The "or all three" should have been your sarcasm detection clue....
Just Bonner and Ayres. Diaw is very valuable as he is a versatile player. Where as Bonner only shoots 3's and Ayres is only good for confusing the other team, b/c even he doesn't know what he is doing.

All 3 are free agents. I think he was referring to that aspect not necessarily the on court part.
Ayres is not a free agent.
He will replace Tim and Manu. Kawhi will be a of a backup.
Ayres-out, Daye's Inn.
Hard to judge, based on this opposition, but I like what I see. Forget the shooting, I'm more impressed by everything else he did.
Lot of upside with this kid
"Oh great. Just what the Spurs needed. Another really good bench player picked up for nothing from another team. There may have been some doubt before as to how many games they would win the finals in. Now that number certainly is four.
Who is this great bench player? Jeff Ayres of course!
Hold on. Wait. Mixed up my notecards again. Frickin' archaic technology. Okay. Here we are. Austin Daye!
I'm surprised too. After a promising start with the Pistons, Daye has fallen off the earth and floated to the Kuiper Belt. He didn't do anything at all with the Raptors, despite the excitement of Raptors fans when they acquired him. I was excited too; the concept of a 6-10 stick-figure shooting guard is intriguing. And up until now he hasn't done anything with the Spurs either. I think maybe he's hit one shot for them. (basketball-reference proves me wrong again. It's two.)
I know, I know. It's the 76ers. Any stats ac ulated against them shouldn't really count. But they do. And Austin ac ulated 22 points and 6 (wide open) threes in his first major action in forever. Next step: ac ulate some goddamn milkshakes or protein bars. Holy crap.

I figured he was talking potential wise....
Get the out of this thread, you miser tbh
I would say he's more built for the backup 4 than Jeff Ayres.
Manu Ginobili
Patty Mills
Marco Belinelli
Austin Daye
Boris Diaw
It's crazy how good that bench lineup is at passing and shooting the 3. I would say Daye's length gives him the defensive advantage over Ayres.
If Bonner really cared about this team, he'd release Pop's family out of ransom and step aside to let Daye take his spot in the playoffs.
Unlike Bonner, Daye is able to make his shot even with someone in front of him. He was covered in his first two shots.
Going to be a very big asset for special situations in the playoffs.
This is what the Spurs missed for so long when Robert Horry left. Someone to nail the 3 when covered.
You can't tell me Pop's didnt get hard after seeing that. But you gotta remember, in the Spurs system you tend to get alotta open looks. That's why Marco is having is best shoot yr of his career! Daye just happen to be 6'10.
I love this thread
His defense, quickness and court awareness were really something. Was at this sorry game, and people were getting excited about the new guy! Certainly he is better than bonner.
Daye is the perfect asset to have against the Thunder. He has the length and athleticism to do an adequate job of frustrating Durant. He also has 6 fouls to burn, Leonard and Beli to be able to use their fouls in a more frugal manner.
I wanna play with Daye on 2k14. My tall line up would be
Ginobili
Green
Leonard
Daye
Duncan! That line up for those who play with the Heat an put Wade at pg. An for the Thunder too!
Bench would go like this.
Parker
Marco
Diaw
Ayers
Splitter. My record is 108wins an 30 losses. No quits. If I see im bout to lose I play with my vench to get better with them. Daye on 2k14, who do I need to email??
I don't know about that. Thad Young blew by him a couple times last night...Daye would have a REALLY hard time staying with Durant. , that's not even an easy guard for Kawhi.
I mean, I'd rather have Daye guarding him than Belinelli...but that's not saying much. In the playoffs, it'd be best for Kawhi or Green to be on Durant at all times, or at least as much as possible.
Durant is going to get his, that is obvious.....but Daye has 6 fouls to waste.....Kawhi does not. I would use Daye in the first half for a few minutes to spell Kawhi, also a little bit in the 3rd. Then, in the 4th, Kawhi has no foul trouble and can be all up in Durant's grill.
