Austin Daye waived, JaMychal Green to be signed

[Leetonidas]

Austin Daye was trash imho, glad the Spurs finally cut him. He is a shooter who can't shoot for and when given minutes routinely did nothing on the court. This Green dude can't be worse

[KL2]

Thank you lawd, been wanting this to happen.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Well I'm looking forward to seeing JaMychal. Kinda weird that the Spurs waived Daye instead of Ayres since I think JaMychal's and Ayres' games overlap.

[Budkin]

Green has been killing it here in Austin. Great move tbh.

[jARS mEsH sEt]

Dude why does everyone hate Daye? I don't get it. I am a little disappointed with this move, but I don't think it will ruin us obviously. Daye is long, stretches the floor, can create his own shot, and plays serviceable defense. Is he a starter, no. But he is a fringe rotation player. So please tell me what I am not seeing? Where are his monumental shortcomings? Why do spurs fans hate this guy?

He's negative in several advanced stats.

[ceperez]

Oh well, I guess his last good game wasn't good enough.



I think his problem is he doesn't seem to play well within the offense.

[SpurPadre]

More excited that we waived Daye. He wasn't an NBA player. He got his ring anyway.

Yeah, great news. If only we can do this to Bonner or Ayres...

[wildbill2u]

not too surprising,although I thought Daye has more upside potential that Ayers. But I'm glad to get Green because his energy and physical presence can be a plus, assuming of course that his success in Austin shows he can translate these things to the NBA.

After all, D. Green is a D-League alum and we now depend on him a lot. So GO Jamychal! Show us what you got.

[Budkin]

Does this mean Danny Green will have to wear D. Green on his jersey?

[ceperez]

Green showing all the moves, dunks, layups, 3 point shooting, blocks, mid range shots:

[T Park]

Jamychl Green reminds you a little of draymond green in he has the athleticism plus a developing shot out to the three point line.

Hope he develops

[PingPong]

So, Jamychal Green is the #2 player in the DLeague. What it means to NBA? Or even far, to the Spurs? Well, he will be a 15th player, nothing more.

[Mugen]

YES.

Check this out, ridiculous dunk, two 3 pointers from the corner.... no wonder the Spurs had to sign him.

[spurtech09]

no disrespect .....goodbye daye ...... o JaMychal.....

[spurtech09]

hope theres a chance JaMychal gets some playing time

[spurtech09]

Danny Green and JaMychal Green= Money$$$$$$$

[KL2]

Damn, I didn't know he could knock down shots from outside like that, that's sick. If he can knock those down, he's going to be a huge help, he can even play backup SF.

[exstatic]

Thank God. Daye was so ing terrible.

[SnakeBoy]

I had high hopes the Spurs could develop Daye but he's failed to make significant improvement in any aspect of the game. Green has made steady improvement so I like this move. Hopefully if Green does well it will allow KA to spend some time in Austin getting the playing time he desperately needs to move forward.

[Chinook]

Think its inevitable considering how Baynes and Ayres are unrestricted this upcoming summer. One or both won't be back. That's where Green makes sense.

Baynes is still an RFA.

[MaNu4Tres]

Baynes is still an RFA.

My mistake. Still doesn't really change things. Highly highly unlikely both Ayres and Baynes will be back next year. That's where Green makes sense.

[JohnnyMax]

His athleticism might come into good use against OKC

Both will probably be sent back to Austin now that everyone else is relatively healthy. Unless either show rotation worthiness as a combo forward for this season there's no reason to have them just sit on the bench all season.
