Post Game Quotes (Lakers Game)

If Jacque Vaughn can make it on the spurs as an "NBA ready" 3rd string pg for years then surely Ced Jackson is capable. I thought in his sparse PT he showed way more talent than Vaughn had. But I digress...

Vaughn was a "been there and done that" guy, that's why Pop trusted in him a bit more.
CJ is a rookie with little knwoledge about Spurs O and D. You cant compare them, its ridiculous (and I'm not saying that I liked him).

Well, it's a gamble either way. Some want to gamble on Ginobili's health remaining intact for the remainder of the year as yet another burden is placed on his shoulders. Pretty foolish to take that gamble, IMO.

I'd gladly instead take the gamble that CJackson could have come in for a handful of games and help handle the ball up and down the court for Manu and Roger for 20-25 minutes a game, play some defense and maybe log a few assists without turning the ball over excessively.

Well, it's true that we need someone who can take the burden out of Manu and Mason for brief periods of time, but I really don't care if it was Temple or Jackson doing it, neither of them was gonna be a Spurs next year and once TP and GH are back, they become useless bench players.

So they could have signed Jerrells at any time but they signed Temple before Jerrells because they like him less than they like Jerrells and then signed Temple for the rest of the season only to fill out the roster to 13 after signing Jerrells to put the roster at 14.

Makes perfect sense.

Dunno why you say that, maybe my english failed?
That's the truth, you can search articles and see the reasons behind Gee and Jerrells contracts.

I don't believe I misunderstood, but I suppose it's possible.

I followed the Jerrells and Gee developments, so that's not it.

I understood you to say:

1. Jerrells was signed as a project for next season and to keep other teams from signing him.

2. Temple was signed to meet minimum roster requirements.

That doesn't make sense to me. The Jerrells signing would cover the minimum roster requirement by itself. No need to keep Temple once you've decided to sign Jerrells.

If that's what you meant, my point stands. If I misunderstood you, I'd like to know your actual meaning.

Why are you guys are still talking about this? It is a semantic argument considering none of the aforementioned d-leaguers have any chance of cracking the rotation and getting meaningful minutes other than in garbage time. Malik and Ian can't even get the minutes they deserve and you think Temple and Jerrels could play when a game is on the line? Really?

This thread went well...

Let's put it this way:
Temple was kicked out of Sac and believe me, Sac fans were about to throw things into the court every time they saw him standing up to get inside.
They hated the guy, and they were right, he sucked there.
We are talking about a guy that couldn't make it to the Rockets roster...
He's not NBA ready, and his stats in the Vipers are not good enough. Pop's gonna cut him out of the team as soon as this season is over. He will send him to summer camp just to give him a shot.
Thats the way I see it.
And I dont believe Cedric Jackson is good either. He showed a couple more things than Temple but he's not NBA ready either (but will have more shots than Temple).
