Spurs sign Joffrey Lauvergne

[CGD]

The more I read about this guy the more he sounds like last year's version of David Lee. Not bad.

Our problem with the backcourt is not Manu our the 15 minute men. It's the 25-35 minute men that do nothing great.

[rudwick]

Looks like we're tanking.

[BatManu20]

Are we going to do something about the backcourt?

"No worries, Tony will be back in January"

I'm liking the idea of people suggesting Gay will be played at the 4 more than Kawow's back-up.

So then Anderson is backing up LMA or is he going to be glued to the bench behind Gay where he belongs?

[timtonymanu]

I kinda like this guy. TBH the offseason isn't that bad, just still can't get over Mills and his overpaid contract

Would u rather have hardway jr contract

[TheDoctor]

Does Paul Gracia didn't notice these past playoffs when LMA could not back off his 5 inches smaller defender?

I definitely CAN'T imagine LA in Kanter's place.

One of the least accurate tweets ever tbh.

As someone said earlier if he is replacing Lee Ok but if he is replacing Deadmon this move sucks. Honestly though if Lee is gone that is going to hurt us a lot he did a lot of little things that helped us win games.

[HarlemHeat37]

Not a fan of his game, net negative player wherever he's been, tbh..low-risk, though, and he's only 25..options are limited at this point, I guess..

At least he isn't Joel Anthony

Why would the options be signing Mills or the worst contract of the off season?

[DPG21920]

I don't understand people reading his draft express profiles or posting youtube videos when he's been in the NBA for 3 years?

If you watch basketball outside of the Spurs you would have seen him play against actual nba talent for 3 years now and post poor results on both ends.

So saying "he's actually mobile and I think he can move well" when there is literally 3 years of him not doing that is setting a bad expectation.

Sure, SA will be the best team he's played for in the best system, but it's not like everyone becomes great here (Richard Jefferson, Daye, etc..). We have many examples of both higher level and lower level players not doing much even though they are in SA's system.

It's a min deal for a truly min level player at a position of need depth wise. Hopefully he surprises but let's not act like we don't have 3 years of nba film on the player.

He's solid..

Last paragraph there's a reason they got him for cheap

FA splash of the summer

[John B]

Tell me we're not done yet. Bogut maybe? But I rather we get an athletic big rim protector who can swat out Curry/CP3 and Harden's layups. Or it will be a round robin all day.

It's going to be so odd watching a spurs big actually rolling towards the paint.

Yes. Lee is a way better player.

[Mamuza94]

He and Bertans played on the same Serbian team for a couple of seasons.

And Milutinov too.

I liked him when he was with the French National Team two years ago ... obviously his skill did not translate to the NBA and he sucks ... could be worse at the end of the bench though
