VERY GENEROUS OF PETER HOLT).

Exactly. That's the point of making them sign the 2-year deal (the same that every player does when training camp starts. They can look at them all the way til January without guaranteeing them anything (in this case they guaranteed them a token amount -- VERY GENEROUS OF PETER HOLT).

He was 90 miles away the whole season. Granted, I don't know all the Spurs' scouting staff, but I didn't see anyone I recognized outside of RC at Toro games, and that was one scheduled appearance. Rudy T was there alot, but he's recognizable.
It's a great deal for guys like Jamar and Rich though. They can go back to the D-League and not starve next season.
Yeah I was being sarcastic to the Holt Busters. But they could have very well had them sign two-year unguaranteed deals. So it is a little generous.

I think if Melzer shows that hes coachable, hes athletic, and can defend?
I think hes an IR guy.
Jamar Smith could be another Udonis Haslem.
I don't think there's enough roster spots for either guy to make the team in the fall.
I think if Jamar shows signs of being another Haslem, that might be taken into consideration.
Who can tank a season with Tim, Manu and Tony healthy...or even semi-healthy? You can't get enough lottery balls.
Well, how long did it take for the Mario Elie's and the Avery Johnson's of the NBA to really establish themselves -- mid 20's?
Cheaper...maybe less of a risk. I don't know really.
You can't get into the Spurs front office's heads...but it looks like they're pretty happy with the roster and don't want to overspend for a Javtokas. Instead they're happy getting guys who fill certain roles and are cheap...and not that big of a risk. Like this kid. I guess. I don't know.
I don't really care, either. Melzer or Melvin...whoever wants to high-five Duncan when he walks off the floor...I couldn't care less.
spurs=enough money for a Valero cashier
He's taking the dedicated Kiwi slot as towel boy and gatorade passer.
217 replies to a Rich Melzer thread. I'm sure he's enjoying this.
Hey, he's got training camp money. I'd be happy.
I don't know much about him I would say he doesn't stand much of a chance based purely on his name. Not ethnic or foreign enough also sounds too white.
The thing I like about him he is a converted PF -- with the rebounding and in his case shotblocking that entails -- who already has some SF skills - namely perimeter shooting. He could be an interesting project should we keep him.
If we sign Elson and Butler we'd be at 14 players, hopefully we can package a couple players in a trade or else just waive eric williams. I'd like to see both guys make this team over Williams or Melvin Sanders.
We are overloaded with power forwards. Unless we get rid of one there is no use for Jamar this season. Giving him $100k is something he'll probably remember though, and it will allow him to stay in Austin next season to likely start all year at PF.
I like the idea of going from no long threes to two long threes -- I have no problem keeping Eric Williams for awhile or Melzer if he continues to show potential. Of course if the right trade came along....
good on him on getting signed by the spurs, melzer was definatly one of the better players on the breakers but not in the nbl
Yes, but without the jumpshot. He couldn't hit jack when he was at Maryland, but I love his hustle mentality and do whatever it takes to win at ude.
Who is Melzer? Sounds like something I need to cure a hangover!
TP, Manu, Bowen, TD, Elson, JV, Fin, Melzer,Bonner, Beno, Horry, Oberto...These guys will hopefully be on the roster with trade coming for barry and williams contract for either sf and/or possibly a center!!
Jaque Vaughn
williams is going to be traded
williams still has not been heard from
that might open a lot open for jamar
You saw it before I had a chance to delete it. It took me about ten seconds after I hit "submit" to figure it out.
