Haynes: Quincy Pondexter has reached an agreement on a one-year deal with the San Antonio Spurs

[BatManu20]

[TD 21]

I don't mind taking a look at him in training camp and if he shows signs of life (after looking finished last season), signing him to a partial guarantee and having him as the 13th man until early January, when 10 day contracts come into play and a decision has to be made. But if the following is true, then it's another non-sensical move . . .

will have an opportunity to compete for rotational minutes and also serve as a veteran leader for the Spurs' young core.

[exstatic]

30 years old
6'6
bad knee
used to be ok on defense... not so sure now
has a killer mid range.... lacks 3s

could be used for a good bench warmer

His career 3G% is 36, and he shot 43 one year on 3.8 atts/game.

The Spurs should never acquire a player they don't think has a chance at a rotation spot. That goes double for a vet. All the quote suggests is that PATFO aren't set in their top 10 players. That's only healthy. If they really wanted to lock Quincy in, they would not have bothered to get that partial guarantee. I have him as less of a lock than Jimmer was a couple of years ago.

Hope so...if he makes the team, this team is really in bad straits.

So stupid... this front office...

So you're saying the Pondexter thread won't reach 300 pages?

[Dverde]

Why no 4 or 5 position player! Makes no sense.

It'd be some real if we got some Pon fans in here as passionate as Spurt and his cohort were.

4 Gay, Bertans, Cunningham
5 Aldridge, Gasol, Poeltl, Eubanks

They can stand to bring in another PF or combo-forward, but they aren't exactly hurting at that position right now. SF is easily the weaker position.

Quincy Pondexter sucks and is washed up. The team needs to be looking for young, hungry, untapped talent not a guy with a bum knee, that is undersized and got cut by the Chicago Bulls.

Spurs need wings/SFs not PF/Cs

Endorsed!

[TimDunkem]

Old.
Washed up.
Can't shoot.
Bad knees.

Should fit right in.

he never shot 43% from 3 for a season. those were his numbers for half a season after getting traded to new orleans. he shot 37% for that season.

and then he missed the entire 15-16 and 16-17 seasons to injury.

then he came back and couldn't buy a bucket this past season

Yeah, it was more cliché and perfunctory than I initially gave it credit for. The reality is, he's probably a long shot to make the roster, let alone earn rotational minutes.

Hopefully they bring in some younger wings to compete with him for a spot. I'd rather take a flier on someone like Anthony Brown (struggled over parts of 3 seasons, but only 762 career minutes) than a reclamation project.

Plenty of other teams to support. You probably don't even realize he isn't a guarantee.

Brown would be an interesting player with his combination of size and length. I was also on the Quincy Acy train. Hopefully the team signs Dangubic and Blossomgame to deals as well. They went into the 2011-2012 pre-season with guys like James Anderson and De'Sean Butler competing with Green for two-guard minutes. They had Joseph and DeColo and still added Mills to compete for the backup PG spot. I see nothing wrong with giving Pon a chance. But they need to scattershot this. The advent of two-way contracts and them still having d-league dibs in their pocket means they can afford to invest in a number of players and let them sort it out in camp.

[Holden_Caulfield]

lol we get a 3 & D guy who can barely play D because hes old and not really a threat at the 3.

i miss danny already

[superbigtime]

Didn't know this chump was still in the keague. wtf is this crap and why today

[anon]

Just Derozen's sparring buddy to make him look good in camp. 10th or 11th man during the actual season.
