Can you imagine how many Garcia jerseys would be sold in San Antonio. Heck half the city named Garcia. Makes too much sense. Watch the Lakers of Suns make a run for him too lol
How does this work ?? Do the Spurs have first dibs or some other team can steal him at this point ?

It would be top 10 in NBA jersey sales imo
Any team can sign him. He played last year for Mexico City’s unaffiliated gleague team.
He would not get any min even if he was signed.
We are stacked. Unless there are multiple injuries then he might get the min to shine
there are no minutes to go around, but he is balling, credit to him.
Depending on how Mitch sees things, I'd say we need another guard more than we need another wing.
Yes, we don't have a legit PF, but that's by design, it's obvious Spurs want to play 4+1 basketball with a similar profile of perimeter players.
If Mitch thinks Castle is a SG/SF even if one of Fox/Harper isn't playing, then there will be minutes available for another guard.
Whether it be McLaughlin or DJG.
I agree with the point that DJG should be looking elsewhere because there are teams that would give him more opportunities, but if there's a chance Spurs should sign him.
Exactly.
We have:
Floor Generals: Fox, Harper, and if either are out, Castle
Bucket Getters: Castle, Vassell
Floor Spacers: Barnes, Champagnie, Keldon, Minix, McLaughlin
Defensive Disruptors: Sochan, Bryant, Ingram
Defensive Anchors: Wemby, Kornet, Olynyk
I think the weakest area is Bucket Getters (after Castle). Until Vassell shows real consistency, we need better depth there. DJG would slot in perfectly.
Slightly modified:
Floor Generals + Bucket Getters: Fox, Harper, Castle
Floor Spacers: Barnes, Vassell, Champagnie, Keldon, Minix, McLaughlin
Defensive Disruptors: Sochan, Bryant, Ingram
Defensive Anchors: Wemby, Kornet, Olynyk
made this change when I realized that on this team, our floor generals ARE also our bucket getters (and there’s nothing wrong with that)
I made a similar post a while back with roles instead of positions, I think players need to be tied with defense in consideration.
Assuming no jumpshot improvements are made, Castle and Sochan can't play together. Add Bryant to that category.
If we're talking lineups, I'll say it's something like this:
Wemby/Kornet/Olynyk at C. Two big lineups won't be a thing other than some specific situations.
One of Fox/Harper is always on the floor. They can also play together.
At least one of Barnes/Vassell/Champagnie is always on the floor, obviously we should also use lineups with two of them together.
Point of attack defense goes to Castle/Sochan/Bryant.
If Castle is on the floor with Fox/Harper, we should have two shooters alongside them. Three of them could play together if Harper proves to be a good shooter.
I'd assume Sochan will be out there when Castle sits.
Something like:
Fox/Vassell/Castle/Barnes/Wemby
into
Fox/Harper/Sochan/Barnes/Kornet
into
Harper/Vassell/Castle/Champagnie/Wemby
But all of this goes to because Keldon has to play. He outlived his purpose and doesn't offer much on offense with all the rim pressure we added. The less said about his defense, the better.
I guess we could play Castle/Sochan together against benches if Olynyk is stretching the floor.
Honestly, he and his agent are going to find the best situation where he can crack the rotation and beat out guys in front of him. The Spurs know Castle and Harper are the future. Maybe in a scenario that they would be moving on from Fox would you want another guard. But even in that scenario the Spurs would probably want a proven backup as opposed to an unproven David Jones-Garcia in the NBA. Don't get me wrong I like what i've seen from him so far, but I think he will have better opportunities elsewhere.
Fairy dreamland outlook:
-Sochan becomes an efficient shooter with 4 3 pt attempts per game
-No issues with touches between any of our big four
-Castle becomes a great shooter (Tbh I think this is a realistic possibility already)
-Vassell learns to adapt and becomes an elite 3 and D player
The rotation:
PG: Fox/ Harper/ McLaughlin
SG: Castle/ Champagnie
SF: Vassell/ Keldon/ Ingram
PF: Sochan/ Barnes/ Bryant/ Minix
C: Wemby/ Kornet/ Olynyk
sheesh i just realized even if none of these optimistic predictions come true, the Spurs are due for a major improvement by virtue of having a legitimate backup center alone
If Spurs could lock him up and develop him it could make him an eventual replacement player when there is a trade of Fox in 2-3 years.
Is Champaigne a SG not more of a a SF?
They should move Keldon and sign have Vassell to swing between 2-3 while signing Garcia to potentially pick up some of Keldon’s minutes.
I honestly believe he’s more of a 3/4 more than a 2 but I had to fit him in the main rotation because he’s just too talented (or more talented than the alternatives) to not play regular minutes
Just move Vassell/Champ and Castle/Keldon into the same position because of their similarities as players.
We need only one of these things to be a legit threat.Fairy dreamland outlook:
-Sochan becomes an efficient shooter with 4 3 pt attempts per game
-No issues with touches between any of our big four
-Castle becomes a great shooter (Tbh I think this is a realistic possibility already)
-Vassell learns to adapt and becomes an elite 3 and D player
3/3 would turn us into the best team in the league as soon as 26-27 season, tbh.
I don't think Devin will ever become a great defender, but I believe in Castle's improvement.
If this team, with a noticeable absence of shooting, can't find space for a guy that can shoot, I think it says more about our roster building philosophy than it does someone like DJG.
I suspect he signs elsewhere.
It's near impossible for the Spurs to offer him PT that other teams can
While we're deep, our guys have lacked consistency. So if keldon, dev, Julian etc have an off night immediately bench n see if he brings consistency. If so his time will increase while theirs drops
Garcia is way better than Keldon. Sad but true
yet we can offer trash like Keldon PT ?
I would think that if they wanted to sign him then they would have done so by now
are there people in here who really think a g-leaguer is better than KJ. cmon man. KJ would completely destroy him tbh.
Spurs could’ve offered him already, but it’s still up to DJG which team can give him more playing time.
I agree DJG can provide depth especially on nights when Vassell, Keldon and/or 2nd stringers are having an off day. But is that all that DJG want, a 3rd stringer minutes? If a rebuilding team can give him more minutes.
