Ive had it with this FO and POP's flippant remarks, doesn't really seem like they're interested in winning. Feel sorry for you homers, it's a cool board.... I'm gone.
lol I love that the rumored signing of a D-League player has ended a person's fandom forever.
If they do sign this clown I hope he breaks his hand.

I feel this is an alright signing. Don't get what anyone is pissed/disappointed about, it wasn't like Cedric Jackson or Justin Dentmon were any good. This is from the D-League for crying out loud, Given the cir stances I think there could have been much worse candidates.
Though I would have liked to see Thomas get a little more burn, the F/O obviously has an eye we can't view from.
Why is spurfan not a fan of the Spurs?
Spurfan wants to see a move that makes sense.. Waiving a guy to fill a SF position seems desperate when we have bench players who are pretty much in the same mold as D League Jr. so why cut a guy who can learn the system in practice even though he wont be used only to potentially sign some ty guy who won't touch the floor?
The System will prevail even with D-Leaguers. not worried here.
It's not that desperate if you aren't overvaluing the waived player.
And that has nothing to do with your wanting a Spurs player to break his hand.
The front office over valued him by keeping him past the deadline to release him indicating that they saw potential in him only to waive him and pay him for nothing only to sign a guy for a few 10 day contracts to fill no purpose. I'm not saying De Colo is an answer but he's more proven than some D League Jr. guy who hasn't had a taste of the league for quite some time and there is a reason for that. Shows that the front office doesn't really know what they are doing or making significant moves to improve that gap at backup SF.
The guy breaking his hand was pretty extreme.
So you are saying De Colo is your answer.
Brilliant.
The only significant move that would truly improve that gap is a trade, and teams just don't have any real incentive to trade right now.
Spurs need a bone fide NBA player, not some chump to scrimmage with. Where's TMac.
What I'm saying is that same amount of production that is coming from De Colo now is the same we can expect from this potential signing so I don't see the harm of running De Colo out there for a few minutes a game rather than sign this dude for no reason at the expense of throwing money away. A trade would be necessary to fill in that gap, especially for a playoff run, there needs to be that contingency plan in case something like this happens again. We're a month away from the trade deadline and it's not like our trade options are going to change anytime soon so if there is a potential move we might as well just pull the trigger now. I don't see much changing in the NBA in a month that would influence a team to just all of a sudden think, "okay we'll take de colo, bonner and baynes" etc.
Teams don't trade much until the deadline.
Happens every year.
Everyone knows this.
sjax anyone? hehe
Seriously, waive Nando and sign Joe Ingles.
Something not to forget is that Spurs are somewhat in an emergency situation. One of the biggest quality they are looking is immediate availability. The player signed must be able to pay as soon as today against Atlanta. It obviously isn't the case with a NBA vet that hasn't played for months or an overseas player with buyout/visas issues.
It's fully possible that in the next few days Spurs will look at other options to fill that SF hole, talk with some agents and host workouts. For example, a workout with Pietrus might be very interesting to know where he stands physically wise.
indeed, thats why I am thinking Ingles is a good option. He still has an active US work visa, he has an NBA outclause in his contract, and can slot into the second unit playing with guys he has experience with and he probably already knows half the sets, he is 6'8 with 3 point range which suits us and is a passing small forward. He also has experience guarding James and Durant.
I really like the sounds of a Mills, Ginobili, Ingles, Diaw, Baynes, second unit.

I wish we had gone in English in the offseason, if he comes now believe that you can definitely stay in rotation
what a likely scenario...
I highly doubt ingles might leave Maccabi at that time of the year. Even in contracts with out clauses, these clauses are assorted of period where they can be activated. Most of the time, the out period is around Christmas between the Euroleague first and second stage.
In all likelihood, Ingles isn't even a remote option since he isn't available.
Desperation signing. Spurs front office has been a mess this year.
There is no desperation before the trade deadline.
