The Olde Town Pub of Dominick Barlow

I think it came down to Mamu or Dom and Mamu has shown more. I was high on Barlow, but he's too small to be a C and not good enough of a shooter to be a PF.

Pretty surprising decision imo

Must simply be a matter of them really believing in Bassey. Barlow was only 20 years old all of last season. Was better than Collins for a solid amount of his time while still not fully even knowing what he was doing out there. Was also crushing gleague as a 20 year old which isn’t nothing.

If we brought on some intriguing center i could buy moving off of him, but that’s not the case. I’m all for churning the bottom of the roster but a 20 yo who held his own in big league minutes who is a mobile defensive big is probably worth keeping around. He has more promise than blake and Malaki at their respective positions

They did try him out at PF alongside Vic and it didn’t go so well, maybe that’s why? But if that’s the case I’d expect them to waive Bassey as well

Yeah, he really needed to be able to play the four.

Once again more concerned wit their reputation than retaining talent.

Yes, you don't want to cause issues with agents over minimal players and given his lack of overall size for a C, he's still more likely than not to remain a fringe player.

But he's a possible rotational, small ball C in the making and the backup C position (like most) is in shambles. That should take precedent over doing people favors.

OMG, the Spurs cut their fourth string center! PATFO sucks!

OMG, someone criticized the Spurs front office (the most intelligent, infallible people in the history of western civilization)! Off with their head!

I liked Barlow quite a bit. He seems to have quite a bit to potential still. Good at ude, decent skill set. He’s not going to be an all star or something like that, but he will be a good decent 7th or 8th man. Some other team will benefit as I think he will be a good piece for a decent team.

You had them tendering an offer to Duke Jr.? I thought he'dbe the odd man out.

Says there could be interest from the Spurs to sign Barlow in free agency, I hope we do. He was improving rapidly and if he adds a consistent 3-point shot he'd be very valuable.

Barlow may have to sign a 2 way deal to stick around. Spurs making RFA offers to Mamu and Duke leaves no regular roster spots if those 2 are retained.

And that’s assuming both Graham and Osman are gone which seems a solid bet.

Edit: I believe I included a regular contract for Ingram rather than a 2 way deal either of which seems possible.

He's very mobile for a guy his height/size. Had some great games in GLeague or whereever he was. I always thought he could make a good SF

He’s not even perimeter skilled enough to play the 4. Forget about the 3 spot.

I agree that Mamu outplayed Barlow. The idea of Barlow on a two way is not a bad one though. For a third stringer he does not bother me at all. The problem is when you improve your 2-deep, the cuts come from the 3-deep, all else equal. Barlow can probably guard certain players better than anyone on the team though.

Barlow was on a regular NBA contract. From what I know he can‘t be signed back on a two-way

Barlow fitting in.. just not sure if the video would work

The thing with Barlow he needs to get minutes with what ever team he can hook up if he wants to be in the league for longer then a minute. I always liked him as I am a sucker for the underdog and I wish him well with his NBA career.

[poopbox]

Won't hit another 3 all season tbh

I'm just glad he not sucking up a roster spot here standing around doing nothing but making lightskin faces

Hopefully he gets a lot of minutes as Atlanta has a 20 win season so we can draft Cooper or maybe Harper.

[ChumpDumper]

Good for him. Shooting threes can only help him.

Weird haters chiming in.
