He's much better than Mills or De Colo, obviously..

My concern is that Neal and Beli are the same player, tbh..chuckers that can get hot, but can hurt your team with their decisions and play atrocious defense..

OTOH, on a team like the Spurs that will continue to limit minutes, depth is a premium, and it never hurts to have too many shooters..

I'm hoping there will be a trade or move that will acquire a big SF or small PF, though..Kirilenko would be ideal, but World Peace would be fine..

This. If the Spurs bring back Neal at a good price, I'm fine with it. Better to have one too many shooters instead of none at all.....

Spurs will be playing 7-Guard rotations all season. Can't wait! :rolleyes

Re: Report: Gary Neal is likely to re-sign with the Spurs

A possibility is that Spurs have let people know that their intent was to keep Neal just to force a sign and trade with team(s) interested in him.

Tbh, this only makes sense to me if the market for Neal unexpectedly dried up. Maybe he had something lined up, the Spurs moved on but then the suitor went elsewhere...

Re: Report: Gary Neal is likely to re-sign with the Spurs

Supposedly the Rockets and Bucks are both interested him as well, but only for cheap. If I'm him, I go to Houston where I know I'll get more PT than I would in SA. If there's an offer there, of course.

Re: Report: Gary Neal is likely to re-sign with the Spurs

umm ok, Why the hell did the Spurs spend money on Marco if they still want Neal? I dont get it, unless there is a trade allready in the works.

At this rate Kawai better stay healthy and be able to play high 30+ minutes a game. He is young thankfully but he has had some trouble with his knees.

I just meant that even if we basically like his game, there's no point in hanging on to Mills if we bring back Neal, because he'll never get anywhere near the court. De Colo at least has a shot at the backup point guard spot.

I hope he does come back. That way, De Colo can get as far away from the team as possible.

Re: Report: Gary Neal is likely to re-sign with the Spurs

I rather have Neal than Mills, Bonner and NDC (specially since he doesnt get a lot of minutes..i wish he could play more, just to see what he has a little better, probably the Spurs know that better than I do).

That's entirely possible.

Or there never was a market for Neal at the price he initially was asking. If he was convinced that he could get an MLE-level deal, and gave that as his asking price to the Spurs, then it's perfectly obvious why the Spurs quickly moved on.

If the reality is that Neal can't command much more than what Marco got, then he becomes a valuable asset even if it creates a logjam at the guard spots on the Spurs.

The cheaper the deal, the more likely that the Spurs match.

Re: Report: Gary Neal is likely to re-sign with the Spurs

I'd rather the Spurs keep Neal for cheap than some other conference rival pick him up (Rockets). Despite his limitations, Neal is capable of getting hot for a game or two in a playoff series. Imagine if Neal destroyed the Spurs as a Rocket or Thunder player?

Re: Report: Gary Neal is likely to re-sign with the Spurs

If the Spurs resign Neal it confirms that the Front Office has lost there damn mind. I suspect then we'll just run PG by committee again next season and have Manu as the facilitator and that won't develop anyone yet we're still paying them as if it were necessary to keep 7 guards on a team. Then we have no true backup SF and a bunch of bigs that will never sniff the rotation outside of Tim, Tiago, Bonner, Diaw

Re: Report: Gary Neal is likely to re-sign with the Spurs

Since Manu will be injured most of the season - it is wise to keep Neal.

Re: Report: Gary Neal is likely to re-sign with the Spurs

Do not like this move at all unless it's for a trade, 6'5 194b Belli at SF doesn't work, Green cant play SF either. Neal can't run point to save his fucking life, Cojo looks like a better backup pg.

I'm so confused. If Neal couldn't even draw interest as a FA how's he gonna be an attractive trade piece?

A lot of the Spurs moves this offseason hasn't made a lot of sense.. I like the Belli deal just because he would have replaced Neal but if you're bringing that player back then why? I don't want to get into a war win Manu/Splitter supports but the same deal with there contracts too.. Outside of Jefferson/Pekovic there wasn't a lot of bigs that were overpaid or extended to long term deals. Didn't see any other 35 year old 6th man get 7Mil a season either or not signing a true backup SF who can play defense.
