Woj: Kyle Anderson Signs 4-yr/$37.2M Offer Sheet w/ Memphis [Archive] - Page 5

Considering they're playing Cun and Pon, yeah, they miss Anderson. It's hard to pay him so much if he won't actually try to be a plus on offense, though. He'd be the third-best big on the team right now, and had the team known Forbes was going to be a regular starter, they could have made Anderson work with DeRozan and Aldridge. Still, I understand letting him go, because they needed a better SF than Kyle. They just didn't get it.

To my mind, the money choice was Kyle vs Bertans. Kyle is filling 27.3 mpg. Bertans is filling 16.8. For a difference of $400,000 this year. This was a bad decision, especially, as to my mind, Kyle has far more potential.

I don't know if I can call what Kyle lacks potential anymore. Dude had so many chances to show he could start using his talent better, and he just didn't. He's not doing that in Memphis either. I don't think you can really argue that an Anderson who never improves is worth such a long commitment. Like having a defensive ace if cool when you are constantly over the cap, but when you're talking about using space and rebuilding, it just seems harder to justify Anderson taking up guaranteed money. He'd likely be an upgrade to Cun, but I don't have much doubt at all that if Kyle were on the team instead of Bertans right now, that there'd be people complaining about the decision, and the Spurs' record would be really similar.

I miss ol' SloMo. He was unexciting to watch but, every night you could count on him for both defensive and offensive rebounds and some nights a bunch of them. He always had one of more blocks, steals and assists. He was Hi BB IQ. We could really use him and Danny Green right now. Defense is pretty much non existent with this shit stew team.

he would be the only player on that roster who really fits this description, unfortunately he has a very low engine

Glad he’s not in the Spurs tbh.

He was under appreciated when he was in The Spurs and got “hate-mail” most of the time.

He’s now in a different team and still gets hate-mail.

I will say it again, I am glad he’s helping a different team.

Not sure why this thread was bumped :lol tbh..

He had the defensive impact on Giannis that a wet fart would. He went off for 31/9/4 on 71% shooting. Fathead was just fortunate that he had the superior team. Gasol and Conley scored 55 and Jackson Jr, Temple, and Mack scored double digits.

Was he even covering Giannis? According to the box score, Jared Jackson was the starting PF (matching with Giannis's position), and Middleton was the "match up" with Anderson. Given Anderson played a team high of 39 minutes for the Grizzlies, I'm guessing their coaches thought he was doing something right...

Did not bother watching this game between two pretenders, so I'm not sure. If he was checking Middleton, then he did a horrible on him as well seeing as he went for 25pts on 50FG%, which is his second highest scoring game of his season.

I would say Anderson was the primary defender on Greek Freak (even though Jaren and Temple guarded him some as well) and Freak destroyed Anderson. He couldn't come close to guarding this guy.

Even the few times he was on Middleton he was killed. Includes Anderson getting beat on a drive, fouling him on a 3 point shot, and getting beat on a backdoor cut.

Pretty much anyone who drove on Anderson got by him in this game. If Anderson wasn't the Grizzlies' worst defender in this game he was pretty close.

Not really. The Grizzlies were without Dillon Brooks, JaMychal Green, Omri Casspi, and Chandler Parsons due to injury plus Jaren Jackson was in foul trouble so there wasn't any other options at the forward position.

That was always his weakness. If a guy was in front of him dribbling or whatever, he had deceptively quick hands and could get deflections/steals. Obviously a good thing.

But guys would drive by him a lot too, cause he just lacks lateral quickness/footspeed.

Grizzlies have won 6 of their last 7, Kyle averaging 34 MPG and 2nd on the team in on/off metrics during that stretch..they're finally putting the ball in his hands after a poor start to the season, averaging 4 APG in the past 7..

The usual 8 RPG + a steal and a block per, looks great..never going to be a good scorer, but they're beginning to use him correctly..

True.
I didn't want to build a second shrine bc frankly people still hate on me for being a fan, but all these Kyle Anderson threads after he joined the Grizzlies are started by other fans here and I seldom bring him up except within the context of threads like this. If he was playing awful and the Grizzlies were tanking again, you just know there would be a hate thread after hate thread about him here. He's living rent free more on his haters minds than fans.

Heck people are still crying over Dedmon and Simmons, and meanwhile Kyle and Green, better players in good teams the trolldom is just cheering that they are gone. It's tiring. It's really tiring to read so much asinine stupidity about him.

Kind of cheering for the Grizz to kick the Spurs behind. Not just bc the Grizz are playing well and deserve it, but bc the Spurs are really awful right now and really, really need to rebuild and tank. Killing 2 birds with one stone.

Scub? It's laughable that we chose to let go of a starting player for a specialist in Bertans. And to say he is a bad defender. Last night, down the stretch, crunch time, Gay iso him up. Grizzlies bench was up, clapping, cheering, encouraging Anderson to stop him one on one. No help defense. Just good one on one defense. And he did.

This is the comparison for resigning Anderson. Bertans. Fucking useless Bertans. The FO made the completely wrong choice here. I'm not a huge fan of KA, but he has utility and does multiple things, plus would be instantly our best perimeter defender. Bertans can't even shoot the fucking ball that well.

the point is not if we should have signed Kyle but if we could afford to sign both...as I would have done. I don't know if the fact that we have not signed both has depended on the refuse of Bertans to sign the 4 years 20 millions (5 a year) preferring the 2 years 14 millions (seven a year)...maybe salary tax reasons?

Agreed. Spurs sacrificed defense for offense and Bertran is not even hitting them 3’s. We had to play Dante instead. But Kyle >>> Dante. So yup it was a mistake to choose Bertran over Kyle. Kyle would have a loooong career in the nba. I doubt Bertran plays in the NBA after his contract is done.

May be a chicken-and-egg argument. Perhaps DeMar would be playing more 2 and less 3 if we had Kyle. But, as HarlemHeat has noted. Kyle's "fit" with the Spurs would be very complicated. Having both DeMar and Kyle on the floor at the same time wouldn't do much for spacing...

Not really. Don't see any way the Spurs keep all three of Bertans, Gay and Anderson. Yes, they could have afford it had they not signed Beli, but having three highly paid forwards would have been a tough thing to do considering how inexperienced the back court was and the team's likely intent to at least try to play big. I understand that you're all about the modern NBA and whatnot, but even looking at how it turned out, having a solid vet guard really helped, even if Marco himself hasn't had a good year.

I'm really glad that we didn't sign him tbh. I never like him bc I don't really like any player who pump fakes absolutely nobody, then dribbles into traffic and either shoots a worse shot or does a bail out pass. He did it all the freaking time and it was and always will be a better option to shoot the ball! We might suck this year defensively, though we have looked better as of late, and we might be thin at SF but we can draft a better or similar player to Anderson for half the price.

Agree'd glad he's gone, nothing personal but just another guy who will dribble into a contested long two in traffic instead of an open 3 and in the playoffs looks completely unhinged.

Belinelli's been a bit better lately and at least he's not afraid to shoot an open shot, or any halfway circus shot for that matter and Bertans the same, I hope to see Bertans shooting the second he gets a foot of space from a defender, aggression like he showed against the 76ers is really what he always needs to be doing, even if he is missing.

As I said, I was all willing to believe that he could be coached out of whatever mental blocks he had to being aggressive offensively. But at this point, you can't really blame anyone else. It's like saying "Well if only MKG learned to shoot instead of doing whatever the hell he does when he tosses the ball in the vague direction of the net." Like yeah, it would have been nice, but it didn't happen. That's how we probably have to start looking at Anderson, that it "didn't happen" rather than "hasn't happened."

Good for him for getting the bag, but Memphis has really misused him..I don't know why you would sign a player for so much money, yet not have a plan to utilize him as an on-ball player, knowing that he's useless off the ball..now his confidence is lower than ever on offense to the point where he should be used as a bench defensive specialist piece like MKG..

Hopefully they give him a shot if the big cancer and Mike Conley are traded..

You've gotta be versatile in today's game man. Especially with something as simple as shooting the ball when you're wide open.

Even Rondo makes teams pay if they sag off too much. At some point, it's on the player to add to their game to be more effective. That point for Anderson was probably a couple seasons ago and he still hasn't shown much progress.

He's only good versus teams that run slow, plodding big (but not too big) players and offenses. Very limited when half the guys roasting us this year are super fast guards who can soot 3s behind everybody. Kyle wouldn't help what we need the most which is PG/SG defense and 3s form the guard spots.

Because if you pace adjust a spurs bench guy to rotation on another team his stats increase 15 to 20% also if you were not a problem in the spurs system it means you are teachable and usually a decent teammate.

Kyle's still a decent player. It's just that he didn't want to take the steps to become a very good player. Memphis wasn't really a great place for him, with their insistence on playing big and their constant lack of shooters. He'd be really good on the Warriors if they move on from Draymond. But even Green has to shoot every once in a while, and Anderson's reluctance to do that is as damaging of a flaw as I've ever seen.

He had every opportunity to improve on that flaw in SA too. He got the minutes and playing time and even a respected shooting coach on the Spurs staff to help. It all comes down to him just not having the ambition or mentality to take the next step.

Nah on Bertans. He fuckin sucks and could do nothing for us. Anderson can at least get rebounds and defend people.

Spursfanfromafar

01-02-2021, 12:27 PM

Bertans was the only player other than Rudy Gay who had a net positive on both offense and defense in his last season with the Spurs (2018-19). Bertans had a better RPM than Gay in that season too. He had his flaws (not enough defensive rebounds, and flat footed laterally) but his strengths were more than sufficient to overcome those flaws. He scored like a lightning rod more often than not with the bench unit and gave effort on defense and could offer weak-side blocking occasionally too. The Wizards have utilised him on offense even better and not just as a spot-up shooter. He comes off screens and shoots .. they set up decoys to get him free and he just needs the slightest of space and time to light it up from the perimeter. Bertans would have been a great asset for the Spurs when the young-ins drive and dish or when Poeltl sets those screens to free him up.

It was one of the worst mistakes that the Spurs front office ever did.. letting him go to pursue that fake tough guy Morris who in any case refused to honour his agent's promise.

Anderson has his strengths and is an effective role player but he would make somewhat less of a difference with the Spurs than Bertans would have, in my opinion.

Mr. Body

01-02-2021, 12:38 PM

Spursfanfromafar

01-02-2021, 12:46 PM

If he's not hitting threes, Bertans is like playing with four players. There are many reasons why the Wizards are terrible right now, and Bertans is among them. The Spurs don't need a plastic popgun, they need someone who can bang, defend, finish around the rim and get boards. Davis Bertans does exactly none of those.

The Wizards aren't terrible because of Bertans. Much of the blame goes to Westbrook and his mid-range, ball dominant, inefficient game. If anything Bertans, with other good ball handlers who make quick decisions, has been a net plus for the Wizards in the last season plus now.

The Spurs are actually after five games in the upper half of the league on defense and lower half on offense. They have in Aldridge, Poeltl, Keldon Johnson, Murray and even Gay, the kind of players who can rebound and defend in the paint. What they lack is one good knockdown shooter and who is a mismatch because of his height and ability to spread the floor. Trey Lyles promised to be one last year, but started off so badly that he is now glued to the bench. Bertans would have a perfect fit with the bench unit or even a Murray, DeRozan, Johnson, Bertans, Poeltl starting line-up.

Yes, as I've been saying since we lost him, KA was the prototypical defensive minded combo forward we need.

Happy for Bert and Fathead tbh. And I'd much rather have each over somebody like Rudy Gay.

But I'm not really losing sleep over either guy, especially Davis on that contract. I'm glad they got paid but happier that somebody other than the Spurs paid them.

The Wizards aren't terrible because of Bertans. Much of the blame goes to Westbrook and his mid-range, ball dominant, inefficient game. If anything Bertans, with other good ball handlers who make quick decisions, has been a net plus for the Wizards in the last season plus now.

The Spurs are actually after five games in the upper half of the league on defense and lower half on offense. They have in Aldridge, Poeltl, Keldon Johnson, Murray and even Gay, the kind of players who can rebound and defend in the paint. What they lack is one good knockdown shooter and who is a mismatch because of his height and ability to spread the floor.

Bertans is a bad player and certainly ain't helping the Wizards. He'd do jack shit on the Spurs for their problems right now. But I'll leave you to your delusions.

Yeah. I did quote some advanced stats to make my case but those are delusions. Speaks a lot about this world where facts are delusions & lies/ gut feel opinion are facts :)

You have no fucking clue what the Spurs need right now. Bertans. Give me a fucking break. Muggsy Bogues might have had advanced stats, doesn't mean he could give what the team needs.

Lol. And you do :)

Lets try again. The Spurs are 15th in the league in defense and 17th in offense. They are 27th in the league in 3PA-rate and despite having the 10th best 3P%, have only the 18th best effectiveFG%. Clearly a knockdown shooter who can make use of the spot up opportunities due to the drive and kick dishing from Murray, Derozan, Walker and Johnson will help the Spurs if he is just about able to provide adequate rebounding at both ends of the floor. Turns out Davis Bertans is the best in the last few years in 3PAr and 3P% accuracy as well in the league (and way better than any other big as well) and his rebounding rate hasn't been too poor either if his last season (5.6 per 36 minutes along with nearly a block in the same timeframe).

Far from being "trash" or whatever nonsense you have called him, he has been a very effective role player for both the teams that he has played for in this league. Talk about being delusional.

Nah Bertans puts up stats on a losing team but twhen he got playoff minutes on a playoff team he shit the bed. He's no different than Forbes he's worst on defense.

Like, fucking literally what the Spurs need is rebounding and interior defense. Having someone who can put in bunnies would be a bonus. Meanwhile, you're jacking off over a guy who shoots threes and that's fucking it.

GTFO.

All this hand ringing over Bertans :lol

Once the playoffs hit he became unplayable cause he wouldn't even make open 3's anymore :lol

He got 80 million dollars :lol

You think the Spurs were going to pay him more than Derrick White :lol

It says a lot about Bertans that he didn't become a real hot commodity until he went to a terrible team and was given a license to gun :lol

He would never be able to play basketball for the spurs the way he plays for the wizards. since the spurs at least pretend to care about things like defense and rebounding:lol

Bertans just got benched against a shitty bulls team for the exact same shit we had to bench him for

If anything I'm salty that he got traded to make room for a dude who in retrospect would have been a disastrous signing to begin with.

Yeah moving Bertans to sign Morris was the right move. Knicks are just a garbage organization. Their media and fans had the audacity then to make up nonsense about the Spurs tampering with Porzingas.

It sounds like he hurt his shoulder his rookie year and tried to rehab without surgery, which impacted Kyle’s shooting motion and confidence. Too bad we never saw the confident shooting Kyle in SA.

Dude, did Bertans fuck your wife or something? You are being overly emotional with his negativity towards him. :lol

Going by any objective metric Bertans is by far an above average player and he would definitely cover major needs on this current Spurs' team. Mainly length and 3 pt shooting. He would easily be a top 5 player in the team and a closer. You emotionally trying to remain oblivious to reality and logic won't make these facts any less true, tbh.

I think giving up a second or whatever to trade Beli to sign Morris was the better move. You can argue Davis and Morris played the same position while Marco didn't, but honestly Beli played the three most of the year, and I don't think he was better in that capacity than Bertans would've been. Of course, it's easy to say "pay a second" or whatever, but that pick ended up being Tre Jones. We'll see if he has a career worth anything.

I agree. Trying to move Beli would have been much better of an approach.
