There's one two way contract that's available. I've got no idea why Huestis wasn't just signed for that. There is no way (being injured) that he can compete for the 15th spot. It's up to Pondexter to lose.
Not necessarily saying that Crawford can create shots for others but outside of derozan is there really anybody on the team that you could say is a playmaker?? The jury’s still out on Derrick White, I like him but he’s got to prove it first. At least Crawford is typically a big shot maker, plus him and Murray are close, it would be good for dejounte to have his mentor on the team while he rehabs.
I would think waiving him while injured would give him the full NBA salary but I don't know about these new fangled contracts.
Speaking of Crawford, just checked Hoopshype.com, & according to them, "there were rumblings of a possible paring with free agent, guard, Jaml Crawford, but those talks did not gain traction." Hmmm... wonder what is up with that? PATFO doing their due diligence? It's weird that Huestis is signed to a exhibit 10 contract, with an injury as he has, but again, I guess they see something in him, especially in his defensive skills. Not holding my breath on this, but things just seems to revolve in & out just like a turnstyle at a subway station! Any who, GSG!!!
I prefer Josh Howard
I think starting lineup will consist of DD, Mills, Gay, and LMA. I just don't know which way Pop will go at PF/C.
So this is what it feels like to be the Charlotte Hornets...
i wouldn’t mind putting Huestis here with his help defense. Just that people says he can’t shoot.
" I officially became a member of the spurs organization" ... what's that supposed to mean? It's like he has a long term deal and not an exhibit 10 contract that lasts a few days.
Spurs didn't have anything up on that board or paper that will make them look dumb like Vlade or Orlando did they?
Since he's injured it most likely means he's signed for the year since he'd probably get paid for the year if waived. Makes no sense to sign him if they don't plan on his being here after he's recovered.
From Netsdaily.com
There are 50 players who have signed a contract with the Exhibit 10, a new type of deal in the most recent collective bargaining agreement (CBA).
A player who is signed to a contract with an Exhibit 10 will receive a bonus up to $50,000 if he signs a contract with the team's G League affiliate upon being waived from the parent club.
However, there is a catch. A player waived by Oct. 17 must report to his G League affiliate by Oct. 20 and remain there for at least 60 days to receive the bonus (in addition to the G League salary). Unlike last season, when a team would incur a salary-cap hit for players with partially guaranteed money who were eventually waived at the end of training camp, an NBA team will not have a cap charge for the bonus money awarded.
A player signed with an Exhibit 10 can also be converted to a two-way contract by the first day of the regular season. The bonus would then be rescinded and the two-way contract would apply.
Fatterhead? lol
Thanks for clarifying that up. The SA media and press has been awful about their coverage this season. I don't care about Kawhi anymore (old news) yet they were still asking Murray about that.
I cared to know what was going on with the camp invitees and they did a very poor job informing fans or rather not even reporting about this dudes status.
I guess he'll rehab that injury and stay in Austin I got not trouble or concern with that.
If he's going to Austin, then only a two-way contract will lock him up for San Antonio. Signing Austin still allows him to called-up by anyone.
There didn’t seem to be any great demand for his services when healthy. Doubt he gets poached while in a cast.
I think you protest too much.
That’s just, like, your opinion, man.
I think the Spurs will take their chances not protecting a player in a cast for the next 6-12 weeks, depending.
Is it possible that Huestis was injured while working out informally with the Spurs, and this is their way of doing "right" by him? I am really struggling to make any sense of this signing. Lose two guys to injury and then immediately sign another injured player as a replacement...?
Hmmm... just read an article from The Sporting News that the Spurs DO NOT plan to sign or go after a PG due to Murray's injury. So, it sounds like Huestis could be it with the signings? But due to Murray's season ending injury, I wonder if the Spurs can fill the roster spot with another player, if so, could Q-Pon be added, or perhaps another player they already have on the camp roster? GSG!!!
Pop can run with Derozan/White/Mills as pg, so ok
I don't know what's going on. Back in September, he got a camp invite:
Hard to tell if Blossomgame being waived has anything to do with this. What's weird is how quick they were to waive Blossomgame after Murray was lost.
Doesn't make sense to get the exhibit 10 twice!
I suspect he's been promised at least the two-way contract or the 15th spot.
It's just weird to sign an injured player.
Wasn't there a photo/photos posted of Huestis with other Spurs at the Spurs' facility even before the camp invite?
