Spurs do not plan to waive forward Austin Daye before 11 p.m. tonight, which would guarantee his full $1.603 million for next season.
Boom. Head shot.
Not all that surprising. I figured the Spurs would give him an extended audition. They will need more bodies than ever this season to accommodate rest for the starters/rotation players.
I think Bonner's days as a Spurs are over. Bummer. He was the glue that held it all together.. PATFO OBVIOUSLY don't want to repeat..
So we swapped Bonner for Kyle Anderson and called it an off season. Doubt the spurs even use their exceptions.
He's had like half a year to add mass. Hopefully he's gonna have 10 extra lbs of lean mass by training camp.

It's not your mistake, but isn't it $1.063MM?
Yep, he has already fixed it.
No, Matty coming back, too, I think.
I guess it's possible. Assuming everyone else comes back that would make Matty the 15th guy. Two guys would be regulated to a suit every game. Plus, historically the spurs have liked to keep a spot open on the roster throughout the season.
I agree with you here. Bonner is likely coming back, but likely for the minimum. Spurs still need a stretch 4. (Of course, I would think that both Anderson and Daye could play the stretch 4).
Unfortunately we have Ayres taking up a roster spot.
Boner - mostly makes 3s except in the playoffs, sometimes plays ok defense
Daye - only makes 3s against the worst team in the NBA, lol defense
Can we say bye to both of these guys? And errors too while we're at it?
All wingspan team -
Splitter - C 6'11" - reach 9'1.5"
Duncan - PF 6'11" - unknown
Leonard - SF - 6'7" - reach 8'10"
Daye - SG 6'11" - reach 9'2"
Anderson - PG 6'9" - reach 8'11.5"
Makes sense. There's no downside to keeping both players as available options.
Baynes is worth keeping, big time. I fear that he's gone regardless, and will have a nice career.
2/2 vs The Heat
3/4 vs Denver
.414 from three over 14 games.
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.

Daye is such a liability that even guys you don't think of as low post threats, would do work against him.
I don't mean to come off as anti Daye or the decision to retain him though. I'm just saying, I could have envisioned the scenario whereby they didn't and would have understood why, with Anderson now on board. Again, had they not drafted Anderson, all of this would have been moot and it would have been a no brainer to retain him.
With this decision, I'm back to being skeptical about them retaining Bonner. I could see them valuing the flexibility of an open spot or utilizing it on a spare wing defender.
Spurs just made him a qualifying offer. He more than likely stays. If anyone leaves its Aryes. Spurs could ship him to Philly or Atl for 2nd rounder. Also is speculated that Bonner might be going to the Hawks. But I rather the Spurs keep Bonner and move Ayres.
Keeping Daye is a good thing. He may develop and become an asset in the Spurs system and he could be trade bait at the deadline as well. Considering he has all the intangibles that the Spurs covet, it's no Surprise they decided to keep him this year.
Despite our differences, we can all agree that's a tragedy.
He is going to cry when he doesn't get minutes.
Don't confuse simpletons with facts. I'm sure he high dived himself after his ignorant/uneducated comment.
To all those crying about day. There was a report not to long ago that talked about him working out and having added weight. Up to 225 lbs.
it is amazing how shortsighted some of you are here. Almost like you expect the 15th man on the roster to be a hall of famer?
