    ter is so overrated on here lmfao you'd think he was mexican. It's no surprise the defense has been better since he left.

    I didn't watch this guy when he was in OKC. Judging by the clips he seems pretty athletic. Hopefully with good coaching he can become good on the defensive end.

    Spurs will teach him to not dunk. Make him watch endless tape of Rasho and Tiago reverse hook shots.
    basically. And if he wants to dunk and be dominant, his minutes will be cut until he learns to be soft and miss layups

    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.

    What a ing waste of space. Spurs would be better off playing man down than giving this minutes.

    He's still fine for the money. But Pop ed up big time by thinking the third-big could be a min guy. Too many folks don't get that you can't start Pau and LMA and still reliably stagger their minutes. You need a guy to compete with Joff for minutes, because that role will get minutes.

    Was screaming at the TV to just play Anderson at the five, watching Joff try and finish in the paint is painful.

    Forget the fact that people act like he can stretch the floor reliably (he can’t) but any skills he has passing and diving are negated by the fact his defense sucks the majority of the time. He’s a net negative player and his finishing is not quality enough for a dive man.

    His issue is inability to finish when his shots are contested, that's an issue. He has poor touch too.

    He's just a poor player. A total garbage signing.

    The most underrated signing of the off-season. People have such hard-ons for scrubs

    Ya. Joff is exactly the kind of guy that makes one remember the coaching and system without the players talent means squat.

    Do you still think they will be looking at alternatives?

    If they stay in third, I think they will be a decent buyout destination and will likely be receptive to that. I don't know if they'd be willing to cut anyone to make it happen, though.

    Maybe Pop was thinking of going Small Ball with Kawhi and Gay for the playoffs and Kawhi getting hurt was not in his radar. No one gives a about another big after LMA and Pau.

    Maybe not cut but trade, specially if there’s someone they will not bring back (like we strongly suspected they were not going to pay to keep Dedmon, maybe there’s someone like that this year). But maybe they don’t yet know. They went into the season with this problem this isn’t new. So they were ready for this problem arising.

    I have thought Joff himself is kinda in the hot seat but maybe not.

    I had assumed Pop was going small so much that I was shocked Pau started. Having LMA/Pau/Joff at C and Gay/Anderson/Bertans at PF seems better even though I would want Joff even further down the line. But Pop had a chance to go small even with Kawhi hurt, and he still decided to start Pau. I'm not convinced he thinks this big rotation is a problem.

    He's not showing his cards. And the minutes restriction and injuries has forced him into lineups he wouldn't prefer. I could see a lot of small ball in crunch time in the playoffs where Pau doesn't suit us. Unlike using traditional bigs only.

    Would people prefer Dedman or Gay vs the warriors?
