Alex Abrines is dealing with a “personal issue”. I doubt he signs with anyone this year. We still have Ex-Thunder Josh Huestis on the D League. I wonder how he is doing with his development. He had potential as a wing defender.
It makes you wonder what the personal issues are that have beset him. Maybe the company of a fellow Spaniard could help...

At this point I don't even think Pop will pick up a player off the buyout market. He loves Pondexter too much, cause he makes people laugh, comes early and stays late.
That’s why your team is on a 4 game losing streak now.
So comedy and basketball don't mix, lol. I know I get your point players can get to relaxed if the snake don't bite once in awhile.
Spoiler Alert: We aren't buying .
The damage is already done. No one can come in and save this team. There’s only 2 ways this season can end: first round annihilation by the Warriors or barely missing the playoffs.
Doesn't mention anything about him being bought out by March 1st but you can only assume if he asked for a trade - team might grant him that wish via buyout.

I can fap to this.
Leave it to the Spurs to not trade Pau and then turn around and waive him to sign with a contender from the East Spurs Gonna Spurs
Lol he hasn't been an underdog since he was with the Jazz like somebody in the thread said, he's playing for his next contract and Indy gives him the best chance to make his stats look pretty.
lol no signee will improve the trash defense
Corey Brewer would.
Corey Brewer would, indeed, make the defense better. Would you have the stones to move him into the starting lineup to play alongside LMA and Gay, and try to stop this dumpster fire defense? DeRozan might put up enough points playing against second units to make him a net positive. Brewer still gets a LOT of steals - would Pop let him play and disrupt, or would he try and force him into a now-nonexistent system?
Even with Brewer's help on D, you do know that without White, the best they would be looking at is still a first round exit? And from what I've heard about White's injury, I think the Spurs would be stupid to bring him back this year for that. Plantar fasciitis is nothing to screw around with, and White had an actual fascia tear in October. And make no mistake - after a fascia tear in October, and then going down with fasciitis a few months later, it will take months for him to be fully healed.If they bring him back without it fully healed, it will be the final sign that this team needs a front office enema.
good news lakers and portland L....
didnt he sign with the kings?
Yes, but just a 10-day contract.
I don't know if Pop would insert him in the starting lineup, but if he did, I don't think he has to replace DeRozan. Brewer can play 2 or 3. Brewer has shown he is good at any role and believe me Harden definitely doesn't want to see him in a playoff series. Brewer would give Pop the ability to stagger minutes between White and Gay (our best perimeter defenders). Plus with Brewer, Spurs could go small (the right way) in crunch time. Imagine lineups of: White, Brewer, DeRozan, Gay, Aldridge. Plus you still have Bertans/Beli for floor spacing.
Like last game, Kings go with a 10 man rotation and Brewer is only newly acquired to not play. Hopefully he is let go after his first 10-day with Kings.

No, I understand. I was specifically thinking about a starting rotation without DDR, for the defense. And maybe getting DeRozan out of his funk by letting him run wild on opposing 2nd units. I don't know of DeRozan's ego would allow for that, even if it was spun as a Manu-like role. The Spurs can put up enough points. They have to be able to stop the avalanches by getting some stops, if they're going to avoid a late season slide. I don't know how they do that with DDR on the floor and White off the floor.
I'd like it even better if White was in the mix. But I wasn't just being snarky about bringing him back this season. It's a really serious risk. After a fascia tear and another fasciitis flare up within about four months, I think it would be irresponsible to bring him back - as much as I'd like to see him playing. I don't even want to talk about the fallout if he develops a chronic condition, after all the talk about Kawhi not getting proper treatment (true or not). As far as I'm concerned, the Spurs should be planning the rest of this season as if White isn't here, so Brewer's versatile D would probably be as good as they are likely to be able to pull off.
Maybe the timing will work where Gasol get a buyout opening a roster spot for Corey Brewer after his 10-day is over with the Kings.
