Well, reading that I am even more disappointed in the poor off-season the front office had during this free agency period.

I'm happy to get Rudy Gay (hopefully he's full recovered and can reach his true potential with the Spurs), but apart from that one move, not pleased with how this off-season has gone at all.

Hanga seems to be holding out for a big contract. If he wasn't, PATFO would have signed him faster than a bear shits in the woods.

He'll go down as the next Luis Scola...without the talent.

I'm not ripping Manu because he can still play at the NBA level and he's a Spur legend that we will miss 4 years from now, and I don't know how good Hanga is, though this sounds like the Spurs want him to come over at some point. That said, I remember when Brent Berry retired. There were 4 or 5 teams that wanted him because of his shooting and playmaking capabilities. But he said he was retiring early to let some young guy get his spot and have a chance to live the same dream he had. Mad respect for his unselfishness.

Manure doesn't give a fuck about anyone's dream. Guy wanted to get another check, but just not before he let the FO squirm with their hands tied behind their backs while he was taking his vacation.

Not after spending the MLE on Gay. Unless Hanga was OK with the BAE, which is unlikely as he got more from Barcelona.

They never cared about that hack, first they signed Gay, then some other no name scrubs, then tried to land Irving when that imploded they went after Manu, also signed Gasol.
Was never a priority.

Probably him taking such a long ass time to say he'd be back is what I resent in a way. I haven't watch Hanga play a lot but he was mislead clearly. He came over for a full physical and waited around for 5 days be4 he couldn't wait anymore bc FA in Europe was underway as well and he had to make a choice for himself and his career.

It's selfish of Manu to have others wait around when you know the FO is basically waiting on you and your choices to make up their minds about others.

Can you explain how Manu signing with bird rights affected the possible signing of Hanga with the BAE? Even Paul was signed before Manu made his decision and Paul's the one taking the spot Hanga would eventually have had.

I'll tell you what it affected - the Spurs always envisioned signing Hanga for the min, if ever. Then suddenly he gets a once in a lifetime $10mil contract from Barcelona when he's made probably less than $2 mil for his career so far. Spurs no longer care to bid against that. Doesn't matter at all whether RC's an asshole or not. They got Bertans for the min and Bertans has more talent in his missing finger than Hanga.

Alot of assumptions in this thread. I try to avoid the assumption game and blind leaps to a conlusion.

I'm not going out on a limb and calling manu selfish. He's 40 years old. "One can reasonably assume he was actually torn between retiring and coming back." If so, it's hard to label that selfish.

He's earned the right to make his decision at his own speed.

I won't comment on the comparison to Davis. I like him and don't want to diss on anyone.

But I had already noted Spurs likely didn't want to pay Hanga what he was worth, several times here.

However, they led him to believe they wanted him and were willing to negotiate a contract that was fair to him, and also led his camp to believe him joining the team depended on Manu retiring. We already had that discussion.
More likely than not if Manu wasn't coming back Spurs priorities would have shifted.

If memory serves it came out at the beginning of free agency that hanga would be signed if manu retired. If so, he was put on notice of the situation and cant get his feelings hurt.

Manu doesn't owe hanga shit. He shouldn't have to speed up a decision for some Hungarian guy who can't even shoot from the outside and is debatably a fringe nba talent.

Manu at 40 is still better than some options. He's better and quicker than kyle fucking anderson. That's for sure.

You are entitled to your fandom. I respect that. We shall disagree on the impact of taking a long time to decide on his retirement and the impact on others. At any rate Hanga made the choice that was better for himself too and he waited as long as he possibly could to make it bc he wanted to come over.

i don't think it was Manu's fault, at least money wise. In today's NBA you need to load up on wings, so getting Hanga (at least the Spurs front office thinks he's good enough) and Manu would have been preferred. If it was between Hanga and Gay, the Gay signing was much more important.

It's not about fandom. It's about facts and reality. I love manu for a reason. He was a bad mofo who has won on every level.

And at 40 he is still a net positive.

I don't become a fan of scrubs. So if you are going to reach fandom status in my eyes you better be a legend like manu, tim, kawhi, etc.

Not an agenda. Manus got a two decade history of being a winner.

But I digress. I'll take the fandom tag of Manu and you stick with kyle anderson.

In a devils advocate analysis my "agenda" is more easily supportable tJan propping up kyle and hitching my wagon to a 3 year old horse who could be put to pasture well before his theoretical prime.

Spurs may have botched this. Meaning that they had to consider the schedule of this European player.

The other reality though is that they have a ton of other guards. It is just ridiculous that the Spurs have too many of these players that are 6'5" and under!

Yeah I really don't believe Manu had anything to do with Hanga joining the team or not. That's an easy narrative to spin, but the truth is that if the Spurs wanted Hanga they could have found a spot for him. There are what, 15 spots on the roster now? Either you are good enough to occupy one of those or your a fringe player and they have to make a decision regarding the value of paying you or possibly paying someone else.

Seems clear the Spurs were interested in him but thought they were going to be able to bring him over on a much cheaper deal. That obviously wasn't the case and they decided that at this point it wasn't worth the investment.

The apology seems more of a way for the FO to smooth things over with future overseas talent. "hey that was our bad. there was a miscommunication between the two sides but there are no hard feelings"

Agreed. This is why good FOs don't completely dick players over when they technically could. The Spurs are known for taking care of "their" players (e.g. paying for Javtokas's surgery) even if they never make the main squad.

Debate which ones suck, or who isn't really "athletic" all you want, but there isn't a shortage of athletes in the NBA right now (and this list doesn't even include small ball bigs). Even you know that claiming otherwise is fucking stupid...

There are numerous small bigs on that list :lol

There are about three...Calm down. :lol And I was obviously referring to players who play the 3 but easily can slide over to the 4 like Rudy Gay, for example.

More athletic than any big on the Spurs by a mile, tbh.

No one will respond because they are looking at your list of athletic bigs... wow
Tell me how Anthony Davis isn't an athletic big.

Did some reading up Hanga and his deal. There is a $1.7 million dollar NBA buyout. Spurs could pay the maximum $700,000 allowed by the league to buyout his deal though, the rest would come out of this season's salary.

The B.A.E is the only exception they have left. In theory, they could sign him to the full B.A.E (2 years, $6.93 million) $3.38 minus $1 million would mean his take-home salary is 2.38 million but the entire amount counts to the salary cap, still that wouldn't take the Spurs into the luxury tax.

He wouldn't start but he would still have a chance to get minutes at the 3, seeing that he fits a need.

Even in the offseason, Manure holds this team back. Not surprised tbh...

Hanga doesn’t have the size for NBA 3, SF. No way. He’s an athletic guard, not good enough for the NBA. Forget about him.

Maybe we can trade Hanga for Darrun

He definitely looked like an NBA player. Probably will make more money there though and can come back later.

THis is a shame, Hillard I think was better than Forbes. He deserved a spot as opposed to Forbes, who is one dimensional. Hillard can play both ends of the court.

Agreed. I am a little surprised an NBA team didn't sign him. But this will probably serve him well in the long run - playing a lot of minutes on a good euro team instead of riding the pines in the NBA.
