Ouch!!! This really sucks.
Hopefully this doesn't interfere with his rapping career
Green moves to the 3 and Neal starts. Prob rotate some 10 day contract SFs.
I shutter to think what LeBron/Gay/Durant are going to do to us in this stretch.

I think 10 day contracts start only in January
probably broke it on purpose to promote his album, tbh
nbth
I know this doesn't make up for the deficiencies 100% but Kenyon is sill out thee. I know he can't guard the same guys but he offers toughness. Either way it obv sux.
Didn't know that, thanks for the info SB.
Signing Witherspoon has to be a real possibility right now.
Other vets who are free agents who could help out: Mickael Pietrus, Mo Evans, Gary Forbes, Ryan Gomes ... and our good friend James Anderson.
I've never been high on Pietrus but you can't beat the price now. Evans is prototypical fringe SF that won't kill your team. Forbes and Gomes have a bit of a higher ceiling. Anderson at least knows the plays.
The minutes are going to be there for Nando. i hope he takes advantage of it.
The other thing is it will force us to play KL big minutes coming off an injury that could become chronic if he comes back too quickly or overworks before he's 100 percent. Spurs are always cautious, even overly cautious, but there will be a temptation to play soon. And as a young guy KL may feel he needs to "suck it up" and keep quiet if it starts bothering him again, when in the big picture he needs to do the exact opposite.
if Witherspoon plays amazing (HUGE if) it makes Jackson tradeable no?
I like Witherspoon and Evans
Wouldn't mind seeing James Anderson being brought in. Knows the system and could play a few good minutes off the bench.
. I'm going to the Spurs-Rockets game on December 28th (39 days from now). I hope Jack is back by then. That would be 5 weeks and 4 days...
On the upside, Spurs are well versed in dealing with key injuries. Manu's broken hand seemed like a death-knell last season and ended up being a blessing in disguise.
Pietrus is the best of the bunch IMO but i'd prefer more minutes for Nando with Green/Kawhi/Ginobili holding down the SF spot.
Thankfully, there are a lot of cheap swingman vets on the market. If the Spurs need one to soak up some minutes, they have options.
Pietrus is pretty damn bad (and dumb) but he can shoot threes and play D. I know a lot of Spurs fans considered him the second coming not that long ago, so he'd be a popular signing.
Anderson is pretty intriguing. He pretty much sucks but he'd be seamless. Evans lives in San Antonio and plays with the other Spurs in the offseason, so he'd be able to step right in. And then there is Witherspoon who looked capable in preseason.
Hmm.
Son of a .
Pop goes with:
PG TP
SG Neal
SF Green
PF Blair
C Duncan
.. to start the second half. Pretty damn small ... but they don't have much of a choice.
.
forgot about Pietrus, always been a fan; another name going around is Derrick Brown
Pietrus
Witherspoon
Brown
Wilkerson
That would be my order
I would imagine Witherspoon as he somewhat knows the offense; this blows..
You forgot about Richardson. Not that I think they'll go with him or Pietrus, because those are the types you sign for the remainder of the season and I don't see them doing that. Gomes' best position is probably as a small ball PF, Forbes is all O, no D and Evans is undersized and probably washed up. I think they'll go with either Anderson or Witherspoon.
They got what they deserved. Hopefully one of these years they figure out that you need to be at least three deep at every position and stop trying to get away with a lack of depth at the same positions year in, year out.
@ Q Rich being an NBA player
He's no less of one than the vast majority you mentioned, genius. I'm not saying he necessarily deserves to be signed for the remainder of the season, but if he signs anywhere, he will be (look no further than Howard).
The Spurs definitely got what they deserved. They played with fire and they got burned.
Spurs actually had depth at SF up until now...
Yes, because on paper Kawhi and Jack weren't enough depth at SF. Need three starters per position, not two.
Wow
