You think it's more likely that they get that experienced wing in FA, or wait to see what the buyout market looks like?
I would be fine with a washed-up veteran that is content with a role at the end of the bench..Rasual Butler comes to mind..

Yeah, IIRC, last would be Neal.
So Simmons is more than just a training camp invite. Invites at best get about $50,000 guaranteed.
An athletic slasher, who can hit the open trey, plus hussles back on transition defense With great timing for the min?
Yea I'll take that for the 3rd sg.
He'll have a better year than KA.
In Austin, tbh
So, doesn't look like anyone on our SL team is likely to make the leap.
I wonder how legitimate his 3-point shooting is. In the 2013-2014 season, he only shot 28% from deep. He improved to 40% last year on 2.6 attempts per game. I'd imagine he's not a legitimate 40% 3-point shooter, but as long as he can hit 35+% he'll be fine.
Bonner's gone I think, so I reckon Lalanne could be kept around as a rotating D-League/team player along with Simmons and Anderson.
In RC's latest interview with the E-N, it sounds like the team may be moving on from Bonner. That would leave two spots.
Was wondering why he wasn't on the SL Team... glad they signed him up finally... homeboy will be even better than Devin BROWN, I hope
This off-season is making me want to move to SA just to watch TD's last season or 2.... hmmm
I think that also tells us that there probably isn't going to be any more pleasant surprises from the FA pool. Certainly not two, like all the speculation that has been done.
40% from the 3P is a good reason to sign him. But the question with most of the D-League guys isn't "can they do it?", it's "can they do it consistently?" "Can they do it under pressure?" Fortunately, the core of the team is strong enough that he will only have to play short minutes in the regular season. Anything more than that would be a surprise and a bonus.
Sounds about right, with a spot left over for the buyout market later in the year.
My take is that Spurs didn't want him to catch the eye of another team in Las Vegas and decided to lock him up. They might play him between Austin and SA some, but he knows the system and that's a big advantage for a newbie on the Spurs.
Bonner is gone
Can't hit a ing open shot even in regular season games. It's time to move on from him and Ayres.
So like Danny, but can put the ball on the floor and do something with it... Gotta see how he is on the defensive end
A toros guy I know told me he is extremely athletic and a good guy
Also, he looks more promising than Kyle Anderson.
Which isn't saying much tbh
If so, that's disappointing. Bertans looks like a good player to me.
That's a very cool video in your sig. Belli didn't put his heel on the end line, and Danny didn't clank the 3.
Hopefully the Spurs get 1 moooooooore SF. Would be perfect. You can see why in the highlights, SA likes Simmons. I only caught one Austin Spurs game this year so I didn't see him play enough to comment (in fact, don't remember seeing him at all).However, in the highlights, definitely looks like a player that would do well with other talent around him.
Exciting for Simmons!
Well to be fair, he is 4 years older than KA.
Active 12 Man Roster:
Duncan/LMA/Kawhi/Danny/Parker
West/Boris/Manu/Mills/Boban/McCallum
Last spot between: Anderson, Simmons, ?, ? with Anderson likely getting the nod at this point?
maybe give KA the athleticism of Simmons, get a damn fine player.
