    Any truth to the rumor they're signing Chris Singleton next?

    Sign a ton of players only to waive them and be on the hook for their salary. Isnt that one way to get closer to the salary floor?

    None of the contracts were fully guaranteed. They’re paying them for like 12-14 days of a minimum salary. Think of it as one rolling minimum contract.

    Solid article, but after reading it I like the signing even less, especially if it is a Wright rather than Pop move. As a Pop move, I still hate it, but you can't fault a coach for trying to optimize wins. Coaches are paid to be short-sighted and focus on winning in the moment. If a Wright move, it shows a fickle commitment to building a winning team against a 5 year time horizon, which is his job and which he correctly pivoted toward when he traded White and Murray.

    I'm not anti-Wright. Some fans are too harsh with him. The pivot to rebuild must have been very difficult to get buy-in from the coaches, but he still managed organizational consensus between owners, FO, and coaches. The Spurs have been a league average front office during his tenure. He inherited a bad hand---it's fair to say he took over at the front offices most challenging moment since...before Popovich arrived. But this move is all sorts of .

    Exstatic has the correct perspective. Rolling minimum contract. I will remind myself of this whenever I see Stanley Johnson check-in and especially on night's when his defense helped us get a win.

    Frustrating. Relationships and character are important but should not be sole reason for signing players. Not only is it alarming Wright selected a bust in the lottery in Stanley, but now he’s doing favors for his previous picks that have no upside?

    Couple that with his bust pick in Primo, things looking a little shaky for Wright at the moment. Let’s hope he can do something good with trades.

    It's a Spurstalk tradition to incessantly about the 15th man.

    Anyone remember Pops Mensah Bonsu? James White!

    This is by far the strangest thing I see pop up on the board over and over lol. It’s a crazy die hard fan message board. What purpose does it have if not to discuss all things related, no matter how small?

    Its not a casuals thing to join a message board and post about a team. It means you have a deeper connection and interest. It would be one thing if said topics led to insane conclusions or blow ups, but a few pages of discussing it and trying to find some meaning in an industry where typically NO move is taken lightly by teams and its cut throat?

    it's low risk high reward. Who cares, it's a practically free shot at something that might stick albeit lightning in a bottle. take swings at stuff with practically zero commitment on guys who have every reason to give all they got and tons of room to test run it. What else should SA be doing?

    Let's take some shots on guys then. This team has pulled Finals record holders off the D league garbage heap before, it's what they do. Not claiming about this guy in particular or anyone else even but you dig enough and you might hit gold no matter how rare the odds are. Why not? Let's spin this wheel and see what we land on here

    There's a big difference between chatting about a 15th spot and asserting the signing has incredible meaning about the future of the franchise. People might want to breathe a little instead of hyperventilating. This guy literally doesn't matter.
