Spurs reach agreement with Jeff Pendergraph (Report: 2 Year, ~$4 million)

[DPG21920]

Is that a bad sign that a team that has him only thought enough of him to offer the min & that he couldn't best out Ian or Tyler Hans for PT?

I'd say it's definitely a sign that they didn't think Pends could play center. As for Hansbrough, hard to say. Could be they didn't think he was better than Tyler, could be they felt compelled to play Tyler given the draft pick they used on him and the decision about Tyler's QO they had to make.

So Boylen singing his praises was the main reason the Spurs went after Pendergraph, huh? Hope it pans out better for us than Jackie Butler did after being highly recommended by Larry Brown.

hope that jumper earns him some minutes or else he's just more of a 4th or 5th emergency big

Hollinger was also a big Jackie Butler fan IIRC

Pendergraph & Pop have one thing in common : they're not fans of Flo rida

Pendergraph was ejected in a game vs Miami bec of Florida & Co.

Pop rejected Florida (& his manager) near the Spurs bench in game 6.

Patty's got the towel. He's got the huddles.

Look at young Patty Mills in the back at 1:04 on the vid.

Actually, 15 pages are about how dead in the water the spurs are because they didn't sign a top name free agent...same old thing every year. "Were screwed", "Holting pattern", "Everyone else is getting better, and as usual, the Spurs FO does nothing" etc.

We have more GM's on this thread alone, than exist in the entire NBA.

Jeff Pendergraph Been “Dreaming” About Playing With Spurs

[timtonymanu]

the haters. I'm excited to see Jeff Pendergraph.

[xmas1997]

I'm excited to see what both the new guys are going to do.

[ace3g]

He was 2/4 from 3 last season, hit a 3 in that video, maybe Spurs envision him as a stretch 4 eventually to replace Bonner, but with better rebounding.

[Sean Cagney]

I see Reach agreement with on right side, click on the link to bring me in here and see this crap! What a great teaser that was . Slow offseason when you see this at the top.

[DesignatedT]

Seems like he has a great head on his shoulders. I don't know what to expect but his versatility at the 4/5 spots seems like a nice fit. Hopefully Boylen is right.

Seems like the type of player that could have success with Manu in PnR due to his midrange game.

[Aremid]

The question you need to be asking is this: will this guy be able to come off the bench IN THE PLAYOFFS and provide Timmy rest? If so then this is a great signing. If not RC should be fired for spending dough on a bench warmer.

[SpursRock20]

Hope this guy doesn't rot at the end of the bench. He deserves an opportunity to slowly overtake all of Bonner's minutes as the season progresses and get a chance for a spot in the rotation come playoff time.

hope he's not as soft as vagina Splitter

Sweet Package of Energy and IQ

The offseason for the San Antonio Spurs wasn't a huge splash. The team resigned core players (Manu Ginobili, Tiago Splitter), signed guard Marco Belinelli and Jeff Pendergraph. Aside from those moves, it's been relatively quiet for San Antonio.

[Hoops Czar]

Fluff piece.... Indiana thought so highly of his intangibles and basketball IQ that they placed him behind Mahimni on the depth chart.

Jeff McDonald @JMcDonald_SAEN
Jeff Pendergraph signed with the Spurs in July, but no player by that name will appear in an NBA game this season. Next link will explain:

Jeff McDonald @JMcDonald_SAEN
Jeff Pendergraph has legally changed his name to Jeff Ayres. It's his biological father's surname. expressnews.com/news/local/art…

[DesignatedT]

I was wondering while when I toured the lockerrooms last month that there was a "Ayres" spot in there.

[tbdog]

Lets not have another one of these.

But for comedy relief, a quick browse, my two favourites are

Why the should you worry?

C - Tiago/Baynes
PF - Timmy/Diaw/Pendergraph

no more Bonner

With so many young guys in the roster at least a couple will bust eventually, by that I mean Ayers and Daye bust. It's,just the odds. I hope it's not Dejonte but we won't know for a couple of seasons bc he's too young. The possible Daye/Ayers are the older guys. We don't have many on this roster, but those older guys are really unable to improve. Just arbitrarily, about 26-27 yrs old those two were pretty much what they were as players, and that was practice room end of the bench guys.
