Jimmer Fredette to the Spurs (Update: Mostly Non-Guaranteed Training Camp Deal)

[Spurtacular]

Why are you obsessed with this particular player? I never saw what all the fuss was about.

Nobody's asking you to fuss about anything.

[ChumpDumper]

Hack analysis.

Spurs would have kept Jimmer if he wanted to toil away in the d-league til a spot opened. Rather, they allowed him to pursue teams with openings on their rosters.

Any team could have called up Jimmer from the Austin Spurs had he gone there.

Meh, carry on then. Keep up the good fight. I suspect Chump will wear you down.

He'll certainly try.

Then the Spurs didn't need to keep him. In fact, they could let him get more minutes if elsewhere if they're loaded in the backcourt as you claim.

The Spurs didn't need to keep them because they didn't want him at all. They could have just waived any other guard had Jimmer been wanted over them.

But they didn't want him just like no other NBA team wanted him.

Nice! Hope Jimmer makes it back to the NBA and lights up SA when they play the Knicks

We've established that your opening statement is not at all a statement of fact. And the Knicks clearly want Jimmer.

I don't blame the Spurs for making their decision; and I doubt Jimmer does. I wish they would have given him more run to really show what he could do. Playing Parker big preseason minutes coming off of international competish didn't make sense to me.

He certainly wasn't kept by the Spurs in any way.

And the Knicks clearly want Jimmer.

No, the New York Knicks clearly do not want Jimmer since they passed on picking up his contract for their open roster spot.

Just like every NBA team passed on taking it.

You'll just have to accept that fact.

Well, if you looked at the article, there is a spot for the taking; and the Knicks used their first round pick on him for a reason. The Knicks apparently want to allow Jimmer to learn their system in the d-league first.

I did look at the article. They didn't care enough to sign him to the 15th spot. They could've easily done that and assigned him if they were that intent on having him reserved for the NBA team. It's just as easy to say they want to sell some seats in the suburbs. The Austin Spurs did it quite a bit.

You may recall that I said that this could be about ticket sales and TV ratings just as much as anything. But I don't think that the 15th spot isn't up for grabs and that Jimmer doesn't have a realistic shot to get it.

[ElNono]

He was drafted by the Westchester Knicks after every NBA team passed on picking up his partially guaranteed contract. He got all the money the Spurs guaranteed him.

You don't get to set-off money that's less than the min.

thanks

Well sure it's up for grabs because it's an open spot. It could be filled by any free agent or D-League player. You just proved it isn't reserved for Jimmer.

I never said it was reserved. But you have Jimmer talking about how it is "planned." I don't think he's that make that up. That does mean that it could be contingent upon his play for Westchester though.

Apparently, Jimmer and the Knicks had talks before the D-League draft; and the Knicks plan on having Jimmer on their roster.

lol

It's good that you're walking back now though.

I haven't walkled a damn thing back.

And your lack of comprehension. What's your point?

You went from "clearly want[ing] Jimmer" and "the Knicks plan on having Jimmer on their roster" to conceding that the open spot could go to any free agent or D-League player and that Jimmer's drafting could just be to sell tickets.

It's OK. You got it right eventually.

I went to what I stated all along. I never said anything was guaranteed.
