Spurs might have the worst 4th bigs and down in the league. Tim/Tiago/Boris are very solid, but there is not another NBA caliber big on the team.
Lock him back up.

Been saying this all summer. Spurs needed to sign a solid 4th big and a backup SF in the summer. They did neither and rolled with D-League quality players in Ayres, Baynes, DeColo, and Joseph. Bonner was a nice trade chip(partially guaranteed) and they refused to move him. Very, very weak off-season for the front office.
I can almost guarantee you who they will sign this summer. He's tall, light skinned, shoots a ton of 3s, and play for Phoenix.
I would love for them to sign Morrii from PHX tbh..
Don't be obtuse.
I'm not.. a man can dream.
he looks useless.
Baynes experiment shuld be over. I'm not sure who looks more demoralizing to watch, Baynes or Ayres. RC is just a clueless GM.
You want to say that again?
The Spurs should've just kept Blair, probably would've been cheaper at the very least.
I thought he was fine. Your takes are generally but can you specific examples of what he did that says that. I thought his defense was quite good all things considered. His rotations were on time and effective but its hard to play help defense when perimeter players not named Green were offering any resistance.
He passed well out of the post and rebounded well. He did a credible job several times screening away shotblockers on drives to the hoop even if the frenchmen couldn't finish for . I saw a guy that actually competed with their bigs. That is what I saw. What did you see?
That's who I expected Pop to roll with in the playoffs all along anyways (+Bonner on spot minutes). That's why I thought they wouldn't really try to upgrade that position, and they did not.
Then why bring Ayres tbh when you already have Bonner Baynes? Makes no sense..
something to do when bored during the regular season + burn minutes... he was the Blair replacement (just like Belli is the Neal replacement), and Blair basically rode the bench in the playoffs almost every time...
He looked like a D-league slob who was completely overmatched. I can't continue to stick up for a guy that doesn't show any improvement week to week. Between this game and the Nets game, he looked like trash. He did nothing of note in the first half unless you consider turnovers and fouls contributing to the just cause, doing something. Aron's only two scores came with the gae out of reach. It's also where he piled on the majority of his rebounds. Not sure what game you were watching, but he wasn't !ven an upgrade over the much maligned Jeff Ayres. Are you the last Spurstalk poster on his bandwagon, tbh?
He replace Blair? I thought he was suppose to be a defensive stretch 4 that was suppose to replace Bonner in the rotation, eventually making him expendible.
POPS NEXT TNT INTERVIEW:
Craig Sager: "What could your team do to limit the opposing teams rebounding and second chance points?"
POP: "Play better"
Craig Sager: "After seeing Baynes and Ayres play, do you regret not signing someone like Andray Blatche or even keeping Dejuan Blair?"
POP: (pause)......."Don't make me kick your ass and ruin your cheap suit Sager. I'm the only smart ass in these interviews."
Yup a bunch of hyperbole and emotional claptrap. What little substance there was was grandstanding on scoring. If you could not tell the difference between Ayres rotations which each and every time had him hacking and putting people to the line versus Baynes who several times cut off penetration then I do not know what to tell you. I figured Carlessimo offering praise for Baynes rotations would not fall on deaf ears but apparently so.
We shot 50% in the first half. If you think the difference was offensive then you are a fool. As I said most of your takes are .
Damn, not only are your takes horrifically bad in every forum you post in, but you're not funny and very unpleasant. Make a poll to see if people like you. Like it or not, this is a community forum and being a contributing member is a plus. You bring very little insight or humor, so being an annoying isn't exactly a good thing.
and you said I had a DPG thing. seems you were projecting.
If you haven't noticed I am selective in what opinions I value. For example, I don't put much stock in either of yours. Its got you butthurt and following me now but that doesn't call for a poll. The truth is the truth no matter how repugnant.
Generic "following" post. I called you posting after me in that other thread (I haven't checked if you posted or not, or if you showed restraint..) so I have that on you. Plus you were asking about my height and what sports I play, it was kind of weird.
But you are a miserable with nothing positive to bring to the board. But luckily, DPG put you on blast so you'll have 15 minutes of fame. But step out of line again and watch what happens.
Final warning.
*I guarantee you will respond to this because you are too mentally weak to understand when you are being trolled. I won't respond again, like I said, I will probably forget your username and welcome you to the forum as a first time poster tomorrow.
I have an idea dpg. Instead of whining about how I am not nice and how people don't like me how about you quit being a coward and argue the points I make.
What did you think of Baynes defensive rotations? Were they poor? Do you disagree that the major issue for the team was defensively. Did you notice Ayres failure to get his hands up multiple times against drives?
I bet get more whines or another evacuation. How is one supposed to respect that?
Baynes is too old to be like that. The Spurs have the oldest project bigs in the league.
