That didn’t take long. The 2019 NBA Free Agency period opened at 5 PM CT today, and the Spurs had two roster spots to fill. One went to the re-signing of Rudy Gay, and not long after the other went to veteran combo forward DeMarre Carroll. Carroll’s signing adds some much-needed toughness, defense and depth on the wing: all things the Spurs were sorely lacking last season.
Another thing Carroll’s signing does is leave the Spurs with just one true center on the roster in Jakob Poeltl, plus another more than capable fill-in in LaMarcus Aldridge.
