Where the is Marcus Bryant?
This was the golden boy that we let go because we didn't want to pay $3M+ this year (after lux tax) so he could be #12 or #13 off the bench.
That wasn't even what I was talking about. I was saying he was lazy during his entire tenure with the Spurs. It was pretty much the biggest gripe about him.Wow what a great argument.
There are tons of players that move from one team to another. I guess they all suck too.

You completely ignored what I said. It is well known that Brown was not a hard worker in the least.Wow what a great argument.

Read what Jerry Sloan has had to do and say to Brown in Utah. People don't change.
You're way out of line.....
Devin Brown made it to the NBA by working his ass off. He ing played 365 days a year, in bush leagues, NBDL, CBA, USBL, whatever... Dude was MVP of the USBL.
He was undrafted. He busted his ass in San Antonio, then Utah, they offered him a deal but he busted his ass here and ing made it.
You have no clue as to what he has accomplished. Just because he isn't getting minutes in Utah and he is not putting up Lebron statistics doesn't mean .
Bruce Bowen plays 30 minutes a game, averages 4 points.. 2 rebounds and is supposed to be the Defensive player of the year but yet only averages a 1/2 a steal when Parker and Manu can get 2 a game.
Devin Brown is an example of hard work and dedication to the game.
those Mormons in Utah.
Everybody plays a role eh Sequ?
You did make a good point in that yes he worked hard to get to the NBA, but the Spurs cut him for his lack of work ethic didn't they? Someone confirm it but I think I speak the truth.
Devin Brown had contract in hand with the stipulation that if the Spurs signed Finley, he would have to look elsewhere.
Pop said in an interview on oai and the Pop show that if Finley chose SA, Devin would not be resigned.
So where are you getting your info?
I could swear that the Marks signing a week before was the reason Devin went to the Jazz.
Devin was, and still is a lazy player.
here's the latest on Devin.
he said Pops is an Angel....
Former Spur Brown: It's the language, not the volume
Johnny Ludden
Express-News Staff Writer
SALT LAKE CITY — Three months into his first season with the Utah Jazz, former Spurs guard Devin Brown has gained enough perspective to answer one of the NBA's most vexing questions.
Jerry Sloan or Gregg Popovich: Who yells the loudest?
"It's not the yelling, it's the language," Brown said, laughing. "Pop is an angel compared to what goes on around here."
Brown has been the target of at least one of Sloan's four-lettered blasts. Utah's longtime coach ripped him at a shoot-around two weeks ago for not playing hard.
Brown, who barked back at Sloan, responded by scoring 15 points on six shots in the Jazz' victory over Toronto that night. Heading into Monday's reunion with the Spurs, he was averaging 14.5 points in the six games since Sloan confronted him.
"We talked and worked everything out," said Brown, who already had raised Sloan's ire earlier in the season by publicly questioning his role.
"It was just one of those talks where he asked, 'Do you want to be here?' I said, 'Yeah.' And he was like, 'I need you to play a little harder. As long as you play hard, you'll get your minutes.'"
Brown spent parts of the previous three seasons with the Spurs and had hoped to re-sign with his hometown team last summer. But after Michael Finley agreed to join the Spurs, Brown signed a two-year, $5.1 million offer sheet — only the first season is fully guaranteed — with the Jazz.
The Spurs, who had concerns about the back injury Brown suffered at the end of last season, as well as his work ethic, declined to match.
"It's disappointing not to be able to defend (the championship)," said Brown, who will receive his championship ring when Utah visits San Antonio on April 17. "But I made it obvious if I left what the reasons were: playing time and things like that."
Brown has a similar reserve role to the one he held with the Spurs before his injury. He was averaging 8.1 points on 40.4 percent shooting before Monday and said his back hasn't bothered him.
Playing for Popovich also should have prepared Brown for Sloan.
"There's definitely a lot of similarities," Brown said. "They both want to win and they want that in all of their players.
"They don't understand when we come to practice sometimes and say we're tired. That just burns them up."
After spending most of his life in San Antonio — he starred at West Campus High School and UTSA — Brown has had to adjust to the cold weather. Instead of heading to the golf course after practice, he usually goes home to play video games.
"To be honest there are times when you wake up, walk outside and it's snowing, and ... you really think about your decision (to sign with Utah)," Brown said. "But it was for the best, and you have to make the most of it."

why I have the feeling that Devin isn't happy in Utah?
averages 8 points and about 3 or 4 boards a game.Bruce Bowen plays 30 minutes a game, averages 4 points
Get your stats right shorty before you pop off at the cake hole.
Forget about that ole shut down defense have you dwarfy?
In other words,To be honest there are times when you wake up, walk outside and it's snowing, and ... you really think about your decision (to sign with Utah)," Brown said. "But it was for the best, and you have to make the most of it."
I pray to god my option is shot down so I can go back to SA.
I've learned my lesson.
Bring him back, trade Barry for the first offer made.
