    He can't even do good in a summer league.

    Forget these overseas softies lately, just draft players like Thomas who have a heart and can actually play in a summer league to see what they can bring! Joseph as well! When was the last time one of those softies worked for us? The last great pick we had was Leonard, once again American players!

    The fact that DeColo complained about playing time got him off to a bad start. We've seen what happens in the past when players such as Malik Rose, Dejuan Blair, and Stephen Jackson complain about playing time. I knew this guy wasn't a good fit the minute he started bitc*ing about playing time last season. His comments such as "I didn't come to America to sit on the bench..." clearly demonstrates his iness. People like that have too much of an ego and usually don't fit well with the Spurs. FO is better off getting rid of him and use as an asset to a S&T. I may be too quick to judge but I'm really not surprised at his performance so far in the SL. He really didn't do anything impressive last season IMO.

    For real though, Nando was billed as a "mini-Manu", but he has all of the worst parts, it seems. He whines (I'm sure he's still upset at the whole "I wanted to get ready for the national team" issue), has great court vision but can't complete the play, has confidence in his shot but can't make them.
    Actually, the current Manu - the one from the NBA Finals - is a better player than what I've seen from Nando so far. That is not a complement at all. Very sad.

    Nando wants a roster spot without having to actually work for it. The difference between him and Joseph is evident. Joseph is wiling to play in summer league, D-league, and whereever the Spurs want him too. The kid just wants to get better and prove himself. Nando hasn't addressed any of his weaknesses nor tried to get better in any area of his game. Seems like he is trying to emulate Manu's style of play rather than making his own way. I really feel for him because I know he has some talent where he can contribute but he just doesn't have the heart needed to be a Spur much less make another NBA roster. He needs to go back to France and maybe get humbled and then come back when he is grateful for his opportunities.

    The TRUTH is not subjective to OPINION. The TRUTH does not become so by popular opinion. It just IS.

    You know people have no argument when they start using ad hominem personal attacks like calling others "trolls". Pretty pathetic deflections, tbh.

    He's already 26. More than likely there's no coming back for him if he decides to return to Europe.

    And this is coming from TheGreatYacht and we all know how he felt about Manu's Finals performance.

    Are you Nando's agent? The truth so far is that Nando's completely underwhelmed against D-League and Summer League level scrubs. If he can't play well against lower level compe ion, then what makes you think that he can play at the highest level in the world?

    Ad hominem attacks FTW. If you don't have anything to argue with me against, just make up personal attacks.

    Your truth is very subjective and is viewed through rose-colored glasses. You were doing well earlier, as it was funny. When a troll gets defensive, it becomes tiresome.

    Considering Pops unwillingness to drop dead weight from his roster, would not be surprised to see Nando again suiting up this year and getting more minutes than Joseph.

    The truth is the truth. It is not subjective; it's objective. I don't have a "version" of the truth. There is one and only one truth. You are the one producing lies.
