Chriss is being waived.
We’ve already jumped up one spot to 7. We also are better equipped for the compressed schedule than most. We deep.
Chriss is being waived.
Sauces
Dieng's weaknesses: Robotic on both ends. Can be a ballhog at times on offense. Not a swift perimeter defender. When he was younger, basketball IQ was a big problem. It has gotten better but can still be an issue. He turned 31 in January so he's not a youngster.
But on paper he's pretty much a perfect backup for Poeltl. He can shoot. He even has a bit of a postup game. He's strong and rebounds well. He's a better passer than you'd expect. Good post defender. Runs the court pretty well.
If he fits, he's probably worth re-signing on a two-year contract. Bigs of his ilk age pretty well ... and he inexplicably (at this point) picked the Spurs so that has to be worth something
I like it he killed us in Memphis this year takes awake that from them at least
Having an obvious counter to the 2-3 aside from Rudy at the 5 where the spurs get outrebounded and destroyed in the paint is huge
A lot of situational adjusting that can be done now.
The type of addition to a roster at a key time that can have an impact beyond the box score output. Having a center that can give completely different looks to a defense instead of 2 energy bigs with limited range takes pressure off the entire roster.
can’t believe the stars aligned. Take the role that was envisioned behind Jakob for LA and the spurs got a more capable, younger, and better player to fill it.
Spurs will def look to resign him. He does seem like a perfect spur player

We’re not as deep as you think and it doesn’t help when the coach has obvious favoritisms that shorten the bench. We’re also 2 losses away from being out of the top 8.
I understand. At the end of the season, Chriss will be brought back, pretty much sliding into lyle’s current spot in the roster..
Warriors paid more than his remaining salary in cash. So basically warriors paid chris's salary + premium. Spurs get to keep the premium.
So Memphis didn't do a buyout? Just waived him? What was the incentive for that?
Spurs are makng the playoffs bruh! Believe!
So I guess the plan was to keep Chriss and cash in on that juicy insurance money unless something unexpected happened. Something unexpected happened.
Golden State spent only like $3.2 million to dump Wanamaker and Chriss ... so the Spurs, by waiving Chriss, didn't even profit that much in the trade. They would have profited a lot more by keeping Chriss.
It's safe to say the Holts aren't on food stamps. Good sign.
Chriss might be the most anti-Spur player in the league. Can't see that happening, tbh. If they liked Chriss at all, they could have just waived Reynolds. Waiving Chriss lost the Spurs quite a bit in insurance money. Waiving Reynolds would have been a couple dollars.
So guessing minimun deal for the remainder?
we’ll see.
Spurs aren’t going to sign a guy with a YouTube NBA fight compilation video. They only traded for him because of the cash considerations. By waiving him, they forfeited even Early Bird rights.
Horrible signing. We should be all in for the tank.
nice
Playoffs or bust for sa
Well, you lose money in a buyout.
Why did Memphis cut him loose if he is useful?

Thedrewshow posts in this thread are entertaining per usual and he's gonna on me for thinking different, but it's okay my friend, we can all disagree sometimes...that's what makes it a community. Love you, Drew!
Love this signing. Probably the best backup center that was available.
The meltdown over the Chriss trade in retrospect is funny.
