Spurs waive Sam Young

[Biernutz]

The Lakers need a forward , LA will give him a call.

[kobyz]

I think he was worth another chance to prove himself, still is a player who was rotation player on east finals team last year and in his prime...

Please follow him wherever he goes. You both suck

RC must have been putting down vodkas with the Russians and made a late night drunk call

I don't feel bad for these people. They had a shot to make millions, many have, and they didn't do the basic things required to remain usable. We don't feel sorry for people who don't get jobs they interview for, why feel sorry for this clown?

[cjw]

Wasn't he the guy who should have fouled Lebron in game 1 of the ECF when he had the wide open layup at the end (with Hibbert off the floor)?

it's a bummer young didn't work out. i was very optimistic about him. i'm not so optimistic about maggette. if they go with the revolving door 15 spot, it'll make for some interesting threads this year. but...

i think it's starting to look like draft and stash is getting a little outta hand. kawhi needs a backup. manu at 3 is cool, and i think it'll work. and i wouldn't mind some minutes for diaw at 3 when/if manu goes down. but how about a rookie 3 with a niche, to actively groom? during the season, he can ride the pine and take in the system. but right now is prime experience and evaluation time, and it's being spent on a late 20something with low potential. thomas had a good enough summer league. davies, southerland, or anybody in the draft pool woulda been fine.

i don't mind livio pick. i think mitc was worth a shot, but sure livio looks real good down the line. but "come on man" spurs. throw the 2nd rounder into the pool and see if he sinks or swims.

[Seventyniner]

Young bent over for Moscow even more than Kirilenko did. Good riddance.

[TheGreatYacht]

It never hurts to take a look, but he really never should have been brought in in the first place. Can't shoot, pass, or dribble, in addition to being low IQ and lacking confidence.

I still think Maggette has virtually no chance of making the team though. At this point, they'll probably go into the season with 14 and hope someone emerges throughout the season, either in the D-League or Europe.

Obviously, I hope it doesn't happen, but they really deserve for Leonard to be out for a couple of months, for being so negligent in addressing this need. It's inexplicable.

I don't ever wish the Spurs failure but you do have a valid point. I wonder if wasting capspace on Manu's $14.5 M contract and retaining Matt Bonner will come back to bite the FO in the rear.

True. The Pop and Manu apologists didn't feel sorry for Timmy that he didn't get his 5th ring. They were more preoccupied about defending the honor of Pop and Manu so why even care about a scrub like Sam Young.

I'm still not convinced that Manu will cover our hole at the three spot on a permanent basis. Having Manu defend guys that are bigger and stronger than him can be detremental to his health, especially at his age.

Spurs next preseason games will be a b2b so it will give a great opportunity to see the end of the bench players and training camp invite given that most of the rotation players won't play both games.

I do hope Maggette shows he still able to play because otherwise, Spurs are back at square one at the search of a big SF/mobile PF.

One thing I did like about Maggette during the open practice was his passing. He wasn't always looking to score on his drives to the basket.

yeah the spurs shoulda drafted mitc with the first. or at least kept thomas around for the 15 spot. manu is gonna get hurt playing anybody. and diaw is about as good of injury insurance as thomas or mitc would be.

[therealtruth]

Because he is completely finished and not an NBA caliber player anymore even as a deep bench guy.

He couldn't have been more finished than Ginobili was in the Finals.
