It's way closer to true than it is to false. Have you even seen Metta play this season?
So artests brother says he'd like to play in sa?! Cool I guess
Why do you post like an ignorant ? Do you have any better ideas? Jeffers?
Every buyout candidate has looked washed up and finished, tbh..Granger has looked absolutely awful this season, too..Earl Clark is my preference for his athleticism, but he has been terrible this season..they're all low-risk/medium-reward signings..
Granger, Clark and World Peace are 6'8 with large frames(especially the latter) that would be playing PF for the Spurs..Shannon Brown is a PF in a 6'4 SG's body at this point..
People seem to have forgotten how done Diaw looked in Charlotte.. Players who are performing rarely get bought out. People also need to realize whoever the Spurs sign won't even be in the rotation. We're taking about an emergency wing who can give spot minutes at the three and four at most. If any of them performe well enough to get more than the min next year, it'll be a coup.
Boris was a special case tbh, he hated his coach (who broke his consecutive game played streak) and was obese... And he still looked pretty good, was easily the best buyout candidate at the time...
Only Granger falls in the same category imo...
We will end up with the corpse of Jamison. Everyone who has the chance are taking there talents to south beach
They have one roster spot.
he's not being a . this is the exact sentiment of over 80% of spurs talk right now. I feel the same way (that the spurs have got to grab SOMEBODY to shore up before the playoffs), but people are not even being realistic and are wanting players on name recognition that are a s of the player you are even recognizing the name of. Artest and granger of years past are gone. I could see maybe granger pulling a diaw and fitting in and working out, likely not nearly as well as boris but still. I could see MWP being sJax part II.
clark > granger > > > > > > > MWP
I'll take the 6'8 PFs who can actually move and slide their feet pretty quickly.
1. Clark
.......
2. Granger

3. Metta
The thing is, the current pool isn't exactly worth salivating over. At this point of the season, adding a big/experienced forward such as MWP/Granger is really the closest definition of 'solid' Spurs can give.
Honestly, if not for the Buyout Period as of this moment the only players available would be D-Leaguers and some really bad F/A's who were never good in the first place. So with that compe ion in mind, Granger and company seem like gold.
Still, if anyone is expecting whoever San Antonio signs to deliver anything more than 5-10 minutes, They'd be a very wishful thinker.
Earl Clark clears today, correct?
He was waived Friday.....so yeah I'm sure.
Mine:
1. Granger
2. Clark
3. Big Baby
...
9785. Ayres crippled brother
9786. Baynes autistic cousin
9787. Artest
0.00% chance big baby comes here.
That wasn't a prediction list. I'm not sure either of the other two will, either. Imagine THAT meltdown.
This post really sums this free agent window for the Spurs.
Glen Davis commits to Clips. Nice get for them. They definitely improve.
Wonder if there is any interest in Ivan Johnson. Just saw he was born in San Antonio. Can't be worse than Ayres.
he wants to get paid tbh
He's ing crazier than Stephen Jackson. There's a reason his NBA career ended in his 20s and he's playing in China.
James Jones could be waived to open a second one
Possibly, but they didn't even waive RMJ. They traded him into someone's cap exception. Being over the tax threshold, cutting players is EXPENSIVE. You still have to pay the salary AND the tax on that player, and the salary AND the tax on any new player you would want to sign.
The marginal cost of such a maneuver is fairly inexpensive. It's just the pro-rated portion of the league minimum salary plus any associated tax.
