I was really bored today so I went back and looked at the Spurs summer league rosters throughout the years. And we had CJ Watson (quality back-up PG/journeyman), Alexis Ajinca (starting center for the New Orleans Pelicans) and Anthony Tolliver (career journeyman) on our summer league teams. And we let all of them go.

None of them turned out to be really good NBA players but considering we could have signed them all for the minimum at the time...I guess what I'm trying to say is the Spurs aren't perfect. They miss guys like everyone else.

Lets not act like Curry was complete garbage during his time with the Spurs. He averaged 8 points and 4 boards in 15 minutes, displaying good instincts while not trying to force anything. In fact, I'd go as far as saying most of us expected him to make the team and were actually surprised when he was cut..

..But then his stint with the Mavericks happened, and boy did we change our minds.

Considering their quality at the time with the Spurs and the fact that the team was always competing for a championship, is hard to make roster spots for "could be in a bad team's rotation in a few years" players. You could also make a list of the player that were let go and never made it. It would be by far longer.

This year's roster is a good example. Joseph, Daye, Ayres, Bonner and Baynes are defintely NBA quality players that could've been waived/traded to make room for something the team needs more at the moment. Joseph is cheap and with Patty hurt he is a locked to stay. Ayres has one more year but could be traded any time. Daye is cheap, showed some upside and fits a team need (Kawhi's backup and combo-stretch forward). If the Spurs sign someone new, specially a big, Baynes is probably gone even he could be a rotation player in the near future.
