Spurs Waive Two

[timvp]

By when do the Spurs have to make the final cut?

The deadline is usually right before the season starts. I'd guess the deadline is something like 3PM on Monday.

[Darkwaters]

The most realistic scenario I see is that Williams gets waived (hopefully redrafted in Austin) and Washington is then signed. Beno rides out his time on the team and is traded before the deadline.

Of course, if Williams is truly "untouchable" then our only hope might be trading Beno. But frankly, I think they might be able to console RC by promising to take Williams in the NBDL draft.

I heard it was sometime on the 29th.

Agreed except for the last part.

I really think Washington well be waived and is only on the roster due to JV still being injured at this time. JV may need another week to recover from his injury, so this buys the spurs another week of rest for him.

The Raptors have 16 players in camp and have until the Oct. 29 deadline (6 pm ET) to set their roster of 15

Looks like I was off by two hours.

When I hear the coaches talk about Marcus Williams and Darius Washington in pre/post game interviews...I hear a patient, "showing us some good things on defense" ride-this-one-out types of comments on Marcus and the "whether he makes it here or somewhere else, he has shown us some good things" types of comments on Darius.

That may be coach spin for RC wants to see his draft project succeed regardless of whatever else is going on.

[Darkwaters]

Agreed except for the last part.

You think Beno would spend a full year with the team instead, or what?

[timvp]

The most realistic scenario I see is that Williams gets waived (hopefully redrafted in Austin) and Washington is then signed.

I still think the most likely scenario is Washington gets waived. Trading Beno will be difficult. It could be difficult getting Holt to sign off on the idea of eating his contract. And even though Williams hasn't shown much, he was still a high second round pick that some people in the organization had to have liked.

If I had give the odds, I'd say:

65% Washington is cut
20% Williams is cut
12% Beno is cut or traded
3% Washington and Williams are cut

[Mr. Body]

Yeah. I don't think any team will want his flea-ridden behind. And the Spurs won't want any contracts they could get for $1.7 million.

I meant that as the "most realisitic scenario that keeps Washington on the roster". I tend to agree that the most likely outcome is that nothing changes right now. But if Washington is going to make this team this year then I think his best chance is Williams gets waived.

Lemme get out my two 10-sided dice...

It's funny to me because Washington might not even be very good. But we are all so excited about him because it's someone shining so much brighter than Beno.

Washington plays like he cares....that alone makes him more likeable than Beno.


Did you see the clip of when Washington missed those two FT's? The pain? The agony?


The only time you see Beno in that kind of agony is when he gets to Taco Cabana too late for the breakfast tacos.

or when he gets a hangnail....

Or when he goes to Utah were theres only white chicks.

[Mr. Body]

That's not 'agony' for Beno. That's a 'get out of preseason free' card.

Thats what I'm talking about TPark..Where on the same page, this is getting pretty repe ive, lets talk about some of Beno's so-called "chicks or scanks"

less words more pictures.

er maybe be a piece of as a basketball player, but the er pulls great tail from being in the NBA.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

God please let the Spurs waive or trade Beno for Washington.

[SequSpur]

quit trying to figure out the inner dwellings of some ish you have no idea about.

yeah, you're probably right, I shouldn't figure out the truth.

[SequSpur]

BTW.....

Beno is gone.............................................. ...........

[T Park]

I hope your right little man.

[Darkwaters]

I hope your right little man.

Third string PG guard position. Who cares? These guys are invisible most games, even compared to the 3rd string bigs. Practice dummies and towel wavers are the required skill sets.

Develop? How many of these guys ever 'develop' into starters? Their realistic goal is to become the second string guard.

Anyway, Pop would rather play Barry or Gino if we get that far down in the squad rotation and something important is on the line.

Much ado about nothing.
