I smell some Vaughn time tonight.![]()
It sucks royally that both are hurt. Spurs need to start this season on a positive note and gain some good momentum to stay alive until Manu returns.
A rehab training camp and a few games to get into shape wouldn't be the end of the world for those two. Getting a little PT together might be beneficial. A lot depend on their respective timetables for recovery.
Exactly.
The thing I took from my conversation was that they are indeed trying to get Hairston, which is obvious and awesome. Just do not know if it will happen though.
Who is trying to get Hairston? Can you elaborate?
The Toros. It looks like the Spurs thought they could keep Farmer and have Hairston be picked up by the Toros. It is not confirmed as fact, just that they will be looking at him.
Can we surmise that the Spurs still have in in their sights for this season?
Not sure, but I would assume so. I do not think that even if the Spurs signed Malik instead of Farmer that he would be playing for the Spurs. He would be with the Toros. So I think that the Spurs thought they had a good shot of keeping Farmer and still having Malik on the Toros where he would be available for a call up by any team. If Ginobili comes back, then they can cut Farmer and sign Malik.
I doubt Hill will got to Austin. Toros first game is in one month and Hill is in game shape.
Mahinmi has missed the whole training camp. Toros two weeks training camp and some D-League games could be a nice way to put him back in playing shape. Toros schedule is great for that with 8 games in two weeks at home to start the season.
The person I spoke to said that they all had a good chance at seeing time with the Toros, but you never know.
I just hope Spurs pick the option on Ian and then send him to Toros to get him in game shape
If anything it will just be minor time to get in shape if injuries last longer than expected, no big deal.
Who said this? How certain do you think they are?
So the Spurs are also going to try and get Hairston on the Toros?
this. Jacque Vaughn sucks. He offense is non existent and his defense is average at best. If Vaughn is the back up and Hill goes to the Toros Pop is going to handicap Tim and Tony even more. At least Hill has the chance to be a really good defender which would give us more than Vaughn.
If Pop doesn't want to play him because his point guard skills aren't there yet run him at shooting guard on offense and point guard on defense.
I DO NOT WANT VAUGHN as the back up PG. I'd be OK with spot minutes, but not in the regular rotation.
