the spurs have a shortage of roster spots available and people think they'll target saraphin?
Just because he's French? I don't think Seraphin is tall enough to play center. He's also the kind of player that seems to get lost in the offense.
I think Baynes is a better enforcer than Ayres. The team needs an enforcer. Spurs have two players that played Rugby and are comfortable with a lot of contact, unfortunately the other player is too small to be an enforcer.
I see daye capable of replacing bonners minutes. Another year in a system helps anyone and everyone. Look how much Patty played this year compared to last and you see how play time gives opportunity to grow. Kyle can definitely fill that spot as well though.
Same with Danny Green.. He was asked to do more this year with the ball in the regular season.. Finals came around and he played a pivotal part with Kawhi in getting us back on top in Miami. His drives and finish were so much better than last year, when he practically had no experience doing it at an NBA level. Got some experience doing it,gained confidence.. and played great in the finals.
People really underestimate how important actual playing time expereince is to growth and confidence.. both of which are necessary to reach potential.
daye was just some guy we brought in to dump nando who was becoming a nuisance. i don't think he's necessarily somebody the spurs really coveted.
Let Day walk imo. Save the money, bring Bonner back for the vet min, re-sign Diaw and Mills, sign another vet SF, and call it an offseason.
thats the scenario i'm a fan of
I think Anderson took Dayes contract the day he was selected and not overseas stash type player..Bring back Diaw,Mills,Bonner, Baynes and the roster is back up to 14 with the addition of Anderson.
Unlike Green and Mills, as a 1st round 15th pick, Daye has been given plenty of playing time during the first 3-1/2 years with Detroit. And he is already 26 and has played 5 seasons in NBA. Nothing is impossible, but I'm very doubtful about him becoming a serious contributor.
Yeah... but that's like saying that Diaw did nothing when he played for the Bobcats.
Certain kinds of players, need a system like the Spurs to play well. Danny Green as an example likely would still be in the D-league if the Spurs did not make him part of the rotation.
Even Patty Mills will be no-where (probably playing pro in China) if he weren't picked up by the Spurs.
Belinelli was bounced around with so many teams (4 teams in 6 years) that one would suspect his ability to contribute.
Baynes was undrafted and never played in the NBA till the Spurs acquired him.
So to claim that he's can't contribute just because he hasn't contributed elsewhere is a bad argument for a Spurs player.
If Anderson and Bertans are part of the Spurs future, what sense does it make to keep Daye? What does Daye do that they can't nor won't be able to learn?
First, if you try to compare Diaw's case with Dayes', we are done with discussion. Since you have no sense at all. People suspected that Diaw might be DONE by then --not whether he is ever good enough for NBA, which is never even a question -- because of being fat or lack of motivation/efforts. He had been playing at near all-star level and had been given contract of $40-50M.
Second, Belinelli has been a contributing player almost everywhere he plays. Not a star, not a starter, but definitely has a role.
And as of Baynes, Daye might be in somewhat similar situation. Even so, Baynes didn't get enough minutes in the Spurs. And let's be honest, his status is still shaky even he is re-signed. So if Daye's best case is Baynes, it does not bode well. While Dyne had been given tons of chances before, and he just didn't get minutes this year by Raptors and Spurs. Whenever a young player gets less and less minutes with multiple teams, it's not a good sign.
Daye joined the Spurs late in the season, just like Baynes joined the Spurs late.
Here's the tell though, Pop let Daye play in several games. That's much better sign that several other Spurs players that never sniffed the court.
Daye did not play a single second in the playoffs. Which of course makes sense since the Spurs need every player on the court to be in sync.
I wonder why there are so many Daye haters when the guy has shown glimpses of potential.
Dayres. The new turd towers.
5...4..3..2..1.gnsf starts new thread about Austin Daye news.
Meh not a fan of keeping him. There's really no purpose considering his roster spot could be used on an MLE player
Thank god, bye Bonner
I like that idea too, but I'd rather see one of those guys we have stashed than bring in another SF. Unless that SF is especially good. Not seeing that happen, though.
If Daye stays, it might be the end of the road for Bonbon is SA.
Well Said, I was thinking the same thing. Right environment and coaching makes all the difference. If every situation was the same, all coaches would be paid the same, and all trainers and assistants would be valued the same and Chip wouldn't be an asset for the spurrs..etc etc.
So many factors into someone reaching their full potential.
We're talking about the 15th spot on the team. Daye is capable of taking that spot with more potential than ?bonner has at this point going forward. Bonner didn't play last year due to injury and barely played in the playoffs. He helped during a couple games, but nothing substantial. That's the only argument.. whether daye is worth a 15th spot that wills see little to no time.. He is. There's better..Bonner might even be better..but he's still worth the spot and has some type of potential.
As far as the over seas guys like bertrans, I'd love to see them come over, but if the Spurs don't see them having the opportunity to see much playing time, it's better for them to keep getting much more playing time abroad where they have a bigger impact and opportunity to experience things.
Baynes is an asset. I couldn't care less about Daye and Bonner.
Spurs To Keep Austin Daye, Guarantee His Deal For 14-15
Jun 30, 2014 8:08 PM EDT
The San Antonio Spurs will keep forward Austin Daye beyond Monday’s contract guarantee deadline, a league source told RealGM.
Acquired in a trade in February, Daye, 26, averaged 4.1 points and 1.4 rebounds in 14 games for the San Antonio Spurs.
The Spurs faced deadline on Daye’s contract, and they could have released his partially guaranteed deal by Monday night.
Daye has averaged 5.4 points and 2.7 rebounds over five NBA seasons. He was a first round pick of the Detroit Pistons in 2009. Yahoo Sports first reported that the Spurs were not expected to release Daye.

i dont get it, but whatever. its the 15th spot. just cements that none of the euro's are coming over. if they bring back mills/diaw/baynes there's only 1 roster spot left, which could go to Bonner or an MLE player
