Nice that we have so much time off after the Suns game. Lots of practices for Daye.
It's not all that terrible. When playing for MEM last year, as a SF, he put up a WS/48 of .127. It's fair to say he's shown some flashes. He's not a terrible physical match-up for tall SF's and Perimeter PF's, which has been a position of weakness - especially against shooters. He's also a decent rebounder, 11% Career TRB%, which is decent for a SF (for perspective, PF Matt Bonner, 10.6% career). For Nando, it's a decent filler. Especially if Bruno is right and there is something like a 2nd round pick coming our way...

With the way Mills has been playing, and with CoJo clearly ahead of Nando in the rotation, dumping him for anything was a no brainer. Its not like we had spots at the other guard position, with Green, Marco, Manu occupying those. Not that I think Daye is a stud, but getting rid of a combo guard for a 3 or small ball 4 made sense from a purely positional point of view.
Factor in that they are both expiring, and it's really not that big a deal
Like the trade tbh.... another filler behind Kawhi who we could throw at the 3's of the league. We kinda have some versatility now at the 3 spot with KL, Diaw, Green, Manu, Beli, and now Daye who can be put there.
I'm excited for Nando, tbh, he has a good opportunity in Toronto..
He will have a legit shot to earn the backup PG position, along with more minutes at the backup 2 since Vasquez sucks, tbh..
I may have to attend his first home game and cheer that..
Wonder if there's any chance the Sixers buyout Granger? I doubt it, but if they're in full tank mode they might as well. Spurs would def be interested.
How has Daye not gotten bigger tbh.. 6'11'' and barely 200 lbs is almost unheard of. Even skeletons like John Henson and Anthony Randolph are 220+ at 6'11".
I liked De Colo, fwiw. Too bad it didn't work out. Best of luck to him.
If I recall correctly, Detroit used Daye as the go-to player in a couple of clutch situations. Though, not sure how much that means.. since that was with the Pistons and all lol.
But I like the deal. Daye has shown the ability to hit from outside/mid-range, But that's really all he has going for him. Eh, whatever, at least Nando can shut up.
Daye will finish out the year here and will be replaced by Bertans
spurs did wat they shood of this offseason tbh
Nando isn't an nba caliber player so worst case scenario this trade does nothing for us. Trading Nando for anyone is a no risk trade
Whataburger/Taco Cabana to the rescue
De Colo's agent comments on the trade (in french):
http://www.basketusa.com/news/207803...-de-son-agent/
Nando's agent is saying that there have been talks for many weeks about a trades since his client was buried behind a logjam of guards. 4 or 5 teams, including the Clippers, were interested in De Colo.
Nando hardly played. If Daye sees Ayres type minutes, you'll probably change your tune.
Austin Daye just sucks. This is the rare case where the Spurs making a move is actually depressing and brings no excitement and lowers the overall talent level of the team.
Because DeColo was such a baller?
Ayres + Daye = Turd Towers 2.0
Thisis exactly like the Hill/Kawhi scenario where the Spurs addressed a need from a position of depth...except this time with marginal NBA players.
Will he be available on Friday?
Another poster that doesn't get "it". I have already stated that losing De Colo doesn't hurt the team because of the situation. But the fact is, no matter what the depth, that De Colo is a better talent than Daye. Daye does absolutely nothing for this team and actually somewhat lowers the overall talent ceiling (not that it's relevant).
It's not that De Colo was a "baller". He was better than Daye and Daye sucks. That is all.
The plus is that the Spurs add height, and another SF at least. And we get rid of one of the guards at th end of the bench who wont play anyway. Who knows, maybe with Pop and better players around him, Daye can show some improvement...
De Colo will probably be out of the league in half a year. The guy was nothing special in Europe.
And thank god the Spurs noticed they have too many guards.
Daye probably won't even see a lot of time. Maybe we get lucky with a buyout and won't need him anymore. (if they wanted to go that route I guess)
Possible, but highly unlikely. When I have watched him, it appears to be a lack of skill that hurts him, not setting. He's like Danny Green except a worse shooter and not even close to the defender. His handle is awful, shot is not consistent and he's not a good defender.
But you know how people get frustrated when Danny dribbles or tries to drive in traffic? Imagine that, but not having the defense or shooting to make up for it.
