Training Camp kicked off with Media Day yesterday, so I guess it's about that time for Year 2 AD (After Duncan)

2017-2018 Season Schedule (Times listed are Central)




2017 Training Camp Roster





Goodbye to a few old faces....








Hello to some new blood......










The roster won't look dramatically different this year, but there is still some guesswork on who will make the final roster.

The locks seem to be:

Kawhi Leonard
LaMarcus Aldridge
Pau Gasol
Tony Parker
Manu Ginobili
Patty Mills
Kyle Anderson
Rudy Gay
Danny Green
Dejounte Murray
David Bertans


The next most likely to make the squad: (In no particular order)

Derrick White
Brandon Paul
Joffrey Lauvergne
Bryn Forbes



Amida Brimah, Matt Costello, Darrun Hilliard, and London Perrantes will have to really show something special.

Brimah and Costello have a real shot to make the team if they work their asses off. The squad is impossibly thin at the 4/5 positions

I'm going to miss David Lee and Jonathon Simmons but it is what it is. Hoping that some of these young players come into their own this year and make an impact.

Kawhi going for that MVP this year. Top 2 will be him and Lebron.

The Spurs are so far off the radar right now, even more than usual.

Not many are willing to acknowledge that this was probably the 2nd best team in the league last year and had a nice formula for beating the invincible Warriors...until Kawhi went down.

Now they add Rudy Gay who everyone has pretty much counted out. He's cleared and healthy now and could end up being a significant upgrade. Really if any of the young gaurds step up at all this team will be pretty awesome. It's true that everyone else in the league upgraded (except for Utah and the Clips). So it will be a very interesting regular season. I can't wait.

Can't wait for this season. I'm looking forward to see if Bertans can be a regular rotation piece. He's coming off some pretty good performances at the Euros.

So where's the depth inside? Gasol cant play a ton of minutes. How good are the other guys?

I think the Spurs constructed this roster with the intention of playing more small ball to keep up with the pace of today's game. Even Gasol dropped 10 pounds over the summer to be more mobile. My guess is that we won't see the traditional 4/5 on the court unless the Spurs play someone like the grizzlies or pelicans.

Agreed.

Leonard, Anderson, Bertans and Gay could all play the four in today's game.

Aldridge, Gasol and Lauvergne can play either 4 or 5.

With all the length across the board this team should be great defensively once again.

Welp, this doesn't sound good.

Kawhi Leonard is expected to miss the Spurs preseason because of right quadriceps tendinopathy, the team announced Saturday.

A timeline for his return to the court will be determined at a later date," the Spurs said in a press release.

Most games will be won by the team that scores more points.

Excited to see what the spurs 2nd Gay can provide

Aldridge best realize this is it for him

Gonna be a great year as the spurs will have the old cruise control set at 35

Saw an ESPN article about Aldridge finally talking to Pop about being unhappy and the latter saying he'd work on it and things should be better this year.

I really hope that face to face with Pop and LMA increases his confidence and desire to stay with the team. Hopefully he's out of the rut he was in and is ready to dominate again. If him, kawhi, gay, parker with a lil bit a manu sprinkled in for flare are playing at their best I think they're a tough team to beat no matter who the match up is.

*edit* also, hopefully Green has been shooting thousands upon thousands of 3's this year. That will make this spurs fan very happy!

With Danny and Patty so good this year it's going to be hard for either to win MVP. They'll split the votes.

Less than 10-days. I always think of the NBA starting at the end of October, not the middle.

It seems that Joffrey Lauvergne is the surprise of the preseason out of everyone we picked up.

And it looks like Forbes is picking up right where he left off in the summer league. It would be huge if he could crack the rotation and shoot lights out.

I'm excited for this season to start. This team is pretty deep. My guess is that we won't have a set rotation until the playoffs.

Two-way contracts were added to the NBA's Collective Bargaining Agreement and will go into effect for the 2017-18 season. Each team will now be able to have the standard 15 players on their roster, as well as up to two additional players on two-way contracts. Two-way players will spend the bulk of the season in the NBA G League,

I'm sure some of yall already knew this because I don't keep up with these kinds of things as much but it will give a little more flexibility with roster spots. Hilliard and Costello both signed 2 way contracts so I am sure they will start with Austin but see some time with SA throughout the season.

Yep. The season is starting early this year in an effort to reduce back to backs.

My dad played Top Golf with Tony today. Recovery is way ahead of schedule and he may see the court in November.

SAN ANTONIO The Spurs roster stands at the NBA maximum 17 after the team waived center Amida Brimah and guard London Perrantes on Thursday.
The Spurs signed Brimah Sept. 25. He averaged 3.0 points and 3.0 rebounds in 5.7 minutes over three preseason games.
Perrantes was signed Aug. 23. He averaged 1.0 points in 4.8 minutes over three preseason games.
There can be up to 15 regular NBA contract players on the roster (minimum 12) and up to a maximum of two two-way players.
Players who sign two-way deals will spend the bulk of the season in the NBA G League and not more than 45 days with their NBA team. The Spurs' two-way players are rookie forward/center Matt Costello and third-year guard Darrun Hilliard.

Kawhi is gonna have a rough start to his MVP campaign. He's been listed out of the season opener.

Preseason game against the rockets on TNT tonight.

Aldridge is looking better. Still refuses to bully his way to the rim when guarded by Harden though. So weird.

Dejounte Murray's shoulder to arm size ratio seems funky. Like someone photoshopped his shoulders to be larger.
