    Take it for what it's worth. For those who didn't know, him and LJC are working out with the Spurs in Vegas, but not playing for the SL team.

    It sounds exactly like what most of us thought, and that thought is, the Spurs don't want him to come over this year.

    The implication with his "next team" being his next European team. Hard to see how you infer anything different based on those tweets. Hopefully he gets as much workout time with the team as possible before he heads back over. But there's really no news here tbqh.

    Are you allowed to extend camp invites to players you hold the rights to without offering them a contract? And if you have to offer them a contract, do you lose the rights to them if they're cut? It would definitely be nice, just not sure if it's allowed.

    Nah, not dumb. I'm glad he's working out in Vegas with the team, and I'm not sure everyone knew it because it's probably only in the SL thread. I just don't think anything will come of it as far as this year's roster goes.

    So Bertans and LJC have fully recovered from their torn ACL's then? That's good news at least.

    I love the Bertans, LJC news! As much as i enjoy ragging on the spurs for not bringing them over yet. Working them out in Vegas is a bit pacifying.

    There's no minutes for new guys. The end of the bench is already filled as well. Where are the minutes? Tim might play less, probably will since it might be his farewell tour, same for Manu, but right now I don't see the extra minutes.

    I wouldn't care if they brought over Bertans just to sit on the bench. I think Spurs-quality practice, pre-season, garbage, and injury time are better for his development than any overseas time. But... Diaw has back issues, Anderson is a rookie, Ayers is Ayers, Daye could very well be a bust, and hopefully Bonner is gone. There's minutes to be earned if Bertans could get on the roster.

    No. To get him to camp, you have to sign him. If you sign him, and he doesn't make the roster, you relinquish your draft rights to him.

    No.
    And if you have to offer them a contract, do you lose the rights to them if they're cut?
    Yes.

    I suppose there is a small chance he plays for the Toros without signing a Spurs contract, but that would be a step backwards compe ion-wise

    First news I've heard of Diaw experiencing any back issues, please elaborate?

    How much of a step backwards. I have watched a couple Bertans games, and while he is interesting, I haven't been impressed with the level of compe ion that he was playing against. The team he just left couldn't even pay the players. Not exactly Europe's finest, it doesn't seem. But, then again, I don't watch much Euroball. Maybe that is some of the finest compe ion over there.

    Rignt now Bertans would look like De Colo on this team or even worse. He's not ready yet.

    Oh, yes. I remember that now. That was over a year ago, and he played all year with no complications. That was a cyst, not a ruptured disk, broken vertebrae, etc. He is fine and fully recovered from that. He may miss time this season, but I would bet hard cash it will not be from that procedure or any lingering ramifications from the cyst.

    i'll admit i was going off memory. i thought Diaws back issue had more linger potential.

    No prob, hopefully we have fewer injuries this year than last. Last year was a bear. We aren't getting off to a good start with Patty and Manu, for sure.
