Spurs trade future 2nd for Ray McCallum

[OG LeeTSkeeT]

Sources say San Antonio has agreed to a trade a future second-round pick to Sacramento for Ray McCallum to replace Cory Joseph. Seems like a good replacement. Young guard with starting experience.

[keep-itreal]

never heard of him

[Timmy D for MVP]

Oh nice. I was just talking about the need for wing help in the Kyle Anderson thread. I think McCallum can fit nicely into the Spurs system. :applause:

[Fudge]

If Matt Barnes and Shannon Brown fused, you'd get this lighty.

Spurs just got a nice prospect for basically free.

[RIP CITY]

I've never watched many Detroit University games but people here in Michigan rave about this guy and I remember a few Draft "Experts" liking him alot too. Based on that and the fact that it's the Spurs acquiring him, I expect he'll solidify their backup PG spot next season and prove to be a solid young player.

[Dr. Cheesesteak]

Kings... :facepalm

This summer has been full of brilliant moves and idiotic moves. GG

[Heavincent]

Dude was stuck on the Kings, so who knows, maybe he's actually decent.

[Svendiggity]

2nd round picks are worthless

guess the kings werent going to give this kid minutes

[JimmyMcAdocious]

Started 10 games his rookie year and the last 30 last year. Looks about 12/5/4 45/35/68 player with 25 mpg+.

All I know is he was a big recruit in high school and chose to play for his father in the Horizon league. Pretty athletic. He was impressive in the McDonalds dunk contest.

Especially if it's a Spurs 2nd. Probably will be 58-60th pick.

I recall this guy having a good stretch last year.

[Locked_Up_Tonight]

He plays hard out there. May be it is because he knows he won't get a ton of playing time, but his energy level is always high.

Good pick up for the Spurs for virtually nothing.

[OG LeeTSkeeT]

Spurs always finds diamonds in the rough guys.

[bdreason]

McCollum is legit. No idea why the Blazers would do this. :confusedshrug:

[iTare]

Yeah why would the Blazers do this?

[ClipperRevival]

This is McCallum with the Kings, not McCollum of the Blazers.

[JohnMax]

Bandwagon Choke-a-liers fans terrified with each Spurs addition

[bdreason]

This is McCallum with the Kings, not McCollum of the Blazers.


ahhh that makes more sense. :hammerhead:

[wally_world]

He's a legit backup guard. Good low-profile type of player for the Spurs.

[Spurs m8]

This is good and exactly what we needed.

I dont wanna jinx shit but **** the Spurs have executed this trade period to perfection, can't ask for anything else, this was the best possible scenario and they delivered.

Cheers

[KelticForce1349]

This is McCallum with the Kings, not McCollum of the Blazers.


...but that is why the question was sooooo interesting! Why would the Blazers do it? :confusedshrug:

[toxicxr6]

He is a good signing.... Young.. Cheap.. Has shown potential and will likely will fill the role well with the spurs.. He is pretty athletic which will help the Spurs a lot.

So Spurs roster so far
Parker/Ray/mills
Green/Manu
Leonard/Anderson
Alridge/west/Diaw
Duncan

Looking at that they need to sign a backup centre.. And maybe a player who can play backup SG/SF

If they can get any decent players for those roles it's looking like a very good roster

[Sportal]

Wow Kings...

Spurs are just absolutely winning this off-season, wtf.

[Spurs m8]

I'd more prefer

Parker/Ray(Mills)
Green/Mills/Manu
Leonard/Anderson
Alridge/west/Diaw
Duncan/(Diaw)

Manu can not, under any circumstances, be the second best option in that spot

EDIT - Just noticed Anderson there haha **** that guy being a 2nd option too

[GIF REACTION]

Now now...

Let's not go overrating Mr McCallum here... He's a good ball player, but he'll never be starter material. At best, 2nd string... Realistically... 3rd string. As a Kings fan I'd rather have Stockton or Miller. Both have unique skillsets that McCallum doesn't have.

Of course you going to say that cause your team just gave him away :facepalm :facepalm

One thing the Spurs have always done is get the absolute best out of their guards.. Somehow the coaching staff is capable of isolating their skill sets and pushing them to play a style that works to their strength

Look at these names
Parker
Manu
George hill
Roger mason
Cory Joseph
Patty mills
beno
Bellenelli

Now all these players looked very very good on the Spurs team.. Now let's look at mills, mason, hill, beno and marco..They all played their best basketball on the Spurs and looked like completely different players on other rosters

[BuffaloBill]

He will shine on the Spurs. Probably end up being better than Rondo

[GIF REACTION]

He won't shine on the Spurs. Will never be as good as Rondo.

[toxicxr6]

He won't shine on the Spurs. Will never be as good as Rondo.

Current rondo sucks ass.. I wouldn't even pay him the vet minimum....

[Anaximandro1]

more rest for Manu and Parker :applause:

[ShackEelOKneel]

[Leroy Jetson]

Looks like he has a lot of potential, great job Spurs!

[Levity]

Good size, and showed flashes of being a legit NBA starter. still, i feel he's destined for a career back up, but great pick up by the spurs, nonetheless. Mad king being the mad king.

[Crown&Coke]

Spurs straight cleaning up this off season. Got a legit ass pg for what will amount to one of the last picks in the draft.

This dude got game. The 20 or so games Parker will miss this upcoming year this dude will shine. He played well under the weird circumstances in Sactown. Give him the structure and business-like setting in SA and this dude will open some eyes.

[BurningHammer]

CoJo's replacement.

He is decent when having minutes though.

[wang4three]

I like his game. He'll be a nice scoring guard off the bench. If he learns from Tony, they can be similar players once Tony bows out of the game. He has the potential for sure.

The guy was a highly national recruit coming out of high school, a McDonald's All American even. He turned down big schools like Arizona, Florida, and UCLA to play for his dad who's the head coach of University of Detroit Mercy. Never got the national attention he could've gotten, but hopefully with the spotlight on San Antonio, excellent coaching, he can live up to his potential. Seems like a good kid.

[Miles and Miles]

I like Ray. Good player, hard worker, seems to know how to run a team. None of the Kings 14 Head Coaches seemed to like him and play him consistently enough. Ray seems like a good guy so I am happy for him and hopefully he gets an opportunity with the Spurs. Basically just clearing a few dollars for the Kings and hopefully helping out Ray's future.

Gary Neal another prime example.

Future FMVP?

Not if you're the Spurs.

[BlazerRed]

[Prime_Shaq]

Wasn't he actually decent for the Kings? Wtf is that management doing?

IDK man... Parker kinda sucked ass
