Why not? Just don’t sign Patty. Or either no Gasol and just signed some cheaper big men like Joffrey and Willie Reed at the time.

We'll you obviously don'r watch basketball because Patty and Pau were top 5 players in that houston series.
Big time players. And they got paid like it.

Wasn't LeGM a huge supporter of Boobie Gibson? I believe he works at Dairy Queen now

Re: LeBron Wanted Simmons
lol at anyone that buys this crap
If Cleveland would have offered the same money that the Magic offered, Simmons would be a Cavalier right now. :lol

indeed.
i wanted simmons back not only because he was a fan favorite but because after leonard went down in the PO, he and anderson were the only spurs to show up. got love for patty but not $50m worth and not when murray is projected as heir apparent soon enough.

Well you obviously don’t understand what “not possible” means. Because I clearly just stated a possibility. I didn’t say we should have done that instead. I stated a possibility of where it would have been possible. Simple as that.

Re: LeBron Wanted Simmons
dabom or here’s a better idea.. how about just signing them for LESS each. Still possible.

Its a damn shame Pau has that type of contract tho. I wouldn’t pay any 37 yr old that money unless it was Lebron. Just the age itself is a risk. But I would still rather have found a way to have both but I like our chances with a fully healthy squad

I like Paul. Glad to know he’s a good 3 & D player but I did like the driving ability and athleticism Simmons brought. And I always believed having a guy like that(athletic plays) helps energize a team. Especially when you’re not a very athletic team.

Paul is pretty athletic himself, and he's a more polished playmaker than Simmons ever was during his stint in SA. Paul in little time has shown a couple of perfectly executed pick and rolls that Simmons didn't show in 3 years. Simmons was all slashing with crappy results more times than not.

Re: LeBron Wanted Simmons
Tbh the Latrell Spreewellian similarities of his comments is all the insight we needed to know to understand where his mind was during free-agent negotiations. The Spurs are better off without that type of drama in the locker-room. All the best of luck to Simmons in Orlando - but good riddance.

Re: LeBron Wanted Simmons
Like Gay and Paul more than Juice, wish him the best though, cool dude

Re: LeBron Wanted Simmons
if Paul were playing for us right now like how simmons is playing for the magic, we would be begging for him to start...but since simmons isnt here, paul is somehow better? lolol

Agreed.
Still absurd and disrespectful to the working people who actually struggle to support their families.
Good for him, but at this point, he's set wherever he goes.
