Hey LJ- you left off Skita! :lol
Spurs just don't seem to me to be interested in taking on one young player and developing him.
I saw Devin Brown last night at Lifetime.
I haven't been keeping up as much as I'd like to with the NBA, last I heard he was traded for DFish to Golden State. So I asked him, he said "na, I'm waiting on a call". If our roster is at 14, and he's in the city (even though he is from here)...who knows? It could happen.
Seems like good preparation to see who gets cut before the season starts - a Rawle Marshall here or there. I'm with most here, though, who see this as nothing. They can pick up Sanders or Devin Brown if they have to a few weeks from now.
He got cut by Golden StateQuote:

Of course I hope they have someone in mind. Tshkitishvili? :toast :dizzy
If I was the Spurs, I would IR Horry to start. No sense in even THINKING about putting extra miles on his legs this early in the season.
They might even be able to use him as a coach protege, a la Avery for the Mavs. Just rest the dude. His season starts in May.
Mhm... Ebi got waived by the Mavs. Would you guys pick him up? He is a long 3 (6'9, 200). Is he able to play some defense? I would not mind him as 15th man...

Brother can you spare a dime?
Well, he had 18 and 8 against the Spurs once, if that's any indication (and it isn't).Quote:

Time to quit nickel and dimieing it. They need him.
Anyone tell me why the waived Melzer? Wasn't he showing any potential? It's surprising that they are not signing a young, long 3 for the minimum just to see if they can develop him. Are we that close to the lux tax?
Trade Bonner and Beno for Boykins so there's only one IR spot. But then I don't know who to put on the IR.
:lol Why is everyone bummed about us cutting three scrubs? All this gloom and doom shit over a couple of scrub wingmen.
Just because none of these three are the ones doesn't mean they're not interested. IF they don't pick anyone up, then yeah we've got a cheap ass owner, but there's several NBA rosters out there with more than 15 that are going to have to make cuts in the next few days, so it's good business sense for them to see who falls onto the waiver wire before making any move.Quote:

I am sorry Melvin was cut. I had hoped we could utilize him on the team this year.
My mortgage is $1245 per month. Hopefully Holt will help me pay it w/ the money he saved :eyebrows
nooo not melvin!!!Quote:

Why are you people upset about Sanders? The guy was a scrub. Geez.
Funny story...
I had no idea the Spurs had a chance of signing Devin. I just thought he was in town. So we're playing full court, and on the game winning shot he faked in, and stepped back for the 2, I swiped for it, got a piece and got his hand as well...and he ended up on the ground :D It wans't vicious or anything, but piont is when he got up I was just kidding with him "Devin, you're not on the Spurs anymore...you're fair game now man." =/ I guess I spoke too soon.
But seriously, has there been any sort of indication he might sign with us? Other then fans pipe dreams.

Why would Devin sign for the minimum?
He's worked real hard to get in the position he is now. If I were him I'd just sit out the year and sign on somewhere next year. Or maybe mid-season with a team.
