They better have another deal in the works otherwise letting Fathead go because "they can't afford him" is BS. They had his bird rights, pay taxes just like other small markets that want to win do. We have some cheap ass fucking owners.
Exactly. You can't win with any fan base. "Get rid of that guy, he sucks!" They get rid of 'em and it turns into, "Um, man they weren't that bad. They were serviceable."Quote:

I'm GLAD some of you guys don't run a business -- you'd be done within 6 months!

Keeping Anderson and letting Bertans walk probably would have resulted in the Spurs hitting the luxury tax. And once you’re in the tax, teams make it brutal for you to get out.Quote:

They let Anderson go because of roster fit and him not wanting to be in SA anymore.Quote:

I think the Spurs wanted him back, but on a small or low contract. When he improved and projected to generate more interest than they were willing to pay is when they should have looked to move him if they didn’t want to let him go for nada.. so I do think that they were hoping to retain him, but for cheap.
And my boy Rob does know a thing or two about "Ass Rapings"...:wow..:lmaoQuote:

Where did you get that from?Quote:

Kyle's father complaining about SA not using him right and trying to create controversy with the jersey thing. As far as I know, Anderson never came out and said he wanted to leave, but he certainly seemed keen to go to Memphis.Quote:

His Dad was upset about that enough to mention it in a tweet way back in the early part of the season.Quote:

Not true, Memphis bought it.Quote:

But I just checked the Spurs fanshop and the Spurs NBA store and guys like Costello, Paul, King Joffrey, Forbes, White, Metu have their jerseys up there. That is kinda messed up, tbh.Quote:
