Agree to a two-way deal per Shams.
Disgusting.
Are you ever happy about anything? Why are you set on trying to be edgy all the time? Lack of attention in real life? Maybe you need a break and need to go climb a local Hill or mountain to re-assess your life that you've spent majority of your days trying to troll people.
Copy of Costello 👎🏻
Does this leave the Spurs with one two way contract left?
Don't love it. They already had him on a camp deal. He did nothing in the summer league to make me want to upgrade his status.
Spurs have no idea what the fuck they're doing with these two-way contracts. It seems that they sign the scrubbiest players they can with them.
Spurs need backup at the 4 and 5, so this makes sense.
He's got long arms, but is a bit short. On the other hand, Lauverne was also the same height.
He didn't impress at all in Summer League.
Two way deals aren't really that good anyway, so don't expect anyone with any real upside to sign.
The other two-way I think automatically goes to Heustis. That's what I've heard so far.
Can you blame him? 20 years of competing for a chip with the greatest trio in NBA history and now it seems like every signing makes some fans want to puke. Hell, sometimes it even feels like:
lol if you're getting upset about a two-way deal....
he was dominate in summer league & often looked like the best player on the court.................he an instant upgrade over pau...........jakob/eubanks = splitter/blair
He played well and controlled in the SL, in limited minutes. He’s got good athleticism, great in pick and rolls and positioning himself around the basket for easy buckets. He can also block some shots. I like it, I think he can be a good rotation player. With that being said I hope Blossomgame gets the other 2 way contract with the team.
Think they still have a 2way left Huestis got a make good contract if waived then they can offer it
Surprised no news on blossomGod
Would rather have seen Blossomgame get this spot as it seems we already have enough big men that like to hang out in the paint.
Not the flashiest looking guy out there, but from what I saw he's got some moxy in him. Have to see how his game will translate against NBA players.
Josh Huestis is NBA trash. He's a failed OKC project that has zero offensive skills. Everyone agreed that he was a second round talent, but because he agreed to sign a d-league contract for a year, he was a late first pick, and cost cutting move by OKC. It didn't pay off.
Unless Pondexter fails misreably, Josh likely will be the other 2-way deal.
Apparently, he's got an exhibit-10 deal: https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/ba...hibit-10-deal/
Yuck. Huestis is older than JSimms was when he caught on here, and has shown far less. I hope he's a training camp casualty.
garbage
I think he played against Metu before on different schools.. But yeah not a big deal signing
Who do the fuck do you think they can get that deep into the bench?
Guys whom they drafted and let toil in the d-league. A PG to give them a bit of depth at their weakest position. A wing with size. If Eubanks is just Costello 2.0 then it's a waste. It's not that he can't end up being a good player and contributor this season. But it makes little sense to upgrade his contract before the pre-season. There's a lot to be said about keeping a two-way slot open and seeing if someone decent gets cut in camp.
What I am saying is, is that they're not even good enough to be on a 17 man roster. The Spurs are signing players no-one else wants to those two-way roster spots.
Also, you keep trashing Heustis, but I am sure that I read he wanted to leave OKC and go somewhere where he can expand on his game. He even said he'd take less money to go somewhere where he can become a better player. Don't remember where I read it or maybe I watched it, but he's better than those scrubs you're defending. He might not make every team's 17 man roster, but he's been in the NBA and is a lot more closer to making a roster, especially in the 16th or 17th spot than these two-way contracts the Spurs keep signing are.
As per SI https://www.si.com/nba/nba-draft-201...ings-big-board
92. DREW EUBANKS, C, OREGON STATE | JUNIOR
Height: 6'10" | Weight: 250 | Age: 21 | Last: NR
Stats: 13.2 PPG, 6.8 RPG, 1.7 BPG
An athletic, low-usage dive man, Eubanks put together a solid couple of seasons for the Beavers and opted to forgo his senior year. He‘s unlikely to be drafted, but has the tools to be an effective finisher and rebounder in the G League or overseas. Eubanks has no jump shooting component to his game, and that coupled with limited defensive versatility and average rim protection makes it harder to envision him fitting neatly into a role on a winning team. In the best case scenario, he eventually slots into a backup role and lives off his own hustle on the floor.
If I understand contemporary terms, dive men are big men like Capela who rebound and catch lobs or rely on athleticism to score. The San Antonio front office also seems to love his hustle, similar to Matt Costello. Eubanks taking up the first two-way slot (guaranteed) still gives Blossomgame a small window of opportunity, but he has competition in Huestis and Pondexter. I hope Blossomgame doesn't take it personally. He's a consistent three-point shot away from cracking the fringes of an NBA roster.
EDIT: Apparently this is what a dive man normally does: https://medium.com/the-basketball-dictionary/dive-6baf356529cf
It's not that Eubanks had no potential. He was an eager shot-blocker in the summer league, and his much younger than someone like Brimah. It's just that he was already locked for a TC spot. My best guess for why PATFO upgraded him is because another team offered a two-way contract, and Eubanks/his representation asked to be let out of their deal to pursue the guaranteed money. But I would have called his bluff or just let him go if that was the case.
yo I think we can agree this is a move that barely moves the needle whether they sign Brimah or Huestis or Malik Newman. The front office probably thought he was their kind of guy and they can just waive him if he sucks. Some of the more tenured fans want Blossomgame and I'd love for him to get a fair shake but the front office likely had a closer look and took a pass, at least this season. We've mostly been limited to highlight videos we forget about the raw aspects of their game. For a sophomore at summer league he did okay, nothing spectacular.
Huestis > this caucasoid scrub
Well, I tend to concurr that it seems like the Spurs passed on Blossomgame and that they mostly seem set on their full roster, barring someone completely failing in preseason and getting cut prior to the start of the season (not unheard of...)
