Bertans deal for Minimum

[raybies]

750050198831960064

[BillMc]

Hopefully its multiple years

[raybies]

Sorry it says near minimum

[SpursFan86]

The article just says he's "willing to get a salary near the minimum"...so I don't think him taking the minimum is a sure thing at this point.

At least two years, I agree

Not sure how much will be left when the Spurs dump Diaw and waive Duncan, then include Pau's 15M. 5-6M, no? Chinook

[r0drig0lac]

Yes, that is accurate, though it's closer to $7 Million.

[Raven]

he's not worth even a cent more tbh.

[TheGoldStandard]

Should mean he will get signed for Summer League Vegas?

[Bartleby]

His three point shooting % is out of this world. Just hope his legs hold up.

[John B]

Bertans >>>>> Bonner and he can run with the small ball.

[SAGirl]

Are we getting Boban back?Not sure on that but he could have fit in to an exception previously. Him and Manu are still in question $ wise.

Too bad we couldn't get a longer deal with Bertans, but he has issues of his own of durability and is unproven in this league. Once he proves himself in both fronts, he will be expensive to keep but in 2 years the entire Spurs current support cast could be changing anyways.

Welcome Bertans!!! Happy to see you in Spurs!

I hope to see him in SL!

Okay now that I see it laid out, not a bad looking roster, with the Baltic/Balkan additions.

Just need Parker to 'stay in his lane' and let that Kawhi guy handle the end of game offense, and I see another 67+ win total.

Thinking the same thing, I am hoping the Spurs ship him for LACs 2017 picks. Decent chance that pick will end up being around 25.

Utah makes plenty of sense too, they don't have much behind Golbert and Favors. They have a slew of picks if Toronto and Utah both pursue Diaw then Utah could give us both GSWs '17 1st round pick (certainly 30th) and maybe Detroit's second round pick ( top 45 possibly)

The biggest difference between Bertans and Bonner is that Bertans not afraid to shoot. He doesn't care if he missed his 5 previous threes or if a defender is right on his hip. You definitely won't have to beg him to take open shots.

That'd be a steep price to pay and a disappointment. They should have the cap space to give him a $4M/2 deal with pure cap space, even accounting for everything else.

Yes, and that's what I've been assuming for a long time. The room exception is quite a bit bigger than that, though. The reason why it would be a disappointment is because it could break up what is actually a pretty good asset, when they'd have the cap room is Duncan just made his damned decision. Who the hell needs until 7/10 to make up their minds? That's just so random.

At least something happened today. Good to see things getting ironed out.

Bench unit is starting to look more solid....Mills/Simmons or Manu/Bertans/Anderson/???.

Question now is whether Duncan returns, or if the Spurs can retain Boban. Frankly, one or the other needs to happen, or we will have a big hole to fill.

You're right on everything you said...but ease up on Timmy. He's the GOAT he can do whatever he wants at anytime..the ultimate exception

Forbes or Mills/Danny/Bertans/Kawhi/Gasol

[Chinook]

You're right on everything you said...but ease up on Timmy. He's the GOAT he can do whatever he wants at anytime..the ultimate exception

Forget that. He could have done whatever he wanted while opting out. He chose to put money into this cap situation, and he really does owe it to them to be reasonable with this decision, especially considering they're about to give him a fortune to sit at home.

[ElNono]

Manu should get the room exception, tbh

[coachmac87]

Forget that. He could have done whatever he wanted while opting out. He chose to put money into this cap situation, and he really does owe it to them to be reasonable with this decision, especially considering they're about to give him a fortune to sit at home.

Well you're ignoring the fact that he's torn. We're talking about one of the greats contemplation if he wants to continue..seems like there's still a little fire. I don't care what the Spurs do rest of season if I get to see 21 play a "official" final year I'd do it.

[DPG21920]

Parker/Danny/Kawhi/LMA/Pau

Bench for sure: Mills/Murray/Simmons/Kyle

If Bertans gets cap space, Manu gets Room Exception that gives SA a bench of:

Mills/Manu/Simmons/Kyle/Bertans/Murray

That is only 11 players and at least two bigs short with nothing but minimum contracts and trades to fill the holes.

[kobyz]

He doesn't move without the ball as well as Korver, he's more like ST favorite washed up Keith Van Horn w/ a quicker release.:lol

Mills/Manu/Simmons/Kyle/Bertans/Murray

That is only 11 players and at least two bigs short with nothing but minimum contracts and trades to fill the holes.

Don't forget that either Tim is a Spur, or they likely can afford another decent free agent, or at least keep Boban.

[ElNono]

This site has both Bertrans and Ryan Arcidiacono signed for the minimum:

http://www.spotrac.com/nba/san-antonio-spurs/cap/

Looks like they update pretty much instantly too, which is nice, if correct (personally have no connection with the site)

[DPG21920]

Don't forget that either Tim is a Spur, or they likely can afford another decent free agent, or at least keep Boban.

That's right, because if Manu takes the RE, then SA would have ~4M in cap space even after Bertans if he's getting the min or close.

In your scenario you have Tim at 2M in cap space because he's stretched correct.

[ElNono]

Also, if they really did give Arci a contract, moving Mills could be in play...

[Dex]

Well you're ignoring the fact that he's torn. We're talking about one of the greats contemplation if he wants to continue..seems like there's still a little fire. I don't care what the Spurs do rest of season if I get to see 21 play a "official" final year I'd do it.

My gut has told me all along he will play one more year. As such, I haven't even mentally prepared for the fact that we may never see a #21 don a Spurs jersey.

In retrospect, it would probably be most Duncan-like for him to retire now...to avoid the glitz of a farewell tour which he personally criticized (re: Kobe) and just walk off into the sunset under the radar. If he comes back for "one more year", it's gonna be hard to avoid the spotlight.

I have simply no idea what he is going to do at this point. And considering the fact that Tim took the option but hasn't announced anything since...its possible he doesn't quite know either.

[DPG21920]

Also, if they really did give Arci a contract, moving Mills could be in play...

I'm not impressed with him at all. Hoping he's not on the team - especially instead of Patty.

[Dex]

I'm not impressed with him at all. Hoping he's not on the team - especially instead of Patty.

He's been underwhelming for sure. Very timid. He's a decent floor leader and looks to make plays for everyone else, but hasn't really looked for his own shot in the first two summer league games.

[ElNono]

I'm not impressed with him at all. Hoping he's not on the team - especially instead of Patty.

It's just a min deal right now, they could cut him anytime, i suppose, or just fill in that 3rd stringer PG role

[look_at_g_shred]

What about Forbes?

[DPG21920]

It's just a min deal right now, they could cut him anymore, i suppose, or just fill in that 3rd stringer PG role

I'm saying if you trade Patty, now you are down a player for him then if you cut him, really tough. Spurs guard depth, even with Manu, is rough and can't afford to trade Mills unless you get a proven NBA player.

[ElNono]

I'm saying if you trade Patty, now you are down a player for him then if you cut him, really tough. Spurs guard depth, even with Manu, is rough and can't afford to trade Mills unless you get a proven NBA player.

Well, my thinking was Manu could just be the de-facto backup PG. They could go cheap with a shooter like Forbes and trade Patty's $3m deal for something better than a min deal big.

I hope Bertans is as good as Bjelica. If so, bargain!

[Kawhitstorm]

You wish, Bartnes is not nba level player at all, too soft, too weak, too slow, keep dreaming!!

He isn't Jewish so he should be fine.

[jermaine]

Im sorry people... but after watching many of his highlights, I think him an The guard we signed could be the key to us beating GS! Call me crazy

[TD 21]

Well, they have their two former first round picks in LCJ and Mulitinov, but yeah, the point is well taken: the big situation is rough. I know it was probably prearranged and Jean-Charles could attempt to force their hand, but they really can't afford to be handing a player, who by all accounts doesn't appear to be an NBA player, a roster spot.

If Forbes pulls a Neal and basically forces his way onto the team, they'll only have one spot left and they'll need both a rotation caliber power forward (even if the plan is to play Anderson mostly as the backup power forward, there's certain match-ups he won't be able to play it and if Aldridge went down, they'd be screwed) and depth center.

[tonight...you]

Who says Tim hasn't made up his mind? Just because it isn't public...

[DPG21920]

Who says Tim hasn't made up his mind? Just because it isn't public...

Well, the fact SA has made the moves they made and the route they have chosen to go about things makes it pretty clear SA doesn't know yet.

If he comes in shooting 3's from "Curry range" this place is going to implode the first time he misses one.

Not sure about you guys, but I'll always be reminded of this guy everytime I see Bertans.

Yeah sorry about that lol. But you know Spurstalk will run with this once they see it.

I know it was probably prearranged and Jean-Charles could attempt to force their hand, but they really can't afford to be handing a player, who by all accounts doesn't appear to be an NBA player, a roster spot.

If Forbes pulls a Neal and basically forces his way onto the team, they'll only have one spot left and they'll need both a rotation caliber power forward (even if the plan is to play Anderson mostly as the backup power forward, there's certain match-ups he won't be able to play it and if Aldridge went down, they'd be screwed) and depth center.

They should trade LCJ's rights to the highest bidder & sign Fat Baby who can play both PF/C.

He isn't Jewish so he should be fine.

Ban worthy!

[Sean Cagney]

Those are some daaaaaaaamn good highlights though! Lmbo Dude can shoot man.. My man crush on Bonner is gone!

No offense but you had a man crush on that guy? Glad you like the new red head now but Bonner never was special sides some regular season threes and not much else.

Fuck it I hate Bonner! I hope Bertans does a lot better :)

[kobyz]

He is a stiff for nba standards, too slow to get opon against nba defenses, very streaky shooter anyway, can't play defense...

[playbonner15]

Hope he is constantly healthy. He also has those nagging knee/injury issues Euros get who play on the NBA. Spurs gonna need him scoring wise

[smaka]

I hope Bertans is as good as Bjelica. If so, bargain!
Sorry to disappoint you, but he's not.

[Raven]

I hope Bertans is as good as Bjelica. If so, bargain!

not even in the same league.

[turkish spurs fan]

I hope Bertans is as good as Bjelica. If so, bargain!

bjelica is all around talented. bertans is just a 3pt specialist but does that work very good.

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Sorry to disappoint you, but he's not.

Bertans may not have Bjelica's all around game but he's a better shooter and in that specific role can have a bigger impact in the NBA. Bjelica is wasted on that T-wolves team.

edit : ^ beaten to it.

I know, I watched both play in Euroleague. I'm just sceptical about Bertans' ability to play in the NBA, especially with his knee problems and long season. We'll see. I'm sceptical but if he pans out, I'll gladly admit I was wrong.

Don't know that anyone would want him, not with him having a say in coming over.

Even with Dedmon and Anderson likely to primarily play power forward, there's still a clear need for another big. I definitely wouldn't sign Davis though.

Are we sure the Nytes & Sean Mark wouldn't take him for cash considerations?:lol

Last time I saw Fat Baby getting playoff minutes he was shutting down Diaw 1.5.:wakeup

He would also be useful against Choke-P3 when they face each other in the 2nd rd:


Davis, who hasn’t played in an NBA game in over a year after undergoing ankle surgery in September, was critical of his ex-teammate, particularly for dribbling the ball too much. “He has his way about himself,” Davis said when asked if Paul was a problem in the locker room. “It’s, ‘I’m Chris Paul, give me the ball, I’m gonna dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble, might pass if it looks good, or I’ll shoot.'” (http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nba/2016/06/10/glen-davis-chris-paul-blake-griffin-la-clippers/85694160/)

Maybe, but then they'd literally be handing a 1st round pick away.

By the time next season starts, that will have been a year and a half ago. Besides, he's not really Spurs material and wouldn't fill a need for a floor spacer.
