Haven't watched pre-season, but I thought he did a decent job in Cleveland tbh
Osman only has one year left on his contract, at $6.7 million, and at 28 years old he's Methuselah on this roster, but he looked great with Doug McDermott off the bench in the first preseason game. I see how his game fits what Pop wants to do -- get guys slashing, moving around, making quick passes and decisions.
The Spurs got a 2nd round pick for absorbing his salary/facilitate the Miami-Cleveland trade of Max Strus, but I believed the Spurs wanted to keep him. He's known to be hot-and-cold, but as a bench asset that's perfectly fine.
Here's to Jeddy.

I actually liked what I saw. He's a vet who plays smart basketball, can pass, shoots from the range and likes to mix it inside also.
But I guess he's not exempted when they decide who to move in the trade deadline for some picks, Graham, Doug, Cedi
interested to see how the rotation shakes out at full strength...he and doug are both on expirings and fill a similar role. Without taking Doug's skillset for granted as a knockdown shooter and cutter, I think Cedi can do a lot of the same things with the benefit of being a little younger, having a bit more shot creation in his bag, and providing more defensively but I'll need to see more.
Good problem to have. Doug stays healthy and we might be able to cash in.
Osman looked good and is a useful counter for teams with similar sized white guys with floppy hair and the capability to be annoying like that guy OKC had. It is important to have a large white wing player with good size and physicality in that regard. It better enables us to effectively counter any annoying type of thing other teams will throw at us. While Doug has a little of that, his hair is too short and he is more of a finesse player by comparison.
Not knowing much about him I thought he was just trade fodder but the dude looked better and more aggressive than I expected.
He played well against the Spurs when Cleveland visited last year. He seemed more Spursy than Bullock.
yep. bullock fits into the more traditional 3&D archetype, while Osman is a much better connector piece, but by extension, a little harder to define an exact role for
Not a huge Osman fan, but he seems to be in the team's plans moving forward at some level.
A keeper for now.
I still think he'll be a deep bench guy most of the time but he's serviceable and I agree that his play style fits what Pop likes
Yeah I agree.. it's the floppy hair. Manu had one too and it was glorious
He hustles, which will in him points.
He hustles in order to get back in order to get dunked on, thus he is over himself. More points.
The team defense didn't look great when he was on the floor.
Belinelli vibes confirmed.
When I saw him and Doug on the floor playing off each other, it reminded me of Marco and manu coming off the bench, cutting and passing. It was beautiful.
Just 2 games but kind of a perfect fit so far.
pretty much exactly what you want off the bench
He made some glaring give ups in prime spots to boot.
I’d 100% offer a 2 year extension.
dudes just a solid damn bench guy. Perfect fit.
Really like this guy.
not to bad
has really impressed so far. Can do a little bit of everthing. A way better plug-and-play guy than spurstalk's favorite KBD
