Most obvious decision ever. We'll see, but I'd expect Birch to be next (not necessarily now). Bullock especially deserves a chance IMO, I could see him and Cam Payne being interesting to a contender later on if they play well.
I feel like if we were waiving Osman or Bullock, they would have been included in this report too?

I believe we have time to make a decision on the others. Time was up on Stevens
No way man, he was my favorite spur!
nah, Stevens specifically had to be cut by today. we were able to waive him for only 400k. the rest of his salary guaranteed today, so he was time sensitive. they have more time to figure out what to do with Osman/Bullock or anybody else really. think they're trying to find a consolidation trade or two before resorting to just waiving guys. birch will probably be waived tho. doubt any team would want him back as part of a deal. we have so many expiring deals to send out in potential deals that teams would simply ask for another piece and not take on birch
good
Sucks for him, but had to be done. Hope he lands somewhere else.
Stevens was given a small guarantee because he was traded, but his full salary kicked in tomorrow if they didn't waive him today. I don't believe anyone else has any kind of partial guarantee. They're all fully guaranteed deals that we will eat if we waive them, which is OK because they helped get us to the salary floor.
The team worked with him to move up the cut-by date from January, I believe, in order to get this done. I assume it was moved to somewhat as soon as possible to give him a chance to sign on with someone else.
Should have cut/waived Birch, or at least try for a disabled player exception. Stevens will land somewhere, he wasn't that bad of a player or as constantly injured like Birch or Romeo Langford.
I don’t believe there’s a reason for the Spurs to waive anyone else from now until late September, once another big trade happens other teams may need depth, Spurs may still be trying to decide who to keep, or if they do decide to waive someone it would be because they’ve exhausted every other option and want to do what’s right by the player.
stevens and langford are both camp fodder at this point until proven otherwise
if anything id expect langford to latch on somewhere first as stevens is already 26
Nah- there was a timing thing with Stevens not present with Cedi/Bullock. Stevens had to be today due to his contract guarantee
Langford gone
I don't think Langford is on the roster. This is what I mean about folks just assuming Wesley will make the team. He is likely to, but he won't be saved by easy cuts. Barring a trade, he'll have to beat out multiple vets.
i know
i think both guys are "camp fodder" caliber of players. im not losing any sleep or waiving stevens or renouncing langford
Nice of the Spurs to let Steven showcase himself.
Not sure his Kobme chucking for the game helped. Also not sure he teamates trying to earn a spot somewhere were digging it but.....
From what little i saw some possessions no one else showed any inclination to shoot so he went ahead and fired.
Different dude. Stevens is an NBA player who was on Cleveland's roster last year that we received along with Cedi Osman in that salary dump trade earlier this month. He's 26, and would not play SL ball. Stevenson was on the SL roster chucking every shot in sight.
Like, dude, no.
so who gets cut to trim the roster to 15 (putting aside cissoko and barlow)
the spurs would have to cut veterans to preserve wesley's spot on the roster. so yes, by default, he's going to have to beat them out.
Any speculation on why coach and players were tolerating?
You really think the Spurs are going to keep Cam Payne or Reggie Bullock for a year, guys who have no future on the team and are at best on the decline or are just who they are, over a kid who had an injury-marred single season and has a huge vista of development in front of him?
I mean, don't take this personally, but are you brain damaged? How does this make even a tiny lick of sense to you?
Because all shooting guards on the SL team were given a huge green light. You didn't notice Champagnie or Branham shooting all the time, too?
Birch and two off graham, osman, bullock imo and spurs can do a trade also
if the spurs choose graham over wesley, that's the one he can fight with, that'll be the weirdest thing off this offseason by far.
