I remember that Corey had a calf strain last season and affected his ability to drive to the basket, which was his strong suit. Maybe he hasn't been able to recover from it and has lost that explosiveness he used to drive to the hoop.
Blegh.

It is somewhat the same issue we had with T-Mac since he had lost his shot.
Spurs did the right thing in waiving Maggette... He snubbed us years ago when we wanted him here. Good riddance.. he was only at training camp out of desperation at this point. Payback's a ain't it?
Kabongo was a cut the minute he signed. The plan all along was to have him be an automatic Toro, which happens if you have no existing d-league affiliation and sign with the parent team and are cut.
Magette just had a Sam Young game last night. Sometimes you don't need to see more. I'm sure they saw all they needed to in camp and in practice.
So what do we know about this Fells guy?
Personally I liked what I saw out of him last night, not enough to impress me, but certainly enough to intrigue me.
As for some Baynes criticism I read somewhere above... we must have been watching two completely different games then.
Yeah, Kabongo was always going to the Toros. Cousin will go back there if he stays in the states.
Nwaelele is property of the Santa Cruz team so it makes a little sense to keep him around a bit.
Fells has been out of school for several years ; I don't know all the places he played before last season. It's possible he could be allocated the to Toros as well, but maybe not.
lol magette
lol kabongo
lol cousin
NANDO MAKES THE FKN TEAM. STFU HATERS.
My guess they are trying hard to trade him.
There have been a lot of injuries early on in the preseason, some team might need another warm body.
Hopefully Ayres will step up, which might mean the end of the Matt Bonner era. And Nando would be a great one to stuff into Bonner's suitcase as he's leaving San Antonio. Meanwhile, Cory Joseph has a 2M option that has to be picked up in a month or so. Surely we're not going to pay this kid 2M...please tell me no!
He would have been so much better than RJ here in hindsight but who knows.
Maggette would've been a great a couple years ago.
Yeah, I hope Ayres plays well enough to crack the rotation. I think Bonner is useful in short spurts like in last year's playoffs. It's his contract that sucks tbh.
Not sure how I feel about picking up CJ's option. He still needs to prove he can contribute as a steady and reliable backup PG.
Whoever the Spurs add as the 15th man in the next few weeks and into the early season, I am sure that would be a stop gap action.
The Spurs will most likely target the opening of the trade window post December 15th and maybe even till the waiver deadline in March to get a solid contributor to backup Kawhi. Most likely, they might keep their eyes open for the likes of Trevor Ariza, Vince Carter, and even Shawn Marion and the likes as the Wizards/Mavs and other teams teeter out of playoff contention.
I am not a scout but even I could have told you kabongo was not nba ready. he was barely big 12 ready - just lookin for a quick paycheck like most rick Barnes recruits. An hesis of coach k.
Bonner could be a very nice piece at the trade deadline this year. Hes a guy that can actually play and contribute for a team in the regular season - so hes no total dead weight. But he also is making a decent amount of money (which means we can get something respectable back) and expires at the end of the year. Bonner is a great guy to have this season.
right. I don't see the Spurs sacrifice their 1st round pick, so cap relieve will be the only teaser for a trade. Diaw is the other option, but at this point he is more improtant than Bonner.
considering the fact that Spurs won't take back players with a contract beyond 2015, we need a team that tries to clear cap space for 2014 and has an expendable player with a contract till 2015.
my best guess: Pistons and Jerebko. (contract similar to Bonner till 2015, Pistons just acquired Smith and Datome and also have Singler. Jerebko is the odd man out.) Jerebko might be more of a 4 than a 3, but he can play the 3 and most of all, he can defend the big 3s.
Yea, that all lines up pretty well. The money adds up. The contract years are correct. And he plays the correct position. Plus, it'd be fun to add the Swedish flag to the collection we've got going so far.
