Spurs sign Joffrey Lauvergne

[sasaint]

This wheel could gain treads...

I thought he looked fairly promising ins his Denver days.

His OKC rebounding per game would probably be higher if he wasn't told to yield to Russell's MVP headhunt.

Per-36
2015 (DEN): 10.3
2016 (DEN): 10.0
2017 (OKC): 8.9
2017 (CHI): 10.2

Are we going to do something about the backcourt?

Are we going to do something about the backcourt?

The backcourt is set, though the players are god awful. Roster spots are running out and Aldridge, Bertans, Lauvergne are our only bigs signed so far...

C: Aldridge, Lauvergne
PF: Gay, Bertans
SF: Leonard, Anderson, Blossomgame*
SG: Green, Mills, Forbes
PG: Murray, White, Parker

*unguaranteed

3 roster spots left. Doubt anyone but Simmons, Manure, and Gasol take them.

What do you mean? We have Patty, Bryn Forbes, and Danny Green. We're set.

[I. Hustle]

Are we going to do something about the backcourt?

Yeah! Let's do it! What's your game plan chief? What can we do as fans to get this party started?! You did say we, right? I am so down!

[Down Under]

I think only one of Simmons or Manu comes back, they're running out of roster spots.

If that's the case, welcome back Juice!

Hopefully it's a short term deal. I really don't think this offseason has gone that badly. Mills is good value if Parker either retires or takes a mentor role after next season. Gay could be a more effective player if he focuses on D & less on ISO offense which he will have to (as well as being a bench player). Laveurgne is worth taking a flyer on as a dive man which we really need. People always have to remember this isn't a destination that even mid-tier free agents come to, so saving cap space for next season isn't as crucial as some may make out.

Btw not sure where this idea that he is a stretch 4 or something come from tbh... he does not stretch too much except his asshole.

anyway with a 3 M it's a safe signing, noting much to lose except a roster spot and he is young so yeah

[MaNu4Tres]

Manu will be coming back for around 4 million.

Its not either or.

[CGD]

What's his defensive situation?

[dabom]

Yup hes basically Bonner without d 3pt range

So uhh.. like bonner?

[sasaint]

If that's the case, welcome back Juice!

Please, Juice and not Manu!

It's cause teams have tried to use him as a stretch 4 when he's clarly not. Probably because hes a euro 4.

I agree my friend. He needs to retire. He has a couple good games in a talentless team with up tempo offense where anyone and there momma would of got good looks. It was pick up ball the last two games. See Memphis... With actual defenders he couldn't score. It would be a waste of a spot. If your gonna give him a loyalty contract, save him for the playoffs. Would hate to just give a rotation spot to him.

Manu "rusts" so fast though. He'll miss a game, come back, play like for 3 games, then say he's "rusty". So you're stuck having to constantly play him rather than resting him for long periods of time. He wouldn't be ready for the playoffs if Pop did that.

Honestly, he should just retire.
