Spurs Waive All Three

[ploto]

Hey LJ- you left off Skita!

Spurs just don't seem to me to be interested in taking on one young player and developing him.

I saw Devin Brown last night at Lifetime.

I haven't been keeping up as much as I'd like to with the NBA, last I heard he was traded for DFish to Golden State. So I asked him, he said "na, I'm waiting on a call". If our roster is at 14, and he's in the city (even though he is from here)...who knows? It could happen.

[Mr. Body]

Seems like good preparation to see who gets cut before the season starts - a Rawle Marshall here or there. I'm with most here, though, who see this as nothing. They can pick up Sanders or Devin Brown if they have to a few weeks from now.

He got cut by Golden State

[Mr. Body]

One thing this signifies is they're not keeping Melvin Sanders just because he's a good teammate and Duncan likes him. This is probably a good sign. While he's probably a good person, that's not a great reason to have him. This frees us up to nab a waived player, just in case.

Of course I hope they have someone in mind. Tshkitishvili?

If I was the Spurs, I would IR Horry to start. No sense in even THINKING about putting extra miles on his legs this early in the season.

They might even be able to use him as a coach protege, a la Avery for the Mavs. Just rest the dude. His season starts in May.

Mhm... Ebi got waived by the Mavs. Would you guys pick him up? He is a long 3 (6'9, 200). Is he able to play some defense? I would not mind him as 15th man...

Brother can you spare a dime?

Well, he had 18 and 8 against the Spurs once, if that's any indication (and it isn't).

[RC's Boss]

I would prefer someone thats gone thru trng camp vs. Devin.

You never know. I say let's do it

There is no reason the Spurs should not sign Devin Brown. At the moment, they have the weakest bench ever in the Tim Duncan era, he knows the system, he can defend smaller or bigger players- for the cheap ass Spurs, even his salary is somewhat determined by his time in the league. Time to quit nickel and dimieing it. They need him.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Anyone tell me why the waived Melzer? Wasn't he showing any potential? It's surprising that they are not signing a young, long 3 for the minimum just to see if they can develop him. Are we that close to the lux tax?

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Trade Bonner and Beno for Boykins so there's only one IR spot. But then I don't know who to put on the IR.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Why is everyone bummed about us cutting three scrubs? All this gloom and doom over a couple of scrub wingmen.

Spurs just don't seem to me to be interested in taking on one young player and developing him.

Just because none of these three are the ones doesn't mean they're not interested. IF they don't pick anyone up, then yeah we've got a cheap ass owner, but there's several NBA rosters out there with more than 15 that are going to have to make cuts in the next few days, so it's good business sense for them to see who falls onto the waiver wire before making any move.

[angel_luv]

I am sorry Melvin was cut. I had hoped we could utilize him on the team this year.

[RC's Boss]

My mortgage is $1245 per month. Hopefully Holt will help me pay it w/ the money he saved

[T-Pain]

SAN ANTONIO – The San Antonio Spurs announced today that they have waived guards Melvin Sanders and Charles Lee and forward Jamar Smith.

Sanders, who saw action in 16 games for the Spurs last season, appeared in four preseason contests where he averaged 4.0 points and 1.0 rebounds in 9.8 minutes. The 6-3 Lee had 2.7 points and 1.2 assists in six preseason games. Smith averaged 3.0 points and 2.2 rebounds in five preseason contests.

The Spurs roster stands at 14.

nooo not melvin!!!

[mattyc]

Christ, sign Devin already. The boy can play.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Why are you people upset about Sanders? The guy was a scrub. Geez.

[PDBM2]

Funny story...

I had no idea the Spurs had a chance of signing Devin. I just thought he was in town. So we're playing full court, and on the game winning shot he faked in, and stepped back for the 2, I swiped for it, got a piece and got his hand as well...and he ended up on the ground It wans't vicious or anything, but piont is when he got up I was just kidding with him "Devin, you're not on the Spurs anymore...you're fair game now man." =/ I guess I spoke too soon.




But seriously, has there been any sort of indication he might sign with us? Other then fans pipe dreams.

[theroc5]

If the Spurs don't at the very least bring in Devin Brown for the minimum, I'm going to go ghostal up in here. Holt's cheapness hurt the Spurs' chances last year. If he pulls that again, he might as well just sell the team.

ill join ya

[theroc5]

i was really starting to like melvin and i do not know why we would cut him enless they think he cant get alot more playing time else where but still why cut everyone? we better be getting some one, hopefully devin.

[PDBM2]

Why would Devin sign for the minimum?

He's worked real hard to get in the position he is now. If I were him I'd just sit out the year and sign on somewhere next year. Or maybe mid-season with a team.
