    Really, how hard was it to predict that Garret Temple couldn't run an offense or handle the point guard responsibilities??
    I think you've proven your inability to discuss basketball.

    Now you're on about Matt ing Barnes again.

    Yeah, I thought the NBA numbers looked fishy since I knew Quinn had played many more games, so I checked the other site.
    And because it was pointed out already.

    Chris quinn appears to be a statistical nightmare at first glance -

    Career 29.8% Field Goal shooting, career 23.5% 3 point shooting.

    But, then you realize he's only actually played in 19 games throughout his entire career, and it becomes obvious that the sample size is clearly not sufficient to be able to make any judgments at this moment in time.

    Obviously he'll get minutes somewhere and we'll see what he can do. Until then I have absolutely nothing else to say, I can't even begin to imagine what this guy might bring to the spurs because I no virtually nothing about him.
    Where are you guys getting these stats from?

    Chris Quinn has played 193 games, started 26. Shoots 40.5% FG & 30.9% from the three . . . career stats.

    Don't like the move. Now we only have one Small Forward.

    Simmons didn't play SF to begin with. He only played the 4 position.

    I like it. I was just about to respond to a mountainballer post that I, which usually seems to be the case, was in agreement with.

    Quinn's a capable point and a marksman from deep. The Spurs aren't overloaded with dead eye shooters and Hill's been used more as a 2, ceding playmaking responsibilities to Ginobili more often than not -- playing big minutes at the point isn't conducive to keeping an older Ginobili fresh.

    I'm on this move.
    The Spurs should be fine in terms of outside shooters. For whatever reason, Anderson is almost forgotten as a shooter at this point. Jefferson will soon come crashing back down to earth, but even when he does, I'd be surprised if he doesn't shoot at least his career percentage from three. Throw in Ginobili, Hill, Bonner and Neal and their should be enough there.

    Ginobili should be fine, even when paired with Hill. They're interchangeable, in terms of handling the point. It's not like last season when Parker was out and Mason was struggling, which led to (when Hill was resting) Ginobili often being paired with Bogans in the back court. That would wear him out. Playing under 30 mpg, playing more with Parker and always playing with another ball handling guard period, shouldn't.

    Even in the event he's not fine, it's not going to matter. Quinn is not going to crack the rotation. The times the Spurs use a fourth guard, it'll be Neal.

    Bobby Simmons getting waived isn't too much of a surprise. Barely getting any minutes with Bonner out wasn't a good sign. And now that he's basically a power forward, being the sixth big behind Duncan, Blair, Splitter, McDyess and Bonner made him expendable.

    But Chris Quinn? Not a big fan. He can shoot the ball but that's about it. Gives effort on D and decent ball-handler and passer ... but overall a not too interesting prospect with a low ceiling.

    Signing Quinn could be a sign that Temple is a goner (either to Austin or the waiver wire). Temple has been pretty damn horrible so perhaps the Spurs view Quinn as a player who can step in right away and backup Parker while Hill is out. Quinn could step in and be better than Temple just due to being a better shooter and ballhandler.

    Speaking of Hill, signing Quinn might or might not mean that Hill could be out a little longer than expected.
    I think signing Quinn had nothing to do with Hill being out (he'll probably play tomorrow) and was less about Temple being a goner and more about the experiment of turning Temple into a PG having run it's course. If he's to stay full time with the Spurs, he'll probably have to do it as more of a wing defender than anything. He'll still remain an emergency option at point, though.

    I don't expect Quinn to last long. I think the Spurs are just flat out auditioning players for their 12th and 13th roster spots and may not settle on them for some time. I wouldn't be surprised if a few more players are brought in over the next few months.

    I'd love to see both these guys in SA for 10-days as they seem like good, team-oriented high-reward/low-risk bets.

    I realize Butler is still injured, but if he's healing on schedule, he should be ready for contact drills by Dec and is capable of being twice the player Gee is. And with Simmons gone, there's a direct need for an athletic utility big like Robinson for the third string. The name is right, too.

    Over the last few years the Spurs have tried out marginal players throughout the first half of the season. I don't see any difference here except there could be slightly more of a need in this case with Hill's injury.

    1 by 1, all of Pop's pet projects are striking out. Simmons gone. Temple on his way out. I'm guessing Gary Neal will be the next to hit the skids.

    Why would I ask God this question on a message board?

    It's not like he nixed a Tyrus Thomas trade.

    48MoH chimes in.

    Spurs hand Bobby Simmons the pink slip, bring in another point guard
    by Andrew A. McNeill
    48 Minutes of

    Today’s announcement from the San Antonio Spurs is a curious one. Not the part about Bobby Simmons getting waived — that didn’t surprise me much — but that the Spurs signed point guard Chris Quinn. To the press release:

    The San Antonio Spurs today announced that they have signed point guard Chris Quinn. Per team policy, terms of the deal are not disclosed. At the same time, the Spurs announced that Bobby Simmons has been placed on waivers.

    I like this signing. and I do think it makes a lot of sense to balance the roster.
    I also don't expect much from Quinn, he is a 3rd stringer and it would be naive to think he will suddenly be more with the Spurs. but he does add some qualities to the roster. (that's why I use a depth chart with the position our players would play, if you want to use them based on their capabilities)
    Quinn is a true PG, most of our guards are SG, who can play some point.
    Quinn is smart, he can bring the ball and won't turn it over. never. Pop values that. that's what kept JV on the team. (and not his defense in the first place).

    I agree that the Quinn signing and the cutting of Simmons are two different moves. Spurs now even more lack a body at SF/PF. not a 3rd stringer like Quinn, those guys you find via free agency at this point. we need a 2nd stringer, or call it a legit back up. that player we can only get via trade.

    I don't think the team is as nervous about the lineup as posters here.

    Anderson is the backup SF. That's pretty clear.

    There are four active big men and Bonner will make it five when he comes back.

    I'd like it if they got someone else, but won't be surprised if they stand pat as far as rotation players go for months.
