wasn't there a photo of Kawhi with Rudy, Danny, Forbes, DJ. Am glad we are bringing all those guys back. Before you hate Bryn, don't forget he played well of us last year until he ran out of gas towards the end of the season. Which is reasonable since he played in summer league and didn't really take a break last summer.

Kawhi should be honored to play with proven playoff backboard snipers like these:

Danny green - 5/25 (25 3P%)

Btw, you're also a moron because in this very thread, I already reacted negatively to the notion of it being even 14M or 7 per year. That's too much.

I wouldn't say he's exclusively a 3 pt specialist. He worked on his in between game and progressed on that as the season unfolded.

This is just poor talent evaluation. A lot guys can shoot like Curry in practice. And it isn't his overrated, unclutch shooting per se. It's that he is quite possibly the worst guard defender in the league. Forbes makes Gary Neal look like Gary Payton on defense.

I'd agree he was atrocious at the start, but I think he got way better as the season went on. And again, he might be asked to be a primary 3 or shooter off the bench, and just funnel the guys inside. You know Pop has a defensive system that has remained at or very near the top for 21 years. Stop placing your talent evaluations above goat coach.

If someone’s on the team I’ll root for their success no doubt. But about his confidence, there’s a reason why it’s low almost always after a high.. the dude has super low BBIQ. Almost exclusively on D. Unfortunately it’ll always be the same story unless he’s a guy that only comes in with the intent of shooting (per Pops order) or if he comes in at garbage time.

Other than that he’s at best a net 0 and a wasted signing.

The point is the team has no forwards, besides post Achilles 32 yr old Gay and a guy who wants to plays somewhere else, and whether the two you had as backups are overvalued or not, they had experience, and were proven. The ones you are getting from the gleague are a gamble. It’s very much fine to take them as depth and see if they develop but another to take them in fresh from the gleague to be rotation players right away. That’s the point.

Forbes is not that bad. He can become a nice spark plug, he has a nice in between game and he knows how to use his 3PT shot as a threat to get past defenders. I actually don't think he's a bad defender either unless he's put on guys that tower over him (like Klay) which is more on Pop than him. He's overagressive on closeouts sometimes but that can be improved with more playing time/experience.

Much rather have him than Belli. He is redundant though, that's the real issue more than his game.

This guy was our best shooter last year. All the guards sucked because of inconsistency from our pg and no playingmaking as Kawhi and Gay were out for so long. Bring in some better pieces for playmaking and penetration Bryn could easily play a 8th man role and score some points against smaller line ups.

Nothing SA has done this offseason can be considered truly bad, but I hate it nonetheless.

Bringing back Rudy - why
Letting TP walk - ok, i’m Ok with it but it was not a big deal he signed.
Using your MLE on Beli - why
Signing forbes after you have a ton of guards already and used your most valuable asset outside of Kawhi on Beli- why
Not matching Kyle who is a very good player - why

Nothing that does any real damage, but kind of stupid all of it.

because the numbers are irrelevant. i'd be upset even if we learned it was for the vet minimum.

Fair enough. I might be too if the numbers are out of sync with his role that I'd expect him to have. But again, I'll still wait until I see what opus RC is working on with the Kawhi trade.

Cant people understand that there are a LOT of moves still to be made. What looks like solid bitching ground today, might not even be solid ground by start of the season.

The point is the team has no forwards, besides post Achilles 32 yr old Gay and a guy who wants to plays somewhere else, and whether the two you had as backups are overvalued or not, they had experience, and were proven. The ones you are getting from the gleague are a gamble. It’s very much fine to take them as depth and see if they develop but another to take them in fresh from the gleague to be rotation players right away. That’s the point.

Do we know that this is RCs ultimate plan? What happens if we trade with Philly for exactly the kind of player you say we need? Or bring over one of stashes?

Disagree Belli and Gay deals are solid value unless you are adamant we rebuild. Not matching Kyle is tough. That's a good chunk of change for a player that does not fit the roster as currently constructed.

True. The one thing I really hated was Pop played him in situations he was overmatched probably 75% of the time. He’s slotted as a wing and he’s not only short, but also short armed and average in athleticism. If he was matched with guys similar to him he could rock and had some very good scoring games last season but obviously he played overmatched a ton and he really only knows scoring. Doesn’t do anything else. For a guy who doesn’t do anything else well he also wasn’t that great of a scorer, very streaky. He’s depth I tend to think. Although the prospect of him being spotted as a wing is something I dread.

A Philly trade , or any Kawhi trade that brings forwards to the team is the only thing that makes sense. In that case, Bertans agent has a small window to not screw this up and overplay his hand.

If someone’s on the team I’ll root for their success no doubt. But about his confidence, there’s a reason why it’s low almost always after a high.. the dude has super low BBIQ. Almost exclusively on D. Unfortunately it’ll always be the same story unless he’s a guy that only comes in with the intent of shooting (per Pops order) or if he comes in at garbage time.

Other than that he’s at best a net 0 and a wasted signing.

Maybe Pop has had him taking crash course lessons in film study this summer much like he wants a guy with a bad shot getting up 5000 shots a day.

Or he might be part of a trade and he's being signed as the request of another teams trade package.

I'll take a wait and see.

Im fine with Gay at one year, I just don’t love it. I’m fine with Beli but not if you are bringing back forbes.

Absolutely disgusting, the Spurs were significantly worse whenever he was on the floor, he might be the worst defender I've ever seen in a Spurs uniform..not just lacking in physical tools, but he also has horrible instincts..

I'd understand the shooter argument if they didn't just acquire Belinelli..

Even assuming that there will be a trade for one of the non-Kawhi wings(which seems like a given, at this point), there will still be a logjam..the ONLY thing to look forward to this season is playing time for Walker/White(and Murray, I guess), but they keep adding players who will end up ahead of them on the depth chart..

I expect Kawhi to be gone, and Covington and Saric may end up being on this team before the season starts, and Manu to retire.

You won't have much to say during the regular season when Forbes is running around the court like a chicken with his head chopped off, constantly missing his defensive assignments and then shoots a bunch of airballs on the other end.

I won't defend a second season of that. What makes you think I would. I think a cheap contract is fine for someone with his shooting skills though.

Does no one on this board remember the shouts for more shootiers last year? He was the most efficient 3Pt shooter on our team. Sometimes people get better at the mistakes they made previously. I'm willing to bet his coaches have been and will continue to work with him on those deficiencies. I'm also willing to bet he'll be better next year. If he is, then a vet minimum contract is a great deal. Especially when we need a 3pt shooter off the bench to get us going.

The Spurs had plenty of supposed shooters, just none of them could actually shoot. Forbes is chief among them.

As if Forbes pathetic little deal makes this turd any better. It's a waste of a roster spot to give a deal to a glorified YMCA baller. Plain and simple.

He was the leading three pt shooter on sa last year. Hes the only player who could get a shot off the dribble without taking 24 seconds to do so. Spurs sign guys like this every year. Not sure where you have been, but i told you all.

He may be a glorified ymca player, and im glad youre starting to agree w me on talent level of nba. It is only getting worse

I think it's clear that POP is transitioning to the young and athletic game--Metu and Walker and White are evidence of that. He's going to try and get out and run. Transition game. Lots of off ball screens. Back cuts. Small ball. Run and gun, wear your opponent down. A Beautiful game hybrid, if you will.

Who said he only played garbage time? The issue is wasting money on mediocre players who will (continue) to take time away from better, younger players. When the game mattered Forbes couldn't hit for shit, but when the game was out of reach he'd become Curry.

I took your post to be that he elevated his shooting percentage in garbage time.

Look, I think at a cheap deal, hes a solid value, given that he has an upside off the bench this board seems to be overlooking.
