The Gist

[Axl Van Dam]

Has James been waived?

[Muser]

Nope.

[Darkwaters]

Has he even been signed? I don't remember even seeing info on him signing a contract.

[Bruno]

The most likely scenario is that he signs a contract with Spurs today.

[raspsa]

I hope he's made up his mind if he wants to be a 3 or a 4..

[Darkwaters]

There you go. He can't have been waived if he hasn't signed a contract. We'll see how long it takes once he inks a deal. But it's probably just a matter of time.

[bigdog]

If he's not signed today, then I don't think he'll be with the Spurs at all.

[coyotes_geek]

One would think the Spurs are trying to put the hard sell on Gist to go back to europe for one more year. Whether or not Gist likes that idea is another story.........

[benefactor]

Toros....meet Mr. Gist.

[Spurs Brazil]

Gist name not here

[urunobili]

[Ditty]

[cheguevara]

Europe it is. Unless there's another McClinton surprise we haven't heard about yet..............

[Spurs Brazil]

Interesting. I wonder what his plans are. Perhaps Austin is still a possibility. If he tears it up down here the Spurs might give him a look if a trade happens.

Can he go to Austin without sign a contract or get waived by the Spurs?

I don't think he can

[Spurs Brazil]

Europe it is. Unless there's another McClinton surprise we haven't heard about yet..............

The Spurs also needed to make the QO to Gist too, didn't they?

[completely deck]

he's Gist not good enough

Love it.

[beachwood]

There is no way in Gist deserves to make the team. He's no where near an NBA caliber player. He needs more years in Europe or the D-League.

[coyotes_geek]

The Spurs also needed to make the QO to Gist too, didn't they?

I'd think that if they hadn't we'd have heard about it.

[Ocotillo]

Camp should be competive for the rooks and former D-leaguers, out of the 18, 3 will need to be released and 3 more will be suiting up in street clothes.

[PDXSpursFan]

Has James been waived?

To be waived 1st he needs to be signed

[coyotes_geek]

2 of the releasees are easy. Jerrells and Jones are just warm bodies for training camp and the preseason. Hairston/Williams is really the only roster decision to be made.

[spurster]

James Gist!
