Good question. They have him for 3 years too.
I really thought he would make an appearance tonight, and maybe take turn guarding nephew, besides that’s why Spurs got him for his defense. Is he in the dog house with Pop? Why bring in this guy and not play him? Anybody knows?
Good question. They have him for 3 years too.
Pop would rather feed minutes to Fake Stallone and the FIBA HOF'er...
Makes no sense why he isn't playing. Possibility is that he's in the doghouse. Either came into camp out of shape or had an argument with another player/coach.
Maybe dealing with an injury?
I’ll bet he pissed off Pop behind the scenes.
Feel like i'm repeating myself now but really weird that he isn't play, let alone starting over Lyles. He was signed to be a 3 and D 3/4 for a team that desperately needed one and he's not even playing. The Lyles experiment is starting to go south; he's a stretch 4 who looks afraid to shoot, its pump fakes and drives the rim only to pass it.
At the very least, bench Beli and have Carroll be the backup to DDR.
2 years, really, the 3rd year is a small guarantee that probably isn't going to be picked up, that assumes that he makes it to year 3 with the Spurs.
Felt like we would've heard something like that. He's been on 8 teams, I haven't heard of any locker room issues regarding him in the past.
Probably would've heard that too, and it would be on the injury report- one would think.
Someone suggested before that it's preferrable to see what Lyles can do before we go with Carroll but to not have him sniff at least 1 minute of action shows he must not be picking up on the system whatsoever in practices or he caused some lockeroom drama. Even Cunningham and Pondexter sniffed some minutes after 4 games into the season last year. It's cause for concern.
Doesn't get minutes against bad teams, doesn't get minutes against good teams.
Maybe he's the new Jackie Butler.
Spurs will have to trade the rights to Milutinov to get off his contract. As Milutinov produces in his rookie year on his way to a fine career, Pop will once again pretend like he's powerless in the organization and remark how trading Milutinov made him sick to his stomach.
he should know the system from Coach Bud in Atlanta ... it is really strange
If he doesn’t get any burn tonight il start to wonder. The lack of playing combined with some of his body language on the sidelines has me wondering if something has gone down behind closed doors.
He's learning the culture.
“His attire is way too flashy. That doesn’t fly around here.”
He ended up being the prized fa this offseason and he’s not even gotten a look this season. Something has to be up
Maybe he told Pop he supports the President? All kidding aside though it's very baffling.
The fact the beat writers are not asking about makes me believe Spurs are not happy with him. Maybe something personal is going on that they do not want out in public.
With any other franchise that would make sense. But Pop has the Spurs’ beat writers so cowed the answer is simple fear. They are too intimidated to ask. I don’t think it is collusion. That would mean that Pop has taken them into his confidence.
Carroll has to play tonight? Right?
That’s why I don’t understand why a lot of people here bash Jabari Young like he was terrible (because of the Kawhi situation) but at least he asked some questions a lot of reporters were afraid to ask. We probably would have been had a question about Carroll. These other reporters don’t want to question anything.
Jabari was just a toadie for different folks: The Group. His was no more reliable than anyone else's. He hasn't worked for a local outlet in a couple of years, but AFAIK, he's still on the Spurs beat for The Athletic, and can be considered one of the non-question asking media types.
The guy is a scrub--who cares.
If Carroll supports Trump, then no wonder the system is too complicated for him.
So you have no issues with the other scrubs currently in the rotation then?
He looked like crap in the preseason. Maybe he's hurt.
