Spurs signed him to a 2 year deal in July 2012, so I'm pretty sure he's just a FA now, if he were to come back.


I thought we offered him a QO:

I'd imagine the chances of Nando playing for us going forward is pretty low, n'est pas?

Why not? Masai has given a QO the past two summers for a reason and it's possible that Nando wants another shot at finding a role for himself in the greatest league in the world, especially if he feels like he improved on his game from where he left.

His 3 ball looks vastly improved from where it was. 43% at FIBA this summer and 47% in Euroleague last year. Add that with his slashing and passing we saw during his short stint with us before and you have an intriguing bench player with size to play either guard spot.

I'm not saying he doesn't have the skills, more like do we have a roster spot for him and is he actually interested?

I don't think Nando would like the idea of playing behind Joseph again.
