Where is Demarre Carroll

[BlackAndWhite]

He can't be worse than Forbes or Pasta. Why isn't he playing?

[ginobilized]

I wish a reporter had the guts to ask Pop that question......
After every game

[sasaint]

[Dverde]

He has so many clothes. I can’t wait for the garage sale in 3...2...1

[Fusternino]

Forbes and Marco playing over LWIV and Carroll explains our record entirely. And that is even with Carroll himself looking done.

[BlackAndWhite]

I don't think carroll is done. He just haven't played meaningful minutes

[Texas_Ranger]

spending money on those faggot ass clothes.

[jeebus]

SA media is the true Gutless Worms.

Jeff McDonald is the biggest pile of shit out there. His interaction with the twittertards is mindblowingly stupid and any conversation they have make youtube video comments look like Shakespeare.

[cd021]

Forbes and Marco playing over LWIV and Carroll explains our record entirely. And that is even with Carroll himself looking done.

How does he look done exactly? When he played he was fine, if unfamiliar with the system but that's because he was new to it.

I feel like people are trying to rationalize something that just doesn't make any sense.

[RC_Drunkford]

why are people asking this every 2 days? Behind the bench in street clothes

[RC_Drunkford]

He has obviously done or said something that Pop didn't like otherwise he would've played by now. Last year Pop played Dante Cunningham and Quincy Pondexter. And Pop would never play Keldon Johnson over a veteran unless he really doesn't like that veteran

[sananspursfan21]

This again?

[Genovaswitness]

Jeff McCuckold is a hack

[GAustex]

Poop screwed the pooch and signed a broke down tin man Carrol who can barely run and can’t even jump to a three year contract.
Hilarious

[UZER]

If Carroll was not Pops signing, and this is his protest, then he’s a bigger douche and than everyone already thinks his is, and is acting like a big baby.

[sasaint]

Pop embraced being a douche a long time ago. Being a senile, ignorant fuck that was responsible for signing a completely washed player would be worse.

[GAustex]

Is anything done without poops blessing?

[slick'81]

Bet he wish he had went to utah

[slick'81]

:lolRushing to sign this washed up sf and losing bertans for nothing

[RC_Drunkford]

If Carroll was not Pops signing, and this is his protest, then he’s a bigger douche and than everyone already thinks his is, and is acting like a big baby.

Pop always has the final say so. There's no way the GM signs players without speaking to Pop about it before.

[BackHome]

Yeah looking like a terrible signing paying him all that money just to sit on the bench.

[cjw]

Jeff McDonald is the biggest pile of shit out there. His interaction with the twittertards is mindblowingly stupid and any conversation they have make youtube video comments look like Shakespeare.

He’s so high on himself, and this year his crap with the “shut-ins” while he defends Forbes and Beli is insane. Nobody asks Pop tough basketball questions.

[ZeusWillJudge]

Carroll has been spending time with Michael Jackson's skin doctor. He should get some court time after the ASB, when he's lightened a couple more shades.

[phxspurfan]

He’s training to stop LeBron












...at Delonte West’s house

[Fusternino]

How does he look done exactly? When he played he was fine, if unfamiliar with the system but that's because he was new to it.

I feel like people are trying to rationalize something that just doesn't make any sense.

I'm not rationalizing it just saying that he's still better than those cones on defense.

Every time I see Carroll he makes an ill-advised drive to the basket in garbage time.

[tb5]

Pop was probably trying to improve the defense with that trade when you think about it, but it's just one of those moves where Carroll probably wasn't fitting into the Spurs system right away. A vast majority of Pop's risky moves don't work these days and the big three likely masked that for years. Unfortunate that he gambled with Bertans thinking give 1 area to get another. That just never materialized, partially to Pop's own stubbornness.

[emanueldavidginobili]

He went from playing 25 MPG on a playoff team last year to riding the bench on currently a non playoff team :lol

[BlackAndWhite]

I feel so bad for him. He could have contributed a lot to the team but is now just wasting time not even dressed

[Slippy]

I feel so bad for him. He could have contributed a lot to the team but is now just wasting time not even dressed

Feel bad for his wife. She chose this path for him. Hopefully they will try to keep positive about it all and focus on the dollars he will be counting for few years for sitting down.

[Spursfanfromafar]

The Spurs have always had among the best front offices in the League.. but I guess the Demarre Carroll signing and situation is the icing on the raspberry cake of a season so far that has brought down the Spurs front office more than a few notches down. The 18-23 record is not just a case of a team being in transition, but of a completely messed up roster construction full of one-dimensional players, the lack of a 3 and D wing - the player type which has defined the modern NBA and was a core component of the winning and pioneering Spurs teams in the last decade or so.

Carroll, I guess, was supposed to be that missing 3 and D piece, but in recent years, he had shown less of an ability to really be that kind of player for teams such as the Raptors and the Nets and yet the Spurs signed him for multiple years. Granted, much of the failure is due to the domino effect of the Morris welching situation, but the dependence upon flawed, short and low wingspan players and their abundance in the team is not just a coaching issue but a front office issue too. There is no way a team can contend with Belinelli, Forbes and Mills all in the same squad and who are forced/ made to play too much minutes.

GM Brian Wright, RC and Brent Barry have a major decision to make as the trade deadline nears. They have to find ways to replace this cohort - atleast one of Forbes and Belinelli have to go while it would be a bonanza if Carroll is replaced with another wing by some means (by trading him in conjunction with others?).

This team can still grow even with its inconsistent younger lot - White, Murray, Walker and Poeltl as the core if they are given the right ingredients in other useful role players (hopefully good wings) to support them. Maybe a Robert Covington can be had in this market.

[cd021]

That's how vets play in garbage time, when they don't often see the floor. Last season Cunningham shot 3s aggressively in garbage time but hesitated to take them when he was in the rotation.

Good post. The signing is an indication of a dysfunctional organization that can't make up its mind as to what the future of basketball looks like. The Spurs invented the future in 2014 and then completely forgot about it in the last 6 years.

A big part of the confusion is Pops refusing to retire. The team just cannot move forward with a plan. They are stuck on a half now half future treadmill.

[tbdog]

Not really. They have a youth movement going. There best players are their vets. It's not a bad plan tbh. They also are bring in the youth slowly and have cap space after next season.

The NBA has moved on from Pop. His style is just confusing at this point (see Bryn Forbes / Mills / Belli lineups, Bertans wasting way on the bench, etc.).

The team cannot move forward in a clear direction until he leaves.

Looking at Becky Hammon having to tell him to challenge an obvious bad call in the Heat game just made me look at him sadly. I'm sure he was just gonna let the play happen and let it be a teaching lesson. I've loved Pop, but time passes us all by. When he realize Lonnie an Murray ain't gonna be is Big 3 "Yes Men", he'll walk away.

[GAustex]

poop is done. He screwed up nephew, signed Gasol & patty to bad contracts, made a dubious trade for ddr, plays forbes and beli, siged carroll and stiffs lonnie who should be playing the 3rd or 4th most minutes on the team.
poop's time is over. he needs to quit and go off and yell at the clouds

Don't forget trading Danny Green so Bryn Forbes can start at his position

[John B]

Carroll doesn’t get it and I don’t think he cares that’s why he’s not playing I guess. That’s the only thing I can see on this.

[GAustex]

So poop signed a guy who doesn’t get it and does not care if he’s playing.
Brilliant move by drunk ass poop.
Dude just sits there collecting checks.
When the Spurs desperately need a 6’8” dude who can shoot and play some D.
Way to go poop. You are the best.

Carroll is not the only one who does not get Pop these days.

[SpurSpike]

Its almost like he dont give a fuck. Seriously

I remember when the season started it took what seemed like forever for Pop to finally use one. I think we went the 1st 10 or so games without using a challenge even though opposing teams were using theirs quite effectively against us on a nightly basis.

[BlackAndWhite]

Now Rudy gay has been missing for a couple of games. Pop has really became a tyrant this season

[BlackAndWhite]

https://news4sanantonio.com/sports/spurs-zone/demarre-carroll-wants-to-be-the-best-role-player-for-the-spurs

old news news but relevant

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

He has obviously done or said something that Pop didn't like otherwise he would've played by now. Last year Pop played Dante Cunningham and Quincy Pondexter. And Pop would never play Keldon Johnson over a veteran unless he really doesn't like that veteran

Great points, and spot on with Dante and Pond. Those guys sucked. There's no way Carroll's game has regressed beyond what those two yokels brought to the team last year. I watched a fair amount of Nets games last year and Demarre wasn't spectacular, certainly not an elite athlete, but he was solid most nights. I can't believe we give big minutes to Marco, start Forbes, yet Carroll can't see the floor?

Makes zero sense.

[JuneJive]

One of this seasons mysteries.

[wildbill2u]

Is this a trick question?

[BlackAndWhite]

Another game passed by and Demarre still hasn't seen a minute. I hope we can get a answer on what's going on

[John B]

The only thing I can think is he doesn't fit the offensive flow. Spurs are playing better tbh and hopefully they play consistent. Inserting Carroll might do more harm than good tbh

[sasaint]

Seldom-used? Yeah, that's an understatement. Has it really only been two games? The guy has been so invisible, it's hard to notice when he's not there.

[dbestpro]

Pop is always critical when a person is treated badly unless he is the person treating people badly.

More to the point where is the national media to pose that question. It's a really intriguing storyline of a team signing a FA to a solid three year deal, who then is immediately banished to the 13th man (and now inactive).

Though it's all rhetorical now. Popvich has inculcated nationwide reverence towards him. How dishonorable it would be for the press to call him out on such a huge gaffe.

I wonder why Pop signed this guy if he is just gonna pay him and not play him.
Seems odd. Such a waste of the owners money and a roster spot.

[John B]

I’d rather see Metu or Keldon than Carroll tbh. I’m just curious why Spurs haven’t moved him if they don’t have intentions of playing him

I wonder what his wage is per minutes played. He might be the highest paid player in the NBA based off this stat.

if he is in fact referring to himself then he's a huge faggot. yeah i got pop is a retard and he should be playing but seems pretty tone deaf to be referring to your own "suffering" as not getting on the court when one the NBAs biggest stars just died in a horrific accident. not to mention plenty of guys in the league experience the same as him. if he's really "suffering" then he's just a giant pussy imho

Not to mention he hasnt played all season:lol talk about tanking his value. Yea we suck but are actively looking to deal belli and demmarree:wow

[gospursgojas]

First of all, all it took was 3-4 mins to notice Carroll isn’t an NBA player. I mean who still does that weird ‘Nique Wilkins double leg pump when they shoot? He also couldn’t dribble for shit. Why is anyone mad he’s not playing? Yeah waste of money but that’s why Spurs trying to trade him for something of value. Any value.

As for the social media stuff. Pops prob finally giving up on trying to control it. It’s all too much nowadays. Social media is just part of the player you receive now. The days of him having the power to shut G Hill’s Twitter or whatever it was down for dick pics are over.

[gambit1990]

this is still really puzzling.

has a reporter not asked pop about this?

[gambit1990]

demarre, during a team meeting: i got mad swag
pop: no one on this team has "mad swag", we work hard and do our jobs
demarre: i can do that and still have mad swag

i wouldn't be surprised if it was something as little as that :lol

on top of this... if you're looking to move someone... you would give them playing time... especially in this sort of situation where he hasn't been playing... this is just so weird.

not an NBA PLAYER

:lol but I doubt it. Unlike all of us on ST, they know first-hand how Pop operates.

demarre, during a team meeting: i got mad swag
pop: no one on this team has "mad swag", we work hard and do our jobs
demarre: i can do that and still have mad swag

i wouldn't be surprised if it was something as little as that :lol

this is the closest scenario to the truth. I been saying he said something to Pop that Pop didn't like, so Pop had to show him who the dictator is and what happens if you don't follow him. You know military approach. I hope Carroll ends up on the Bucks and wins a title or goes to Utah and starts from jump. That would make Pop look even dumber

Dude is stuck thanks to that 2 year deal. I guess the Spurs could buy him out, but given he could've been out of the league if the Spurs didn't sign him, he's going to keep all that money. But no sign that a team wants a player that a struggling 9th/10th place team can't find 5 minutes a game to play.

Thats the point spurs are moving trash for trash and we all know they arent "going to blow it up" being only 3 games outta a playoff spot

He just tweeted, "woke up feeling BLESSED" with the 100 emojis

Definitely feels different with players feeling blessed to be outta here. Remember when players took less to stay.

Real nigga Dewayne Dedmon was rumored to the Clips. That would have been cool.
But latest is he is going to be a Hawk.

Spurs have to of agreed to move on from deemmaarree

I've never seen an more positive player. I really want answers

This was him a year ago. It's hard to believe he has become so bad that he can't even get the same amount of minutes as Marco Belinelli or even Rudy Gay who has been completely trash this season

[DPG21920]

Spurs not only destroyed Carrolls value after signing him but appear to have done him pretty wrong by not finding a trade partner. They should have even been willing to give up a 2nd round pick to do that.

What they have done to themselves (signed someone who can’t play for them despite needing upgrades) and to him is just bafflingly bad.

[monty4329]

When he played he was moving like an injured player, one could easily see there was something wrong with his leg(s), absolutely zero spring. I guess after seeing the medical records no team wanted his contract. A buyout is coming, most probably.

Honestly who cares as long as he plays next year?

PATFO didn't look at the medical records before signing him to a $20m deal. Sounds like gross incompetence.

This Carroll situation is a black eye for the Spurs. Why would a free agent sign with the Spurs only to have their career destroyed? Carroll averaged 11pts/game last season on a playoff team (i.e. Nets)

So did Bryn Forbes. Not really saying much tbh

[tim_duncan_fan]

Thefew times he has been out there he has looked very awkward with the basketball in his possession.

I actually was quite happy about his signing, I always liked him. He was a completely different player here. I hope he got injured in training camp otherwise it is really negligent on PATFO's side. Add the Morris fiasco to it...

[pad300]

Can't see the training camp injury hypothesis - presumably they would have had to issued a injury report; he's just been getting DNP-CD. Someday we are going to hear the whole story. Currently I suspect that he PO'ed Pop somehow... And if that's the case, Pop needs to take his own advice and "Get over himself".

[Truth4sale$]

Demarre Caroll can be pissed but he got 7 million from a organization and the organization loss credibility with free agents for the foreseeable future. Might not even be able to sign undrafted free agents

$15 million guaranteed.

[tbdog]

No one was giving a pick for that contract.

[ace3g]

Someone mentioned they listened to a Podcast that Woj mentioned "100%" Carroll gets a buyout. Anyone have a link to that podcast?

So, maybe PATFO got wind of DeMarre's plan, and that's what made them decide not to buy him out.

[Ice009]

Wow, Nice guy on the surface. He probably doesn't want to badmouth anyone as he's probably not wanting to burn any bridges to maybe have another shot in the NBA, but he still could have said something negative if he wanted to.

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

It’s no coincidence he isn’t in the league anymore. He got bought out by our SPURS and went to the ROCKETS, barely played there and now is relaxing at home.

Looks like Pop was right not to give the gentleman minutes because it is obvious he was done as a decent contributor on an NBA roster.

the game eventually passes everyone by. It’s the nature of the beast.
