View Full Version : Still puzzled why we couldn't give Forbes a minimum deal off the bench?

Seriously, after all the time we spend developing him and teaching him our system and schemes, what is the down side of keeping him around for the minimum? Let him come off the bench and fire off a few 3's a game. If he's cold and gets beat defensively, then we yank him and try again in 2 games (yes, we'll sit him for a game if possible). We have no three point shooters besides Patty on this team.

Pocket change for a knockdown three point specialist? I don't get it...

He went 6-6 on 3s today off the bench for MIL. Don't forget that it was him that made Game 7 in 2019 against the Nuggets competitive.

Legit, the Spurs actually could not give Forbes the min without going into the tax.

There will be games he scores a lot. But net (games he did well - games he didnt) will be negative. And net we will end up losing more.
bucks has a stronger defensive team to cover for his lack of defense. We gace derozan and aldridge.

The Forbes hate around here should be attributed to Pop moreso than Forbes himself. That said, glad he's gone.

Didn't he sign elsewhere for more than the minimum? Why would he take less to stay?

A lot of people didn’t mind him in that roll at all. Regardless... if he could get a huge ontract elsewhere why would he stay?

Now what a lot of people bitched about was how Pop was in basketball love with this guy. Couldn’t help but put him in a big role. Beacause of that I say.... good riddance!

we have contract year FIBA patty and its overkill to have both. And the scola role of this generation is kyle anderson - as we will see him with the most talent he has ever seen as the grizzlies routinely wax our asses for the next few years

His minimum was 1.7 mil and Milwaukee signed him into part of their MLE for 2.3 mil. If your career will likely be a series of minimum contracts, would you be taking discounts?

You wanting to him to stay ruined a good question. Why did pop invest so heavily on Bryn Forbes and impede other teammates progress,only to let him go for cheap.

the spurs do share a connection with the bucks, think that may have something to do with it.

7/14 on threes in a close-out game on the road... after putting in 22 points in game 2 on 6/9 shooting from three.

The problem was never Forbes it was a senile HOF coach not using him or rest of team properly. Limited player not a starter but can be effective in a role situation. Glad he got a shot with a real team these days.

KimmyGib
05-29-2021, 04:35 PM
It was always known he's a great 3 shooter. But there was one guy that thought he was something more; unfortunately that one guy was the head coach of the Spurs.

GreekSpursfan
05-29-2021, 06:00 PM
Lol at people blaming Pop the coach, it's Pop the POBO you should blame because we don't have a guy that his gravity would allow players like Forbes to thrive. The moment Kawhi left we should've tanked straight away, that was the only mistake Pop did but it was big.

Dverde
05-29-2021, 08:39 PM
I thought he was fine as a bench scorer. Pop kept filling his head that he was a starter. I don’t think it would have worked with a demoted role from his last year here.

EasyMoney
05-29-2021, 08:39 PM
He benefits off the bucks because they have defenders that can hide him on that side of the ball. He went from playing with patty, Marco, demar, rudy to jrue, khris and giannis. Haha

You’re an idiot if you think Forbes on this years team was gonna make a difference. Pop would have been playing him in the wrong role like usual.

Blackhaus
05-29-2021, 09:37 PM
Hmmm, bucks top 3 player are Giannis, Middleton and Holiday. Spurs top are Derozan, white and Murray..... hmmm let’s see which teams supporting players are going to have better numbers due to the stars they play with. There was a no win situation if he stayed here, similar to what pop did with mills all year. Just shows the total lack of talent on the Spurs compared to a top team in the league.

barakz21
05-30-2021, 09:36 AM
Because he’s a defensive liability taking away minutes from the younglings, literally has no other skills except for 3pt shooting and is useless if his shots aren’t falling?

ceperez
05-30-2021, 09:42 AM
Let's be clear, if you got Yanis as your team mate, a high percentage shooter like Forbes is going to thrive despite his deficit on defense.

Spurs don't have a Yanis.
