Gist: "I’m going to play for the Spurs this year."

[4RINGS]

Will Gist still be an option if Sheed signs next week???

[HarlemHeat37]

Gist should still be an option..it depends how the front office views him though..I think he'll be much better in the NBA as a 3/4, instead of strictly as a 4..

[4RINGS]

Gist or Blair? Who do you think has a better chance to make the team this coming year?

[coyotes_geek]

Blair, but I doubt the Spurs see the two of them in direct compe ion for one roster spot. So it's possible that both make it.

[Spurs Brazil]

I think Gist needs to show another good performance on the Summer League to get a contact.

We'll also have to see how Ian and Blair will play in those games. If those two guys do well I don't see the Spurs offering Gist a contract

[Obstructed_View]

Summer league is going to be heavy compe ion between a lot of quality guys for a chance to really contribute to the Spurs. I can hardly wait.

I definitely hope they focus on making him a 3, although he could back up the 4 next year behind Blair. My thought is that they'll almost be overloaded at the 4/5 next year assuming they can bring Splitter over and they've signed Rasheed for a couple years, and they'll ideally need someone at the backup small forward position.

It would be awesome if Gist could (as much as possible) become our Bowen replacement, or something approaching Trevor Ariza.

when and where can i watch summer league?

[Obstructed_View]

Webcast on NBA.com

[Thompson]

Webcast on NBA.com

All the games, or just some of them? Also, is Vegas on Mountain or Pacific time?

[Baseline]

Spurs older than Tim Duncan on the end of season roster:

2005---6
2006---7
2007---6
2008---8
2009---5

As of today, Michael Finley is the only Spur under contract older than TD.

Finley is also older than Pop.

And this just in...Finley is worthless. Gist should absolutely take Finley's place. But if not Finley, then he should certainly take Udoka's place.

Seriously, folks, NBA.com has all the information, which is all in the link Mel put up an hour ago. Don't you guys have internet access? Do I need to show you how to open a new browser window?

I was wondering if you knew off the top of your head if they were streaming all the games. I've been to the website, it doesn't say. You probably don't know, but there's no harm in asking (despite the fact that you have apparently suffered greatly).

And Vegas is apparently on Pacific time, so the marked times are two hours later for us.

[BackHome]

C Wallace Mahinmi Bonner
Pf Duncan Blair Gist
Sf Jefferson Bowen Hairston
Sg Mason Manu McClinton
Pg Parker Hill Williams

Is there a limit to how many rookies we can send to the Toros at once? Have the IR guys down in Austin; Gist and McClinton along with Williams if possible to get them used to the Spurs system, at least for the first 2-3 months of the season. Bring them back and be sure to get them enough time with the Spurs so that they can play if needed in the postseason. Hopefully by the end of the season Hairston or Gist will have taken over the backup SF role from Bowen.

2010 -Splitter comes over and we're loaded.

If we sign Wallace then I see no reason to Keep Bonner. My wish list would be:

Pg. Tony/Hill/Williams
SG. Manu/Mason/McClinton
SF. Jefferson/Gist/Hariston
PF. Timmy/Blair/Bonner
C. Gorat or Sheed/Ian

Security Blankets: Gist in case Blair knees.....and Bonner in case Ian breaks.

Now that Orlando is letting go Turko they are going strong for Sheed. If that happens we desperately need Gorat and I would also give up on Hariston and sign Herman from Detroit.

All games last year were available live and free online.

[Thompson]

Thank you. I'm definitely watching them all.

[Mel_13]

Thank you. I'm definitely watching them all.

If I remember correctly, most games had no commentators. Only the games that were to be shown on NBA-TV had play-by-play. There were game blogs here on ST.
