Woj: Spurs Claim Julian Champagnie Off Waivers

[spurraider21]

Was he a two-way? Would be a good get if so. If they cut someone to put him on the 15, then it'd be interesting to see who.

EDIT: He should be a two-way guy. Intriguing wing. Second guy the team picked up from Philly.

would cutting dieng for the 11th time really have been interesting, tho?

His last name sounds like the way David stern would pronounce the word “champion.”

NBA Champagnie San Antonio Spurs!

Score-first mentality, volume shooter. Rather more of a McBuckets replacement when we trade his expiring contract next season for two FRP’s unprotected

Looks like he was on a two-way contract. If this waiver claim slides him into the empty two-way spot, that'd be really good. I was looking at possible two-way candidates and the cupboard was pretty bare.

I was afraid the Spurs would sign some retread like Jordan Hall or Robert Woodard II or DJ Stewart or Alize Johnson. I like Julian Champagnie better than all those guys.

Well done

Not sure if serious?!

KDB is culture at this point tbh.

Dude barely hanging on to an nba career is a pillar for the spurs going forward

Keita Bogans Diop?

I watched him a couple times in college; he was clearly above almost everyone on the court.

This is the sort of pick up you want. Let Stanley Johnson play for a playoff team, grab someone with potential. I'm guessing Philly is going after Kevin Love.

hearing that the heat is his likely destination.

Cool name. That's good enough for me this season. Good signing!

I don't see this guy getting very many minutes once Pop gets Bryn Forbes back into the starting lineup.

He was waived so that Philly could sign Mac McClung.
