2 guys who already don’t belong on the roster
Forbes and White. Forbes because he’s just too short and too bad on defense. When he’s not shooting he’s utterly useless. He got blocked so bad in the Game I just watched it must have been embarrassing.
White because he’s slow af and sloppier than Murray with the ball. Typical Spurs draft pick. He got burned by 40 year old DWade like 3 times, off the ball. He just fell asleep and became a turnstile. Like wtf dude, play like you want some PT
Btw Poeltl looks good, like he might be a steal in that trade. Bert looks good, like he gained confidence. He had a super nice block in this game. Gasol looks a year older, if that’s even possible. LMA looks just like last year but will get fewer touches with Murray running around jacking up shots. DeMar is out of shape and doesn’t have touch yet, or flow with the ball movement offense. Gay looks fantastic. Beli looks like he never left.

Re: 2 guys who already don’t belong on the roster
I guess Forbes can be a end of the bench player but his shooting can get hot at times. Not much else I see coming from him. White had a pretty good second half. Not sold on him yet, have to see his productivity in the regular season but he has made progress. I think Forbes, White, and Walker may be trading off minutes playing with that second team throughout the season. Or maybe Forbes and White will while Walker(as well as Metu) spend most of his time in G-league. No big deal Wade scoring on White, Manu was scoring on good players at his old age as well.

Re: 2 guys who already don’t belong on the roster
Murray is not far from being one, not worth more than a backup pg in his overall ability at best, we need to trade him as fast as we can while he still has some hype for some reason

Re: 2 guys who already don’t belong on the roster
Lol did you watch the same Derrick White? On what world did he not perform well enough to show he belongs? He was the best player off the bench.
-
Re: 2 guys who already don’t belong on the roster
I thought Derrick White played pretty good. Especially in the second half. Forbes, not so much. Not sure what the Spurs love about him, yeah he can shoot but he does not have creative ballhandling to easily get his shot off.
-
Re: 2 guys who already don’t belong on the roster
Forbes needs to go... His shooting ability is overrated... He NEVER gets his shot off in big games... And he has the worst defense on the team
-
Re: 2 guys who already don’t belong on the roster
This is a hot take on White.
Forbes is awful, specially when he’s passing up shots and shooting poorly. He is basically just a 10-15 pound heavier version of himself from last season and that guy wasn’t good or rotation caliber.
White is a more versatile player who has not gotten even a small fraction of the playing time opportunities Forbes has gotten. It’s too soon to say he’s not cutting it. He played well enough in the second half of last nights game to think he’s got a chance to be much better than Forbes.

I couldn't agree more. White was sloppy with the ball when he first got into the game but looked solid after that. Sadly, he might be one of our better offensive players this year. Our shooting is going to suck.

Re: 2 guys who already don’t belong on the roster
I think the Spurs will actually shoot the ball much better this year than they did last year.
Forbes is horrible, though, I agree. Not sure why the FO felt compelled to resign him.

Re: 2 guys who already don’t belong on the roster
Did you even watch the game? But 98% think that Forbes should be in G League

Because he's a charity case. They like him so they keep him around. Just another Fatty Mills except much worse at basketball.
-
Re: 2 guys who already don’t belong on the roster
White settled down, and got better. His handles are not as bad as he showed. He was very much in control of what he was doing.
And Forbes struggled and idk what the expectations are for him. But again, it was 1 game people. 1 pre-season game. No need to over-analyze
-
Re: 2 guys who already don’t belong on the roster
lol White will end up being the team's 3rd or 4th best player if given the chance.
-
Re: 2 guys who already don’t belong on the roster
Derrick White was +11 in 18 minutes shooting 5-9 from the field, 1-2 from three, with 4 rebs, 2 assists, a steal, and a block. Seems like success story to me.
-
Re: 2 guys who already don’t belong on the roster
I'm surprise the OP is upset with White.
White has barely even played yet in the NBA. He deserves the benefit of the doubt.
White just needs to be comfortable playing with the better players in the NBA. Certain moves that worked well in G-league will not translate. He lost the ball when surrounded by the defense, he shouldn't be taking the risk of driving into traffic. This means, he needs to read the defense better.
Forbes is really just one dimensional. A modern day Steve Kerr.

Re: 2 guys who already don’t belong on the roster
White looked good when he didn't guard Wade and when he played less point guard.

We'll eventually find out if this weakness can be exploited by others. I don't think a 6'4" guard like C.J. McCollum or Beal can bully White. White has enough length to give problems. White did well guarding Dragic.

White might have done that but then came back and fixed his game up. That shows some mental resilience. I don't want to see White go the Bryn Forbes path.

Yeah White came in and played shooting guard not against Wade. Marked improvement.
It's one preseason game. The confirmation bias on ST is stupefying.

This could go on forever, so no need to say anything else. Just assume he will remain the same, and the criticism will remain the same.
He could be better than he showed in the one game and when he does, I'll point it out. (if he does...)

Re: 2 guys who already don’t belong on the roster
Funny how it's been mentioned, I also independently thought this while watching Forbes shoot jumpers. He seems to get way up and way down. Like after he made each of 2 jumpers he would point at the rim like it's the first one he ever made in the NBA. Seems kind of fragile, but w/e. Have to have that Mamba mentality. Who cares if it goes in just keep shooting

Yeah, he does a lot of the same things over and over again. Well, if it works for him, then who's to complain?
The Spurs staff must have been pretty high on him to actually sign him back. I don't like his defense, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

In a game, it makes sense to take a shot when opportunity arises. With preseason, players are told to sometimes play the game they aren't comfortable with. So I'm going to give a ton of slack about making judgments about preseason play.

1st) White didn't play SG. He played PG while Mills stayed off ball.
2nd) Wade had little to do with White's struggles on the first half, since most of White's fuckups were unforced errors.
White just started a little shy, when he shook off the jitters he proved what he can do against NBA competition.
This is a promising young prospect, no reason to put him down just to justify the coach playing other guys over him, tbh.

First off no one shot well from 3 last year because of spacing and lack of play makers last year. Once this team develops more space for their 3 pt shooters, Bryn will improve. He still should be considered the 10-15th man in the rotation imo. Specially if White and Walker start to show they belong.

Good point... it's also just one game and he is being given the opportunity to hang himself, which is only fair. As has been pointed out, he needs to do better. If the decision was going to be made on just that one game, then others surely deserve more opportunities than he does.

Pavlov strikes me as an argumentative sort, just for the sake of it.
I didn't know his schtick was to backup Pop's decision and be a yes man and worse... worse bc, unlike Poppovich, he wants to shut down everyone who has a different opinion. I think Pop actually encourages people to voice up their takes. Pavlov may actually not like Forbes privately but damn if he's going to back down from going in circles over nada.
-
Re: 2 guys who already don’t belong on the roster
Not surprised about Gay... Always takes one year to get back and talent was never in doubt. That trade may look better and better with time passing and Jak.
Briniging back Ferrari was a good idea, he will be precious, the kind of guy you can rely on from the bench and fit in with the starters if needed. He'll even win you some games with a smart play or a 3. And with so much coroporate knowledge gone this summer, he's bringing a bit back some.
This team will win some games. In the RS at least.

Considering his size, youth, and contract I'm fine with giving him a pass for a year. Even then he is on a minimum type contract so maybe he can grow more afterwards. If the ball movement is good and everyone else is hitting 3's and he isn't, then we know. If he is losing important games for us then, that is more Pop's fault but people cliff jump too early. I imagine their will be a shorter leash for him this season because of the amount of options Pop now has at the 1 and 2.

Honestly, I think he's a good depth player but doesn't at this point look worthy of a rotation spot ahead of other prospects in the team. He probably will be fine and not hated at all if he was among the 11th to 13th in the rotation. Such guys usually end up playing a lot anyways bc of injuries, foul trouble, etc. He's good enough for that. If he's a rotation player, I think fans are going to be disappointed unless he was much better than what we have seen. It's just the one game, and preseason, so I chill for now.

What you think will happen has nothing to do with people's opinion about Forbes' game, so I don't know why you bring that up.
You are implying that if Forbes suddenly starts playing well, people will keep hating on him because they have their minds already set, and that's bullshit. You act as if people hate on Forbes because they don't like his face or some shit like that, when in reality it's just because he hasn't proved to be very good yet, tbh.
We are all Spurs fans here, if Forbes suddenly starts helping the Spurs get W's you will see a lot of people change their opinion about him.

Pretty much this. Young players need court time and an opportunity to play through mistakes and jitters. White has the potential to be solid, if not very good, third guard or 6th man but let's drop him cause a crafty, veteran, future HOF'er got the better of him a few times....

As your perceived impediment to White of course he is relevant. Don't be disingenuous on top of having an agenda.

What would my agenda be, wanting the best players to play so that the Spurs can do as good as possible?

Your agenda now is playing White over Forbes regardless of anything Forbes may do. Your agenda was going to be bringing up Manu every time White didn't play but White played and ruined it for you.

Well, you are wrong.
If Forbes starts contributing and stops being a net negative all across the board (lol suppossed shooting specialist being a net negative even on offense :lol) I will start prasing him; untill then, I will keep on commenting just how undeserved his rotation minutes are.
The same the other way around: if White finally sees consistent minutes and he dissapoints, I will call him out.
There are no more Argies on the roster son, folks shouldn't keep thinking I have ulterior motives for stating the opinions I state, tbh.

Sorry, I saw the birth and death of your Manu shtick in the span of about ten minutes. My condolences.

I think I commented how good Manu would be playing on that second unit (like many other posters did) twice and you immediately thought I was trying to come up with a shtick? :lol
I don't do shticks and I don't troll son. With all the time that you spend on this forum, you should know that by now, tbh.
Now, stop pre-judging people and be less of faggot from now on. Thank you very much.

Again, my condolences.
RIP your shtick.

Your use of "son" increases when stressed.

yeah, not sure about the comparison. Kerr was IIRC a legit 6'4" and was a passable backup PG who was historically automatic and clutch, both inside and beyond the line and at the FT line. A necessary piece for any championship caliber team. Totally bailed out Parker in '03 against Dallas in game 6 (along with Capt. Jack). Forbes hasn't showed the cojones to do any of that, much less hold a guy like Kerr's jock as a backup PG. Remove Kerr's historic shooting and he becomes Jacque Vaughn, who was still miles ahead of what Forbes is today (as a reliable keep the offense moving backup PG who can finish a layup at the rim).

Re: 2 guys who already don’t belong on the roster
I don't get the obsession with hating on Forbes... He gets paid about 1/3 of the mid level exception-- i.e, nothing in the modern day NBA-- and is maybe the 10th guy in the depth chart. Ridiculous expectations coming from fans... Off the top of your head: Can you name the 10th guy in the depth chart for the '94 Rockets, the '96 Bulls, the '05 Pistons?

I adore your sig.
Look up Robert Anton Wilson.

Re: 2 guys who already don’t belong on the roster
This site is toxic, why do these assholes watch the games. They hate Forbes, Pop, White, Gasol. Go pick another team. 21 years of playoffs and people complain. Kings, Grizzlies, Pacers all small market teams that would kill to have half the success. SA does not attract free agents no young player in their prime wants to play in a boring town. We need be happy Austin doesn’t have a NBA team

For me I don’t “hate” any of those players. I don’t want Pau, Patty and Forbes to play much because it limits the potential of the team. Other players should be getting the minutes because I believe they make the team better. I don’t like the team being held back. If you contribute the most to success then you should play (or whatever this situation applies to in the world). That’s just my opinion. I’ll express how I dislike them playing but I definitely won’t bash them into the ground. That’s just me tho. I know they are people on here who are more aggressive with their takes.

Re: 2 guys who already don’t belong on the roster
It’s all good you have your opinion. It’s frustrating watching people who say they love the Spurs think we have Lebron or another Kawhi in the wings. We should make the playoffs but we might not. A some point a rebuild comes for all teams and a SA rebuild will be ugly we have to hit in the draft multiple times.
