Devin can do a lot of things we need...most notably defend pain in the butt big or tall SF types like Melo, Artest, Bonzi and even Dirk...but yeah, knowing Pop, if he was gonna be here he'd already have been here IMO.
I like what Bonner could potentially bring but I don't know who else the Spurs can IR. They need Vaughn on the active list because Beno is just waiting to sprain something. The Spurs can't give up on Elson already. Butler is looking too good to be put on IR.
Hopefully by the end of the year, the IR is Elson and Vaughn.

They can change it game to game, so I don't really care who it is. If Beno isn't ready by Nov 2, it can be him and Williams (since Williams is fat).
Qyntel Woods is out there. Theron Smith is out there. Kasib Powell is out there. Milt Palacio is out there. Guys like Andre Barrett, Ime Udoka, Matt Barnes and Anthony Roberson could get cut soon.
There's no reason to stay at 14. The Spurs need an extra swingman in case of an injury or if Brent Barry takes over the backup PG job. If the Spurs have given up on Beno, then they better get another PG on this team.
I thought they would keep at least 15. I just don't understand the Spurs organization sometimes.
They still might keep 15. Maybe just one of these three wasn't the one.
Last year if they would have kept someone like Devin, GRob, Sharrod Ford, Stephen Graham, etc. ... then they would have had some options against the Mavs. The Spurs went cheap and it cost them.
Hopefully they don't do the same this season.
Not a surprise.
Spurs have cut them because of the luxury tax.
I don't think that Spurs need a 15th player : 3 PG, 5 wings and 6 bigs is enough and players available aren't really interesting.
It won't be enough if it becomes 4 PG, 4 wings and 6 bigs. And it wasn't enough last year when the Spurs had no one to guard Dirk.
There are dozens of project Long Threes out there. It makes no sense not to pick one up.
Maybe they should go ahead and cut all the centers now.
Does Devin live in San Antonio??
Probably, I'm pulling for Devin myself. CIA Pop, as always.
Maybe the Spurs have a trade in the works...and they got a guy they know they want.
Doubt it. The Spurs would have waited until the trade was official before waiving these players.
This just sounds like a directive from Peter Holt to save some change.
I agree, it's going to be Beno and Williams.
You earn your minutes in Pop's system. Beno and Williams put in the least during training camp and therefore will start the season with the least amount of minutes.
Barry is still for the moment a wing. It's unlikely that he will be Spurs backup PG.
Don't forget that Spurs hace Williams this year. Even at 80%, he will do a better job and Dirk that available players.
Dozens of below average projects.
The best one is maybe Matt Barnes and it's not sure that Warriors will cut him.
yeah cheap ass holt
he was one of a handfully willing to pay the tax last year
ing cheap bastered
The Spurs did the same thing last year, cutting Graham, Ford and Sanders and cut the roster down to 14...then 2 weeks later, they re-signed Sanders when Manu (ankle) and Brent (back) were ailing.
They may just be trying to get by with 14 until they are forced to buy some insurance.
But these guys don't even get the vet min right? They are like 300-400k players right? So I mean 700-800k that's a really small out amount of change to be saving...
Isn't the limitation on trading Williams up now?
They cut the roster to 13 last year.
This year Spurs will have one more swing (Williams).
They have waived them not because of their salaries but because Spurs are just over the luxury tax. They want to keep flexibilty to go underthe tax threshold with a trade before the trade deadline.
can they not change the ir from game to game though
Bruno, I believe you are right, the Spurs did cut it to 13 last year. Good catch.
