"People are talking about what I gave up," West told Yahoo Sports, "but not as much about what I've gained here."

Well said, David.

That last roster spot will definitely be interesting to watch. Especially with a team like the Spurs who at times like to keep that 15th spot open for future use.

Jimmer and Rasual Butler obviously the favorites to earn that spot. I am very interested to see how DeShaun Thomas looks in camp. Spurs obviously are pretty high on him extending an invite and he looks to be in great physical shape.

Simmons obviously got the guaranteed deal but that doesn't necessarily mean he's completely safe considering the low amount of that deal. Although, anyone who watched the Spurs in Summer League knows the talent he flashed there.

Apparently the Spurs and Pop extended over 20 invites to different coaches to come watch camp this year. A coach from Argentina also posted about this.

Very cool.

F-Rasual Butler





Rasual Butler gave me his wristband once. I didn't ask for it and I didn't need it but he gave it to me. And I kept it and am sorta proud of it because he's one of my current favorite journeyman NBAers. In his prime he was a poor man's Ime Udoka or a homeless man's Bruce Bowen.

Listening to West's interview has me really excited about him. He is going to be a great asset off the bench.

Looks like Vegas moved us ahead of the Warriors with 3/1 odds to win the ship.

Pop on staying committed to the Spurs:

quote:
quote:
"Signing LaMarcus [Aldridge], I had to make a commitment," Popovich said. "I couldn't say, 'LaMarcus, we would love to sign you, see you later.' So I committed to those guys and I committed to LaMarcus. So, I've got to fulfill my promise."
Popovich has four seasons left on his contract that he said he would coach through the end of the deal.

Wonder if that's because of Kerr's leave of absence.

Also everyone should read that Grantland article Sher posted. One of the best about Pop I've seen.

Jimmer Q&A

Always liked him since his days at BYU, hopefully he can make the team. Seems like an ideal replacement for Marco.
