He's starting now.
Was Ayon in line for the starting job with NO?
He's starting now.
But he didn't know that when he signed. If the Spurs had injuries to two front court players he would have likely had the same chance. He only started recently do to injuries.
There was no way the Spurs roster would be in flux like that of the Hornets.
No way in .
Feel free to speculate all you like though.
The Hornets got two extra years of control for about $1.5 million. If the Spurs offered Ayon $2 million with a player option, I couldn't imagine he turned that down in favor of the deal he took with the Hornets.
Tough to think the Spurs would offer that unless they were planning on dumping one of the other big men.
I'm just going by Pop saying a few days ago that Tiago didn't get to play much at all last season because there were just no minutes for him. I suspect Ayon would've been warming up benches around the league if he would've signed for us.
Ok. Feel free to be intellectually dishonest. If you would have bumped this when he signed with NO and stated him starting was the reason you'd have a case.
There's nothing intellectual about this re ed conversation.I don't see the Spurs spending MLE money on a guy who wouldn't play and I'm not sure I could see see Ayon's signing for a team that wouldn't play him.If you would have bumped this when he signed with NO and stated him starting was the reason you'd have a case.
Now you can start your alternative timeline where he does sign with the Spurs and starts instead of Blair. It will be intellectually honest, of course.
I never said he would start here. You tried to imply he signed with NO because he could start. I pointed out he couldn't have known that considering he's only starting now because of injuries. You said the Spurs roster wouldn't be in flux like NO's, so do you have proof this was Ayon's thinking?
I pointed out the potential opportunity he had at the time of the signing and what actually happened.
Worked out pretty well for him, didn't it?
So can I see the link on him saying that was his thinking?
Why can't we all just get along.
You can see a link to my speculation.
Do you need a link to that?
Let me know.
Spurs being over the tax might be a reason why Spurs haven't offered him a relatively big contract.
Splitter, Ayon and Pekovic, who were great in Europe, are now doing well in the NBA. I hope it will push Spurs towards trying to sign Lorbek.
Weren't they chasing every free agent small forward available at the time as well?
Definitely.Splitter, Ayon and Pekovic, who were great in Europe, are now doing well in the NBA. I hope it will push Spurs towards trying to sign Lorbek.
If they had signed a FA SF, they would have likely too amnestied RJ and, by consequence, go under the tax.
Spurs being over the tax is certainly the main reason of Spurs apathy on the free agent front this season.
Well sure, but they still would have had to pay RJ on top of any signings. We can only guess what they would have been willing to spend had the amnesty gone forward.
I'm too lazy and ignorant of the new rules to try to produce a number.
Word is the Magic dumped Ayon. Forget Oden and his knees, Spurs should scoop up this guy for the same money assuming he clears waivers.

Ayon would be a solid 4th big off the bench, who could compete with Baynes for minutes. Not saying hes a star or anything. With the Oden and Masgov rumors the Spurs are looking for a big it seems (don't get the reasoning but they seem to be). Ayon is a heady player who plays with balls, and has a nice midrange jumper. I see a lot of Oberto in him. If he clears waivers I don't see why the spurs don't Pursue him with a minimum vet offer.
Ayon >>>>> Mozgov. Always have liked Ayon.
Magic?
