Here comes the white jokes

[Eaglenole2002]

Hollinger…
The Saint Mary’s product has reportedly turned down multiple big-money offers in Europe because he’s awaiting his shot at the NBA after shooting 38.9 percent from 3 and being one of the best interior players in Australia’s NBL last season. Jock Landale will get a further opportunity to audition when he suits up for the Australian team at the Olympics. While questions persist about his ability to defend in space, Landale’s size and touch around the basket at 6-11, 255 have obvious appeal for teams looking for another big body.

[99 Problems]

Goes ok when he plays with intensity. Thought he was good yesterday against Argentina. Obviously Pop had the chance to watch him close up recently and give his blessing.

[Biggems]

He is a black hole on offense....

[dbestpro]

He is a black hole on offense....

You mean he's Rudy Gay's long lost brother from another mother?

[DeRozan m8]

He is a black hole on offense....

No, he isn't.

You don't know shit

[Allan Rowe vs Wade]

yep i'm thinking this may be a bit of a Pop scouting project

[Slippy]

Since Baynes went down this guy has stepped at centre. Was huge last night against Argentina. Lead the Boomers team defense and helped spread the floor shooting threes at high percentage.. along with Mathyse Thyabull was the main difference on defense tbh.

Dominated the nbl on both ends. United mainly used him off the post but has ability to shoot the three as well.

Different option to Jacob.

[Biggems]

No, he isn't.

You don't know shit

Butthurt much?

If you think that's butthurt, you must be a very sensitive person lmao

[Biggems]

actually i am not sensitive at all. in the highlight reel, he only passed once, only to receive a return pass and shoot, hence black hole.

Same starters for the Australian Boomers, going into their semifinal vs Team USA: Matthew Dellavedova, Patty Mills, Joe Ingles, Jock Landale, and Nick Kay. There was a chance Goorj would go small for matchup purposes, but he's stayed true.

[8FOR!3]

Dude's built different. Idk what's in their water but the Australian centers look like absolute units (Baynes/Bogut/this guy.)

[spurraider21]

quiet game from him so far

[spurraider21]

landale with the airball hook, shades of tiago "cant post up derek fisher" splitter

[spurraider21]

can finish an alley-oop off the pick and roll tho, thats nice

[DeRozan m8]

Yes...go by one highlight video hahaahhahaj

Okay

[ace3g]

Jock missed the lob, nice contest from Durant.

[J_Paco]

He's got a solid inside - out offensive game. And can punish mismatches inside (minus that bad hooking foul).

[SAGirl]

Like him. Maybe the best FA they signed.

[spurraider21]

reminds me of splitter in that you literally never want to see him take a hook shot :lol

[DPG21920]

reminds me of splitter in that you literally never want to see him take a hook shot :lol

[slick'81]

Ill say it. Easily spurs best fa signing

[Allan Rowe vs Wade]

he looked pretty big and pretty spry

[Robz4000]

Gonna be fun to see him play (after he sits out his first season to get over himself).

[mookie2001]

I don't have a good nickname for him. jack handale I just don't know.

Not a great game tonight, but you get that.

Lots of potential

Can finally get a fiesta jersey

[JeffDuncan]

Need a nickname for him? Itchy.

[John B]

I can't imagine Pop will not play him with his motor. He got the post moves, can pass from the post, 100% motor like Keldon, can hit the 3's.

Move over Poeltl, Landale is going to light up his behind if he comes back out of shape. This guy will be ready to play from day 1.

He's been saying he belongs in the NBA and I think will prove himself.

I'm really hoping Simmons come and get them Aussie brothers tandem going. Boy I hoped Patty did not have to go (of course that means not signing Forbes)

[tim_duncan_fan]

Simmons doesn’t really care about Aussies

[lefty20]

Is this kid gonna get a legit shot at the rotation or just get Splittered for a couple years?

[benfti]

Pop generally rates international play as good experience, so maybe

[RC_Drunkford]

this guy has potential to be a starter. Or a 6th man type back up. Could also play the 4. And I agree, he’s by far the Spurs best FA signing


https://youtu.be/G_KYG9JIU7k

[buttsR4rebounding]

Highlight reels are a terrible place to determine if a player is a “black hole”. When have you seen a highlight montage that shows the subject “moving the ball?” That’s like counting the green jelly beans to determine how many black ones there are.

IMO if they signed Papapetrou too this would have been a really satisfying offseason, better than just signing J. Collins. Something about signing no names who look good tape for very little and have the potential to be really good.

[The Truth #6]

Yeah, I agree with that. Our international out of nowhere free agent signings are usually a welcome surprise.

[offset formation]

Except he tries to dunk everything lol

so you're saying he does NOT remind you of Poeltl?

[objective]

If he hits, that's a good score for Wright

[tmtcsc]

Not sure what everyone else was watching but this was not a good game for Landale. He should be fine for the Spurs but last night he was getting his shot blocked, throwing up weak shot attempts (except for the dunks) and turning the ball over. My first thought was that he was all talk and no walk.

He may have been nervous playing in front of Pop. Assuming Pop realized Jock was on his team now instead of Patti.

[HankChinaski]

I like that he has quick hands. He is definitely more comfortable with his release mid range. Takes his time on 3pt attempts to set and release.
He puts the effort in on defense.
His P&R ability is promising. He adjusts well mid air well to finish above the rim. Hustles in transition.
I like that he doesn't take forever with the ball in his hands in the post. Has decent court awareness and vision locating teammates when passing out.

Looks like a solid signing for someone coming 1st off the bench for the frontcourt and potentially challenging for a starting position mid season if he plays up to potential. Regardless a 2 year deal on a position of need. Not bad.

[Allan Rowe vs Wade]

the opponent was also team usa and not everyone in those situations can be FIBA Patty (tm)

i was watching him more like it was a scrimmage, how big is he, how quick is he, athleticism, hands, feet, etc. looked pretty good to me. not doncic but pretty good

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

I liked his game in general. A couple of nice flip shots in the lane, a couple of dunks rolling to the basket. I thought he moved pretty well without the ball, played decent help defense, disrupted some of the U.S.'s shots. He was missing free throws, his long range shot wasn't falling, and in general looked a little nervous playing against the USA and probably in front of his new coach, but overall I was pretty impressed. I'm pretty happy we signed him.

[RC_Drunkford]

His offensive arsenal is great. 3-point range, midrange shots, good freethrow shooter, reliable hook shot, throws it down with authority, good roller, good passer out of the pick & roll, good footwork, can pick & pop, good touch around the rim, good post player especially against mismatches and very physical. Defense is where we have to see what it’s like, but he seems mobile enough to not be a liability. Him being a good passer out of the pick & roll might bring the most value. We haven’t really had a player like this since 2016. That was one of the key things of the beautiful game

[John B]

A big note is his ability to switch on PNR. I think he did a great job on moving his feet. Seriously, Poeltl should be working on his game right now because this guy is about to take his spot. But either way, if Pop plays him at PF, Keldon at SF and Poeltl at C, Derrick and DJ, Spurs would be a heck of a defensive team.

[Ocotillo]

I am a Jak supporter but the one thing that drives me nuts about his game is the infrequency of him dunking the damn ball. Too many lay up attempts that roll off. Jock doesn't appear to have that shortcoming.

[Dejounte]

[Dejounte]

Yep by “smart”, he meant he was smart to relax the game or else he would receive no playing time next season.

Damn good signing on Jock's part, he's on track to get overpaid by Detroit in 2023.

rare to see the consensus on a signing or incoming player so positive here. everyone who watches this guy seems to see similar good things in his effort and skillset.

we'll see if things change for him in the NBA but I think he has a very promising future.

Tonight, the Boomers have their 5th attempt at Olympic bronze. On the prior 4 occasions, they have fallen short. Coach Goorjian spoke eloquently about his team overcoming past demons. Jock Landale put it more simply: 'We can fucking make history' theguardian.com/sport/2021/aug… (https://t.co/wsGcMYl766)

Congratulations Patty. You will be missed. I truly wanted Patty to be back (albeit in limited minutes). But as Pop truly said it, he’s in a better situation. Much deserved. And thank you for handing that punk Doncic the lost. Maybe it will humble him a little.

Congratulations Jock! Welcome to the Spurs family.

[John B]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E8EFHTvVoAELs3q?format=jpg&name=large

I really think he could be a great positive influence to Big Ben Simmons. The guy spells like Manu and Patty as a great team mate who will battle with you. Great character guy. I hope Simmons cooperate more with the Sixers organization and request to be traded to the Spurs to play with Jock. I think they could be great together.

[Das Texan]

Big time Conrgats to Patty!

Gonna miss him, but it needed to happen. Hope he remains part of the San Antonio family though!

[Em-City]

Proud of patty, and glad to have Jock on board to continue representing the aussie spirit in San Antonio.


Little known fact, Matt Nielson, head coach of Austin Spurs is also from the 2004-2012 Australian team

[Dex]

Big time Conrgats to Patty!

Gonna miss him, but it needed to happen. Hope he remains part of the San Antonio family though!

His jersey will be in the rafters some day. People will argue about whether it's deserved or not....but if we retired AJ, Elliott, Bowen, etc, then Mills definitely meets the qualifications. 10 years with the team, great leader in the locker room, and a huge part of the 2014 championship

Didn't watch the first half but part of it was Luka forcing a switch for him in the perimeter. Taking him farther from the rim and also limiting his minutes.

[The Truth #6]

We can start him over Yak as far as I care. Love Yak, but having a 3 point shooter at the 5 would feel like a hot rail of meth at this point, so to speak. (For comparison, watching Forbes play 30 minutes a night...more like a fork in the eye, but I digress.)

I would limit the jersey retirements to guys that contributed heavily toward a championship. Patty had a long run as a Spurs player but his role on the 2014 title team was close to insignificant . But they're probably going to have Patty up there just for his longevity in a Spur jersey.

[K...]

So why couldn’t he ever play like that with the Spurs?

tony parker was better and when tony left we no longer had elite bigs to let patty go wild.

[ismael-robert]

Coming to Vegas is to start learning the system n develop chemistry, not measure talent

[Harry Callahan]

I don't think Patty should be in the same category as the guys up there now that are the best of the best for the most part, but what a fine career he had in San Antonio. He was a key bench player and was a very positive influence on the team.

He was a great representative for the Spurs organization. A great teammate. I'll always be a fan of Patty.

Would not shock me if he rings in Brooklyn next year.

I mean, have you seen NBL salaries? SOB is getting a massive pay raise anyway. I think he picked the Spurs because he felt like he had a chance to beat out Eubanks. He did supposedly agree knowing Collins was coming over, but Zach is still injured, so he might've disregarded him. I wouldn't put him on the roster as a lock when that means the Spurs might eat a ton of dead money.

So my whole theory of Eubanks and Landale competing in camp, with the loser getting cut, is beginning to have some meat to it?

Different time, but I stumbled across this.

Zach Collins was no slouch either, frequently forcing Jock Landale and Dane Pineau to earn every inch of positioning in the post.

We’re stacked!!! :lol

He lost the mohawk though

Spurs: sign a solid, young big prospect to a great flexible contract.

SpursTalk: FUCKING PATFO! THIS IS JUST MORE MONEY FOR THEM TO GIVE FORBES.

Don't get me wrong...I hate Bryn coming back too, but give it a rest people.

Problem is if they need to cut bodies at the end of training camp it looks like Landale is a prime candidate with his contract while Forbes has a decent chunk of fully guaranteed money both this year and next year.

We'll see. From a financial aspect, I agree that he seems like he is set up for the chopping board.

I also don't think Pop would bring in a friend of Mills (who I'm sure gave feedback) and someone he interacted with in Tokyo..fly him in all the way from Australia and give him a guaranteed contract just to cut him in training camp.

They are already posting tweets and pics of him in a Spurs jersey. Dude is a Spur.

If I was Eubanks, I would be looking for ways to get out of my lease right now.

Eubanks is also making three times as much. Assuming the Spurs have to swallow Aminu's $10mil before the start of the season I doubt ownership will want to shell out more than they have to.

[RC_Drunkford]

Great deal tbh. I'm pretty sure he will surprise people. His offensive skillset is very advanced, he should have a long NBA career

[timvp]

Listening to Jock talk about his needlessly and annoyingly long road to the NBA, you'd think the dude was 35 and not 25 :lol

[exstatic]

Unless minimum salary dropped to $600K, he’s not. Drew is making just shy of $1.8M. Next year is unguaranteed.

[DeRozan m8]

I've said it before, but fuck I love this

Was hoping he would make the NBA, watched his entire Australian season he just played as he landed on my Oz team...never imagined he'd land on my NBA team too

[BackHome]

I have no Clue what this Organization is doing but Landale is a keeper for sure.

[John B]

Too bad Patty was gone. Having him, Jock and maybe Simmons would’ve been fun. Having Jock might get Simmons situate better with a familiar face and fellow Aussie to go battle with.

[CGD]

He, Keldon, and Drew are gonna bring that high level of energy and fire. Gonna be fun.

[Chomag]

I like this signing, he definitely has that Aussietude going, but I wonder how often he is going to be in :pop: 's doghouse because he doesn't speak in politically correct woke speech?

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Yep, Bryn has to be getting that entire exception.


Fvck!

[BatManu20]

Met Jock yesterday at Target. He and his smoke-show girlfriend. Was standing behind him in the checkout line and thought damn that dude is tall. He was wearing a mask and a ball cap so didn’t recognize him at first. Then he said something to his girlfriend and the Australian accent gave it away. Asked him if he was Jock Landale and he confirmed. Told him I was Spurs fan and said welcome to San Antonio and good luck this season. Didn’t wanna bother him so kept it brief. He appreciated it and said “Thanks mate, I’ll do my best” lol. Nice guy.

At least he didn't turn down your young daughter for picture after she had just had been put in a cast and on crutches, TBH

One of the classics. And you know, even though Leonard's rep has fallen off majorly since then, I still don't think turning that person's daughter down made any less sense.

Thought this was gonna turn into a story about being in the syrup aisle and him being slow as molasses

[rjv]

dude shops at Target. like him already.

[Allan Rowe vs Wade]

did you tell him bryn sucks?

[The Truth #6]

Hopefully they keep both Eubanks and Landale. Seems stupid to cut Eubanks. Really stupid. Especially if he is a casualty of the Zollins/Forbes giveaway.

If Landale can shoot 3s, no way they should cut him.

Eubanks on a recent pod said he’s worked a lot with Chip this summer on his 3, and evidently Chip is happy with his progress. I need to see some proof of that, but exciting potential.

Yak is on a great deal, but if Jock and Drew are both shooting 3s, Yak may need to be the one who is worried? Who knows. The roster is and will be a mess until more clarity in the plans develops.

I'm with you. I wasn't necessarily against the Zollins signing in principle -- take a gamble with a little bit of money on a player who could return from injury and pay off -- but Eubanks is the fucking banger a team needs, he seems to really fit in with the young crew, and he's working his ass off to get better. He's likely never more than a bench guy or spot starter, but you need a man who can get into a game gone sloppy or inert and bash some skulls and rock the rim and get things going. Landale seems the same way, if a bit different skill set. They both have terrific chips on their shoulders.

No to letting Eubanks go.

[BatManu20]

did you tell him bryn sucks?

Forgot to tbh. I’m sure he’ll figure it out himself during the first practice.

[PhantomDashCam]

Jock on an Australian radio show talking about the Spurs, Patty Mills and the Olympic Bronze medal win.
Excuse the hosts Spurs fans, they know next to nothing about basketball but are actually some of the more genuine people in the industry
(from what I’m told).
Some cool tidbits in there - supposedly an open court run set to take place in a few days time.
Hopefully we can get an update about that from some of the Spurs media.

Sounds like this was before the right-wing freaks in this country plunged us back into quarantine because they won't get two vaccine ouchies and would rather die of Delta Covid.

[BackHome]

I know 4 people recently who got covid two ended up in Hospital all 4 had been Vaccinated - Besides Delta you got the Mu and the Lamda variants both coming from South America - But hey let’s close down the Canadian Border and let’s open up our Southern Border that makes perfect sense in what fucking world?

Oh an in case you didn’t know kids can’t get the Vaccine so I guess you labeled them right wing freaks because they are getting it and spreading it? Ya Dumb fuck

Lol, Canada shut down the border with us and it's such a stupid fucking moronic Republican bitch topic about the southern border.

It's the right-wing freaks in Texas and Florida and all the stupid red states that are fuelling the fire for this fucking thing, and your bitch-ass governors who are making it impossible for school boards to protect their kids.

This is ENTIRELY the fault of the GOP and their death cult. Fuck all y'all.
