Ok so they don't want to make any trade imo...
Marc Stein @ESPNSteinLine
Hearing San Antonio, as it copes with an injury crisis, has Iowa's Othyus Jeffers in its sights for 10-day callup from @nbadleague this week
Ok so they don't want to make any trade imo...
Who are they going to cut to make room for this guy? Shipping Decolo for a 2019 2nd rounder?
Still would rather have Singleton for De Colo.
It would be pretty surprising if they waived De Colo/Baynes just to call up a player who will be nothing more than a stop gap solution for a couple of weeks.
His D-League numbers are not bad:

Averaging 11 rebounds per game is pretty impressive for a 6-5 wing player. Too bad that he sucks shooting from 3.
Doesn't make sense to sign a small wing. De Colo may as well play if that's the case, as he's put up decent numbers there. The team should go for size. Trade for Singleton, sign Ebanks or start playing Thomas at the three.
I really hope we don't cut Baynes or Thomas for this scrub. Worst comes to worst, both Thomas and Diaw can spot minutes at the 3. Beli and Gino can take the rest
Nobody from d-league is going to get any minutes, be any help, for any amount of time, but for 2 weeks?
I'm for trying Malcolm at the 3, he's got the speed, hops and size and he's already on the team. Try it for the Hawks game and see how he does...
Well, prove me wrong Jeffers
For more clarity, I've move that to a new thread.
I'm meh on Jeffers. He is a tough player but is short and can't shoot. As I've said in another thread, I would rather see Spurs signing Ebanks.
Like I mentioned in the previous thread - I think this move is just a scapegoat to have someone better fill in the 3 while we look for a bigger trade.
It doesn't make sense to release a D-league player, who just received a fully guaranteed contract, for another D-leaguer to only get a ten day contract.
A SF that can't shoot in this Spurs system? I think FO is losing their mind.
Swapping a D league player that your paying guaranteed money for another just seems kind of silly.
This would be quite dumb. He's already had some issues with the Spurs, isn't very good and is undersized. Not worth losing an asset (NBA skills, plus trade throw in) like De Colo/Baynes for a guy like this. I really hope this is not true.
Also why waste money for another player that Pop wont play? He will play Cojo at the 3 before he even sniffs playing anyone else.
The money is not the issue - the logic is.
Ebanks is 6-9, while Jeffers is 6-5. Jeffers seems more like a pure SG besides his RPG, while Ebanks is a real SF with a lot of athleticism and lateral quickness.
I guess that because the Spurs have spent time with him before their more comfortable with him?
Edit - didn't see that Spurs already waived MT to open up the roster spot. Glad it was not Baynes/De Colo, but still Jeffers makes no sense.
Championship!
I don't think because Kawhi is only out for 3-4 weeks. It means that he will only miss between 11 and 14 games. This period could eb covered by a couple of 10 days contract to Jeffers or another D-Leaguer.
This Move smells more like a panic then anything logical
Jeffers isn't a SG. He is just a short SF. He is short but tough an athletic. It's a player that is averaging 11.4rpg this season in D-league.
Fair enough, but I have a hard time seeing a short SF with his niche being rebounds with no range translate any of those skills to the NBA. So in other words he brings nothing
couldn't malcom thomas have just stepped in? who the is jeffers
Thomas waived...
