I think you've proven your inability to discuss basketball.
Now you're on about Matt ing Barnes again.

I did it independently.
Where are you guys getting these stats from?
Chris Quinn has played 193 games, started 26. Shoots 40.5% FG & 30.9% from the three . . . career stats.

Edit: Oops! I did not see that this was already covered.
Where does that come from??!!
I was hoping the spurs would sigb de'sean butler or stanley robinsono well luckily this contract is not guarnteed ,but I don't see a real reason for this signing becuase it's not like hill will be out for long. Weird.
and whiter!!!
Don't like the move. Now we only have one Small Forward.
Simmons didn't play SF to begin with. He only played the 4 position.
Lets see how he does.
The Spurs should be fine in terms of outside shooters. For whatever reason, Anderson is almost forgotten as a shooter at this point. Jefferson will soon come crashing back down to earth, but even when he does, I'd be surprised if he doesn't shoot at least his career percentage from three. Throw in Ginobili, Hill, Bonner and Neal and their should be enough there.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.
Ginobili should be fine, even when paired with Hill. They're interchangeable, in terms of handling the point. It's not like last season when Parker was out and Mason was struggling, which led to (when Hill was resting) Ginobili often being paired with Bogans in the back court. That would wear him out. Playing under 30 mpg, playing more with Parker and always playing with another ball handling guard period, shouldn't.
Even in the event he's not fine, it's not going to matter. Quinn is not going to crack the rotation. The times the Spurs use a fourth guard, it'll be Neal.
I think signing Quinn had nothing to do with Hill being out (he'll probably play tomorrow) and was less about Temple being a goner and more about the experiment of turning Temple into a PG having run it's course. If he's to stay full time with the Spurs, he'll probably have to do it as more of a wing defender than anything. He'll still remain an emergency option at point, though.
I don't expect Quinn to last long. I think the Spurs are just flat out auditioning players for their 12th and 13th roster spots and may not settle on them for some time. I wouldn't be surprised if a few more players are brought in over the next few months.
I'd love to see both these guys in SA for 10-days as they seem like good, team-oriented high-reward/low-risk bets.I was hoping the spurs would sigb de'sean butler or stanley robinson
I realize Butler is still injured, but if he's healing on schedule, he should be ready for contact drills by Dec and is capable of being twice the player Gee is. And with Simmons gone, there's a direct need for an athletic utility big like Robinson for the third string. The name is right, too.
Over the last few years the Spurs have tried out marginal players throughout the first half of the season. I don't see any difference here except there could be slightly more of a need in this case with Hill's injury.
1 by 1, all of Pop's pet projects are striking out. Simmons gone. Temple on his way out. I'm guessing Gary Neal will be the next to hit the skids.
Why are you so filled with hate?
still mad about RMJ's departure eh?
Is this question addressing me? Or is this some vain attempt to reach a higher deity?
Why would I ask God this question on a message board?
It's not like he nixed a Tyrus Thomas trade.

Spurs hand Bobby Simmons the pink slip, bring in another point guard
by Andrew A. McNeill
48 Minutes of
Today’s announcement from the San Antonio Spurs is a curious one. Not the part about Bobby Simmons getting waived — that didn’t surprise me much — but that the Spurs signed point guard Chris Quinn. To the press release:
The San Antonio Spurs today announced that they have signed point guard Chris Quinn. Per team policy, terms of the deal are not disclosed. At the same time, the Spurs announced that Bobby Simmons has been placed on waivers.

I like this signing. and I do think it makes a lot of sense to balance the roster.
I also don't expect much from Quinn, he is a 3rd stringer and it would be naive to think he will suddenly be more with the Spurs. but he does add some qualities to the roster. (that's why I use a depth chart with the position our players would play, if you want to use them based on their capabilities)
Quinn is a true PG, most of our guards are SG, who can play some point.
Quinn is smart, he can bring the ball and won't turn it over. never. Pop values that. that's what kept JV on the team. (and not his defense in the first place).
I agree that the Quinn signing and the cutting of Simmons are two different moves. Spurs now even more lack a body at SF/PF. not a 3rd stringer like Quinn, those guys you find via free agency at this point. we need a 2nd stringer, or call it a legit back up. that player we can only get via trade.
I don't think the team is as nervous about the lineup as posters here.
Anderson is the backup SF. That's pretty clear.
There are four active big men and Bonner will make it five when he comes back.
I'd like it if they got someone else, but won't be surprised if they stand pat as far as rotation players go for months.
