[Holden_Caulfield]

lol the fuck

[Darius Bieber]

fuck this shit.

[davi78239]

Wtf are they doing!!??

[apalisoc_9]

Kawhi move to LA. Real basketball fans won't hate you.

[tdunk21]

881009036098805760

[cjw]

Please for the min or a small exception. And nothing more.

[raybies]

i think ill get some beer before it gets too late... :sigh

[steeledl]

lol... if we fucking tie up money in this dude.............................................. .................................

[baseline bum]

So he's the Aldridge replacement, probably for $20+ million a year. Move one piece of shit for another I guess.

[tmtcsc]

Please for the min or a small exception. And nothing more.

Now THAT is a different story...but didn't he have a bad injury?

[NASpurs]

:lol

[tdunk21]

881009036098805760

my bad wrong thread.

[99 Problems]

Rudy on a top flight team. I'd like to see that.

[Leetonidas]

:lol what is happening

[FkLA]

It will depend on how he recovers but I don't hate this, tbh.

Can never have too many wings with length.

[davidbowie]

need this jersey ASAP

[Darius Bieber]

I'm thinking Buford's about to get another DUI, ain't no way he's making these moves sober.

[Uriel]

He's only 30 years old. Better than Iguodala, tbh.

[HarlemHeat37]

Hopefully it's a show-me deal where he proves he still has something left in the tank following the career-killing Achilles tear..otherwise, pretty risky for a career cancer coming off a major injury..

[eDizzle20]

Spurs wanting to add depth instead of a big star. I like Rudy Gay, but he's coming back from a torn achilles. So much uncertainty.

[MannyIsGod]

If this happens then why bring back Simmons?

[rastaspur]

I'm on the verge of jumping off my roof. Someone talk me down. Please don't use the strategy employed in best of show though.

[LakerHater]

So Juice leaves??

[timtonymanu]

Jesus fucking Christ

[rastaspur]

Hopefully it's a show-me deal where he proves he still has something left in the tank following the career-killing Achilles tear..otherwise, pretty risky for a career cancer coming off a major injury..

[SuperCam]

good move tbh anything better that trotting out Fathead

[FkLA]

If this happens then why bring back Simmons?

Small ball and/or Danny is gone.

[baseline bum]

Hopefully it's a show-me deal where he proves he still has something left in the tank following the career-killing Achilles tear..otherwise, pretty risky for a career cancer coming off a major injury..

Wow he tore his achilles? This night just keeps getting better. :lmao

[Chinook]

Hopefully it's a show-me deal where he proves he still has something left in the tank following the career-killing Achilles tear..otherwise, pretty risky for a career cancer coming off a major injury..

Would assume something around the MLE. The Spurs should be planning on staying over the cap just so they have more flexibility.

[NASpurs]

Gasol didn't die for this.

[AFBlue]

The good news is he wouldn't be shut down by Kawhi.

[Mugen]

Seriously WTF

[HarlemHeat37]

IIRC, no player has successfully returned to form following a full Achilles tear, correct? Wes Matthews is a shell of his former self, Kobe and Billups were finished, as was Elton Brand, etc..

And ya, I don't understand the fit with Simmons, at all, both need the ball in their hands and neither can shoot(Gay can't pass and isn't a playmaker, too)..I guess he might be gone, we'll see..

[AFBlue]

Also won't believe it until WojESPN confirms

[Darius Bieber]

OKC gets George. Rockets get CP3. Spurs get Gay. :lmao

[NASpurs]

:pop: "Sorry Pau, we ran out of money. Better luck next time."

[Atl Spur]

I'm thinking Buford's about to get another DUI, ain't no way he's making these moves sober.

Lol good one

[FkLA]

Hopefully it's a show-me deal where he proves he still has something left in the tank following the career-killing Achilles tear..otherwise, pretty risky for a career cancer coming off a major injury..

Tbf hasn't Mathews atleast been respectable in Dallas after his tear? We all think of Kirby but he was old with tons of mileage on top of it.

[CP48107]

He's only 30 years old. Better than Iguodala, tbh.

Totally agree. Plus he is better offensively when healthy.

[ducks]

Depends on amount and deal could be a steal

[steeledl]

Everything is annoying me. What are we doing? Either you swing for the fences and try to compete next year with Paul George or fucking wait.

[MannyIsGod]

Small ball and/or Danny is gone.

I'd rather they just keep Green but Simmons does give them more cap flexibility if they want to go that route. Risky though.

[ginobilized]

Hmmm....interesting move

Gay has always been very tough for Kawhi to defend.
I hope this is for a reasonable contract.

Hope he is recovered

[AFBlue]

IIRC, no player has successfully returned to form following a full Achilles tear, correct?

And ya, I don't understand the fit with Simmons, at all..I guess he might be gone..

I'm sure they've felt all along that Simmons had priced himself out of SA. He's getting $15M/yr minimum.

[HarlemHeat37]

Tbf hasn't Mathews atleast been respectable in Dallas after his tear? We all think of Kirby but he was old with tons of mileage on top of it.

Matthews was respectable, this past season, but significantly worse than he was prior to the tear..

[mexicanjunior]

His defense is shit...horrible idea...

[MannyIsGod]

Everything is annoying me. What are we doing? Either you swing for the fences and try to compete next year with Paul George or fucking wait.

Sounds like they're waiting so why is it annoying you?

I will not be getting a Gay jersey!

[Uriel]

False alarm. :lmao

881011144827260928

[InRareForm]

need this jersey ASAP

Lol

[steeledl]

Sounds like they're waiting so why is it annoying you?

Signing Rudy Gay to any sizeable contract would be a mistake in the waiting game.

[Darius Bieber]

freakin Young's ass giving Spurs fans heart attacks.

[Chinook]

I think Gay's days of being a perimeter-oriented slashing three are over. I think he can be as effective at the four as Joe Johnson and Pierce have been recently. It's just about him getting the salary that reflects that.

[baseline bum]

So Jabari Young deleted the tweet?

[ducks]

He is gs plan b people say their front office is great

I'm unfollowing Jabari right now. This dude is just trying to be relevant

[AFBlue]

Spurs aren't going to waste a year of Kawhi's prime by sitting out free agency. Just because you don't like the moves doesn't mean the front office thinks it won't make them better.

[Chinook]

Still, reupping Simmons and then signing either of these guys would be questionable roster construction. Bringing back Mills helps somewhat.

[NASpurs]

False alarm. :lmao

881011144827260928

There's still hope! (that the Spurs won't sign him)

[baseline bum]

Fucking Express News and all San Antonio media is useless.

[JR3]

False alarm. :lmao

881011144827260928
Lol!!!!

[tmtcsc]

Fucking would have earned a "BANNED" in this forum for pulling that shit.

[Ron Swanson]

Fucking Express News and all San Antonio media is useless.

[LakerHater]

Rudy Gay's camp is pumping breaks on reported agreement with Spurs. They have meetings scheduled over next few days. Rudy weighing options.

[tmtcsc]

Fucking Express News and all San Antonio media is useless.

Yes

[raybies]

somebody pink jabari

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol Jabari Young, smh..leave it to the pros..

[RD2191]

Permaban Jabari

[100%duncan]

Holy fucking pass :lmao :lmao :lmao I mean it's a better choice than iguodala but PASS :lmao

[99 Problems]

Today's today :lol

[FkLA]

All of y'all are gonna wish this was true when we end up with PJ fucking Tucker smh.

I want Gay. No homo.

[steeledl]

What constitutes waste? Not competing for a championship? We aren't doing that anyway. Might as well start maneuvering for a roster that can.

[BatManu20]

Not happening.


881011181829316608

[benefactor]

:lol Jabari Young, smh..leave it to the pros..
Alex Kennedy too tbh

[SpurPadre]

tspence should take Jabari's job, tbh.

[pgardn]

Kawhi move to LA. Real basketball fans won't hate you.

oh.

The ones that applauded Kobe's last year brickfest. The ones who watched a confused Gordon Heyward trying to decide if he should cover Kobe in his last game or just take the running blocks the Lakers were setting as screens...

Real fans.
Sure.

[baseline bum]

SA sport media has been dogshit since Ludden went national

[tdunk21]

All of y'all are gonna wish this was true when we end up with PJ fucking Tucker smh.

I want Gay. No homo.

this cracked me up. should be post of the day

[ernest787]

yeah. I can't believe people still follow Alex Kennedy. That dude is a hack with no sources.

He blocked me for calling him out for continually posting "news" from his "sources" 10 minutes after every other reputable NBA reporter had posted it.

[sasaint]

Better than those jokes Michael Wright reporting news two weeks after the fact and Jabari Young breaking news that isn't.

[George Gervin's Afro]

If true, really like this .... Gay will fit in nicely

[AFBlue]

What constitutes waste? Not competing for a championship? We aren't doing that anyway. Might as well start maneuvering for a roster that can.

Whether they are competitive or not, they can't act as if they're not trying. This is not Philly, and the implications to their long-term future, i.e. Kawhi staying or leaving, are too important to leave an impression that they're not going to try and put the most competitive team on the court every night. Can't fall short of the task to try.

[Chinook]

881006648071868416

It's like the god-damned Cthaeh. Whichever one the Spurs choose will be wrong.

[gospursgojas]

Rather have Gay over Iggy

Can't fall short of the task to try.

I get what you are saying.... but the front office can't be short sighted and neither SHOULD Kawhi. If Im Kawhi, and I see the landscape of the NBA, I see that a sizable move needs to be made to compete as opposed to marginal moves. I agree that it would suck if we struck out next year and Kawhi went elsewhere but that's a chance we should be taking.

This is a disaster free agency at the moment. Makes zero sense.

[TimDunkem]

Why so negative, brah? :smokin

[Mikeanaro]

Bring Gay, Rose & Bender and we have a happy squad.

[100%duncan]

This is a disaster free agency at the moment. Makes zero sense.

Yep. Yep. And YEP.

[dylankerouac]

need this jersey ASAP

LoL

[rjv]

Annual ST end of the world meltdown is more entertaining than FA period is.

[dylankerouac]

880492184797097984


Looks good. At least we know that Pop can sell managing his minutes, if should allow Gay to get stronger over time.

[sasaint]

Monthly ST end of the world meltdown is more entertaining than FA period is.

FIFY

[sasaint]

Bring Gay, Rose & Bender and we have a happy squad.

:lmao

[rjv]

FIFY yeah. Thanks.

[tbdog]

He isn't a bad option. We really need offense and he will come far cheaper than others.

[jimbo]

Hopefully it's a show-me deal where he proves he still has something left in the tank following the career-killing Achilles tear..otherwise, pretty risky for a career cancer coming off a major injury..

He's supposedly decent in the locker room at least. So major upgrade from what we currently have. Don't think he's a vocal dude though. Lmao, Spurs gonna roll with 0 vocal leaders...

[DenialTwist]

Rudy Gay doesn't even like Kawhi. He wants to be a Warrior and get a ring.

[cutewizard]

everyone is just using the "name" of the Spurs

[cutewizard]

are we getting rudy gay or not??

[TimDunkem]

are we getting rudy gay or not??
Let's hope not. We already signed a chucker last night.

[cutewizard]

is anything brewing with the "Aldridge question".......

[Ice009]

are we getting rudy gay or not??

Yep, we still need to clear cap space so that the Spurs can pay him 30 million ;).

[ceperez]

Well... not sure if he'll come cheap, but I think he's got good size and has decent offense.

[Ice009]

Well... not sure if he'll come cheap, but I think he's got good size and has decent offense.

Yeah, I'm actually OK with him. I just wouldn't want to spend too much for him. I like his size and he has skills on the offensive end of the ball. If the Spurs can get him to play good defense, he could be a good signing.

[objective]

Wes Matthews still doesn't look like the same player more than 2 years after popping his achilles.

Gay makes no sense to me.

[ceperez]

Yeah, I'm actually OK with him. I just wouldn't want to spend too much for him. I like his size and he has skills on the offensive end of the ball. If the Spurs can get him to play good defense, he could be a good signing.

I agree with you here. It will all depend on the price. However, torn achilles.... that should make him both cheaper and riskier.

tanking, tanking...............

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Not sure why people complain so much about the possibility of doing this. It can be done decently and he's a really good player

[ceperez]

I agree here that the complaints are overblown. Spurs need some decent veterans that are affordable.

[cutewizard]

Hope we get Millsap, Rudy Gay and Iggy...............!!!!!

that would make my day

[sasaint]

Wes Matthews still doesn't look like the same player more than 2 years after popping his achilles.

Gay makes no sense to me.

+1

[CGD]

Gay only makes sense if they're shipping out LMA, or if Gay commits to playing at the 4.

[duncan2150]

Would not be a bad option and better than noting, i watched some sacramento games last year and he was pretty good and can play the 4.

[cd98]

881015671131222016

They probably asked for some medical reports and he said no, so that was the end of that.

[Mal]

881015671131222016

Those are very difficult talks. Gay is good player, or was, but after injury teams have their concerns. He wants to get paid, but team will have to invest in him, which means one year deal is off the table.

[look_at_g_shred]

Nice small ball lineup with Gay.

[DAF86]

Please tell me Pop and RC are just pulling one on us with this Free agency. Tell me it's all a joke and everything will be good in a couple of days. Pliz :cry

[TimDunkem]

Please tell me Pop and RC are just pulling one on us with this Free agency. Tell me it's all a joke and everything will be good in a couple of days. Pliz :cry
Gasol 3 year/30 mill deal incoming.

[ceperez]

I still don't understand how GSW can be in the running for guys like Gay or Dedmon. Aren't they maxed out already?

[TimDunkem]

I still don't understand how GSW can be in the running for guys like Gay or Dedmon. Aren't they maxed out already?
They can lock up Durant, sign guys, then lock up the rest with Bird Rights.

[james evans]

I have no idea what our fucking obsession is with players on the decline in their 30s..

[duncan2150]

They can lock up Durant, sign guys, then lock up the rest with Bird Rights.

but How much could they have under the cap ?

[james evans]

They can lock up Durant, sign guys, then lock up the rest with Bird Rights.
Even with Bird rights, I can't see GS giving Klay and Green what they want after giving Curry 40 million a season haha. That's gonna be hard to do and fill a bench with quality players

[picnroll]

Apparently Spurs are trying to lock up the worst off season in team history.

[james evans]

Hope we get Millsap, Rudy Gay and Iggy...............!!!!!

that would make my day
Then they'd get here and not be able to consistently hit a goddamn shot all season.

[TimDunkem]

Apparently Spurs are trying to lock up the worst off season in team history.
Hey! Don't you know we're resigning Manu and Pau to long-term deals, and bringing over Adumb Hanger, and Hakeem Milutinov?

[DaBears]

Man i have wanted spurs to covet this guy for a few years now, Rudy G & Paul George have been the only players in the league that have really given KL any problems... I am hoping SPURS can sign the man, He is certainly versatile on offense & a capable defender..

Spurs just want old players and Leonard is leaving and Pop is a terrible coach.

[therealtruth]

At least don't let him go to a rival contender.
