Spurs 2018 offseason thread

I hope we sign Jamal Crawford now tbh, Derrick white can take the starting nod at PG, Jamal would play well with the second unit, lots of passing and scoring

I don't think any of them make the 15. But someone has to make the second two-way spot. I see Blossom leading that pack, at least among guys from camp. They still need camp bodies, though, so White and Pon have roles to play soaking up minutes.

I suspect they keep Johnson to the end of pre-season. They need a guard and Pop inserted him against Houston before any of the other scrubs.

Spurs aren't going to grab another guy unless he's familiar with the system. What happened to Hanlan? Is Brando Paul still available?

I can imagine the kind of scrambling the Spurs are doing now.

[SAGirl]

Though now that I think about it, Didn't the Spurs only have 19 guys on their camp roster before this? I don't think they needed to waive Blossomgame to sign anyone, but waiving him might be their way to announcing there's no longer any compe ion over the last spot. I doubt Okaro White is getting the two-way at this point. If the team legit signs a PG to the big roster, then Blossom's versatility makes more sense next to Eubanks.

Just thought about this: haven’t the Spurs lost the exclusive rights to Blossomgame. I think he can sign anywhere right now. Maybe he has something else lined up.

Maybe they just didn't think he was worth a roster spot.

Spurs are known for waiving players so they can sign elsewhere. Not unlikely since the preseason isn't even over. Why bother waiving the player unless he requested it.

Exactly. Spurs are giving him away bc they have more pressing needs now. Blossom will go to another team he can actually help, while we free up more roster spots for Othyus Jeffers

[Dverde]

Jamal Crawford anyone? He’s still out unsigned

Would rather talk Manu out of retirement tbh. Manu can at least handle the ball.

A team of Crawford, DeRozan, Gay, Aldridge....

The thought of that is so ing stupid that Drunkford might go for it.

I got no idea what the Spurs will do. How ironic is it that we were heavy in guards and we here wanted Mills gone for a SF like Carroll ffs, and now we are scouring the free agent market for pg turds. Vet PG's are wanted and the decent ones a gone. There are little true PG's coming out of college and so all the true pgs are far to old to play at a NBA standard. I just think the Spurs will use DD as the PG with Mills/Forbes as the SG, with White as a backup. Gay and Beli will handle SF, with Bertans and Cunningham playing the combo forward role. Gasol will play the Marc/Jokic playmaking role in the second unit.

DD/White
Mills/Fobes
Gay/Beli/Cunningham
Bertans/Poeltl
LMA/Gasol

[YGWHI]

I guess we need a list of point guards still available

Honestly makes the most sense.

[SpaceCoast Spursfan]

Anyone have a good source for available PGs.... Not sure who is available, but obviously the list will be pretty pathetic. A few washed up vets like Chalmers, Lawson(not sure), the Halan guys that is always on summer league team, Tyler Ennis, can't think of many

Looks good to me, considering. But they still need to pick up somebody bc one of those guards gets so much as a stomach flu and you don't have anyone. It's probably why Blossomgame was waived. They may add a guard as a 2 way deal. But having a vet to come in when the team is short on bodies wouldn't be a bad idea either.

[BackHome]

Well that’s means more minutes for Metu and White sink or swim guys. It is Ok I am OK with a ty record this season just as long as Deroz and White and Metu can ball I’ll be a happy camper.

Until December, yeah. I think we might carry 14 and sign 10 day contracts if the stomach flu hits.

How much is White that much worse than Murray? White at least isn't a liability in offense. He's not an elite defender like Murray, but they are at least the same size.

Have you not followed the pre season? Murray was a clear top 4 player on the team, only being outshined by Gay, DD, and LMA. White has been one of the worst guards on the roster.

This is true but also White has shown flashes there's always a chance that he just needs some time to get comfortable with playing in the NBA and he'll definitely have that opportunity. His skillset says that he can score and he tries hard on defense.
