants to see, if he can get a crack at the NBA again. Of course, DMo's Chinese contract translates into something around 8 mils in NBA, but I'm sure that DMo would sign for the less money. If a guy plays bball and likes it, to play in the NBA - a dream come true.

What happened between DMo and Rockets GM Morey - to me it's a mystery, but things were unnatural. That rescinded trade to the Detroit - ??????

OK. I don't know, how DMo is physically right now. Have now clue. But if he could play full two full seasons in China, being a workhorse for his club - I think that he still can play.

After Howard went down and DMo finally got his chance, he started to shine. Dude can ball, for sure. But a disk slipped in his back and the rest is history.
As a poster before, I watched too plenty of DMo in NBA. If nothing is bothering him health wise right now - yes, he is NBA player. 10+ minutes of quality ball.

And all that talk about his bad defense- it is what it is. He is a "tweener". In the NBA not good enough to be a starting C. His natural position is a PF, but in modern street-ball NBA, he needs to be in the right system, otherwise he is a dead fish.

We'll see. Personally, I hope that he still can play in the NBA. Clyde Drexler, who was an announcer during Motiejūnas' time in Houston, enjoyed "Captain's Hook" game. DMo was a tricky tricksy. Can't wait to see him on the floor.

[BillMc]

All these new posters are teenage boys from Lithuania who don't have access to NBA games in their country and all their knowledge comes from box scores.

I really like your support of the Spur's new player,:toast Hope he works out for us. I do have to say, as someone who has lived in the Baltics, people in Lithuania stream NBA games just like everyone else interested in the NBA worldwide. So, I think it isn't just box score info.

[phxspurfan]

he is not a shot blocker, but more of a shot botherer.....

DMo already cured "road Spurs" just with his presence on the bench. And you were saying it's a meaningless signing! HA!

[GusT15]

I wish those morons over at Clutchfans didn't offer the link to this thread in their forum.

We have to deal with enough trolls of our own here,Rockettes fans can troll their own fanbase.

[Donatas Motiejunas]

Just watched a full shootaround during halftime, DMo went ~75% on 6 foot and closer shots on ~35 attempts, 2/4 from the line and 0/3 from 3. Pretty much what you can expect from him in a real game :)

[RC_Drunkford]

He looked alright out there, could even play the 4. Like I said he could be a nice reclamation project. Spurs should look into signing him up for next season if that's possible, cause if he can play close to like he played in Houston he'd be a steal

[TheGreatYacht]

His agent said we stand little to no chance against GSW.

Deport this scrub back to vaChina

[BackHome]

Doesn’t KY need you? You leaving Daboom all alone to do the work?

[playbonner15]

Looks like DMo and Poetl are about to throw down :lol

[ZeusWillJudge]

It's kind of iffy falling in love with the guy after three minutes of garbage time. But assuming they want to keep him, what do you think it would cost to keep him here next year?

People bitched about Dedmon, but I damn sure would have preferred to have him here over Pau - especially for $10M less. If he's inexpensive, it seems pretty safe. I just have no idea what it's going to take. Would he sign one year at a reasonable rate, trying to work his way back? Would they have to take a flyer on him for multiple years, based on just a few games?

Also wondering if they're seriously looking at Milutinov. Doesn't seem like they would sign both. If they're serious about Milutinov, would they use D-Mo to light a fire under him to make the move? I just don't see the angle on bringing D-Mo over this late.

[BackHome]

Unless they have already decided to release Metu, Cunningham, Poindexter, and maybe trading Bertans, Forbes, to move up higher in the draft. Don’t know anything just speculating as it is very out of character to bring a new guy at end of season.

[in2deep]

Hahaha can't believe I saw this guy live on court last nite. Thought he was an urban legend

[in2deep]

BTW he looked OK. Fast big and probably better than gasol :lol

[CGD]

Feels like LMA insurance. I suspect we’ll move on fro LMA after next summer given his contract structure/comments about going back to Portland. Obviously a drop in talent, but if DeMo can regain that postgame and 3 ball he can help fill the gaps for a while.

:lol Not sure if serious....

[GAustex]

My first impression is if DeMo gets prime time minutes it will end badly
I hope I am wrong
I remember he did good things with Rockets

[slick'81]

Hes insurance nothing more

[Donatas Motiejunas]

Only things DMo is going to be fast at is collecting fouls and inbounding the ball after he gets scored on.

EDIT: if he gets to play at all

I said this 4 days ago, people think I'm a joke and I am just trolling, but I'm not

[RC_Drunkford]

should/will we keep him? Hasn't looked too bad in limited minutes. I'd like to use the whole 9.1 million on a quality 3-and-D SF, so maybe he would be willing to play here for vet minimum? Heard he'll earn 3.2 million or something like that in China, not too big of a difference if he hopes to get back into the NBA and sign a bigger deal next year.

His next year China contract equals to 6.5 mill in NBA money. Chinese teams pay taxes, on top of a salary for player. 3.2 mill, is what he brings home ,after tax.

[JeffDuncan]

Sure, why not. Why should we have any pride at this point.

His free throw shooting is so bad that we might only be able to improve it by amputating some of his fingers, tho.
