Champagnie and Keldon are only signed for 2 more seasons. They should sign DJG longterm. With Olynyk and Barnes expiring it looks like they are gearing up for another move at the deadline anyway.
Yes, a guy who has knocked around G-League and is looking for a first NBA contract and has never set foot on an NBA floor is better than a guy who has played in the NBA as a rotation player for many years.

I tend to agree. If Jones-Garcia might be worth the Champagnie contract (4 years). This roster is going to get very expensive very quickly and he could end up being the new bargain rotation player over the next few years (similar to what Champ has been).
All appearances, to me, are that DJG is going to get a Spurs contract.
1. They're shifting his role as Harper started playing. This would have happened naturally, but they're seeing how he reacts to not starting and having new duties thrown at him. Not so much on the court itself, IMO, but as a personality.
2. All high praise for him as an individual.
3. He didn't just show up before the games, he's been training with the SL team and others. Castle already knows him. Not anything in itself, but it's not exactly a swing at an unknown person.
4. The team needs talent on the bench, period.
5. Getting a paint attacker and SG type will help. Vassell is the only other SG on the roster, by my estimation. Not that these really matter. You can make a case for Champ as a SG. You can easily play Harper and Castle or whatever in the guard spots. But a guy who is out there to pressure defenses and be aggressive as a scorer is always good.
6. Plays defense, ballhawking, hustles.
7. On a kick-out last game against a busted defense, he measured up and drilled a wide-open three. Utterly confident, no hesitation. That's... not something widespread on this team.
As someone mentioned up thread, he and his agent may want a different situation, but the team's need, culture, and its ability to use players just like him make me think he stays. He really reads a lot like Simmons in play style and situation and then Neal otherwise.
Spurs' Jones-Garcia ‘belongs on an NBA court’
Harper calls David Jones-Garcia "a bucket," while Spurs assistant Mike Noyes has said on multiple occasions this summer that the 23-year-old forward "belongs on an NBA court." Before landing in Las Vegas, the undrafted Jones-Garcia made the All-California Classic summer league team after averaging 22.7 points over three games while going 8-for-17 from 3. Jones-Garcia followed that up with 24-point and 21-point performances in San Antonio's first two outings in Las Vegas. A native of the Dominican Republic, Jones-Garcia played collegiately at DePaul, St. John's and Memphis. The scorer could end up landing San Antonio's final two-way roster spot. -- Wright

I'd also add that we really need another proven shooter who can check into the game and knock a couple of shots down whenever the team is struggling.
Let's not forget that Barnes was the only great shooter this season at 43%. Champagnie and Vassell were at 37% and that was about it. We can't have Wemby at 35% as our 4th best shooter on the entire roster.
I think it's the reason why McLaughlin and even Olynyk are on the roster. Not regular rotation members, but players that can get the team out of a shooting slump. DJG would solidify that even more.
McLaughlin, DJG, Bryant, Olynyk third string would be great and would enable load and minute managment throughout the season. The goal is obviously to be a young, deep team that runs teams off the floor with their never ending energy.
Standing next to Harper he looked an inch or two shorter, so thats a bummer. Fox, Harper, and Castle should hands down get each of the 32 min of the guard spots and I don't care for Castle at the 3 nor DJG. Castle will likely play some 3 though, just to get them all more minutes. IMHO
God yes, sign him. Minix could be more useful around real players, but both until something better comes along.
When you know you made it.
Sign this young man, before our rivals do for Jiminy Cricket!
Omg who else just saw that play? Lol
I've seen enough. Sign this man.
Unless it’s on his side, it would be criminal for the Spurs to not offer this dude a contract.
Why isnt this dude signed yet?
The guy is nails at this level.
He's the protypical 6th man. Scores in spurts, effective and efficient in short minutes. Hope we keep him. Compe ion is good. Let the players force each other off the roster.
Hasn't lost a beat coming off the bench.
Maybe I’m way off but this guy has out played a two way. He should have a roster spot and given an opportunity as a rotation player. Good is good. Winning is winning. Give this guy 15mpg on the squad and see what you get.

Gary Neal vibes tbh
I can't tell if this is a good or a bad thing.
This front office will
it up and not sign him.
He can play man
Would it maybe better not to sign him so that we don't have to give him a max contract later?
