Donatas Motiejunas signed with San Antonio Spurs

[Roscoe P. Coltrane]

Jakob Poeltl has so much upside, Pop is trying his hardest not to play him

You got no right to call anyone out, you have the worst player evaluation on this board and I don't think there's a close second. 90% of your posts are about how much you want to shag PATFO and the players, other 10% are about me, your superior.

I'd be willing to bet some money that you're a superior sucker.

I used to think Tiago was an urban legend and didn't really exist as much as he was mentioned in ST and yet I had never seen him. I was proven wrong, though he was never as good as ST made him seem before he got here. I am starting to believe the same thing about DoMo, I am highly dubious I will ever see him in a Spurs jersey this season in a game and if I do I am not sure if he will contribute anything more to the Spurs than say QPon does, which is what exactly? Can't believe this thread is still alive but then again I am resuscitating it with this reply.

Well it's not exactly the same situation.

Splitter was the best (or top3) Center in Europe and people were trying to project how his value would translate in the NBA.
He was a great role player but of course he couldn't live up to the expectations him dominating in Euroleague had created.

D-mo,we have seen in the NBA,he was good,the doubts are coming from what he looks like physically right now and how he will perform,not if he could make it in the league in general.
(Also that fact as well will make the fanbase judge Motiejunas with a more strict at ude cause we know already what he could do 4 years ago)

We're saved.

[TimDunkem]

Is this signing essentially a glorified tryout for next year's roster?

Let's be honest, Pop will not give this guy minutes outside of garbage time unless there is a major injury, foul trouble, or LMA/Bertans/Poeltl are so bad that Pop has no choice. There are only a few games left, ffs.

[John B]

He hurts Curry, he’s worth the money. I don’t mean long term hurt, just bang the guy out.

Warriors can easily sweep us without curry


He would have to break both Durant's and Curry's legs for us to at least win a game that series

We would still lose.

[Seventyniner]

Is your reply purposefully disingenuous?

Actually it was. I should have used blue font, but I thought the joke was obvious.

LMA/Poeltl/Bertans playing bad is a very likely scenario, they have already done it numerous times this season.

[ZeusWillJudge]

Naw. Zeus isn't above some mischief, but most of his posts have some sort of basketball substance. ToyBoat is just an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

I get a little... mischievous when people do things like posting a poll, and then arguing with the responses. If you don't want to hear what people think, don't post a freakin' poll.

I also get mischievous when people want to play like experts without knowing much of anything about the organization and its history. Pop has always been very stingy about giving minutes to rookies. Guys who miss training camp have always had trouble working into his rotations. Rookies who miss training camp? Pretty damned unlikely. Anything can happen, I guess, but don't try to make a longshot sound like a sure thing. I called Atl on it in another thread, and that's what he's got the redass about.

Splitter was a damn good C. He just couldn't stay healthy enough to stay on the floor. When he was right, he was more than a role player. I would kill to have a young, fully healthy Tiago Splitter on this roster.

I guess that's kind of ridiculous, since we never really had a young, fully healthy Tiago Splitter on the roster even back then, except for short stretches.

We should've pushed to bring him over sooner.Wasted 3 years of his prime in Europe tbh

[BackHome]

Don’t even mention Scola

I may just not post for the rest of the day, because I'm not going to say anything better than that right there.

Did you really? I don’t care about your opinion, I want your money! Take the bet since you are all things Spurs Longshot????? It’s just common sense and being able to see past the obvious.....Clown!

[RC_Drunkford]

Could be a nice reclamation project. Low risk too, doesn't move the needle for this team though.

[ace3g]

[Donatas Motiejunas]

This signing is more of a Andre Ingram signs with the Lakers make a wish kind of thing than an actual roster improvement. Pop is not only not gonna play him, he might end up not even speaking a word to him LUL

[ace3g]

How dare he wear Livio Jean-Charles' number...

[Donatas Motiejunas]

How dare he wear Livio Jean-Charles' number...

DMo's number in the NBA used to be 20, but for some reason Spurs didn't let him wear it. If you ask me, DMo could be the best left handed international number 20 player in Spurs history, if given the chance to wear it
