Best offseason ever :cry

[Kori Ellis]

That's a lot of freakin' money.

Good luck, Kyle.

Spurs dropping like flies.

[timvp]

Wut

[jeebus]

Best offseason ever :cry

[BatManu20]

Also, lol at Memphis handing out all terrible contracts. Kyle and Chandler Parsons will be great together. :tu

[Kool Bob Love]

Tank

[bklynspursfan]

I guess Memphis needs to play even slower?

[daslicer]

Wow

[tholdren]

THANK GOD. TAKE SA GIRL TOO

[Mr. Body]

Kinda see the Spurs matching.

[dabom]

Bye bitch. :lmao

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Full MLE? This is generous, well done Kyle. Too pricey for the Spurs I think.

[picnroll]

... and the hole at SF gets bigger and deeper. Don’t want Bertans. :depressed

[apalisoc_9]

Sagurl, probaly already made a memphisgirl account

[Holden_Caulfield]

lol we have no sf

[Uriel]

Spurs should match.

[NASpurs]

No way in hell the Spurs match this shit. :lol

[Chris]

Also, lol at Memphis handing out terrible contracts

Fathead getting a fat contract is hilarious tbh

I'm looking forward to watching him pass up open shots in Memphis.

[spurraider21]

good for him

[Mr. Body]

He's a good player. He's just a jump shot away from plus on both sides. I do see the Spurs matching.

[Dverde]

How do they even have that much to offer with Conley, Former Rocket/Mavs guy who is always hurt, Gasol like 100 million a year?

[BatManu20]

No way in hell the Spurs match this shit. :lol


Ya know, common sense says they don’t, but given last year’s offseason, I wouldn’t put it past them, tbh.

[rastaspur]

Patfo better not match. Its an easy decision and move for both sides.

Kyle doesnt even need to buy a plane ticket. Strap a helium tank to his back and he can float over there.

[spurraider21]

i wouldnt have been opposed to something like 2/18, especially if we're moving leonard. but it doesn't make sense to pay him starter/sixth man money for 4 years

[MoSpur02]

A lot of people crap on Kyle, but I think he's great in our system and has a high IQ. That said I don't think the Spurs should match. That's a little too much. I do think they will match unless they're getting a replacement for him via trade that involves Kawhi

[FkLA]

Fuuuuck

[spurraider21]

he would have fit in well during the grit and grind era. another defensive minded player with a disgusting offensive game.

[NASpurs]

Ya know, common sense says they don’t, but given last year’s offseason, I wouldn’t put it past them, tbh.

You make a valid and disturbing point.

[jag]

Grizzlies fans think the Spurs are going to match

[dabom]

Wheres his defense though? :lmao

Never saw that guy stop anyone.

[NASpurs]

Please don't match

1015401856904949760

[Spurs da champs]

He'll be missed on defense, but he's a liability on offense. Bye Kyle.

[tholdren]

he would have fit in well during the grit and grind era. another defensive minded player with a disgusting offensive game.

No hes too wimpy

[keithington1]

Match that. Only 9.25 a year. Hopefully Davis can get 5 or maybe not. One of Gay or Green is probably gone next year. He's too valuable with his corporate knowledge. I heard we had 16 mil to work with.

[BatManu20]

All 4 years guaranteed. Gross.


1015401856904949760

[sasaint]

Kinda see the Spurs matching.

I see it as a coin toss. One thing: at least the "Kyle drama" will be over in 48 hours.

[cjw]

This may impact Kawhi discussions too. If the deadline passes, teams will know the Spurs are even shallower at a key position.

[dabom]

Please don't match

1015401856904949760

Plus minus got another victim. Thank pop for playing him in spurts he ain't a liability and doesnt play him in crunch time. :lmao

Bye bye SAgirl

[Uriel]

The Spurs didn't draft Anderson and put him through their player development program for 4 years, only to see Memphis reap the fruits of their labor. They will match.

[james evans]

Goddamn everybody leaving lol

[spursistan]

no way we matching :lol

[dabom]

The Spurs didn't draft Anderson and put him through their player development program for 4 years, only to see Memphis reap the fruits of their labor. They will match.

100 bucks faggot. :lmao

[loveforthegame]

Interesting that everyone wants out.

[ducks]

Wut

Sighting

[FkLA]

Match him, imo.

Unless it's a full blown rebuild, with Pop retiring and LMA being traded, what other choice is there?

[Mr. Body]

Thing is, in three or four years this contract will be a bargain.

[ernest787]

God. All I'm asking for is that the spurs dont match and we get rid of this fathead loser.

I take that back. God. Also please let SAgirl and her terrible takes go to Memphis with him.

Amen.

[spurraider21]

Match him, imo.

Unless it's a full blown rebuild, with Pop retiring and LMA being traded, what other choice is there?
i think the contract is too long. in 1-2 years time we're going to be wanting to salary dump him.

even if kawhi's gone, this guy's not the answer at the 3

[NASpurs]

Goddamn everybody leaving lol

The Great Mass Exodus of 2018. Spurs are going to be returning like 3 coaches and players next year.

[SpursDynasty85]

Roughly 9m/yr. I think the Spurs match. We need pfs and sfs. We groomed KA only to see him walk to a division rival? No way! Unless we have another Rudy Gay or SF somewhere, they have to match.

[TheRemix]

Good. Don't want him on the squad. Too slow and can't shoot. Defense is solid but spurs need shooting and quickness

[timtonymanu]

We’ve come to the point where matching Fathead is a must :cry

[loveforthegame]

Players tired of waiting on what the FO is going to do with Leonard?

No Parker, possibly no Anderson, and likely no Leonard. Pop is going to have an interesting season.

[rastaspur]

Grizzlies fans think the Spurs are going to match

They probably will match. They invested alot in him. I just dont want him on a 4 year deal. It wouldnt be insane to match but i just want the spurs to go in a different direction and concetrate on developing an athletic prospect.

[ernest787]

Matching that contract will be a terrible deal. He cant shoot. If u rebuild, you dont rebuild with fathead.

[Texas_Ranger]

If only Gasol could go next...

[BatManu20]

Just think guys! If we match, we'll be paying Fathead and Patty a combined $75M over the next 4 seasons!



https://media.giphy.com/media/6Q3M4BIK0lX44/giphy.gif

[davidbowie]

is everyone having fun yet?

:depressed

[Dverde]

The fact the Spurs let Parker walk gives me hope they won’t match this garbage. We should be able to get a similar or better SF in whatever deal we make for Leonard.

[Mr. Body]

It occurs to me that the Spurs may have let Parker go in order to retain Anderson.

[bklynspursfan]

Players tired of waiting on what the FO is going to do with Leonard?

No Parker, possibly no Anderson, and likely no Leonard. Pop is going to have an interesting season.

I think Parker's decision was based on the role he would have here vs in Charlotte. Pop/RC wanted him back, I'm sure they would've signed him if he agreed to the terms. He was going to be a 3rd string PG at most here, probably with the occasional DNP-CD

[TrainOfThought5]

He's a good player. He's just a jump shot away from plus on both sides. I do see the Spurs matching.

Ill flip my shit If we spend for almost 10Mil a year for kyle fucking Anderson

[r0drig0lac]

well, he's rich now

[Spurs da champs]

It occurs to me that the Spurs may have let Parker go in order to retain Anderson.

Yup Ingram.

[gambit1990]

:tu

i'm hoping gasol wants to get bought out next :lol

[MoSpur02]

The fact the Spurs let Parker walk gives me hope they won’t match this garbage. We should be able to get a similar or better SF in whatever deal we make for Leonard.

Parker wasn't going to have a significant role. Anderson would play a significant role. So they might match

[objective]

That's a lot of money for him, good for him and his agent to get him a full MLE in this market

Kind of torn on the Spurs matching.

He's one of my least favorite players, and he embarrassed himself against GS last year ...

But MLE for a guy who never gets hurt and can absorb minutes at the 3/4 and defend reasonably ...

Much better than that crap deal they gave Mills who couldn't be counted on as a starter and couldn't defend anyone

If Manu isn't committed to coming back they might as well match. No real SF size other than Green and you can't count on Kawhi...

Ugh

[SpurPadre]

Fuck...we're matching this shit, unfortunately. Way too much money for a guy Pop is more athletic than, tbh. That being said, Kawhi might single handedly have destroyed det culture, tbh.

[FkLA]

i think the contract is too long. in 1-2 years time we're going to be wanting to salary dump him.

even if kawhi's gone, this guy's not the answer at the 3

Why is it too long? He's only 24 and I don't think he's hit his ceiling yet. If he develops a corner 3 and a reliable midrange game he'll be a bargain.

I don't think he's the answer to replacing Kawhi but he's starter material imo.

[NASpurs]

Patty Mills makes $12 mil and some change a year while Fathead would be almost making $10 mil a year. GTFO with that shit. :lol

As much as I hate Mills' contract, he's earned it. The only thing Fathead has earned is what Memphis is going to give him I guess. I rather they pay for it and not the Spurs.

[TimDunkem]

Gtfo, Kyle.

[SpursDynasty85]

Lance Stevenson got like 9 mill on 1 year this is pretty good value for KA. Takes up like 1/13th of the payroll.

Edit: nm.lance on a 1 yr 4.5. But still. Not outrageous and we are limited.

[NASpurs]

Saying that, PATFO is going to match and probably give him a loyalty raise. :lol

[Russ]

Relax. It's a bargain.

[LakerHater]

No way Spurs match!

[vy65]

It occurs to me that the Spurs may have let Parker go in order to retain Anderson.

This is the darkest timeline

[MoSpur02]

So have the Grizzlies made an offer to their own JaMychal Green?

I don't think the 4 years of investment and development mean anything in their decision

Corey Joseph had 4 years too

[Mr. Body]

Lance Stevenson got like 9 mill on 1 year this is pretty good value for KA. Takes up like 1/13th of the payroll.

People on this board have a little hate-circle jerk going over the wrong sorts of players.

[loveforthegame]

Just think guys! If we match, we'll be paying Fathead and Patty a combined $75M over the next 4 seasons!

Ew. JFC. And people complain Leonard stole 19 million.

[raybies]

About 99% sure they will match. It's common sense to me. They are hard capped and have about 20 something mill to go over to sign their players and use BAE and the rest of the MLE. Kyle is more valuable than Bertans and can play both forward positions. If Kyle takes the 8.5 mill per they will have around 12 mill more for the BAE and the rest of the MLE. When those two exceptions are used they'll have about 6 mill for Bertans etc. I know y'all don't like Kyle but it's not a bad deal for what he can do.

[spurraider21]

Why is it too long? He's only 24 and I don't think he's hit his ceiling yet. If he develops a corner 3 and a reliable midrange game he'll be a bargain.

I don't think he's the answer to replacing Kawhi but he's starter material imo.
its not too long in that i think he'll decline.

i just think its too long a commitment to a mediocre player to play a significant role.

[dabom]

If parker didn't get paid, you sure as fuck know fathead ain't getting more than that.

[SpursDynasty85]

Actually it all depends what we get back for Kawhi. Of it's a good sf/pf then KA is gone. Good for him.

[SpursBills]

Only way the spurs don't match is if they feel that Kyle hasn't worked to improve himself every year or that they have issues with his work ethic in general. If they match it'll be an indication that they feel he can continue to get better.

[r0drig0lac]

If only Gasol could go next...

[bdictjames]

Good for him. Hopefully we can move on and signs Putney or someone, maybe even Ledbetter or Blossomgame. We'll see.

[elemento]

bargain

Spurs will match it :downspin:

[sammy]

Damn are players are leaving! I’d rather have slo mo than Bertans! Damn!

[spurraider21]

Lance Stevenson got like 9 mill on 1 year this is pretty good value for KA. Takes up like 1/13th of the payroll.

Edit: nm.lance on a 1 yr 4.5. But still. Not outrageous and we are limited.
i'd gladly pay anderson 1/9. that's not the issue. its the 4 year commitment that is shitty and not worthwhile imo

[CGD]

Please don’t match

[ceperez]

Bertans likely gone too. Knicks may pick him up.

[hooperflash]

Quality backup, he’s just getting started too!

[Ron Swanson]

Actually it all depends what we get back for Kawhi. Of it's a good sf/pf then KA is gone. Good for him.

Then they have 48 hours to figure this shit out.

[Mr. Body]

i'd gladly pay anderson 1/9. that's not the issue. its the 4 year commitment that is shitty and not worthwhile imo

The dude is 24 years old. He'll be straight into his prime at the end of this contract.

[MoSpur02]

If the Spurs don't match then how much money do the Spurs have to spend on free agents?

[Spurs9]

Please don’t match

[FkLA]

I'm not sure if I've ever seen a Spurs player be so underappreciated. It's crazy how many people truly believe that he's some sort of scrub.

The fact that he managed to get that offer sheet, in a market year that has been stingy as hell speaks volumes about how badly some of you are underselling his game.

[spurraider21]

I guess the Anderson/Parker pic he posted makes sense now.

[FkLA]

0 dollars

[MoSpur02]

If the Spurs trade Kawhi to the Celtics they may get Morris. This might be Kyle's replacement

[raybies]

If the Spurs don't match then how much money do the Spurs have to spend on free agents?
none they are already hard capped. it makes sense to just match cause you can't get another player with cap...

Adrian WojnarowskiESPN
Restricted free-agent forward Kyle Anderson (http://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/2993874/kyle-anderson) has signed a four-year, $37.2 million offer sheet with the Memphis Grizzlies (http://www.espn.com/nba/team/_/name/mem/memphis-grizzlies), league sources told ESPN.
The San Antonio Spurs (http://www.espn.com/nba/team/_/name/sa/san-antonio-spurs) have 48 hours to match the offer, which includes a 15 percent trade kicker, league sources said. The Grizzlies used their full midlevel exception on the offer.

Anderson, 24, was a primary target of the Grizzlies, who've been determined to upgrade the small forward position. Anderson has had an outstanding plus-minus on defense the past two years.


The Grizzlies consider the offer sheet to Anderson an investment into the franchise's stated goal of recapturing the Grit-and-Grind culture under new coach JB Bickerstaff.
Anderson averaged 7.9 points and 5.4 rebounds in 26.7 minutes per game for the Spurs last season. He is expected to shoulder a larger role, especially if Kawhi Leonard (http://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/6450/kawhi-leonard) is traded this offseason. The Spurs have been positive about retaining him.
The Spurs drafted Anderson with the 30th pick in the 2014 NBA draft, after he left UCLA (http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/team/_/id/26/ucla-bruins) following his freshman season.

The dude is perfect for the modern NBA. And his 3 pt % been getting better every year. He'll figure it out sooner or later. People forget how effective he was in the pnr early in the year.... dunno why we went away from that.

[Dverde]

To quote Danny Ferry, he has a little Jeff Ayers in him. Let him go

[SpursDynasty85]

Then they have 48 hours to figure this shit out.

Lol. Good point. I like to think they have a good amount figured out about Kawhi now that Mike C. Wright appeared to get the go ahead from PATFO but who knows how that really went down.

[r0drig0lac]

I'm not sure if I've ever seen a Spurs player be so underappreciated. It's crazy how many people truly believe that he's some sort of scrub.

maybe, but that says more about how much the San Antonio development system is respected in the league

[spurraider21]

Are we sure it wasn't Bertans who signed that offer sheet?
lol bertans isn't sniffing any offers remotely close to that

his play hasn't warranted that yet.

[Mikeanaro]

Great for everyone.

[ElNono]

fuck yeah, Spurs better not match

[Mr. Body]

Bertans, wildly overrated by this board. Anderson, wildly underrated.

[dabom]

fuck yeah, Spurs better not match

My nigga.:hat

[NASpurs]

$20+ mil/yr combined for the next four years to two bench players. :lol

[phxspurfan]

Lol some of the reactions. Not sure if it would be a huge hit to lose him as he’s slow af and therefore limited in today’s nba. If we are in rebuild mode, which it looks like, we need to develop some more talent. Talent with higher potential

[dbestpro]

With the Spurs at a hard cap the Spurs will match. 9 mil per year seems like a lot this year, but will seem not so much in the years to come.

[Mr. Body]

What can he do?

He's not as good as Grayson Allen, that's for sure!

[raybies]

$20+ mil/yr combined for the next four years to two bench players. :lol
I'm not sure this helps but Mills and Anderson started last year... and may start this year...

[Robz4000]

Think the Spurs match, unfortunately. Hate the four year commitment, as others have said, but the Spurs' depth at SF assuming Kawhi is gone is nonexistent.

[spursistan]

I guess the Anderson/Parker pic he posted makes sense now.
Yeah, he probably knew they were both gone.

[NASpurs]

I'm not sure this helps but Mills and Anderson started last year... and may start this year...

They're not real starters, let's be truthful.

[SpursDynasty85]

$20+ mil/yr combined for the next four years to two bench players. :lol

Yeah nothing like hamstringing yourself to mediocrity. It's been like that for a couple of years now. You would think people would learn from the past.

This confirms Brandon Ingram is coming to SA.

[raybies]

With the Spurs at a hard cap the Spurs will match. 9 mil per year seems like a lot this year, but will seem not so much in the years to come.
yup there's gonna be cap spikes in the next couple years.. 9 ain't shit for his versatility. He's a solid rotation player. Can play like 1-5 depending on lineups.

[picnroll]

So everybody so excited to see Anderson leave, who you have at SF?

[FkLA]

i would agree with you if it wasnt from the team that gave Chandler Parson 94 million to sit on the bench

There's no fanfare/big name element when it comes to Fathead though. His offer is all based on hard work and the type of impact the numbers say he had. Parsons was a semi big name that had already enjoyed a max contract prior to Memphis. Dumb af given his medical history but I think Memphis was looking for a splash. This isn't splash worthy it's just based on merit, imo.

[ducks]

I'm not sure if I've ever seen a Spurs player be so underappreciated. It's crazy how many people truly believe that he's some sort of scrub.

Spurs had a player name tp once

[raybies]

They're not real starters, let's be truthful.
Kyle is. Just depends on the team. As a 5th man with stars around him he'd be great. He ain't bad at anything.. just not great either. Kid's a swiss army knife.

[ElNono]

So everybody so excited to see Anderson leave, who you have at SF?

Gay

[tonight...you]

Eh... team already has Mini-Fathead now.
Guy was expendable.

and our team sucked ass this year so that's saying a lot.

All 4 years guaranteed is not fun though. Fuck you Memphis.

Gay and/or whoever comes back in the Leonard trade.

Tobias Harris was like 16

What can he do?

Lose a foot race against Donald Trump and Kim Jong Il.

[ducks]

Not thrilled with money but he started
If Leonard goes spurs would need a player at that position

[MoSpur02]

I think the Spurs will actually wait till the trade Kawhi goes down. I think it'll happen very soon and they'll see what they get. After that they'll decide on matching Anderson

[NASpurs]

Kyle is. Just depends on the team. As a 5th man with stars around him he'd be great. He ain't bad at anything.. just not great either. Kid's a swiss army knife.

He's not starting forward material for this San Antonio Spurs team then. He can be for some shitty team I guess.

[loveforthegame]

Tobias Harris was like 16
what's your point?

no offense, just not seeing a correlation to anything signifigant.

[Kawhitstorm]

Just think guys! If we match, we'll be paying Fathead and Patty a combined $75M over the next 4 seasons!

[pad300]

Kinda see the Spurs matching.

Yeah, at that price, I would to.

Every overall statistical measure says he gets above average results - VORP 3.0 BPM 4.1 ws/48 .151 PER 15.9 RPM 3.12 wp48 .196 , and he still young enough (24) and has clear ways to improve his game - a faster, more accurate 3 pt shot. A long term deal at the MLE is a good deal. We should match.

[Kawhitstorm]

does anyone know the numbers on everyone else on this list??

Bargain.

and our team sucked ass this year so that's saying a lot.

Remind me his +/- in the postseason.:wakeup

I stopped reading when I noticed Robert Covington having the best +/- :sleep

[raybies]

He's not starting forward material for this San Antonio Spurs team then. He can be for some shitty team I guess.
We'll I'm pretty sure in any trade he'd be starting day 1 even if he we get a sf in a trade. You think Pop's gonna start some kid from another team who hasn't done shit for the franchise?? Always next man up in this system. Any wing gonna have to earn it.

[FkLA]

Remember when everyone laughed at me for saying I'd take Boris Diaw over GS David Lee? It's not all about scoring, man. Some players can be special without having to score a bunch. I'm placing my stake on Fathead. He's my new Diaw. He'll rot in Memphis just like Diaw was rotting in Charlotte, but he will thrive here. Have to match, tbh.

What is a trade kicker?

[baseline bum]

fuck yeah, Spurs better not match

:bobo

[ducks]

What is a trade kicker?

his salary is 15 percent more if he is traded

[raybies]

Remind me his +/- in the postseason.:wakeup

I stopped reading when I noticed Robert Covington having the best +/- :sleep

he had a bad playoffs... happens to everyone. he did better the year before... but real talk the covington ish is funny tho LOL I think he's trash. and the kid is making 15 mill and is like 28 to put things in perspective...

[Wu36]

He’s worth less than 10% payroll. Rather him at 4/37 than Mills 4/50.

[spursistan]

Lavar Anderson would threaten his son will sit out 2018-19 if the Spurs match..

[Ron Swanson]

What is a trade kicker?

It's a bonus paid to the player if they are traded. 15% is the max allowed and the player can waive it.

[ducks]

this might speed up the leonard thing

[bklynspursfan]

Idk if he's a starting caliber player, he did much better coming off the bench. Especially with the lack of shooting.. Be interesting to see what happens. Any other FA's who could potentially get signed to replace him?

[Kawhitstorm]

he had a bad playoffs... happens to everyone. he did better the year before... but real talk the covington ish is funny tho LOL I think he's trash. and the kid is making 15 mill and is like 28 to put things in perspective...

Yeah, had a better playoff the year before when the Spurs were getting smoked by 40

[spursistan]

Cute little regular season player. Too much money guaranteed for someone who has been total non-factor in the playoffs. Nothing against Kyle, but SA should let him go get paid elsewhere.

[NASpurs]

We'll I'm pretty sure in any trade he'd be starting day 1 even if he we get a sf in a trade. You think Pop's gonna start some kid from another team who hasn't done shit for the franchise?? Always next man up in this system. Any wing gonna have to earn it.

:lol sounds like you're saying that Anderson only starts (and would start) because the Spurs don't really have a choice and because he's been here for a long time rather than his skills. Not really selling your point.

[LkrFan]

1015404119622758400

Then again if they don't match it might mean they take some crap like Ingram for Leonard, and I'd much rather match Anderson than take that kind of shit in return.

[Rocalcio]

Spurs should match.

This tbh

[raybies]

anyone who thinks the organization is gonna be more in a rush because of this is just silly. it's not that big a deal. if spurs don't use this money then what are they gonna do with the rest of the room??? Give bertans and forbes 15+ combined for next year. yall need some help man. this board has no sense...

He had a bad playoffs because he was tasked with filling in for a Top 3 player and going head to head with another Top 3 player. He's a solid complimentary piece not a centerpiece and his offer sheet reflects that.

Diaw helped that Charlotte team to one of its few playoff appearances, tbh...

Just too slow for this NBA game I believe. I mean, we're a slow team in itself, but still.

Who gives a shit if Kawhi leaves at that point. He's still on the roster last time I checked and might get a SF back if he gets traded.

And with Kawhi on the roster, you don't pay his backup $10 mil a year. Figure that shit out later, don't hamstring yourself.

[Rocalcio]

i think the contract is too long. in 1-2 years time we're going to be wanting to salary dump him.

even if kawhi's gone, this guy's not the answer at the 3


The he kid is getting better and better each year. Nothing’s too long with that.

Yea idk what Chicago was thinking lol

[Ron Swanson]

We're hard-capped. We don't have shit to sign FAs, other than our own.

[Rocalcio]

Players tired of waiting on what the FO is going to do with Leonard?

No Parker, possibly no Anderson, and likely no Leonard. Pop is going to have an interesting season.

If it goes on like this Pop will be the next one leaving...

I would not be surprised. They're done trying to get him to stay.

Well we have no idea who the Spurs could be getting in a trade. The Spurs have an idea, so it will be interesting to see how it unfolds. Never been a fan of Anderson, 9mil seems like too much for 4 years, Spurs have enough bad contracts.

[SpursDynasty85]

Source?

[NASpurs]

LOL wat?

:lol come on brah, we even have a special thread for you here

[raybies]

solid troll bum.. i don't see anything

[SAS=Kawhi]

On one hand it seems like it's too much years to commit to a player that imo hasnt proved enough to deserve the full MLE. Youre kind of paying for his potential instead of his current ability in my eyes, which is always risky.
On the other hand how are you going to replacement with 2.7M that we have left from the MLE/3.3M of the BAE? Mbah a Mouse?Corey Brewer??? Probably not

My best guess is they match

[ducks]

Have the Spurs matched or is bb bs'ing us? :lol

not on Adrian tweet yet

Wanted five years between $40-45 Million. This is fine.

He's making about the same as Matthew Dellavedova if that makes you feel better.

[Ron Swanson]

Where do you see spurs matched?? Didn't see it on woj or shams Twitter

It's a done deal. Kyle is on a plane heading to a city southwest of Memphis.

[K...]

Welcome back kyle, keep doing the dirty shit and let the offense come. Kyle has always been made to fit pop's whims and never been able to play his game. He has grown much ut not like kawhi. Thing is no one grows like kwahi so it isn't a fair consideration. Kyle can be our 2nd small ball PF behind Rudy. He'll get play. you don't have to score to be effective and he can probably be taught a decent outside shot if that's his new role.

[mo7888]

done deal

And less than Green who signed his contract what 3-4 years ago?? lol and then the cap jumps a couple times over the next couple year's. This IS a good deal for him and us. I just don't like the trade kicker but w/e.

I don't know about very reasonable. I was kind of hoping we could get him for much cheaper with how stingy the market has been this year but you still have to match, tbh.


Isn't filling in for a Top 3 player going to be his role next season?

Except $20 mill worth of cap space won't be wasted. And roster construction will no longer be done with the assumption that there is a Top 3 player at SF.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

what an offseason!!!

[SpurOutofTownFan]

at this rate the Spurs won't have any salaries to pay !!!! wow!!!

[objective]

The only sure way matching becomes a bad deal is if Kawhi and the Spurs make nice. Then there's no room for him, with Gay coming back and getting minutes. Anderson might go down to under 15 minutes a game with a trade kicker

Also, he would eat into any capspace if they let Kawhi walk. Everyone will have space though, might not be worth that much

[SpursStar]

Let him walk, IMO he is nowhere near that much money.
