I believe Dakota still has rights to him.
Got any proof to back that up? Not like I hope you're wrong, but you shouldn't be saying like that with no proof.
I'll eat my words if you do, though.![]()
I believe Dakota still has rights to him.
What a huge loss.
I couldn't find any videos on Sims w/c is strange. What's his offensive game like; he has a terrific % from the field and his shotblocking is great. A bit too skinny though and probably a good project but won't have an immediate impact.. get a veteran big.
That's what I'm thinking. Or it could open the door for another D-League tryout.
I guess we'll see.
Maybe the Spurs won't sign anyone.
In this economy, I don't think it's a stretch that the Spurs might look to save the 150k+ that another player signed at the minimum pro-rated out for the remainder would be.
It's not like anyone they signed would be playing anyway.
His second game of the season is in the archive:

Jeff McDonald: Duncan a POW, Ahearn a free agent
Two bits of news here from Spurs Land:
Tim Duncan (you might have heard of him) has been named the Western Conference Player of the Week. Duncan averaged 22 points and 12.5 rebounds in helping lead the Spurs to a 4-0 mark.
Duncan's best game of that span came in a 133-126 overtime victory at Dallas on Tuesday in which he tallied 32 points and 14 rebounds.
Meanwhile, the Spurs bid adieu to point guard Blake Ahearn, who was waived Sunday. Signed on Nov. 14, Ahearn appeared in three games for the Spurs before being assigned to their Developmental League squad in Austin.
The apex of Ahearn's brief career remains his H-O-R-S-E victory over Manu Ginobili.
This is a good sign because it means Ian is ready to start playing again. So that means they won't sign anyone until after he comes back to the Spurs.
IF the Spurs sign someone, I'm hoping it's either Malik Hairston or Marcus Williams. Getting one of those two locked in for this season and likely next should be a priority for the Spurs...even if they spend the rest of the season in Austin.
Of course, that means one of Mahinmi or Tolliver would end up back with the Spurs.
Guess we'll see...
Can Hairston run some point in D-League or is this far fetched?
He may have to. He'd probably suck, but he would be better than Squeaky's current backups. One of them needs to step up.
Interesting timing, could a signing be coming soon....Mutombo???
fukin bull .
Vaughn is useful as a veteran to teach young players like hill. I think keeping him around is good but just dont play him to much.
Ahearn is not an NBA player. He is not even a good D Leauger. I think its a good call. For all the flack Vaughn gets he is not a bad backup and as a 3rd pg he is great!
you don't know do you?
you smoke way to much dope.
Thanks.For anyone who watched this, how did Sims look? A watched a little bit, but I was distracted. Even if i had been scrutinizing his play, things like bball IQ, spacing, post O, post D, ballhandling would've escaped me. He looked solid from what I saw though. And he seems to be good at drawing fouls.
In the couple games he played with Austin, didn't he tear it up?
Something in the works here perhaps.
If anything, they should have waived Vaughn or do a 2 for 1 trade using Udoka/Vaughn and get a SF that can just defend. Oh ya, throw in a 2nd round pick too. There you have it.
Might just be true. We may get to see Ian play once and for all. That is if he doesnt hurt himself. Or, the Toro's need some help in the paint.![]()
