Woj: Spurs have traded De Colo for Austin Daye

[DapDaGenius]

Yes. One less French guy on the team.

[loveforthegame]

I like that the Spurs are.gambling here.

[johnpaulwall21]

typical spurs move. They help a player that doesn't fit in, find another home so he can have another chance to make it in the nba. meanwhile getting nothing in return. the end.

Toronto has one of the best backup PG's in the league in Vasquez and Lowry is arguably the best PG in the East this season. De Colo, unfortunately, will likely see the court even less than he did in San Antonio unless they move him to the 2.

Austin Daye is a guy that has consistently teased with his talent, and shown flashes of becoming a good NBA SF. His sop re season, he averaged 7.5 PPG and 3.8 RPG and shot over 40% from 3. He's also only 25 and brings alot of athleticism, something Pop said we were lacking in a recent interview. I like the trade. He will be a good backup for Kawhi and can play the 4. The guy is 6'11.

i'm not very quotable, here. but i like this chaz guy.

[BatManu20]

A sample of what he CAN do, even though he only averages 1 pt and 1 rb a game.. For the record, I don't think he does anything in SA.

[Bruno]

Do you think that this trade was made because De Colo was showing some discontent at not playing much?

I don't think so because Spurs/Pop could just have waived De Colo if needed. They might have some kind of interest in Daye to take him with his non-expiring contract.

a highlight package of jump shots over Kyle Korver..

Daye can't dribble and he's skinny, which is his biggest flaw in the NBA, he can't get to the basket with that frame and lack of ball-handling..he also can't post-up, either..

The only use he has on offense is shooting open 3s and shooting 1-dribble pull-ups against smaller defenders, tbh..defensively, he's awful..

[pivdro]

it was an omen when they left his ass at that smoggy arena in Mexico...

what? they left nando?

heres one you might enjoy

[will_spurs]

Well, Daye second year is $250K guaranteed so it is a bad trade if Spurs don't get some other assets back.

Although I'd be inclined to trust your word on this, 40MoH is reporting that the 2nd year is non-guaranteed.

[Bruno]

It wouldn't surprised me if Spurs get a little something else in this thread like a second round pick.

[Spur|n|Austin]

There's also literally zero chance Daye is worse than Jeff unless he just shows up the first day and shoots Tim Duncan in the face tbh.

OR misses 4 dunks in a game.

play him 48 minutes per game in the finals. we have our wade stopper

Sounds like a certain ginger on the team tbh. Now you know why Pop pulled the trigger.

31 page trade thread and this is what we get.

B-ball reference also corroborates Sham sports -

Austin Daye

Signed August 1, 2013 for an assumed minimum salary for 2 years. 2014-15 is partially guaranteed for $250,000 if waived before July 30, 2014, fully guaranteed after that.

Don't trust me, trust Sham.

[Mugen]

OR misses 4 dunks in a game.

That would mean Austin caught 4 passes in one game which is something I haven't seen Jeff do yet tbh

[siraulo23]

Well ill take it lol

spurs made a move

[will_spurs]

Don't trust me, trust Sham.

[JR3]

They have one true point guard on the team. That's not depth.

We move the ball like crazy and most of our guys at other positions move the ball well. We have multiple players that can do what a pg does from other positions including Diaw at pf. Not worried about not having true point gaurds like steve nash and john stockton on our team....

[KawhiLeonard]

Love this trade we get another long wing to throw at Durant decolo was expendable with mills,cojo playing the way they are

[50 cent]

Glad to get De Colo's whiny ass out of here.

48MoH has never been a source for good Spurs news or insight. Not for me anyway. No surprise that they'd be wrong on this.

[JR3]

I wonder if this means we are keeping shannon Brown around.
