Pop announces Spurs have waived G/F Bobby Simmons, signed G Chris Quinn. Quinn played w/ Nets last season, spent camp in Philly. #spurs
Wow
Say what?
WOW
i was not expecting that so soon
Great we just got smaller. Awesome.
Signed another small (6-2) guard? Why?
i don't like, Simmons played some good defense vs Griffin
ummm... Chris Quinn? srsly?
Probably a short-term signing while Hill is out?
Yes I would guess short term Pg backup because Temple kind of regressed?
Weird I thought Simmons might still have something to contribute at the PF position...
FWIW, I think this shows how high the Spurs are on James Anderson who would be the sole and primary option off the bench at SF for the Spurs. Also, the bad play of Temple in the preseason and early this season has obviously been a point of concern.
Pure speculation but maybe Simmons wanted PT or something?
I like it. I was just about to respond to a mountainballer post that I, which usually seems to be the case, was in agreement with.
Quinn's a capable point and a marksman from deep. The Spurs aren't overloaded with dead eye shooters and Hill's been used more as a 2, ceding playmaking responsibilities to Ginobili more often than not -- playing big minutes at the point isn't conducive to keeping an older Ginobili fresh.
I'mon this move.

wtf? Chris who ?
Well, that means they don't trust Temple at all ?
It seems to be the Pop way.
If you get sent down to play for the Toros team you can probably figure your on death row, because you're never going to land a spot on the team and to add insult to injury you'll get to watch nba outcasts like Bogans & Quinn get signed to contracts instead of you.
Speaking of Hairston & Jerrels btw.
Bobby Simmons getting waived isn't too much of a surprise. Barely getting any minutes with Bonner out wasn't a good sign. And now that he's basically a power forward, being the sixth big behind Duncan, Blair, Splitter, McDyess and Bonner made him expendable.
But Chris Quinn? Not a big fan. He can shoot the ball but that's about it. Gives effort on D and decent ball-handler and passer ... but overall a not too interesting prospect with a low ceiling.
Signing Quinn could be a sign that Temple is a goner (either to Austin or the waiver wire). Temple has been pretty damn horrible so perhaps the Spurs view Quinn as a player who can step in right away and backup Parker while Hill is out. Quinn could step in and be better than Temple just due to being a better shooter and ballhandler.
Speaking of Hill, signing Quinn might or might not mean that Hill could be out a little longer than expected.
Definitely makes you wonder what's cooking considering Bonner is out, as well. Damn thin up front suddenly. Trade/acquisition in the works?
Why the didn't Pop keep Jerrels then?I like it. I was just about to respond to a mountainballer post that I, which usually seems to be the case, was in agreement with.

I'm
lol pop still thinkn of small ball roster lame...
Chris Quinn has a "Mix."
wow...chris quinn....is from the same town as me....dublin, ohio....bad signing though....could be a temporary move coz of hill's injury....i wonder who will the spurs sign when hill is back and quin is released
This would be Quinn's 5th season yet he has played only 19 games total? hmmm...
If this is what is needed why not jerrells?
