Yeah. It'd long been speculated about. I have a feeling he'll get enough to were SA won't have the money to get another player on the roster. But we'll see.

How many PGs is that for the Spurs? Murray, Mills, Jones, and...?
2 - White and Jones
Pretty much this.
Mills masqueraded as a PG for one year when Kawhi was here and failed miserably at it. He was the Forbes of that time.
Q should count as a PG-- the offense flows much more naturally with him running the point than say, Dejounte.
Lol I don't blame Tre for getting paid. No reason to make him an enemy. In fact, I'm reading this dude has a lot of leadership qualities. That can only be a good thing. We need men, not boys.
As far as Q >>> Tre... maybe. Q has a lot of other utilities though, I don't think he has to have to overlap with Tre. Tre + Q on the court at the same time could be a terror for the opposing team.
Jones is the only "true PG" in the sense that he's the lone player who projects to play it exclusively on both sides of the ball.
It's not like it really matters though because when Murray, White or Mills is unavailable, Jones won't be next man up, Vassell will be.
Similar to the Metu deal, I assume. First two guaranteed while the 3rd is non-gauranteed.
3 years for a 2nd round pick?
He was projected to go in the first round. 1st team All-ACC and ACC DPOY.
Not a bad guy to get locked up on a cheap contract.
I'm gone say Q and Tre will get a shot to replace Mills, who i beleive will be gone.
Jones--impressive credentials so far.
Mills may hang around for another contract, though at a lower rate. He seems destined to work for the Spurs organization, but a little young to hang it up completely.
Feel he has a chance to contribute earlier than Vassell.
Spot situation on-ball defence is extremely valuable especially with the beasts at the PG position out west.
Vassell has more compe ion for minutes at the wing.
Unless Walker spectacularly flops or DDR traded; DDR, Walker, Keldon and perhaps situationally DJ and White should eat up the chunk of the minutes there.
Excited to see how it plays out.
The Spurs rotations at the start of the year aren’t usually indicative of where they end up by season’s end.
Another totally worthless signing by a front office used to be stellar and will be coached by a HOF coach who is way past prime. Bottom line.
Great signing, has much more upside than Quinndary Weatherspoon. More of a traditional point guard, who will get others involved then look for his shot. Weatherspoon is more of a combo guard. Spurs will be running postionless combinations that will wear down teams by the 4th quarter.
You missed one: ACC POY
Nice. My guess was that the Spurs would offer Tre Jones 3 or 4 years but Jones would only want 1 or 2 years so that he could hit free agency sooner. That the Spurs got Jones to take three years is a win because I'm pretty confident he's an NBA player, so this should be a bargain by the end of the third season.
It'll be interesting to see the final details but I assume it will be right at the minimum with the first two years guaranteed and a team option for the third season. A partial guarantee on the third season wouldn't be a surprise. With Poeltl's number coming in closer to $26 million and the MLE still available, the Spurs had some wiggle room to get creative. We'll see.
Why is everybody in love with Weatherspoon?
Some posters basically just remember the good things he did in the bubble, which made him seem like an obvious NBA player and don't remember the times where he was killing the team on the court. I like Weatherspoon too, but like, I don't know that he'll be on the team long term, especially as a solid rotation player. He's not solid enough to make up for his lack of talent, but he's still young enough to where he could fix that.
"Killing the team on the court" = hesitant to shoot the 3 a couple times, which most rooks do in front of Pop
Q is going to prove a lot of doubters wrong here.
He was immediately given Beli's minutes and received minutes first over Luka. Beli was forced not to play, basically.
Q has a natural feel for the game, unlike most of our young players who still look awkward playing basketball up to this day.
Metu struggled for years to gain any confidence from the coaching staff to get any playing time.
Q gained it easily in one year.
Just the huge difference there should indicate he has a future with the Spurs.
