OMG.

No.

Right when I warmed up to liking this offseason.

[BatManu20]

Mugen (https://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=15519) Get in here. Let’s celebrate :lmao

:danceclub

[timvp]

I was legit happy for a couple minutes.

[BatManu20]

Literally had to do a double-take. Unreal.


He’s going to 100% steal minutes from our young guards. PATFO just couldn’t help themselves.

[timvp]

Is this real life?

[davi78239]

Uh oh….

[BatManu20]

You too Dejounte (https://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=51342) Dex (https://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=403) and Robz4000 where y’all at :lol

[Kori Ellis]

Gas up the river boats.

[PhantomDashCam]

Holy cow!
Saw Weiskamp shoot in Summer League? It's just one game Spurs, sheesh.

[timvp]

I thought my guy BatManu20 was joking. I clicked on the thread wanting to see what the punch line was.

Our boy is back!

CREAM Team :depressed

[Robz4000]

Fuck. My. Life.

[Blackhaus]

My heart sunk, and is sinking…….I’m sick

[timvp]

I was so looking forward to watching a team without DeRozan and Mills. Then they bring back the guy makes those two look like prime Bruce Bowen on defense.

[DPG21920]

I hate this FO

[Russ]

You poor little things.

Welcome home, Bryn.

[timtonymanu]

I thought it was a joke until I saw who the OP is. :lol

Holy fucking shit, the front office has really fallen far.

[timvp]

Literally (literally literally) the worst defender in the NBA. And he'll start at shooting guard.

I was 95% finished writing my offseason grades -- now gotta delete everything I wrote.

Why you do dis?

[offset formation]

meh I actually don't hate it provided he plays as a pure SG. With the right teammates. he won't be playing D beside DDR or Mills or Belli ever again.

so long as he has Poeltl and Luka and Dejounte and Derrick this isn't a bad team help defense to put around him.

I'm in you sumnabitches.

[TDomination]

But now as a seasoned NBA champion!

he will be the only one on the roster with a ring lol

Haha I can’t believe it, unreal.

he’s going to retire a spur, book it

[TDomination]

But now as a seasoned NBA champion!

[baseline bum]

Jesus fucking christ, fuck this front office. Now Pop's pet is back to piss himself on the floor and still get 25-30 minutes a night.

[timtonymanu]

Wait till Autist Spur comes in and defends det one. “Bryn is just below Manu and Tony in terms of guard talent.”

[Mugen]

WHAT.THE.ACTUAL.FUCKING.FUCK.

[Rito3d30]

Finally....the biggest FA signing
Bryn "The Ring" Forbes:toast

[timvp]

I was let, alright, cool, they signed some crippled guy who may never walk again for $22 million -- that could be an honest mistake. They signed Marco McBellidermott for $42 million. Aight, not optimal but whatev. Made up for by destroying the Bulls in that trade and signing Jock. Roster looked nice and open -- no limited players in the way of up and coming talent.

Then Bryn comes back. Mr. Limited who will directly steal minutes from the best talent. I'd way rather have Mills or Gay than Forbes.

My god.

[davi78239]

This has become really entertaining

[Mugen]

Any modicum of joy from Derozan/Patty/Gay being off the team was immediately zapped by bringing back this fucking trash nerd.

This POS is probably going to start now knowing that senile old fuck.

Fuck this FO so damn much.

[baseline bum]

I was so looking forward to watching a team without DeRozan and Mills. Then they bring back the guy makes those two look like prime Bruce Bowen on defense.

If I had any sense I wouldn't watch this team next year, buy any any tickets, buy any new gear, I mean this is near unforgiveable.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

I can’t fucking believe how far this franchise has fallen….

[lefty20]

I don't even.... why? Just why?

[davi78239]

Pop be like “we needed to add back the championship pedigree we lost with Mills”

[Robz4000]

To make things worse, this means someone is being cut or traded. They have more players than roster spots.

[BWS-1994]

Well many did wish for a tank… :lol

[DPG21920]

Tell me you finally hate this FO

[TDomination]

45% from 3pt last year
47% overall FG

whats not to like??

haha

[Robz4000]

Can anyone convince me to bother watching this team at all next season?

[Blackhaus]

2 for 20mil? Gotta pay for that champ pedigree

[Rito3d30]

Obviously they think some of the young guards are not ready for next season......how can they be ready if they never play....smh

[gambit1990]

he won’t be worse then he was before.

:lmao :lmao :lmao good offseason y’all said. Right direction y’all said. Trust in PATFO y’all said. Y’all know he gon start

[timvp]

Tell me you finally hate this FO

I gotta sit back and think to make sure I'm not overreacting but I got damn hate this signing right this moment, tbh.

[aksyunstar]

this can't be real :lmao :rollin

[BWS-1994]

To make things worse, this means someone is being cut or traded. They have more players than roster spots.

Same thought. Unless, someone’s badly injured? Has Derrick White’s injury healed fully?

[Spursfanfromafar]

I dont hate it if Bryn is going to be coming off the bench and playing the Patty role. Which he near damn did very well for the Bucks shooting lights out last season. If he is going to start and Pop is going to play him over DJ/ White.. goddamn it.

[playblair]

Literally (literally literally) the worst defender in the NBA. And he'll start at shooting guard.

I was 95% finished writing my offseason grades -- now gotta delete everything I wrote.

Why you do dis?
you watched a full season of derozan & gay literally stop & stand not even try to close on shooters & u call bryn the worst defender stop over dramatizing ish........i will take all the effort bryn gives on defense over they ish derozan & gay did

[timtonymanu]

:lmao :lmao :lmao good offseason y’all said. Right direction y’all said. Trust in PATFO y’all said. Y’all know he gon start

“Spurs have cap space to bring in max talent, they don’t need high lottery picks.”

Shit, I don’t even trust them with a top 3 pick at this point :lol. They would draft the current version of Darko Milicic.

[toki9]

Wow. OK. You just have to laugh at this one. Wow.

[timtonymanu]

I dont hate it if Bryn is going to be coming off the bench and playing the Patty role. Which he near damn did very well for the Bucks shooting lights out last season. If he is going to start and Pop is going to play him over DJ/ White.. goddamn it.

Spurs need “vets” and he pretty much fits the role. :lol. Of course he’s going to play major minutes.

[lefty20]

I'd rather have TOSB Green coming back over this, tbh.

[aksyunstar]

people who have been slurping this guy up every time he had a decent game on the bucks, you can celebrate now :lol

[baseline bum]

Couldn't even enjoy DeRozan being gone for 24 hours. What the fuck is next, are they going to retire Richard Jefferson's number on opening night? Hire Uncle Dennis as an assistant coach? Turn off the AC for good in the AT&T Center? Build the next stadium in the Alazan-Apache Courts?

[John B]

:lmao:lmao:lmao I had to read it twice... :lmao:lmao:lmao

[timvp]

Who is it gonna be timvp?

No idea. I guess KBD could be on the cutting block -- or Aminu could get bought out if he's as broken as it appears.

[RC_Drunkford]

Let’s bet we are paying him more than what the Nets pay Mills

[playblair]

Can anyone convince me to bother watching this team at all next season?
how i felt last year with gay/lma/mills/derozan so i did not watch any game last year..........this year will be fun with the young players

[John B]

Bruh I was ready to go to bed thinking it wasn't a bad day after all, especially after Jock... :lmao:lmao:lmao

The Bucks couldn't afford him, but the Spurs can??? :bang

Advanced stats literally show Forbes is the worst defender in the NBA. The eye-test agrees.

[John B]

I guess they need a winning culture since FIBA Patty is gone??? :lmao:lmao:lmao

[BWS-1994]

Bruh I was ready to go to bed thinking it wasn't a bad day after all, especially after Jock... :lmao:lmao:lmao

The Bucks couldn't afford him, but the Spurs can??? :bang

It was rumored that the Bucks plan to bring back George Hill. And Forbes decided not to return to the Bucks because he disn’t play the last 3 Finals games :lol

[RC_Drunkford]

This FO loves to go in circles. Let’s all the shooters go cause the team needs more defense. Doesn’t have enough shooting for the next season. Signs the same no defense playing shooters the season after :lmao I wouldn’t be surprised if we traded these Bulls picks for DeRozan next season

[Ditty]

Does it make me less of a fan that I hope we lose every fucking this season and they fire every single fucking chode in the front office? God I hate this fucking team now. Please Holt’s do fucking something !

Brian Wrong is seriously the modern version of David Khan.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

I just can’t believe this shit man :lol Brian Wright is just fucking with us at this point

[Mugen]

This isn't even on that retard, Brian. This is 1000% an old man call. Fuck Pop.

[Robz4000]

Brian Wrong is seriously the modern version of David Khan.

It's honestly frightening how similar they are. He's gonna set the franchise back a decade-plus.

[timtonymanu]

Does it make me less of a fan that I hope we lose every fucking this season and they fire every single fucking chode in the front office? God I hate this fucking team now. Please Holt’s do fucking something !

It’s better than blind homers like Atl Spur enabling the front office and all their shit moves like this is still the Duncan era. :lol. That reputation they use to have is long gone, my god we are like the lottery Lakers of the last few years.

[ElNono]

So did Jock get a minimum deal and Forbes get $6 million?

[toki9]

Does this mean they'll pull KBD's QO?

[Floyd Pacquiao]

This isn't even on that retard, Brian. This is 1000% an old man call. Fuck Pop.
It’s just plain old fucking nepotism. I’m not watching another game if that man plays 1 minute

[Robz4000]

This makes the McDipshit signing even worse.

Drafting second round talent in the lottery because maybe he would have been a lottery pick in a year all of a sudden doesn't seem so stupid now in comparison does it?

[hombre]

This is the stupidest shit yet

[ElNono]

The only way I wouldn't absolutely hate this signing is if Giannis would come with him, tbh

[RC_Drunkford]

So who’s playing time is he gonna take? My guess is Vassell, but it might be Lonnie. Who knows what the old man‘s plan is. I‘m not watching any games this season

I would have preferred Belinelli. At least he wouldn't start.

[Kurgan]

I'm so fucking mad at this FO I want to punch a wall. I don't want to imagine how many years this contract is. Two years of watching him start for us made me hate basketball. I don't think I have the will or patience to endure this bullshit again.

[TimmehC]

Still possible Aminu/Young get re-routed elsewhere for additional picks. Or other moves could be coming. But if there's no additional context for this... just, what the fuck

Can we bring back Paul George, tbh?

[timvp]

Man, they should have taken the money they gave Zollins and Forbes and given it to Danny Green. That would have legit been fun and Green would be great for the youngster to learn from.

[Ditty]

Funny true story I was just talking to my barber today about Bryn who also cuts his hair as he still lives in San Antonio during the offseason with his family. Maybe my barber told Bryn something which caused him to reach out to the Spurs that he wanted to come back :lol . I am sorry!

[BatManu20]

Oh man. I couldn’t stop laughing there for a minute, but this legit ruined my night. What an awful way to cap off free agency.

[BillMc]

I mean they wouldn't start him again, would they? In a spot role off the bench, maybe....

But I guess the FO is really unimpressed with Lonnie....and maybe Devin....

Man, they should have taken the money they gave Zollins and Forbes and given it to Danny Green. That would have legit been fun and Green would be great for the youngster to learn from.

Too early. We will trade the 3 Bulls picks, Dejounte Murray, Lonnie Walker and Jakob Poeltl for Danny Green and DeMar DeRozan next season. Alzheimovich is in full effect

[Atl Spur]

Ben Simmons got to be coming.....

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Tank commander :lol

[timvp]

I mean they wouldn't start him again, would they?

We know how this story ends, unfortch.

[timvp]

I love it. Always wanted to see him in a Spurs Uniform.

[BWS-1994]

Ben Simmons got to be coming.....

You called the Zollich signing, yeah? But I doubt the 76ers would want what the Spurs have right now.

[DPG21920]

So did Jock get a minimum deal and Forbes get $6 million?

A few things things:


Bryn opts out of his deal after falling out of the PO rotation due to defense and still gets a deal from SA

There’s no justification for having him on this team but if it’s anything more than the min it’s ridiculous

If Mills was let go for 2/12 and Bryn is equal or more it’s grounds for firing.

He should not be back, but if it’s for more than Mills got it’s especially damming

[ElNono]

Somebody fess up, admit this is a troll thread...

[BillMc]

We know how this story ends, unfortch.

Ugh.... Even Bud figured out he couldn't play Forbes if he wanted to win a championship.

[jeebus]

Now I know how Nero felt at the end of Star Trek 2009, when Kirk offered to save him and Nero said he preferred to suffer the end of Romulus a thousand times as well as die in agony than accept assistance from Kirk. Fuck Forbes.

[BatManu20]

Feel like Tre Jones is the one who’s really going to get screwed by this.

[BillMc]

Now I know how Nero felt at the end of Star Trek 2009, when Kirk offered to save him and Nero said he preferred to suffer the end of Romulus a thousand times as well as die in agony than accept assistance from Kirk. Fuck Forbes.

[LakerHater]

FIRE Brian Wright & Buford IMMEDIATELY!!!!

[objective]

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT

ALL you people strutting around all happy, "no vets to block the young players! Sink or swim, now they'll know! They chose a direction!"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA AHAHAHA

The young players aren't getting SHIT

Young, McDermott and Forbes will combine for 100 minutes a game!

The pet is back!

[Slippy]

I was so looking forward to watching a team without DeRozan and Mills. Then they bring back the guy makes those two look like prime Bruce Bowen on defense.
This ..Was on high after Jocks announcement, back down to earthnow. Spurs and pop cant help themselfs .. ffs

[BillMc]

Feel like Tre Jones is the one who’s really going to get screwed by this.

Yep. He'll be inactive a lot of nights. But it'll cut into every guard's time.

[timvp]

Forbes' contract is going to be relatively small but all that means is he'll play more because the Spurs want to be the good guys and increase his stock since he's such a great character guy.

I guess the CREAM Team wasn't complete without Captain Cream :depressed

[J_Paco]

I mean they wouldn't start him again, would they? In a spot role off the bench, maybe....

But I guess the FO is really unimpressed with Lonnie....and maybe Devin....

Likely the backup PG minutes and he plays a role similar to Patty.

I absolutely hate this move, but they probably feel like Tre Jones isn't ready for significant PG duties/minutes and it gives them "time" to see if Primo can learn the position.

Sucks to see him back, TBH.

[Mr. Body]

Confused as fuck. We're also over one player even after Aminu is cut, I think.

[MI21]

How did you guys get Shams in on this obvious joke?

Well played!

[LCM]

Maybe signed him to be the ball boy ... but they only see him going into and out of Pop's office!! Disgusting signing!!

[timvp]

How did you guys get Shams in on this obvious joke?

Well played!

:lol :cry

[Mugen]

God, that old fuck needs to retire asap.

[spurs1990]

Forbs didn't even play in the finals games. Even Bud knew he was an absolute liability on the court.
And I could've sworn this trash played had signed somewhere else on some online reports.

Belinelli-Derozan-Forbes of 2020 season is less painful than having this dleague guy on what was looking like the youngest team in the league.

Unquestionably a Gregg the pop popovich move. This WAS his guy in 2019-2020. He played him at his absolute worse that year. FML FML FML

[DPG21920]

I’m so upset man. I had such high hopes for the draft and Fa with how much Sa had to work with and never in my wildest dreams could they have done so poorly.

Again, before Forbes? They avoided land mines but they showed nothing of note for the position of strength they were in. I can live with that but it did not inspire confidence and there is no excuse to have such amazing assets and come away with a fan base feeling so questionable

Then they do this. It’s a landmine.

[tbdog]

I am trying to find something positive to say. But I just can't. Unless walker is getting traded.

[J_Paco]

Confused as fuck. We're also over one player even after Aminu is cut, I think.

Yeah, unless Wieskamp is taking a two - way deal then the team would still be over by one player. Possibly Walker IV or someone else is on the move.....

[Texas_Ranger]

welcome back champ!

[objective]

This is only a good move it you love bad defense, debarge mustaches or the art of shoe wiping

[siraulo23]

wtf man

[siraulo23]

dude gonna get 30 mins a game over the young guns, fuck

[BWS-1994]

Yeah, unless Wieskamp is taking a two - way deal then the team would still be over by one player. Possibly Walker IV or someone else is on the move.....

2 for 1 trade? Or someone’s getting cut. Someone before said Aminu might be it.

[John B]

I don't understand this signing.... are they re-routing to match salaries. DJ/Lonnie/Poeltl, picks for Simmons??

[ElNono]

ST: Holy shit, used the lottery pick to grab 2nd round talent, signed a paraplegic center for 3 years, Brian couldn't do any worse...

Brian Wright: Hold my beer.

[ElNono]

Paging Robz4000... you gotta take one for the team and go Tonya Harding on Brent Forms... after breaking open his knee put some AIDS on it too...

[Teamduncan21]

I don't understand this signing.... are they re-routing to match salaries. DJ/Lonnie/Poeltl, picks for Simmons??

they still dont have to sign bryn though, and simmons doesnt make sense considering wwe dont have enough support for him to really do some damage

[Robz4000]

Paging Robz4000... you gotta take one for the team and go Tonya Harding on Brent Forms... after breaking open his knee put some AIDS on it too...

Maybe after I'm done contemplating the viability of suicide tbh imo fwiw.

[John B]

they still dont have to sign bryn though
They need a SG to replace Lonnie? They need a spacer for Simmons

We are getting a lot of shooters. Simmons is coming???

[timvp]

Obviously what happened is Forbes fell through the free agent cracks (because teams don't want the worst defender in the league, even if he shoots 50% from three-point range) and the Spurs felt sorry for him. Instead of letting him flounder, the Spurs reached out with something like a $6 million olive branch while telling him he will get minutes so he can retry free agency next season.

Pain.

[BWS-1994]

I don't understand this signing.... are they re-routing to match salaries. DJ/Lonnie/Poeltl, picks for Simmons??

Might be White, instead of Murray. Murray recently posted something on Twitter supporting the team.

How is Simmons relationship with Jock, I wonder…

[Teamduncan21]

They need a SG to replace Lonnie?

danny green? i am not aware is the pool that dry that we have to get forbes? just play primo or vassel

I mean, there's a fine line between being nice guys and being suckers. And if nobody wanted him, why throw $6 mill at him? Wouldn't the minimum do? Who are we trying to outbid?

[tbdog]

Bruh I was ready to go to bed thinking it wasn't a bad day after all, especially after Jock... :lmao:lmao:lmao

The Bucks couldn't afford him, but the Spurs can??? :bang

Just got to speak facts here. Bucks owners are reducing payroll. They have the Greek freak tied up so they don't need to impress him. They didn't pay Tucker who was extremely important for them because they want to reduce the tax.

Serious question: Spurs put everyone before their own self interests. What has that gotten them?

[TheGreatYacht]

Lonnie Walker, man.

From warming Marco's seat for the first two years of his career, to standing on the corner and ball watching Mills and Gay, to now doing the same for Forbes and McDumbass

He's going to shine elsewhere. It's so fucking obvious lmao.

Here lies a fun hypothetical team that might have sucked, might have been surprisingly decent but either way had eliminated limited players to let the more talented youngsters get run. There would have been rough patches but it would have been an entertaining ride.

[Atl Spur]

I don't understand this signing.... are they re-routing to match salaries. DJ/Lonnie/Poeltl, picks for Simmons??

Might be White, instead of Murray. Murray recently posted something on Twitter supporting the team.

How is Simmons relationship with Jock, I wonder…

Nah.. Murray and Simmons are bad spacing together (it's Demar all over again). Simmons replaces Murray.

Forbes can space Simmons if used properly

[Seventyniner]

My god. I was willing to give the FO a mulligan because they can try this whole reshaping of the roster again next summer. But there was absolutely no reason to sign Forbes. He isn't signing to be a 13th man.

I loved that the Spurs let go of the high-usage vets and replaced them with low-usage vets, supposedly to let the young guns take over. This signing, like DPG said, is a landmine. The FO had managed to avoid those.

I mean, in a vacuum this signing is whatever, but the precedent it sets is absolutely horrible.

[TimDunkem]

This is proof that it can always get worse...My God. :vomit:

[SAGirl]

Ughhhhh. Now I like Dougie McBucketts less. We have the SF version of Bryn, plus the original Bryn. Also no doubt in my mind, the team wanted Derozan back and we have to thank the Bulls for their generosity.

[Robz4000]

This is almost as depressing as the day Tim retired.

[objective]

Obviously what happened is Forbes fell through the free agent cracks (because teams don't want the worst defender in the league, even if he shoots 50% from three-point range) and the Spurs felt sorry for him. Instead of letting him flounder, the Spurs reached out with something like a $6 million olive branch while telling him he will get minutes so he can retry free agency next season.

Pain.

If he has a player option, that's not an olive branch, that's sincere desire to get him to sign

How's that 2022 caproom looking now with Forbes?

[99 Problems]

Playing Coach of the G League team?

[spurs1990]

I only recall four players who had a 2nd stint on the Spurs - Vernon Maxwell, Avery Johnson, Sean Elliott and Stephen Jackson.

Now this piece of **** is added to that the list of actual NBA players.

We got 82 starts with this scrub rubbing his soles on defense to look forward to.

[TimDunkem]

Perfect tank commander though. I guess the Spurs are aiming for the worst defense in the league next year?

The bonus Forbesian thing about Forbes is he never gets injured. It's like not physically possible for him to get hurt. So once he's the opening day starter, there's no opportunity for him to lose that spot :lol :cry

[SAGirl]

The one benefit that I saw to McBucketts is that at least he’s 6’7”. Pop bringing Bryn back bc Tre Jones and Josh Primo can’t tank the team hard enough apparently…. (Since they will surely be third string).

[99 Problems]

:lol :cry

Marco?

Oh yah him and Kerr too. Still I'll put both of them 10 levels above Sparty. At least they helped win a ring or two.

This also prolly means Tre Jones leaves the Spurs next season without ever getting any meaningful playing time.

[tbdog]

Ughhhhh. Now I like Dougie McBucketts less. We have the SF version of Bryn, plus the original Bryn. Also no doubt in my mind, the team wanted Derozan back and we have to thank the Bulls for their generosity.

Mcdermott is not a SF Forbes. McDermott is a much more complete player and isn't a total wreck on D. At least McDermott has a little size to put him hands up and grab a rebound. Forbes just gets beat and snaps his hands together in disgust.

However playing them together should be avoided. Its not going to be like the turd lineup of Forbes and Mills bad, or the turd trilogy by adding Beli, but it should be avoided.

If Young is still in the team, you have more room to cover him. You have less bad defenders like DDR and Gay where playing Forbes just becomes a massive issue.

But even the Bucks had difficulty hiding him the longer the playoffs went.

[objective]

Can't wait to see Forbes and McDermott closing games!

Actually, I won't be watching, I'll just catch player highlights on YouTube. But you guys be sure to enjoy it!

[J_Paco]

Confused as fuck. We're also over one player even after Aminu is cut, I think.

Yeah, unless Wieskamp is taking a two - way deal then the team would still be over by one player. Possibly Walker IV or someone else is on the move.....

[PhantomDashCam]

This deal only works if Pops isn't coming back but that is the precise reason for his return.
Absolutely nutty.

Bro, don't be a spoiled fan. It isn't that bad. It isn't the biggest contract in the league either so calm down! Besides, Forbes must've developed some much needed experience warming the bench during the playoffs - also did you see that one game where he hit some shots? Spurs are going to need that knockdown 3pt shooting next year, and after losing Mills, all that culture will be needed to set an example for all these young guards that will be watching him from the bench. Honestly, we might be one of the deeper teams in the league and could compete for the play-in this year. If that doesn't excite you then maybe you should follow the Nets or some other shit team! In PATFO cock we trust.

[timvp]

Brian Wright gets burned by Marcus Morris. Realizes that taking any sort of risk is dumb for his personal career because he has maximum job security as long as he keeps the team's character high. Goes 100% CREAM Team. Why even do a small gamble on a player's character when the front office as a whole has built up like three decades worth of goodwill. He literally won't get fired until like 2060 as long as he doesn't bring in anyone who "embarrasses the community and ethos that has been built" or whatever the hell.

[TimDunkem]

DeRozan not being re-signed is the only thing keeping this from being one of the worst off-seasons in NBA history.

I would tend to agree but this signing feels even worse than maxing out DeRozan.
This is our comeuppance for bashing DeRozan all season.

A 'GTFO Forbes' thread is a good bet to be started after game 1.

[SAGirl]

To make things worse, this means someone is being cut or traded. They have more players than roster spots.
I imagine Aminu.

[SAGirl]

45% from 3pt last year
47% overall FG

haha
:pop: He’s too good. Needs to starts and play 30 minutes. We’ll have him take shots in the clutch to close out games too.

I was feeling good, writing grades for the offseason and writing grades for the summer league game concurrently, watching Jock Landale highlights on my third monitor, listening to the hyper Australian announcers, all was good.

Then I press refresh and see the joke thread. Open it up and it wasn't a joke.

Now I'm reorganizing the garage because I don't dare sleep when all I'll dream about is Forbes playing 48 minutes a game for 82 games. The claps when he gets beat off the dribble, the wiping of the bottom of his shoes, the opposition going right through him like he's not even there. Forbes is back, ladies and gents.

I think Simmons is coming, with all these shooters to surround him. DJ, Lonnie, Poeltl, Aminu and picks for Simmons.

There has got to be an explanation for this... too many players, shooters, Landale fellow Ausie and shooter as well...

Big Simmons is coming

[Robz4000]

I imagine Aminu.

That was assuming Aminu was gonna be cut.

[SAGirl]

I'd rather have TOSB Green coming back over this, tbh.
I thought about it. He’s also a FA, former champion, etc. at least he’s a starting caliber shooter… Pop would play Forbes over him too, which is why Danny likely stayed away.

Oh wow. Hmm Are they ready to give up on Samanic?
He can’t shoot Tbh. But think about it, they just signed a crippled big man (what a steal!!) :cry bc they can’t play him apparently and have more faith in Zollins becoming playable.

I was about ready to say they don’t really have minutes for Samanic, but can’t believe they would give up on a first round pick that’s still 20 or 21.

It's like you can always find a spin or a silverlining on something, even though you already know you're deluding yourself.

This is the kind of move where there's just no excuse. AND we still haven't gotten the contract details yet. If you think this particular deal can't get worse, just hold my fucking beer.

We wanted Aminu for years, now he is washed, we could finally have him.

What also really kills me is that we hand out 3 years to the paraplegic center and McDrubbin, but then we throw only 2 years to the actual intriguing prospect in Jock Landale.

I don't think any of this rings true, it feels like trying to graft on some narrative or excuse for Wright.

Why would Wright worry about his job when the local media never criticizes the team. Even the Twitter blogboys like Tom Petrini have already been co-opted with a part-time media gig ... Completely afraid to criticize anything they do including the Forbes deal

Simple answer is the most obvious: Wright is terrible at his job, doesn't know what he's doing, and should be fired. No psychological backstory necessary, he's not a character in a story arc. He's just terrible.

Collins, like 95% of modern NBA players, doesn't fulfill PATFO's retarded hard on for character. That's how badly Kawhi and Morris scared this FO. They will aim for lesser talent as long as they have a "good" personality. Which explains drafting scrubs like Primo

Fwiw, McBuckets, Zollins & Forbes will do more to help us lose games than JoCo would've.

The Forbes signing make no sense because he will directly take minutes away from the yougins who desperately need them at the NBA level.

Forbes should see 0 minutes unless, at least, 2 or more of our other guards/wings are injured. Otherwise I'm officially joining the "old man is senile" crew.
