He does not play in Euroleague. He cannot be MVP of league he not play in.
which scorers are these you talk about?

Does this mean RC goes back to Rob on his hands and knees?
No, it just means Tolliver has a far better chance of sticking.
I think Gist would compete against Tolliver for a spot, but for some reason the Spurs already chose Tolliver.
hmmm darn it.
Hope Italy turns The Gist into more of a beast!
Are the Spurs interested in adding a long, taller 3? Haven't read much about this of late.
i just hope the spurs and gist have some sort of verbal agreement or he has a buyout so he could come sometime in the future and that hes over there to develop. if hes lost for good that would be terrible.
I think Tolliver's contract is only a small partial guarantee (like Rich Melzer a couple years back). So the Spurs aren't that committed to him either.
That's pretty weird since the Spurs signed him for 2 years. Can a contract longer than 1 year be partially guaranteed?
If they're sending scouts over periodically to check on his development, I think we can assume that's the case.
Yes. He's guaranteed something like $50-100K for the first year (I'm guessing ... maybe $150K) and the second year is not guaranteed and becomes a team option if they end up guranteeing the full first year.
Yes it can.
If I not wrong D.Brown and Jax got those type of deals
there had been a lot of talk that the spurs were going to send gist to europe anyways. if this was the spurs idea, sending gist to europe would only destroy any chance of him ever becoming a combo SF/PF because gist would be only used as a PF in europe. spurs also have to realize that sending people to europe or the toros should only be used on players who have very little experience, not players who already know how to play the game. gist spent four years playing NCAA basketball and the only way he can develop more is through NBA experience.
TD, Fab or Kurt, Tony, Bruce and Mason are starters. Who is the first BIG off the bench the way Horry did for 4 years? If not Mahimni than who? Who comes in for Mason? A second unit of Manu, Vaughn, Mahimni, Fab or Thomas & and Finley just doesn't get it done. I hope the FO has another move in mind! The Spurs need another Horry or just bring him back until someone proves they can contribute the way he did.
It is within the realm of possibility that the Spurs actually encouraged Gist to sign up with an Italian. He'll get good exposure to the European style of play, at the same time, we still will hold his rights.
If he went to the D-league then I guess we would have renounced our rights.
At least some of the Spurs' FO members got promotions this off-season!
you clearly underestimate The Gist's capabilities
time to change your sig hater
blasphemer!!
I wonder if my sig will work with "The Tolliver"
Now what? People around here keep saying the FO has something brewing but I highly doubt it. RC and POP are doing a really good job of ing this team up.
Oh ye of little faith.
You have to be patient. If when the season starts you do not like the team, then make your judgments, but until then just wait.
I worry that if Gist has a good year over there if he will become one of those players that wind up stuck in the Europ league because they'll offer him more salary + benefits to stay over there long term.
I think a lot of non-sure thing players are going to be in that situation where they can't afford to come back to the US and the NBA salary.
We may never get him back. It may not be a big loss if the FO didn't think enough of him to sign him up this summer, but who knows.
