Maybe PATFO's working on getting him signed in Austin, I hope
Dude needs to come back to the states and go to the Toros so he can start learning the Spurs way. Playing in Europe can be good experience, but not if you're not getting run or are bouncing around teams constantly.Report: Ryan Richards experiment ends in Poland.
Alright, it's time for Ryan Richards to come home. Well, no, not Great Britain. It's time for Ryan Richards to get his ass stateside, preferably to Austin. The continent of Europe seemingly doesn't agree with him. According to Emiliano Carchia of Sportando, Richards and Polish club Asseco Prokom Gdynia, have "parted ways."

I fear he is not typical Spurs material ...
Baynes>Richards
Richard at his best is a poor man version of Lamar Odom
and not the sixth man of the year odom
the current version
Ryan got every opportunity to step up. The Spurs were practically begging him to act like he wanted it.
He didn't.
Sure sounds like he's learned nothing, and he gave the same effort in Poland. Jackie Butler mk II.
Good news is, he is not signed to a contract, so we won't have to dump a prospect to get rid of him from our salary cap...
Doesn't seem like Richards will be suiting up for the Spurs anytime soon. A shame, given this guy's physical talent.
lol draft bust, playin against scrubs to get drafted
goes to europe playing in ty league
at the end of the day it was either europe club salary or toros money....
I can't be the only one who has seen this acronym and just skimmed over it without knowing what it means or where it came from. Finally had to spend 30 seconds and several clicks to find out:
PATFO - (Popovich And The Front Office) coined by J.R. Wilco after finally getting tired of not having an easy way to refer to Pop, RC and the rest of the brains that make the Spurs' engine tick, off the court.

^^ Thank you
Why the is it Pop and the rest of the guys? Is Pop the brain behind all the scouting or something?
You're seriously asking if Pop is involved in personnel decisions?
I don't get why he's singled out is all.
Makes for a better acronym.
Seriously?
Pop is the President of Spurs Basketball and reports directly to ownership. Everyone else that has anything to do with basketball operations reports, directly or indirectly, to Pop.
I think the starification of Pop is annoying, drafting wise we know he didn't want to draft TP and then he wanted to trade him, the only player he ever developed. Just saying he's not the end all be all.
Well you certainly curtailed his profile when you chose your screen name.I think the starification of Pop is annoying, drafting wise we know he didn't want to draft TP and then he wanted to trade him, the only player he ever developed
Has Paranoid Pop ever watched a spurs game or even read the Spurs wikipedia article?
Consistently brings the embarrassing mistakes that could be corrected by simple googling.
richards didn't get enough minutes in summer league. i wanted to see him play. i had to look up who did...
it was wikerson, dawson, and zeller. zeller sucked, he looked like bonner on a bad night. wilkerson was good. i liked him better than dawson. ajinca and richards only averaged 10 mins a game. wilkerson, dawson, zeller averaged 20! way too many minutes for dawson and zeller. ajinca and richards needed a better look.
richards should come over and get some run in the dleague. maybe we don't need white or ross/bargnani? spurs could get a 2nd for blair, and use the open roster spot to have that good look richards/ajinca never got. if they don't pan out we have an extra spot and an extra pick for next summer league.
Richards has his basketball future in his own hands. He's done nothing to this point to justify a spot on an NBA roster or an NBA paycheck.
what would a little ol' 10 day contract hurt? his signing rights?
He was drafted by the Spurs. They can't sign him to a 10 day, waive him, and retain their rights. Doesn't work that way.
We don't have an open roster spot to give a 10-day contract to him. Also, yes... signing him to a 10-day contract and cutting him would give up our rights to him. He can, I believe, come to the Dleague on his own and try to make a team for roughly 30k a year until he's good enough
his poland team was full of chucking guards ..............
