Did I stutter? A shooter who has a terrible shooting motion and has been known to choke when it matters. Spurs need a capable backup to run offense and defend larger PGs. I don't see Kevin Martin doing either of those things.

[SupremeGuy]

I'm not sure how I feel about this, tbh. Does dude even have any game left?

[TheDoctor]

Love the move. Let's cut that dribble-dribble-falling-to-the-floor .

[Kikoluna]

Has this been confirmed?

Their backup PG is Manu and always has been. What the Spurs need is a fourth wing that can shoot in the Beli/Neal role and Martin, like it or not, is. As for choking, the team has a few potentially on the roster already so that fear seems redundant.

If this were 2006, Miller would make a great Spur.

I like this signing. Everyone knows Patty isn't a PG and is probably the worst defender on the team. I love Patty but a guy like Miller will be SOOOOOO much better not only running the offense when Manu isn't on the court, but also defending guys like Shaun Livingston. What he lacks in height in that matchup (and matchups like it) he makes up for in girth. Taller PGs will be forced to shoot over Miller from further out. For a backup guard to be signed mid-season like this, I give it a preliminary B+. Kevin Martin makes less sense.

No, all PGs just blow by Miller.

[Slippy]

Nice one. Hopefully has some juice left. Spurs guns need easier set-ups on offense. This guy can do it.

It should be mchallem that gets the c.hop

[Cklbmk]

Ya if its McCallum and Bonner for Martin and Miller its a win. Miller is cool on his own though. I hope Butler isnt gone

There's no guarantee Manu comes back in full strength or condition by the time they need him. I disagree that they need a shooting wing. Butler and Anderson will have to fill that role. The playoff rotations will get shorter and if Manu can't handle the minutes or can't play, they need a backup PG much more than some 4th wing that can SOMETIMES shoot well.

It's woj and the vertical, they usually don't tweet out erroneous

[Spurs9]

Who do they cut that the spurs think hes better than tbh?

[baseline bum]

This is a strange signing. I guess they figure they need more size at the point to match up with Livingston?

If he doesn't then this move is moot and they'd keep McCallum for developmental purposes.

[TD 21]

This is as confusing a signing that I can remember. Miller is a terrible fit. I realize he won't be in the regular rotation, but they'll be a temptation to play him more than he should. If they honestly plan to play him ahead of Mills against the Warriors, they deserve to lose.

I'd have rather stuck with McCallum, who's a serviceable third point guard, that was made out to be worse than he is, because Joseph was overqualified in the role the past season or two.

[phxspurfan]

So.
We will likely cut McCallum, right. So that's a wasted second rounder. GG, PATFO.

McCallum blows

[Shastafarian]

Patty is great but have people who have been watching the games seen him play defense? Or try to run the offense? He's an amazing shooting guard who brings so many intangibles. But he can't guard PGs in this league.

And no, I don't think Andre Miller is that amazing. But he might at least be a respite while Parker and Manu sit.

[Kawhitstorm]

Realistically, he would actually be most useful against Austin Rivers b/c he isn't going to get bullied.

[phxspurfan]

Their backup PG is Manu

Manu is done.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Does Ray McCallum aka Anthony Goldwire get cut here? I think so

[Robz4000]

Manu is done.

Then so are the Spurs.

[Spurs9]

This is a strange signing. I guess they figure they need more size at the point to match up with Livingston?

Think they are going after both?

[rasuo214]

Cut Bonner, give him some sort of internship/coaching gig so he can still stick around.
