2014 Spurs Summer League Thread

[Johnny RIngo]

Jackie Butler vs Ayers in a poll of who people consider as the bigger salary waste might be interesting.

$2,200,000 - Butler 2007 salary
$1,750,000 - Ayres 2014 salary

Both were pretty terrible. SA using MLE money on Ayres was pretty embarrassing when he probably could have been had with the vet min. But Butler wins this pretty easily due to Spurs losing Scola because of him.

I wonder if the Spurs staff is killing the team in practice, almost every missed jumper has been short.

I wondered the same thing. I didn't expect the worst aspect of Daye's game to be his shooting.

[littlecoyotecoin]

Ime's insistence on playing Ayers is adversely affecting my mood.

I am sure he is operating under the directive from higher ups. They obviously sent Daye and Ayres to play, for whatever reason.

[littlecoyotecoin]

I found a good Pic of Ayers holding a basketball....

I feel bad for laughing.

I wonder if anyone wants CoJo so bad, that they will take Errors with him.

[Richie]

I wouldn't give up CoJo just to be rid of Ayres. Just waive him if we have to.

[MeloHype]

So Wiggins made Anderson his ?

[Baam]

Daye and Ayres shouldn't play anymore, run everything through Anderson and surround him with scorers like Thomas tbh instead of these black holes...

[Mal]

I still think CoJo is going to be traded. If Cotton plays like , he`ll probably stick around until Mills is back.

Why would Joseph be traded? He's clearly still better than Cotton, and Pop's going to roll three deep at PG not counting Mills. He values points too much

[Vic Petro]

Joseph is the backup PG. He cannot be traded.

[look_at_g_shred]

Anyone else liking the play of Morris?

[Obstructed_View]

It's really ed up that the SL package by Samsung is five bucks on NBA.com and it's fifteen bucks on my Samsung phone. I thought it was supposed to be free online this year. Sucks that I missed the game.

[BatManu20]

Just now watching today's game cause I was watch the WC earlier. God Ayers is so awful. There's no hope. He's just not a good basketball player in any ways.

[DPG21920]

In looking at the two games so far (it's early and obviously hard to evaluate) I am not impressed with anyone. Green's game today was very nice, but there are still some of the same questions persisting that have kept him from the NBA so far (shooting). Other than that, Kyle's concerns from before the draft still loom large (speed, defense, shooting) and no one has had anywhere close to a Gary Neal type performance with a skill that you can bank on other than Green's shot blocking/athleticism IMO.

Still early and they are adjusting.

[BackHome]

By all means, look at one game instead of 14 games where he shot 41% from behind the arc. By your reckoning, Steve Kerr can't shoot. He went 2-12 one time from 3. Instead of making a bolded statement to show the conviction in your mathematics, how about a wager? I say that Daye shoots closer to 41% for the regular season from the 3 point line this year than he does to 17%, which is what he shot tonight, from the three point line. We take his regular season 3 point percentage, find the two differences, whichever is greater, loses. Let's make something good out of your irrational thoughts and feelings, namely profit for myself.

OK two games combined 8 for 29 for Austin Daye.

You're getting there. Keep going.

[FireMicoHalili]

Man you'd think Daye would at least make up for the first game. He plays well, doesn't matter because it's the SL. He plays badly, everyone's on his case. What are we fighting for exactly

[emanueldavidginobili]

its so sad that Daye and Ayers are that bad in a Summer league. They both have been in the league for 5 years they should be dominating these kids. Im not worried about KA I think he will play good when he's on the court with 4 other good players and in a system. Right now he's playing with scrubs I think his game will flourish when he's sorrounded by good players that understand the game. KA is a perfect fit for the Spurs.

Also, if we get to count summer league games, do we get to count warm-ups, practice, and training camp, too? He is not shooting well, and may not improve, but I am patient enough to allow those that are working with him on a daily basis make that determination. You're not a day-trader, by any chance?

Yeah, when he destroyed the Sixers, it didn't count because they weren't good enough compe ion. He goes into a shooting slump in a couple summer league games and it's proof positive. He can't win at this point, really. He'll have to play well for several games in the regular season to wash even a little of the stink off.

5 years of failure isn't day trading. That's called a capital loss.

If one game was all it took then Darius Washington would still be our back-up PG.

Cuts both ways buddy, if Daye has a great game, it kind of proves your point. SL just really a showcase of what they can possibly offer. Daye has his whole career to prove he can shoot.
