Tbh I didn't know kabongo was a guy. Thought it was a lame nickname for Kawhi
Maybe we should tap the breaks on Canadian UT point guards who leave school too early.
Sucks about Maggette though. I thought his 8 FT's were proof positive he'd be able to find a niche on this team.

Is anyone else disappointed that these guys (especially Kabongo and Cousin) didn't get more playing time? I mean this is the preseason, and these guys were coming in only in garbage time and getting just a few minutes a piece.
Frankly though, these were good decisions. Maggette is completely washed up. Cousin I don't know about...didn't see much of him, and Kabongo is about as raw as they come, and should have stayed at Texas 1 more year. Still though, I wish we'd put Kabongo on the Toros, just because he's a freakish athlete who in time his skills could be utilized if he ever learns how to slow down and run plays.
I didn't watch the game live but, I'm surprised Maggette was cut so fast considering he was playing a b2b for the first time in 10 months. I'm sure the thin air in Denver didn't do him any favors either.
Yes, but if history repeats itself, the later the Spurs add a player the less chance he will have to help in the playoffs.
What a luxury it was for a team like the Spur to bring in two vets, invite them to camp and cut them just as fast. How many teams could say that, lol?
Well...... Fells as Air Force to the toros!
Not nessessarily. Diaw stepped right in after being amnestied by the Bobcats.
Well if he has healthy issues then there isn't much to talk about. Crazy to think that SA is going to the season with only Leonard as a true SF.
Poop Star, GTFO. It was and still is a luxury to be deep enough to be able to cut ties with vet players that fill a certain need but aren't the perfect fit. Sorry it doesn't make sense to you, guess you should have gone for that GED.
If the Spurs were deep at SF, neither would have been in camp. Don't you see, that's the problem.
Remember how we all used to rage at Pop for bringing in a used-up veteran and then not playing him. We all wanted athletic young guys with some upside potential.
Well, Pop has changed his outlook on vets it seems.
Personally, I think the right decision was made. Magette simply looked out of place on this squad. We're all about ball movement and spacing with outside shooters to leave the lane open for Parker to attack. We really couldn't use his post up game that he used to have.
It is a problem that we don't have a natural 3 to back Kawhi but we have other short term options from our deep bench like Beli, Manu, DG and Diaw. The luxury is that this 8-10 backup 3 minutes seems like the biggest need when other teams (like Denver) don't even know who most of their starters will be. And that we can take our time and find a backup sf that fits better than the two we just released.
It is a problem but it wasn't enough to keep us from the Finals.
Maggette could have been a Spur years and years ago.
Most of these guys sucked yesterday. The game was ugly when they were in court. The same for NDC. Nice effort from Magette, but he was bad.
What are Maggette's health issues?
Yep, I seem to recall thread after thread several years suggesting that he'd be a great fit. He would'be been too. It all just came together too late...
Cojo/Manu/Diaw/Ayers/Baynes lineup tbh
Probably nothing he could have really helped get to the line in his limited minutes. He should have been giving the entire preseason to show what he has considering his lack of PT last season and being a 2nd night of a back to back.
i'm excited about Kabongo. part of it is he's a Longhorn, but also I think he's got serious upside, I just hope the drive is there and he continues to improve. If he's cool with going to the Toros, that would be really good. I might have to go to some of their home games.
Baynes has been looking pretty bad as well.
That would be my guess too, 14 players to keep flexibility in order to maybe pick up a better gem.
I had a feeling all along that neither Young nor Maggette would make the team.
I do hope Kabongo goes to the Toros, although he an inch shorter than Cojo, I think he has serious upside.

Baynes very likely hasn't really cracked the rotation. He probably won't see much more than garbage minutes unless somebody gets injured.
C Splitter / Bonner / Baynes
PF Duncan / Diaw / Ayres
I'm surprised both Maggette and Kabongo were cut this soon. I thought that they both would get more of a chance.
