It's a combination of the Spurs want for "free" what somebody else has to pay for and there are just so few players around the world that fit the Spurs system. The selection process is crazy.
My understanding was that the LAST 3 players waived from roster can be allocated to Toros..which somewhat explains why Young and Maggette, players highly unlikely to sign D league deals for obvious reasons, were 1st waived, and young guys waived last.

It's certainly plausible for Dirk to end up with the Spurs once he's a useless corpse.
That's Mr. Hankey... and I would need a reason why he wouldn't be better than, say, DeColo...
The lineup of Cory, Nando, Joshua, Matthew, and Jeffrey is really gonna look beautiful on HD television.
all these meltdowns over a potential backup SF that may not even remain on the roster..
It's October 25th, who exactly do people expect the Spurs to sign at this point, tbh?..
I understand the disappointment in the Spurs' lackluster off-season, especially since they had room to improve and separate themselves from the pack, but only on ST is the backup SF position the deal breaker for a championship..
The Spurs are throwing on the wall and hoping it sticks, tbh, until a potential amnesty candidate in the stretch run, or they plan on playing Diaw at the backup 3, which is a viable option, tbh..
So we didn't sign Maggette who was working his ass off and now we sign this guy?
Plus, name me a team that has a better starting AND backup SF than San Antonio.
Miami? lol LeBron is a positionless freak
Chicago? lol Leonard > Deng at this point
Brooklyn? Maybe, but Pierce and AK are old
OKC? KD's backup is Ryan Gmes
Houston? Parsons is good and Casspi's a deadly shooter and that's it
Golden State? Iguodala + Barnes is scary, but that's it
LAC? Dudley and Matt Barnes are good role players but neither have Kawhi's ceiling.
So I'd say the only teams with an undeniably better SF rotation than SA are Miami (because LeBron), GS, and possibly Brooklyn.
The concern for this team isn't filling up an antiquated depth chart (because Pop doesn't think in terms of PG/SG/SF/PF/C, and I agree because that was made obsolete with the increased reliance on perimeter play) but making sure their top 6 remain healthy.
I and i agree. If ayres and baynes prove rotation worthy diaw will log about half his minutes at the three.
Is mr. Hankey the talking poo or that s handpuppet? I get confused.
If the former, then he and nando share common traits. Both play like . At least the talking poo would literally be guaranteed to leave his mark on the court. It goes without saying that the talking poo would be classified as a streaky shooter.
the former
Throw a Pop interview in the mix and there's fapping material for the whole family...
I don't see what's so bad about this move. He's not eating up our cap with a big contract and he's not starting or playing over a promising young prospect.
In other words, he's not Richard Jefferson.
That's not a step down, it's a cliff dive.
if he's a useless corpse, that's when we'll sign him. we have a habit of that lately.
Ohh.... don't like FACTS do ya
You can spout off all the dribble you BELIEVE might happen but the FACTS are different right now
Neal is a better player by every NBA stat,you find one just one where he isn't and maybe I'll grant yer pansy ass some credit
Till then.... suck it bag
If you are just looking at stats then you don't really understand team basketball, internet tough girl. Go troll someone else. The adults are talking...
Spurs just trolling their fans now.
Just wanted his D-League rights... everybody off the cliff
He'll play in the D-League for a rehab stint. If he looks good the Spurs will bring him back up. No risk situation tbh.
