My pick is Gist.
I know most of you couldn't watch the game, so feel free to make this one as overall for the previous games. If you had to cut a guy, who would that be?
EDIT: I wanted to make it a poll and I forgot the check the box. Just write in the guy's name.
My pick is Gist.
bonner and rj.
its like they didn't even play.
Gee.
Someone actually saw the game?
Gee
James Gist. He is basically competing with Simmons for the back up 3/small ball 4 role, and despite having better athleticism for the 4 spot, he doesn't have the tools to spend any time at the 3. I'm actually disappointed that Pop has been playing Simmons at the 4 so much in part because that indicates he doesn't believe Simmons helps at the 3 enough to justify a contract solely based on his SF play, but moreso because small ball only works partially in the regular season, and practically never in the playoffs.
A trade is probably necessary for the Spurs to shore up their perimeter defense, and to address the lack of ballhandling/passing ability at the back up PG position.
Gist.
Gist.
Pretty much every fringe player. No one the Spurs brought in has worked out. Which for the Spurs needs, is worst case scenario. It really sucks.
What is so funny? When I meant by the Spurs needs was the back up SF spot. No one that they brought in looks good enough. I would not mind cutting all of them an no one has stood out. It sucks that none of the prospects look like NBA players.
The Spurs main guys are fine, but the glaring hole at the SF spot needs to be addressed and it does not appear that it is going to happen from within.
Gee/Gist/Simmons/Neal/Penney/Temple all could be cut and seemingly would make no impact.
The Spurs fringe players all came up craps.

Solid take.
Looks like you though the same way
I have a question for you.
Has the season started?
cut them all
No.
I have a question for you. In watching the guys that the Spurs brought in, have any looked like legit NBA players that can play the back up SF role that the team needs?
I am not even implying that these players are make or break. I am saying the Spurs were probably hoping for one of the prospects to standout this preseason and none have.
Based on that, it appears that if they are going to fill the void they have said exists, they will probably have to go another route to truly fill it. They might be able to use one of these guys, but that does not mean the void would be truly filled.
Also, this is a thread about who should be cut. IMO, I could care less at this point for all the fringe players.
Sweet.
I have only watched the better part of two games.I have a question for you. In watching the guys that the Spurs brought in, have any looked like legit NBA players that can play the back up SF role that the team needs?
Not a great sample considering what was going on in those games.
Since it's preseason.
And not the regular season.
So did you watch last night's game?
So why then, would you say (in the post I quoted above), that the Spurs scrubs are in fact scrubs when that is essentially what I am saying?
How can you say that if the regular season has not started?
Is it not the least bit concerning that no one has stood out? Quit being dense.
No. How does that change my opinion. I have watched the scrimmage and all the televised games.
I have read the articles.
Based on what I have seen, no one has stood out. That is what preseason is for. To get the fringe players minutes and evaluate them to see who to keep. To this point, no one has separated themselves and that is not a good thing.
That is from Pop himself.
No. You pretty much wrote off the entire season because our scrubs played like scrubs. You want an NBA scrub to not be a scrub and are throwing up your hands because it hasn't happened in the maximum two games you have been able to watch this preseason.
Because they are scrubs. They were scrubs before they joined the team, and they are scrubs now. Anderson is an exception, but he's also coming off an injury. My expectations for scrubs and players coming off injury just don't seem to be as high as yours.How can you say that if the regular season has not started?
Not really. Other scrubs can be had if it comes to that.Is it not the least bit concerning that no one has stood out?
Sweet.
Neither did I, so I'm not going to claim to know who looked good or bad in that particular preseason game.
