He's been attempting to lead you to an epiphany like a leprotic child. Thus far, for his efforts, he's collected some fingers, a thumb, a hand, and a forearm, and you're still standing in the same puddle of ignorance you pissed several days ago.Quote:

It won't be long before we hear the results from training camp.
I tend to trust the opinions of those who are being paid big money to make the tough basketball decisions with the Spurs, and the people that know the sport the best like Sean Elliott, over some armchair basketball enthusiasts, and wannabe coaches and fans, when it comes to Kyle, don't you?
Let's hope he proves to be an lucky gem in the draft--but if he needs some seasoning on the bench or in Austin, or even bombs out of the league, it's not the end of the world as he was only the last pick in the round and most of those guys are gone by October.
Clearly the PO likes him so they must feel he can stick and make a contribution.
Quite a bit of summer league is about individual talent and is one of the poorest places for a team first player to showcase their talents. Having said that, Anderson played fairly well all things considered. He is the prefect addition for the Spurs. Now if you're thinking like a Kings or Timberwolves fan and the only way you have a chance is if he drops 40 every night then I suggest you readjust your fandom.
I'll have you know I'm one of the best known and respected armchair basketball enthusiasts in my house. Made the hall of fame and everything. So...Quote:

Most of those guys are not gone by the end of October, most of those guys are guaranteed a 2 year contract if they sign to play in the NBA. Sure the team can still cut them as their salary is lower for being a 30th or late first round pick, but still, they've got guaranteed money.Quote:

And, he made the case that there was a chance they could still be cut because The Spurs have done it in his cited examples. As you mention the James Anderson case, I agree that it is very unlikely, but just for information purposes...there are rare instances.Quote:

I would like you to reread that and let me know what part of it put you on the scent of the trail that I thought Kyle was going to be cut. Just about everything in the statement indicates the opposite is more likely.Quote:

Why would I be a hater, then, exactly? Confused.Quote:

Now, I wouldn't be calling him "indispinsible" [sic], as he'll be pretty dispensable, this year, especially. Howevever, I have said nothing but upbeat things about him.Quote:

Let's hope he determines that with his play.Quote:

It would be no skin off my back either way, after all, this is just a message board, it's not like I would be winning or losing some sort of mythical contest or anything significant like that.Quote:

And not only that, other than if Embiid plays, I think he may challenge for Rookie of the Year, depending of course on how much Pop plays him.
Just stop hating on KA and he's not getting cut so stop that talk too.Quote:

So that may be why they are not too concerned with getting anyone, they are pretty high on Kyle, already being better than most FAs out there, and plan to work him into the rotation as quickly as possible IMHO
