    Do you think the Spurs are going to commit to finding JIMMER looks? Meaning are the Spurs going to treat him differently than any other shooter? I don't think so. Fredette hasn't been spotting up at his usual distance, which is why he's gotten like two spot-up shots off so far in the pre-season. It's one thing for him to be able to shot off broken coverage (like that Kawhi play you keep mentioning). It's another for him to shoot out of the half-court with normal rotations.
    No, that's not the plan for Jimmer at all, at least it isn't what I would have in mind. My thought all along would be that they used Jimmer as a smarter version of Gary Neal, to hopefully become Patty or Marco .5 versions. I would assume that POP wants Jimmer to commit to finding himself looks, and knocking them down. But, it looks as if Jimmer won't make it/is playing scared.

    Glad Tony is sitting this one out. Hopefully a bench player will emerge.

    Jimmer has been tentative about launching his shots; but he also hasn't played with great line-ups. I don't think Pop is going to make rash decisions based upon a few preseason games. Jimmer will settle into the system.

    I have also been very intrigued by this development, Pop could just be experimenting to see how well Butler does. MAtt has rarely played and always in the best lineups and those lineups with him have not done well. In comparison BUtler has been in less favourable lineups and has contributed enough to be a plus with those guys. If you switch one with the other in Butler's lineups I am nit sure Bonner would have done as well.

    The other guys have been sent to the wolves to sink or swim in whatever lineup, Bonner has not. It leads me to believe he's safe bc he is so beloved that he will only be cut if they really need his spot. Does anyone in the motley crew bump Bonner out?
    Hard to tell if Bonner will be cut. He's obviously under different rules that every other border-line Spur. May not seem to matter how bad he has played in the off-season.

    Why would Bonner be cut? Spurs would not have signed him through Dec. plus if they had any significant intentions to maybe cut him before then. He's not going anywhere for the Rasual Butlers of the world.

    Bonner is not a guy who needs much preseason reps. He stays ready to play his limited regular season minutes and plays hard in practice as such.

    I don't see him getting cut, but he needs to shoot the 3 at a respectable rate. He just doesn't add anything else at this point. I don't expect him to play much either, but rest being awarded to Tim and possible injuries being around, there is a chance he could be needed to play a few games for some minutes here or there. He doesn't rebound and doesn't defend well at this stage, he's not a skilled passer. Like I said, I don't think he gets cut this early either, but he may be gone if they need his spot (to the front office, to the coaching staff, take your pick). He needs to contribute something.

    Perhaps, PATFO shares some of your concerns; hence the only partial guaranteed money. They'll be evaluating and make a decision in December or so.

    I liked Jimmer, but it's obvious he is not making this roster. Two DNPs in the preseason. That's pretty much saying all that needs to be said. If you are a Jimmer fan, you better grab your Rockets tickets in the preseason, because that's the last chance you are going to see him in the NBA for at least the next year. Europe may do him well. He will get minutes to work on his game. I think he'll succeed over there. He's a great shooter, but he just doesn't have a well-rounded game.

    I would say that he is cut based on the DNP today.

    So what is the deal, if he does get cut, with salary and how that affects SA and who they keep/pay?

    Cant believe that Spurs paid money for Bonner, McCallum, Anderson, so many others.

    You guys are nuts. Pop just rests his core guys. He did the same with Aldrdige, Duncan, Ginobili, Parker, and Diaw. You can't burn Fredette out in meaningless preseason games.

    So this is what my phone autocorrects to when I try to type Jimmer. Perfect.
