Hopefully no more injuries. I guess Lalanne might be coming aboard after all.
ASVEL Villeurbanne announced the signings of Edouard Choquet and Stephane Gombauld who penned his first contract as pro.

This is ridiculous. What are we going to do at the PF position?!
No idea tbh.
Interesting. So does this mean he's released from the first round guaranteed dollars? I would think that's their only reason for not bringing him over now. His defensive instincts are legit, but he does need another year (or two) of development on the offensive end. I think he could've been decent depth and developed in Austin, but I'm not second-guessing the FO.
I think Chinook may have overstated their loss and his ability to force that move. Bruno seemed to feel as if they can leave him over one more year without any negative repercussions wrt salary/rights. <Shoulder Shrug>
Lalanne and he were being mistaken for each other in the summer league games. Lalanne is a little more well-rounded, so maybe if they are going to go with one young, raw, defensive PF-C tweener, they decided on the one that can throw it in the ocean, at least. They'll work on his shot a little and on vertical D instead of slapping?
Meh, I personally think being with the team and in Austin would have helped him more.
Lalanne looked better than LJC in the first summer league game.
Who cares? He sucks. The only reason people think he's good is because sa drafted him. His shot blows. Worse than udoka
Exactly!
We can't have our only true center be a 40 year old who is paradoxically the greatest power forward ever.
SF position is the elephant in the room as many have eluded to. Can't wait to see what PATFO does to address it.
Maybe we'll get one or two in free agency.
From your mouth to God's ear.
So many posters here were sure that LJC would make the roster. His shooting in the summer league is a big letdown.
Yep...those guys we signed ing suck. We're screwed.
May have, but it would have taken up a roster spot where we can potentially put a true center, shooter, playmaker/combo/point guard. LJC would have been interesting defensively, and as a backup for Kawhi if he could guard at 3, but the horrendous offense probably just made him a no-go/liability? Guessing.
Some of the misses were really bad.
Looks like LJC failed his unofficial tryout. Better luck next year, kid.
Doubt the Spurs are going to find anybody with his free roster spot that's actually gonna contribute. Would have been nice to have a 3/4 defender with the ability to protect the rim. They definitely won't find anybody with more upside.
Not really a big deal, I just think it would have accelerated his development had he stayed with the team this upcoming season.
Ugh Eurocup again.. It's impossible to find any decent streams (or any at all) to watch those games.
Since they have the roster spots, Spurs will likely roll with Lalanne as the PF project...either on a cheap deal or as a Austin Spur.
And that's if he even plays over there. I agree, it would be nice to have him here in Austin, that way he at least gets playing time. Hopefully, this has been a learning experience for him and becomes something he can build off of.
Laughing at all the scrubs spoofing over his middling showings in two Summer League games, who think he can guard Durant and who think the Front Office would rather pay him to rot on their own bench rather than have someone else pay him to actually develop somewhere else. What team do you think you're watching?
