Can he rebound?? lol
http://www.thescore.com/news/1092273
As I've touched on in multiple threads -- Forbes, Arci, Garino and now Lapro all were signed to training camp/sweetened D-League deals. It's been wise for Spurs to leave that 15th spot open in hopes of a buy out of a player like Landry.
Seems like he's been underrated for most of his career.
He'd be a solid 4th-5th big in the rotation and he'd compete with Lee & Anderson for minutes at the PF.
Even though he's similar player to David West -- if he chooses to come to SA, I wouldn't mind.

Not interested.
Would be a fantastic fourth big over Lee.
He's not bad. I always kinda Spurs-lusted over him when he was in Houston and Sactown. Wish he was younger but he's got a solid all around game. I always signed him in franchise mode on 2k when he was available haha
No way
Agreed
3yrs ago..... Yes!!! Now.... not so much.

Agree that he'll help someone. Hear Rockets, Spurs, Lakers, Pacers among those interested. No #Twolves, as of now.
I might disagree with you based upon overall effectiveness. I like Landry's rebounding, defense for his size, and scoring savvy but for my money, Lee is a better all-around offensive player - scoring, rebounding, and assists.

Wanted him BADLY when he was on the Rockets, but I'm not big on him now, naturally. But for the right price I guess it couldn't hurt.
Sounds like a good problem to have- having both. If Dedmon can be a reliable back-up to Pau. Having Lee and Landry sounds like some depth to me.
But Lee is a center nowadays, whereas Landry can still play PF. Lee only really fits next to LMA, but Landry can play with anyone. I'd pick Lee over Landry as a fifth big, but for the rotation, more range is needed.
Maybe, but I don't see it that way. As long as Lee can set up in the high or low post, screen, and hit mid-range, he's fine as a 4 or 5 in the Spurs' offense. Defensively, David is just so-so defending 5s as well as more mobile 4s. As long as he can learn the team defensive rotations, he won't hurt them too much. D West struggled with picking that up, so not everyone is a quick study on the Spurs' rules. I do like Landry, though, if he is truly being considered by the Spurs.
With the signings of all those medium size guards and SFs, you have to wonder if the Spurs braintrust has decided to go more smallball next year. So do we need a lot more depth at front line?
?
I think they do and I'd like to think they aren't going to go heavy with the small ball minutes with it looking like we might have a front line to be reckoned with. For me it's always a the story of making our foes match up with us sometimes. I'm thinking they don't want a repeat of what happened against OKC....we never even made to GSW.
He doesn't hit the midrange that's the problem. Just doesn't. I think he only took something like 15 shots from that area all season? Yea Lee midrange ain't happening. You might as well ask that if Livio. (I m not exaggerating so much either).
Landry is a solid offensive rebounder, but a terrible defensive one and a sub par overall defender.
In a vacuum, I'd have preferred him to Lee, if only because his superior range would have made for a cleaner fit on the bench. But with Lee in tow, I'd pass. Trying to keep one of these types from complaining about their role is enough.
I'd also rather keep a spot open for flexibility purposes, since this is a roster that could potentially use one more of a variety of things.
Lee is neither a power forward or a center, he's a power forward (defensively) and a center (offensively).
Depending on the match-up, he can fit next to Gasol, too.
Landry would be a poor fit next to Aldridge primarily because of the lack of a roll man.
If you think Lee playing center is a good idea then might as well open up a layup line when he's the last line of defense.(I'm assuming that you aren't suggesting that LMA play center while Pau/Dedmon play together)
Mirotic started alongside Pau so Lee shouldn't be any worse against backups w/ Pau protecting the rim.
Landry is essentially a more athletic but much inferior team defender version of D-Worst.
He had many good games against the Spurs. Not a bad pick up if he can still board and play.
would take thomas robinson over him.
Ain't happening. Dude has serious ego issues and was a pariah for the Nets who didn't resign him and still remains out there bc no one wants his ego coupled with his lack of skill.
Landry seems redundant of Lee. Don't think he couldn't help the team, it's just idk if I want him to have a roster spot over one of the young guys.
