Bye Boban
Fuck.
Later Boban.
shit :pctoss
Not surprising that someone would give him a good offer.
Not sure why Detroit would want Boban and Baynes but whatever.
That 3rd year is too dangerous for the Spurs' cap future. They won't match.
Damn I was actually looking forward to seeing what Boban could do in his second year in our system, and with more playing time. Bummer.
This sucks :depressed
Spurs now need another Center badly. Candidates?
DuncanQuote:

Just hope we don't go with a small five like Robinson or Stokes. We need balance and size.
We really need to know Duncan's decision.
Drummond, Boban and Baynes. Are they nuts?
We get Dedmon for less! :ihit
Detroit watches every game and evaluates every player and they keep seeing value in our bigs.
At least he'll torch us twice a year instead of more :depressed
Isn't he restricted though?
Yes, he is restricted, but we won't match the offer. Besides, it looks like we have already moved on to... Dedmon.Quote:

Yup. At least we just took a rim protector away from Golden State. Double win tbhQuote:

With Boban gone, that crowd is going to be quieter than a PGA golf tournament
Cya Boban
God dammit Detroit, stop taking the Spurs' bigs.
They're building.a bigger fucking wall just like van gundy ordered :lol
If Duncan retires this weekend, Spurs can stretch Duncan's contract and match Detroit's offer, right? Since they have three days to match?
Matt Bonner is your new backup center
:pop: we dont need Boban, we have Bonner
Dedmon will be backing up Bonner?Quote:

I love Boban. Glad he's going to the East. He'll probably dominate in the land where David West can look like a legitimate inside presence.
Yup, no further reason to attend this season.Quote:

Sucks. We only have about $6 million in cap left. Time to start chucking off dead weight...like Boban...he had a couple of "Blair" games against B team 2nd stringers. He isn't a fit in this league as a rotation player. The Pistons can keep taking our marginal bigs and over paying them for averages of 10 points and 8 rebounds between the two stiffs.
This.Quote:

Spurs need to match if the great Tim GOATcan decides to retire. An average of $7 mill/yr is nothing in today's NBA for a rotation player tbh.
It'll be interesting to see what the Pistons do, going forward..they just lost Tolliver, so they technically have a slot at the backup 4, but Morris and maybe even Harris are both better suited to play the 4, nowadays..
They experimented with Baynes at the 4 next to Drummond, last year, but seems pretty iffy in today's league..definitely seems like they will be making more moves, though, I don't believe you can play Harris and/or Morris at the 3 full-time, spacing would be atrocious(especially since their backcourt can't shoot, either)..
EDIT: didn't they just sign White American Jon Leuer, too?:lol what a strange roster..
I'm almost certain that the Spurs have enough cap room. Also, I'm pretty sure teams can go over the cap to resign players already on their roster.
As much as I like Boban, he is just too slow to ever be a real rotational big against quality competition. Wish him well and he should thank the Spurs for getting him that contract :lol

DET has crazy depth. Even if weird fits, all the guys (Leuer, Drummond, Morris, Boban, Baynes, etc..) are all good players.
I wish SA could have kept Boban, but I am so happy for that guy. Great guy, really good player and he's good enough to be a rotational player and gives them a ton of versatility to go huge or small.
I hate to see Boban go, but Dedmond's athletic skills fill our defensive need better. But I will miss rooting for Boban :depressed:depressed:depressed:depressed
Boban will be a Beast in the East. :ihit
Nice payday for Boban. Good for him.
Not sure what Detroit are doing though. Perhaps Baynes is on his way.
It doesn't matter how good Boban is or isn't, if Pop was never going to play him significant minutes.
Good for Boban. He'll be missed.
Now Pop can't take out his frustrations on Boban anymore or bash fans who wanted to see a legit, skilled, unique center actually play.
He'll have to find a new whipping boy to keep on the bench while the team gets eliminated sooner than they should. I'm thinking that's Bertans now.
That third year tho...
I like Boban but he isn't going to hold up to that 3rd year
The Pistons are really going big, signing 6'10" Jon Leuer & 7'3" Boban to add to 6'11" Drummond. They experimented last season with putting 6'9" Marcus Morris at SF and it worked out pretty well. I guess Van Gundy figures he can't out-small-ball more talented teams, so he'll (temporarily at least) go big... it will at least be fun to watch. I liked Boban, but the the Spurs most likely made the smart move switching Boban's good offense/defensive vulnerability for Dedmon's mobility, saving some money in the process.
:lol I got the reference.Quote:

And then you look at his rebounding and defensive metrics.Quote:

I hope they can keep him. 3 years from now that amount isnt going to be shit.
Nice guy but for that money adios.
Big loss tbh. The only thing stopping him is overplaying him and getting an injury.
Best rebounder on the team last year, gone. Just like that.
He's for sure gone my man. Spurs don't have any way of matching that and keeping Gasol (well, if the don't trade away 4+M in salary.Quote:

Boban is 22/12 if you start him. You keep him or sign him and Pau. Anything less is sh**.
And didn't they draft a big too?Quote:

Would have loved to keep him, but not for that third year money (even though He might be a bargain by then).
its all about the bad boys. They just want to relive the experience.Quote:

Sure Boban has a quiet demeanor, but he looks as though he will eat your children.
Yeah... you're a Jimmer groupie. And your Avi is... What? Are you one of those kids who watches Twilight in marathon sessions? Seriously...Quote:

Believe it or not, but this is not all bad for the Spurs. Boban getting a $21 million contract in his second year in the league (without taking the NBA by storm) tells foreign players how fast they can potentially gain wealth in the league. And no team is hooked into the foreign markets as well as the Spurs. Boban's example could be used to get other mid-tier to upper tier foreign players over here on cheap (albeit short) contracts.
The gravy train goes through SA for foreign players and they know. :lolQuote:

Maybe they'll make bsynes available, that's a possible upside
Sucks we lost boban. But good for him for getting paid. I'll watch some of his games with Detroit.
Because I liked him?Quote:

Well, Dedmon is a more conventional player. As much as I liked Boban, he had/has a lot of work to do on his game. He's one of those guys who is either a home run or a strikeout. I just hate the thought of facing him, if he does improve.
hes clearly a better player then dedmon but spurs did the best with what they got.gl in detroit bobanQuote:

I think the Spurs are actually limited to 120% of his 2015-16 salary.Quote:
