Jonathan Feigen: Rockets forward DeMarre Carroll is questionable to play vs. Clippers with an illness.
Joe Harris: I think you’ve seen it year after year where we’ve brought in D’Lo, Ed Davis, DeMarre Carroll, Allen Crabbe, players that weren’t here from the very beginning but they were able to seamlessly adapt, buy in to what was going on and then you see it again now with Kyrie and Kevin, DeAndre, Wilson, Garrett. It takes a little bit of time obviously, but it is sort of a seamless transition. I think at the end of the day it’s because Kenny and Sean, they don’t take chances on guys that might have questionable character. It’s always, all right, this guy, they’ll fit, they’ll buy in, and you see that year in and year out since you’ve been here.
Mark Berman: Agent Mark Bartelstein (@prioritysports) on @DeMarre Carroll joining the #Rockets:”They’re a championship contender.He fits in perfectly with the style of ball they play.Daryl & Mike aggressively pursued him. He’s got a lot in the tank & he’s really excited to get the opportunity”
Tom Orsborn: It didn’t work out here for DeMarre Carroll, but DeRozan says he’ll be missed: “I’ve known DeMarre since college, we came in together, played w/ him in Toronto. Just a great guy. It’s part of the league. Everyone comes and goes, but friendships and memories last forever.”
John Hollinger: Hearing that DeMarre Carroll gave back $761k in Spurs buyout. Will be prorated over the three years of his deal. Spurs have 48 hours to decide whether to stretch remaining $7.36M cap hit evenly over five years, or retain current structure ($6.12M next year, $1.24M in 2020-21)
Bobby Marks: Cap hit on the DeMarre Carroll waiver in San Antonio (if the stretch provision is not used): 🏀2019/20: $6.8M (was $7M) 🏀2020/21: $6.2M (was $6.65M) 🏀2021/22: $1.2M (was $1.35M) The 2020/21 salary will be reduced if Carroll signs for the minimum exception or more.
Spurs waive DeMarre Carroll
Larry Ramirez: San Antonio #Spurs waived DeMarre Carroll.

Shams Charania: Forward DeMarre Carroll intends to sign with the Houston Rockets after he clears waivers, league sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium.
The Spurs explored trading Carroll, but the Feb. 6 league deadline for teams to broker deals passed without any movement. Asked if he was surprised a trade didn’t happen, Carroll said, “Yeah, but no. Me being 33 and being in the league 11, 12 years, I know the NBA. If you really want to trade somebody, the biggest thing you have to do is maybe show their value, play them a little bit. Not playing really hurt my value a lot. It got a lot of teams probably second-guessing and saying, ‘Is he hurt? Is something wrong with him?’ ”
Asked if a buyout is a possibility, a tricky situation given how much money remains on his contract, Carroll said he visited with his agent, Mark Bartelstein, in Chicago during All-Star Weekend. “He is handling that,” Carroll said. “Him and (Spurs general manager) Brian (Wright) and all of them. I don’t know what direction we are going to go. But at the end of the day, at 33, I don’t want to waste my talents just sitting at the end of the bench, knowing I could help a team produce.”
Make no mistake: The 11th-year pro isn’t ready to retire. “Another opportunity will come for me,” said Carroll, 33. “San Antonio, I don’t know where (it went wrong), what happened, what the hiccup was. But, at the end of the day, I am totally healthy. I work out every day, twice a day. When that opportunity comes, I will be ready to take advantage of it.”
Spurs shopping DeMarre Carroll and Marco Belinelli?
With a team salary of roughly $123 million, the Spurs are not in the luxury tax, but they do have two wings and a shooter that could become future draft pick assets. The Spurs are working with DeMarre Carroll’s agent Mark Bartelstein of Priority Sports & Entertainment to find a new home for the forward, who signed a three-year, $20 million deal last offseason. Carroll, 33, hasn’t found any playing time with the Spurs and is looking to move on, and the team is also shopping 3-point specialist Marco Belinelli. As of now, no serious suitors have stepped up as Belinelli is considered a significant defensive liability.
Paul Garcia: Chimezie Metu and Drew Eubanks are on the active roster tonight. Though he’s no longer on the injury report, DeMarre Carroll is on the inactive roster.
Tom Orsborn: Rudy Gay has been upgraded to probable after missing last three games with an illness, per #Spurs. DeMarre Carroll (illness) remains out.
Tom Orsborn: DeMar DeRozan on DeMarre Carroll’s attitude after not getting any playing time through the first 3 games: “DeMarre is the ultimate vet. Always positivity, always working hard. Whenever his name is called, I have no doubt he will be ready.” #Spurs

Paul Garcia: With Morris and Carroll, the Spurs are now $19 million over the salary cap. They’re $4.1 million below the luxury tax line and $10.3 million from the hard cap.
The San Antonio Spurs today announced that they have acquired forward DeMarre Carroll from the Brooklyn Nets. In the three-team deal, San Antonio sends forward Davis Bertans to Washington and the draft rights to Nemanja Dangubic to Brooklyn, while the Wizards send the draft rights to Aaron White to the Nets.
Bobby Marks: San Antonio would create a trade exception from sending out Davis Bertans to Washington. The exception would allow the Spurs to take back DeMarre Carroll in a sign-and-trade.
Bobby Marks: The trade allows SAS to preserve the midlevel exception.
DeMarre Carroll: First Day meeting the Family in San Antonio… I have to admit their Performance Staff is pretty Amazing..
DeMarre Carroll: BROOKLLLLYNNN, Where do I start… You all have been great to me! We went from an irrelevant ball team to being a Free Agent Fantasy… Sean Marks, Kenny Atkinson, and the entire Nets Organization and fans THANK YOU.. Now, I move on to the SPURS family..San Antonio Let’s Work💯💯 pic.twitter.com/yraDW6va1P
Shams Charania: Carroll is signing a two-year, $13M deal with the Spurs, league sources said.
Do you have a prediction on what’s going to happen with you, D’Angelo Russell and the rest of the guys? DeMarre Carroll: No prediction, but we’ll see. My agent, Mark Bartelstein, he’ll make sure he gets me in the right position and the right place. If it’s in Brooklyn or if it’s not, he’s going to make sure that I’m taken care of and I’m successful. Hopefully for DLo – if it’s not here if it’s somewhere else – I think he earned himself a max deal. He earned himself a max deal to take care of his family for the rest of their life. He’s just got to enjoy the moment and enjoy whether it’s here or somewhere else.
Regarding your future in free agency, what’s going through your mind as we’re nearing it? DeMarre Carroll: I think the biggest thing for me is to try and enjoy it. This might be one of my last big free agency deals that I get, so I’ve got to try and enjoy and let my wife enjoy it because she didn’t get to enjoy the last one. I think she’ll probably get to pick this one, so it’ll be interesting to see what happens. We’re just excited to go into free agency.
What are you looking for in free agency? DeMarre Carroll: At the end of the day, I’m just looking for stability and just to make sure my family is happy. Like I said before, this is going to be my last kind of big deal, so I’ve got to make sure I set myself up financially on this deal. We’ll see what happens. How many more years do you want to play in the league? DeMarre Carroll: I really haven’t thought about it. At the end of the day, you let your body do a lot of the talking. This performance staff in Brooklyn really helped me gain more years and got a lot more out of my body and I know the things to do. I’m just excited to go into free agency. I think I’ve got a good relationship with this performance team here in Brooklyn. They really helped me put more years on my career, so I’m happy about it.
Do you think one day we’re going to see a female coach or a GM? DeMarre Carroll: For sure. A female coach or a GM for sure. Soon. And as you should. You see a lot of male coaches go coach in the WNBA, so why can’t a female coach in the NBA? We’ll see. Our league is evolving. We’re becoming a global league and I think it’ll happen sooner than later.
DeMarre Carroll: Side note: Whoever thought Golden State is better without KD needs to be banned from NBA basketball...

2009 NBA re-draft: The way it should have been
There’s six All-Stars and two MVPs from the 2009 draft class.
Carroll says he sees it as well. The veteran wondered about Russell’s approach and professionalism before he shared a locker room with him. Not anymore. “Before I thought he was just like a knucklehead. Now, he’s right next to me all the time [in the locker room],” Carroll said. “He’s got a good heart. All these things people said about him, they really don’t know him on a personal level. “Sometimes you can do things and they can blow up in a bigger light than what you expected. I think some of the things he regrets. But I think at the end of the day, him coming to New York, a different scenery, having good vets around, a good group around him, now he understands where he stands in the game of basketball.”
