poor decision...sounds like desperation to me...
Lol this is not good for bonner<<<pops new toy...
I thought they took that D-League guy as next in line for two 10 day contracts ... Novak brought nothing to the table what the Spurs need
Did not expect this at all....
Yuk, they couldn't do better than Novak? Better to sign youth with upside.
Mark Wahlberg's stunt double ftw!
While it's not a big deal at all, I don't like it.
Filling the roster with young D-League players has failled over and over in the past so I can get Spurs getting with vets but Novak?
Spurs roster is filled with shooters, adding another one is superfluous. I would have like way more Spurs signing a defensive minded player.
I love it, If Bonner goes limp in the playoffs as he has done the last 2yrs, you at least have another 6-10guy that you can throw in there for 5minutes or so to stretch the floor by jacking up a few 3's. Bonner, sadly is a big part of what the spurs like to do offensively. That is why the last 2yrs he has gotten 20+ minutes a game in the regular season/playoffs. In the playoffs he goes mia, so at least with novak you really wont be losing anything from an offensive standpoint. And Novak can play both forward positions and his defense is the same as bonners anyway. Good decision imo, but they still need and athletic 3/4 player imo.
I can't find a decent nickname for Novak
Don't like the the signing. Brings nothing to the team except a practice player. Won't even dress for playoff games unless there is an injury
His defense is worse and his rebounding is much worse than Bonner. Doesn't really matter since he won't be in uniform unless Bonner or one of the other bigs is injured.
of course it's the wrong decision.
He'll be a practice player more than who else they'd sign from a crappy DLeague?
We're talking about the 13th or 14th player, so it doesn't matter very much. Would have preferred to see a player that isn't just a lesser version of a player (Bonner) already on the team.

I'll tell you this right now . . .
If Novak gets PT in the playoffs over Anderson/Splitter, I am going to break into Pop's wine cellar and drink until the cops arrive.
With Quinn, Neal, Anderson, Novak and Bonner we can really spread the floor. 3p > 2p who cares about D?

I guess Novak will be the new Quinn with Spurs fans.
Don't like it.
Kapono not getting bought out ruined Pop's master plan tbh. He was ready to dominate with the "worthless white shooter" lineup.
If any of those three see more than garbage time in the playoffs I think Spursfans are going to need something stronger than vino.
Should've just signed Sean Marks.
Not really sure what the point of hanging on to Novak is, but whatever. If the Spurs playoff hopes rest on the 14th/15th guy on the roster than they're screwed whether that guy is Steve Novak or not.
