Spurs to sign Sam Young

[Bruno]

[Bruno]

I would say he is in quite decent shape:

Speaking of Sam Young, if you wanted to know what type of shape he is in:

Hmm, does this signal a trade of some of the Spurs' other bench players?

I can't see them committing to 15 roster spots this early.

I'm not surprised at all. Could be another Jim Boylen connection.

Most likely just a training camp roster invite.

No, his contract is likely mostly non-guaranteed and he will fight with other players for that 15th spot during training camp.

Good point on the non-guaranteed contract.

Dude had like 2 fouls 3 turnovers in 2 minutes in playoff game against New York this year He did kill us when he was in Memphis though.

[loveforthegame]

I like it.

Hope he works hard and makes the team.

[Bruno]

And I really like this signing. We will see who else is at training camp but Young will likely be the favorite for that 15th spot especially if he can hit some perimeter shots.

[Leetonidas]

Decent pickup, should be a serviceable backup behind Kawhi for 10-15 minutes a night. Could've done worse

Yeah I'm thinking this too. I'm intrigued by the signing. At least the Spurs have a backup SF for now, though Young wouldn't be my first choice.

Imagine if Blair was still on the team. Pitt reunion.

Now, if he makes the team we can see him throw DeJuan's shot attempts in the stands as a Spur. That was some of the most embarrassing aspects of that loss to Memphis in '11.

Was hoping for a backup 3 with more perimeter scoring and size, but with the slim options available Sam Young is likely their best choice. They could still find some other players that may beat Sam out for the final roster spot. He'll need to play well in camp and during the pre-season.

Would rather have Corey Maggette tbh

[Raven]

i like the signing, he could be a good defender. i don't expect him to contribute at all, but it's good to stockpile defenders.

What's the point of signing a guy to non-guaranteed contract just to fight with other camp invitees for the 15th roster spot? They should have just invited him to camp like all the rest.

I knew they wouldn't go after a player like Peitrus. RC is all about lightning in the bottle and fly pigs rather than proven talent.

[jjktkk]

Like his toughness. Hope he sticks.

All training camp invitees are signed to contracts.

[Dex]

I like it. Not a very flashy signing, but I've liked Young ever since he killed us in that Memphis series.

He is also coming from a system that is structured similarly to the Spurs, and has the connection with Boylen and Pendergraph/Ayers.

Pretty damn good for a 15th spot, considering that spot is usually saved for the Malik Hairstons and James White!s of the league.

He also wears Peak shoes:

Ah, so this thread is a non-issue.

[ChumpDumper]

Ah, so this thread is a non-issue.

It did serve the purpose of exposing your ignorance.

Lol herbalife

[iManu]

Can't shoot free throws.

Spurs material.
