Woj: Spurs Waive Ray McCallum

[TheDoctor]

Does some of you really thought Ray would be in Spurs' future plans?

[elemento]

I could see DET claiming him.

Honestly I didn't know what to think of Ray, I never saw him play. But that spoke volumes in and of itself.

Where you have been dude? He played in 31 games (started 3 of them) this season. Most of them blowouts. Run of the mill 3rd string PG with non existent playmaking abilities.

[Chinook]

Not surprising. Probably now means they'll be more likely to draft a PG prospect to develop as the third stringer.

God, I hope so.

[T Park]

He has video evidence of Pop starring in a German fetish flick and will leak it if they ever get rid of him.

Get over it or delete your account. You're acting like a petulant 8 year old.

damn you're right...it really wasn't memorable at all, feels like i only saw him play a total of 50 mins tops

that says it all right there

Good luck to Ray.

I don´t see the shock, he was clearly not there defensively and Pop didn´t grow to trust him as he has been a very end of the bench player.

Probably it was pop lack on confidence in him (over his actual skills or iq) that lead to him cutting Ray.

It is evident that Miller is nothing more than a insurance move in case that one of our PG´s is unable to play. Will probably be cut at the end of the season and Ray may come back, but most likely we will draft a PG.

Nothing to fuzz about, and it doesn´t make us any better or worse, and unless some of our PG cannot play for whatever reason Miller won´t see court time (as did Ray).

Wait and see who gets cut after the Martin thing is finalized. They still haven't bought him out yet, but they will inevitably... and from there we have to choose between Anderson/Simmons/Bonner/Butler to sacrifice. I would sacrifice Anderson, honestly, because I see potential in Simmons, and Butler is solid on defense... but Butler might be the most redundant with Martin, however.

Anderson?

[ceperez]

I still laugh that people thought McCallum was a steal and would somehow be equivalent to Corey Joseph on the open market.

That's what RC thought... but over half a season of play tells you that he can't run the offense.

People are acting like he's the second coming of CoJo. Joseph is 10x the player Ray will ever be.

Anderson?

Right, no chance he's cut. He fails to remember that Anderson's contract is guaranteed at over $2 million next season. Simply is not happening.

It's Bonner or Butler. I'd go 70% Bonner / 30% Butler.

Bonner will go over Anderson...Kyle's not going anywhere.

If anyone is next to go it has to be Matty B, does he even dress out for games anymore?

UNT eagle thinks we're cutting Kyle Anderson? ROFLROLF

Great point!

[Beaverfuzz]

I think you're delusional to be comparing yourself to Jimmer or any NBA player, tbh.

The reason anyone has a hard time filling the Kerr role is that Kerr did one thing; and he did it probably better than anyone in NBA history; made wide open threes. He looked to make a couple in fifteen to twenty minutes; and he was allowed to do that consistently. That's pretty rare, tbh.

Well remember, he could ball at aTM but he chose UNT instead.

He's not the smartest cookie in the jar.

[K...]

people saying that Cojo>Ray forget that Cojo was a three year project and ray was in year one.

the only sad thing is that this resets the pg padawan process. But restarting it with a higher ceiling player isn't the worse, next year could be a scrap transition year anyway if duncan and manu retire, we are in it to win this year; this is probably the best move

McCallum was picked up in reaction to losing Cojo.

Spurs however have discovered that Anderson is a viable playmaker and Simmons is a viable defensive wing. Furthermore, Spurs discovered that McCallum can't run plays and can never figure that out. So they go out and "rent" another playmaker.

What is perplexing is that Spurs are loading with playmakers... so there's got to be more to this signing.

Spurs are going to post up defending guards like Curry ... that's the game plan... you can' defend against him, so you might a well as have him work on defense. Spurs are using the regular season to practice posting up.

If you can't win shooting 3's, you might as well win by posting up!!!

Given the Spurs system, the Spurs don't need playmakers (and they don't have as many as you seem to think).

What the Spurs need are primary ball handlers, and there are only two on the current roster: Tony and Manu. None of the other players can be trusted with bringing the ball up the court.

The Spurs signed Miller as back-up primary ball-handler, and that's still a job he can do with his eyes closed at age 40.

Yeah, Miller's 9th all time in career assists. I'm all for this signing.

It was just a joke. No need to be overly sensitive about it...like an 8 year old. Look, I know you like to target me whenever I post something you don't like, especially in regards to Bonner, but I know you're a good Spurs fan with good takes. I have no beef with you.

[Spurtacular]

lol "swindled" for a second rounder. So dramatic.

The real swindle was made by Corpse Jimmer's agent.

Is that the same agent that gave the Spurs David West for $1.5 million? Yea, what a swindler.
