Spurs Assign Washington to Austin Toros

[Darkwaters]

Didn't Pop learn anything from the NVE fiasco?

Yea, we didn't sign a chucker as our third PG.

[ChumpDumper]

Uh, the Spurs won a le with Vaughn as a backup. What did you learn from that?

[Cant_Be_Faded]

That sound.....That sound you hear in the distance.....ChumpDumper's chode just exploded.

[ChumpDumper]

What is the sound of smugness?

[Capt Bringdown]

I don't think Vaughn's got much left, and in my opinion developing DWash with the Spurs would be a better option and would make the team more compe ive in the long run.

I definitely think they're looking to develop DWash. Being sent to the Toros is not the "demotion" I think you attribute it. Remember, they bought the Toros for a reason. I think that reason is named Mahinmi, Washington, Splitter, and maybe even Sanikidze.

[The Truth #6]

If Horry suits up then this issue might be more about him than Darius getting demoted. I don't know anyone who thinks Darius should be on the team instead of Horry.

Except that he will develop very slowly, if at all, in Vaughn's 10 minutes. He will play in Austin, and play a lot of minutes. It's not like he's banished for the year, either. He can go up and down 3 times, if necessary.

I disagree.

And so do the Spurs.

I don't know why anyone thinks this is permanent and irreversible.

[SouthernFried]

I would have liked to see DW play more here. Nothing against Vaughn, like him too. Glad we got the option of bringing him back when/if needed. Does he make same salary?

Still, I don't think he needs more playing time with the Toros. I think he'd benefit more playing with the Spurs, even if it's less playing time. Different people/environment totally.

But, he's there/here should we need him. I like that.

[ChumpDumper]

Horry's coming back; if Darius doesn't go to play 35 minutes for the Toros he plays 0 minutes for the Spurs modeling suits behind the bench.

Which is better? And please, let's not pretend any of the vets need to go to the IR.

[mattyc]

Good move. Boost his confidence, get his minutes up and let him be a leader on that team. Exactly why we are aligned with the Toros.

[Spurs16212]

If the Spurs roster is now at 12.... Could there be anything on the horizon of someone coming to the Spurs in the near future?

[ChumpDumper]

The Spurs roster is still 14; Ian and Darius still count.

Unless there is a trade, I wouldn't look for the Spurs to pick up anyone before they are able to sign 10-day contracts.

I love the internet posters with krispy kreme glaze flakes flying on the screen thinking they know more than spurs management.

[ChumpDumper]

If Darius is as good as some here have advertised, he'll dominate the D-League so thoroughly he'll be back in San Antonio next week.

[Walter Craparita]

Just have him back by the playoffs.

It's time to ing REPEAT.

I call BS on that claim!!

[dwashfan]

Anyone know if I can catch the Toros games on TV, radio or on the internet? I am in Florida.

Thanks!

[ChumpDumper]

During the games, there is sometimes a webcast of the radio call on the D-League site. There are always live stats. Occasionally they are on NBAtv, but that schedule isn't known until the week of the broadcast.

[SAGambler]

I am in disbelief that the Spurs would send Darius to the Toros. Darius was doing better when he was able to play 12 + minutes per game than Vaughn is doing now with those minutes. Darius is young and is only going to get better with time. Vaughn is past his prime and is lucky to just maintain what little talent he does have. Sorry but the stats speak for themselves.

Wholeheartedly agree. I was so hoping that soon Washington would break out as TPs backup and Vaughn would sit and maybe help coach a bit from the sidelines.

[ceds]

Wtf are you guys talking about...

10 NBA mins as a back up pg >>>>> then 40 mins of D league
Capt brings up a good point..Playing Washington nba minutes now could potentially pay big dividends in the future.

The being said i understand why Pop has gone with Vaughn. Its hard to take a 20yr old pg come playoff time instead of the 10+ year vet who plays D and knows the offense. Its a safer choice .. i would have liked to see DW play for half the season before dropping him to D league

He did a pretty good job today.
