God you are ing dumb. Under neither of those scenarios can the Spurs sign another player, to any type of contract, unless they already have less than 15 signed. Or they waive a player. Or apply for an injury exception (rare, need many many injuries).
Okay. You're right about that (KA/Simmons). I forgot. I'm not paid for this sh** though; so, how about you take an f'ing pill. Just cos your boss or woman is on your ass, don't mean I'm here to take your sh** over some technical garble. A simple correction is sufficient. The other stuff I mentioned is plausible.
^^^^ This.
The Butler signing triggered a full meltdown for Spurtacular.
I'm also right about an injury not providing an open roster spot and about the fact that you're ing dumb.
Not to pile on you, but how can you get all bent out of shape about people's responses when you first typed "come correct son"? If you don't want people talking to you a certain way, don't do it to others.

I want this guy.
Not a good sign for Jimmer. He'll need to play really well to earn his spot now.
Good addition. The plot thickens for the last couple of spots and I like it. Spurs should have done this last year too, instead of staying pat with Daye, Ayers, and Bonner. Compe ion is good. I have said even Bonner needs to show he can still hoop.
For a wing spot compe ion: Deshaun Thomas, Reggie Williams, Rasual Butler, Simmons, Anderson.
For a shooting big for depth: Bonner, Anderson.
Combo guard: Jimmer, McCallum, Simmons (SG).
Anderson and Simmons are versatile. The fact you can legitimately play them in several spots helps them. As backups, being able to fill in adequately for several guys give them sticking power, and the team depth, whereas one of Jimmer or McCallum, and even both will be needed with Tony and Manu aged. There will be minutes at the backup PG and SG spots. I actually see Bonner on the outside looking in, competing for minutes here. Maybe I am the only one who sees this because everyone else takes Bonner as a given, but really, the other guys fill potentially huge needs, whereas Bonner is a shooting big in a team with several shooting bigs who will likely get a lot of playing time. His likelihood of playing is smaller than any of the combo guards and wings cited here. I think its not just about who is better, but who could potentially fill in holes in case of injuries and supply things the teams needs. It may come down to who can shoot better overall, and if several guys shoot well and play well (assuming no one shoots himself out of contention) its going to be what the team needs. IMO, Bonner is a little redundant.
lol m*ltd*wn
I think he'll play practically the same role and spot as Anderson (but can't dribble). That is SF.
There's a big crowd right now at PG and SG - Parker, Mills, McCallum, Fredette, Green, Simmons, Ginobili
dumb ass.
Yeah, you are. Lol indeed...
Do we really need another guy in his late 30s? Oh well, guess we'll see what he can bring to the table at camp.
For a near 40 year old, he still looks athletic. I'd favor him over Bonner and Fredette.
I'd hold off on annointing Simmons. He's yet to prove he can play against NBA-players night in and night out. Scoring big in the summer leagues rarely translates to the NBA regular season.
Yeah, you'd know I'd take him over Bonner at least but we all know Ginger is a made man.
RB will not spread the floor. He'll be guarded by a guard that can get to him and contest his shot while not standing right next to him. Plus, the advantage of a three is generally that they can guard multiple positions. But RB can't guard anyone. Neither can Jimmer. But there's no real advantage of RB over Jimmer.
He looks like he's got more spring than Kobe at this point.
I suspect RB is not a great defender; haven't been following him though. I was surprised that Washington gave this guy 20 mpg a game in 75 games last year though.
Wouldn't hurt his standing if he regained some three prowess. But I think the book is out on him.
Not sure why you think Jimmer is on the hot seat because of the Thomas and Butler signings. Neither are notable ball handlers. If anything, they're pressuring Simmons and Anderson to build upon their excellent summer league showings and if either spit the bit, Butler/Thomas might have their small window of opportunity to crack the rotation. I haven't seen anything in that video that even remotely suggests Butler can do anything better than Simmons. So I'd say it's still a real long shot.
