Musical Toros.
DerMarr has definitely made some strides in the past couple of weeks. He is rebounding better and attacking the basket more while staying money from the arc.

I'm surprised it took this long. He's put up some decent numbers for the Toros.
ChumpDumper how long can the spurs keep doing this? Isn't there a deadline when they have to finalize the roster?
April.
Looks like we now have a long three.
Well, this should certainly pacify Sequ.
So now the sign/waive rotation of Washington/Williams/Langford has now added Johnson?
Every day keeps getting more interesting for the Spurs.
And kudos to DynastyBuilder for providing the appropriate sources in the 2nd straight story.
What did this guy average when he played for the nuggets?
Dermarr's stats:
His rebounding is crap, but his shooting is NBA calibur and he can defend, when motivated. With Pop, I don't see that being an issue.
My feeling is that he won't see any minute during the playoffs.
Knowing Pop, he will go with the 2007 playoffs rotation
We're not exactly a rebounding powerhouse, so he should fit right in.His rebounding is crap, but his shooting is NBA calibur and he can defend, when motivated. With Pop, I don't see that being an issue.
Any chance he sees a decent amount of minutes next game?
Yeah, I know. I was kind of hoping that the "long three" would bring rebounding with him. That would probably mean spending big bucks, though.
It's really strange. Why Spurs haven't signed Johnson instead of Williams 3 days ago ? I don't get it.
I really like the Johnson signing. Johnson is very long (6'9.5" with a 6'11.5" wingspan), is a good shooter, is quite athletic and is a good defender. He has a lot of the attributes of the mystical long SF. The knock on him is that he isn't a good rebounder but he mainly played SG with Denver and maybe he will be able to be a decent rebounder playing small ball PF.
Just trade Ginobili for Tayshaun Prince already. He's the long 3 we need...
You had to think something was up with Williams when he didn't even make it into the game yesterday. He was the only DNP.
It's good to give Johnson a try. He at least has some NBA experience and could help with our defensive miscues. Just hope he can be a quick study as we need his help tomorrow.
Its as if we have women running the front office. Good luck deciding on office decor.
Am I the only one who finds this picture strange?

Yeah, it's weird. Looking at it from the outside, this situation is pretty funny. It's like the Spurs are panic signing whoever does good on the Toros.
Washington plays well for the Toros so the Spurs call him up. While he's called up, Langford and Williams play well on the Toros so the Spurs waive Washington and call up those two guys. While Langford and Williams are away, Johnson does good so the Spurs sign him.
I'm hoping that there is some method to this madness. The Spurs need to realize that whoever they put at shooting guard on the Toros is going to put up nice stats. If the Spurs aren't careful they are just going to end up signing the whole Toros team by mid-January.
It's like the Spurs have a new toy but got too excited.
Yeah, DerMarr Johnson has long been a SpursTalk favorite. Other than being a poor rebounder, he has most of the other traits you'd want out of a Long Small Forward. Good shooter, athletic, moves well, decent ball handler and has the tools to be a good defender.
If Johnson were on the team when the Spurs played the Raptors, he probably would have ended up playing 30 minutes. The guy can score on the NBA level, that's never been a problem for him.
If Ginobili and Barry miss more time and the Spurs are desperate for offense, Johnson is a good option to have on the bench. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see him have some relatively big scoring games in the Spurs' system.
I think he'll be parked at the arc a lot. He'll definitely be easier to fit into the offense than Williams.
