People had all these same comments about guys like Danny Green, Diaw, and Mills too.
Anyway, likely an agent leak though.
Unbelievable. Same draft that picked Gortat at #57, Monta Ellis at #40 and David Lee at #30.

The hate for Marvin Williams in this thread is incomprehensible. This guy is an über athletic combo forward blessed with incredible talent at the prime of his career. Sure, he put up horrible shooting percentages last season, but that's because he was the 2nd perimeter offensive option on a bad team.
This is EXACTLY what the Spurs need. If R.C. can pull this signing off while still retaining Boris Diaw, Spurs fans should be throwing a second River Parade.
How many roster spots do we have left assuming anderson makes the squad
To be fair, Marvin has only played for the tiest coaches on the tiest teams.
assuming diaw is re-signed also? One.
Our only subtractions are James and Bonner(i'm assuming they dont bring him back)
edit: i was also assuming baynes was brought back.

Anderson's gets two years guaranteed as a first round pick, so he's on the squad.
Right now, 12 players under contract including Mills who won't be able to sign his new contract until July 11th.
3 roster spots left with 3 free agents (Diaw, Baynes, Bonner).
Thought Baynes option was picked up?
They tendered a qualifying offer. He is a restricted free agent.
no, they put a qualifying offer on him.
They made the qualifying offer to Baynes. That just makes him a restricted free agent. They still have to reach a deal.
Edited: OK, so I was slow.
I am corrected. Thank you.
I'm glad I'm getting some support on Marvin Williams now. I think he would be a good signing for us. Of course, the price would need to be right. But hes the right kind of player to fill our needs.
I agree. We need a small forward to back up Leonard and we can't rely on Anderson or Daye. If he comes cheap, then he's a great option. He's had an up and down career but most people haven't seen him bc he's only played on bad teams. He's not an all star, but he's a quality back up if needed.
Well he was drafted at #2, certainly a lot of folks thought he had potential. If the Spurs pick him up, he would be the highest drafted player since Duncan.
The next highest drafted players are Leonard and Daye at #15.
WILLIAMS

SMALL
FORWARD
Well how much is Marvin Williams worth? Is he worth the MLE?
Here is the scouting report 9 years ago:
Is this the same player?Strengths: Elite level athlete, very quick and agile for a player of his size... Can play any position on the floor effectively.. Never out-worked or out-hustled... Doesn’t take plays off... Gives you everything he has whether it’s a high school playoff game or an AAU event... Excellent form on jumper... NBA range... Very effective when facing the hoop as he has a quick first step and utilizes his jabs and fakes to perfection... Court awareness is that of a vet... Finds teammates from anywhere on the court...An excellent passer from any spot on the floor who possesses great knowledge of the game.... At 6-9 he handles like a guard and has excellent touch out to 17 feet.... Great rebounder because of his size and ability to get off the ground quickly... Big game player... Plays his best in the clutch... A quick leaper who plays well above the rim. Has tremendous potential.
Weaknesses: More of a wing/forward at this point... Doesn’t play well with his back to the basket as he hasn’t developed a go-to post move... Must improve strength as he won’t always be able to rely on his athletic ability at the next level... Is a shot blocker but has trouble defending smaller quicker players...As with all young guys not named LeBron or Carmelo, he struggles with consistency....

Thats just sad. Daye was a terrible 1st rounder.
Let's be fair, Williams was drafted ahead of Chris Paul and Deron Williams.
Daye was drafted a head of .... Jeff Teague #19, Taj Gibson #26, Jeff Ayres #31, Blair #36, Danny Green #46, Patty Mills #55. Not a real stellar draft, but Spurs managed to grab some discards like Ayres, Green and Mills. Of course, I'm surprised that Ayres was even at #31!
Belinelli interesting enough is probably the 4th highest picked Spurs player in the draft at #18.
He averaged virtually the same stats as Marvin in college, 11 and 6ish. Both drafted young on potential. Marvin was actually hyped worse, in my opinion, due to his North Carolina ties... And daye, same stuff, Gonzaga was the hot commod. They both were hyped by the media to do big things. Im actually shocked they are both still in the league.
Do you guys really like this guy ?
33% career 3-pointer. Mentally weak. His game completely disappears/shrinks in the playoffs. He has played in the playoffs 5 years and shot below 40%FG four times. Only able to have a 50%TS once. Never had a PER over 13 in the playoffs. If the Spurs wanna a regular season backup forward, they could sign any min scrub in the league.
It's Richard Jefferson all over again ! Don't wanna see the Spurs wasting the MLE on him.
Interesting draft #'s
Duncan - #1
Parker - #28
Ginobili - #57
Splitter - #28
Belineli - #18
Diaw - #21
Green - #46
Leonard - #15
Daye - #15
Baynes - Undrafted
Mills - #55
Bonner - #45
Joseph - #29
Ayres - #31
You just never know, the Spurs might just give RJ a second chance!
Williams is ass
I would love Marvin!
