LJC to remain in France for 2015-16

[TheDoctor]

Exactly!

We can't have our only true center be a 40 year old who is paradoxically the greatest power forward ever.

Don't you think the Front Office knows that? They'll take care of.

[cjw]

Or could this simply be because they need to fit someone on the roster on a minimum contract and every dollar matters (i.e., don't want his first round cap hit to reduce money for Duncan)?

[Maddog]

Not a surprise
His offensive skills are horrendous. He really needs to be able to at least do at least one thing competently Not sure what this means as far as the Spurs rights to him.

[LiSpurs516]

Would rather have him in the states where at least we could control his playing time in Austin.

Btw whats up guys, been lurking for a few years now and joined now with the mods back approving everyone. Didn't think i needed my own thread to say o.

I was thinking some of that, too, that Lalanne might be cheaper, a smidge.

[tav1]

I'm hoping for Withey and Bonner.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

He had some really great defensive plays so far in the SL, but its obvious that his offensive game is far behind is defense right now. Another year of development barring injury will hopefully allow him to do more than put-backs and layups.

The thing is that under Tony Parker LJC is ed. Tony Parker may have been a great player but when it comes to teach and camaraderie outside the Big3 and Boris he sucks big time. He's a me first type of player. Remember when in 2013 Danny was torching the Heat and Tony decided to express PUBLICLY his take on Miami's defense when he said "I can't believe he's still open at this moment in the series". I mean, WTF?!?

THEN, this past Playoffs he took more or less the same at ude when he talked about how the Spurs were Kawhi's team that he should start looking for Kawhi to blah blah blah and what happened? Those last 3 games Kawhi disappeared while he began to dominate the ball. That was no coincidence.

[KL2]

I'd like to see at least 1 SL guy make the roster, Lala or Bert, preferably Lala.

Not sure Parker coaches his France team. I thought he worked full time for he spurs?

Obviously he does not coach the team. But whatever input LJC might need to make the team surely wont come from Enrique. To the contrary, Tony will talk to the compe ion and tell them how to play LJC.

Translation: didn't want to be called a " got" at least a few times

[Em-City]

this guy is like a poor man's rookie version of Aminu at this stage - i don't think he's quite ready for a team looking to make a championship run. maybe if he'd had a year here already to get used to the pace of the game he could have been an end-of-bench defender to mix it up with the elite SF/PFs, but at this stage if we get to the business end of the season, kawhi should be able to handle the big minutes himself.

Basically.

Your jokes are kind of stale tbh, but I'll just add it's been reported I think that ljc has a spurs coach check on him. He's just too raw to have coaching make a difference.

Oh, get it. I suppose you are one of Tony's vigilantes. It's ok to be on denial. It's your personal choice.

And to get injured.

Sounds legit.

y poster with his y post of the day...

Yup, ball huggers support each other.

Tell us all how tony Parker personally influences LJC's goals and development.

Cite your sources. Let's hear everything you have to say. I want the full story. The world needs to know.

There's no need to personally attack other posters. Just stick to what you know.

The Spurs have been reaching on first round Euros (especially bigs) since Mahinmi. Most could have been had in the second round.

Mahinmi, LJC, Milutinov, none of them were first round picks in most mock drafts.

Splitter, on the other hand, was a concensus first round pick in the mocks for a reason (as was Parker).

Bottom line, I wouldn't hold my breath on Mulutinov -- he's no Splitter (at most a lesser Rasho).
