Any guesses out there? Seems like most of the “talent” is being signed right now. Dejuan Blair probably on the treadmill plotting his comeback. If Manu came back for a couple games would that postpone his HOF eligibility? Spurs still got Jeff Ayres still on speed dial :lol

We have a pretty good pipeline of guys in Austin. Maybe Sammy and Pop can make up and Sammy can double dip for Pop’s stubborness.

Dont think it will happen but I would be all for it. I am guessing we cannot sign another teams 2 way player. I am hoping he gets to play some on the Knicks but their bigs seem to be healthy.

No one. Why would they? They’re fully vaxed, and likely boosted, too, and I don’t believe they’ve ever had more than 1 player in protocols at a time. As a counterpoint, ATL Now has nine players simultaneously in protocols, and Miami just signed our gleague center so they would have 8 players in order to be able to play tonight.

Some teams get it. Some teams don’t.

I'm pretty sure that other teams are vaxxed and boosted too, Exstatic. I'd put our current minimal COVID challenges at the feet of luck more than anything...

I am pretty sure we have more then one player out at this current time. My guess since they just started popping up we will get more in future days.

https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/32314590/vaccination-rate-nba-players-rises-95-percent-sources-say

nba is 95%

30*15=450
95% is 427.5 most would be 23 players not vaccinated. so if every team has 1 not vaccinated that means 7 teams are fully vaccinated. I am sure more players have gotten it since then although probably not many.

Yeah saying Spurs are more safe because they are more vaxed is so dumb. Just a matter of time, maybe that shortened quarantine time may help teams keep playing without these scrub signings.

As of now, it’s two, Dejounte who’s almost done, and two way player Cacok as of today. I’m on Twitter constantly, and Woj and Shams echo each and every player who goes on protocols. They even had Cacok today. Nobody’s keeping any secrets.

Is there actually players playing that are not vaccinated? I thought I read you can't play if you're not. I thought that is why Kyrie is sitting out.

some cities have it but most do not. Kyrie is in a city that does require plavers to be vaxed so he could play in away games. Nets originally did not want a PT player so they held him out of all now he may be playing in the road games but still will not play at home.

I’ve been in Vancouver, Toronto, Boca, NYC and now London, England / Glasgow, Scotland since American TG and double vax means nothing in your ability to test positive. Anecdotal but also something for you all to chew on; players can protect themselves and others as much as possible and still catch it. Might only be the sniffles or no symptoms at all butnif they are testing daily it’s going to come up.

He can’t play in Toronto, either. While we don’t have a national mandate, you can’t return to the US unless fully vaxed.

I wonder if there are any more former players who'd like to come back for one last taste of the NBA. It's hard, because the players likely aren't in game shape or if they are it's because they're signed in Europe or whatever. Is there anyone folks here would like to see come back to make a cameo in a Spurs uniform? For me, it might be Josh McRoberts. Dude was low-key one of my favorite non-Spurs to watch, especially when he transitioned from flashy dunker to a ball-moving stretch big. The Spurs had Diaw at the time and never really had a use for him, but had Josh's timeline just been a couple of years later, he could've really helped the Post-Duncan front courts. They actually had decent big play with David Lee. But especially that next season with Pau winding down, they could have used someone to help the offense out. Joff tried, but he was Joff after all.

Covid is airborne that's why Whoopi Goldberg and everyone else gets it who thinks they are doing everything right. Their immune system problem sucks from being fat and sitting at home all day too but I'll digress.

Hell yeah I want to see some washed up former Spurs players back for 10 days let's do it. The Miami Heat are doing it right by hiring Stephen A.'s dear friend, Mario Chalmers.

Repeating ad nauseum, but i did own the second player on protocols. At the time of this comment, that was the situation. Later, four other players went on protocols, which has nothing to do with the numbers in this statement. At a maximum, maybe for a day,we had six on protocols, still leaving us with 10 roster or two way players available. There has never been a game postponed because we were short on players, so, yeah, we’re doing it better than most of the other guys.
