Eddie or Jimmerdoesn't matter to me who gets the last spot, we just need a sharpshooter.
Wrong. They are actually friends. Jimmer invited Kawhi to play in his PRE-NBA game the summer they were drafted. And Kawhi played in it. There's no bad blood there.
Eddie or Jimmer
I hope it's a real game, as practices are closed to the public and I haven't seen anything like that since two girls one cup.Why would he be guarding Kawhi in practice?
Ray McCallum is a free-agent next year. Spurs need a backup PG for 2016-2017.... sign Jimmer up for 2 years!!
Charlotte Diaw
I don't think Spurs did anything to develop Diaw's game, he just needed to play with smarter players.
He's already 26? Geez, I always assumed he was closer to Kawhi's age.
Made him lose weight and helped him lose his timidness on offense he used to have
I mean it can't hurt when Manu misses his usual 1/3 of the season and Simmons/Anderson have to take over Manu's spot.
Wow... looking like a legitmate bust! Perfect Spur, Spurs need a new reclamation project!!
Butler is 25 going on 26 soon, and Parsons is 26.. Kawhi was pretty young compared to others in his draft class
People on SpursTalk expecting the 14th/15th man to be an excellent shooter, athletic, AND a great defender all while playing of the minimum.
PATFO is good, but they aren't THAT good.
I agree, this seems like a move to replace Beli's shootings. Simmons and Jimmer will likely battle for that last wing spot in the rotation. I'd have to give the advantage to Simmons at the moment, but can't say I've seen Jimmer much outside of the highlights shown here which show he obviously has range.
Jonathan Simmons is 25 and will turn 26 before the season starts.
I also lean towards Eddie over Jimmer. At least Eddie has decent size/athleticism, and he's still a lights out shooter.
Don't really care that much either way. Our main rotation is already set providing at least one of KA/Simmons proves they're ready to be a rotation player this year.
But is he over himself?
It's funny. A slashing SF that can defend and shoot 3s costs around 90 million. How does Spur fan think we get that type of player (who isn't even on the market) at the league minimum? Our back up SF is hopefully Anderson, at least that is the Spurs' plan.

Well I mentioned Kawhi because Jimmer and KL have a history together. I always assumed Jimmer was 23 or 24 for that reason. They just have a 2 year difference though in the grand scheme of things. I don't know why the gap seems larger.
200 pages incoming.
Yeah they should just make this a "Live" thread.
Spurs are already set at SF. You have Kawhi, Simmons, Manu, and KA that all can play SF. Spurs need another shooter. McCallum isn't exactly known for his 3 pt shot, Jimmer is. I think the Spurs should sign Eddie to the D League and develop him another year like they did Simmons.
Would love for Jimmer to be Eddie's size. I'd take him on a multiyear deal, but he probably doesn't do a whole lot for the team this season.
People that see Jimmer as a one dimensional shooter have never really seen him play.He can handle, shoot, and create.He’s not Steve Nash, but he is a good drive and kick player.He also can run the pick and roll and is a deadly midrange shooter.He’s not just a camp out at the three point line and hope to get a pass.He’s better all around than Eddie.
so i guess he's the marco replacement. smaller, but hard to be a worse defender anyway. might actually be a good thing, sometimes pop threw marco at tall wing scorers, no way he'd actually try that with jimmer
I really want to retain Eddie though
