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

Why the fuck did they sign Bellineli for then?

Well, the Spurs are way smarter than any of us (most of the time) so if they are doing moves they surely have a plan (even if it's a long tail to their plan coming to fruition).

Probably as a cost effective back-up plan, but it just happened that plan A (Neal) never went away. I want Neal to stay but I'll be disappointed that we burned the MLE on Bellineli without needing to.

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

I think the Spurs are inventing a new offense where Neal, Belinelli, Green and Bonner play 4-corners and Tony Parker is the only player allowed to set foot inside the 3 point line.

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

I can't believe many of you are that gullible to actually believe we're going into the season with 1 SF. We will have 2 small forwards on the roster going into the season, and no he won't be a scrub, i.e summer league signing or D-League foddler. I can guarantee you of that.

Well, that Simmons podcast was talking about how OKC still needs a shooter after losing Kevin Martin, and that Neal was the only shooter on the Top 20 remaining free agents... maybe we'll only sign him if we need to keep Presti's hands off of him? :lol

This was echoed to the fifth degree last offseason. All the moves they made were in preparation for this offseason. And wouldn't ya know it, the Spurs are no better off, doing nothing to sure up the backup pg, which was clearly an issue at times during the regular season and playoffs and they don't really have a solid backup to Duncan and Tiago. Heaven forbid anything happens to Parker or Duncan for any legnth of time.

I wouldn't be surprised if there was something to that. Even if the Spurs don't keep him and just try to give OKC a helpful nudge that much closer to the luxury tax.

Actually this thought crossed my mind. Spurs scared he goes to a key rival.

:lol Reminds me of my favorite interview response of all time. Someone asks Antoine Walker why he shoots so many 3's and he responds "because there aren't any 4's".

Justifiably so. Neal is cold-blooded. He would pick up where Derek Fisher left off for OKC. He would get tons of open looks in that offense.

He was still pretty bad defensively as usual. I am not convinced Neal's offense makes up for his bad defense.

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

I also hope he signs elsewhere. He's lost popularity among spurs fans (even if he ever had any) and there's really no point in staying on the team where he'll be made an outlet of anger when the team plays bad. Dude would be a decent starting SG or 6th man for us imho, especially if he could be had for less than a MLE

Think of it in baseball terms -- they all can't be starters or closers. You need a handful of middle relievers to eat up innings and step up when the stars are injured during the season, even though they won't see much time during the playoff stretch run. Gary Neal knows his role, and will eat up minutes to help rest our Big 3(4) during B2Bs, etc., and will stay on the floor in the playoffs if we need shooting.

Baseball? Interesting analogy. So if a star pitcher is out of control, throwing wild pitches, hitting batters, throwing a high hanging fastball that's hit out of the park, the manager pulls him, right? No hard feelings...doesn't destroy the star's confidence, there will be another game(to coin a phrase). So shouldn't the same hold true if we have a star player who is out of control, making wild passes, turning the ball over, making stupid fouls and taking bad shots?

Spurs are kind of stuck between two ideas.. to either get younger/improve for the last 2 years of Tim Duncan being productive. They sign guys for 2 years but the guys they sign doesn't vastly improve there roster or the positions from last year. They keep Matt Bonner for who knows what reason, Boris Diaw does the same thing by spreading the floor and obviously if you're going to pay Splitter more money you're going to expect more production/time for him right? So it's just bogus minutes for guys to ride the bench but we waste cap money on them.

Unless this is some elaborate scheme to land a FA or a sign and trade that will improve a position then I'm all for it but the more I look at the moves it just looks like they're inclined to have a bunch of guards in case someone gets hurt.

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

If the spurs resign Neal it will suck for Joseph, Mills and De Colo, There's no point to having that many guards, A trade has to be brewing or something.

Makes no sense to get Marco if youre going to keep Neal. I've tried to give them the benefit of the doubt but this is getting really fucking weird.

There it is, we can all rest now!

You would think, but knowing the FO nowadays and Pop the way he liked weird lineups it could just be what it is.
