In before Pop gives him a blank check and a handy as he re-signs.
If u don't think Pop will sit Devin's ass down in the G League and start forbes for a whole new season right along with DeMar and Lamarcus, u haven't been watching... The fact that we have made no trades isn't surprising, but it's very disheartening... Once again they're outsmarting themselves... Tim Duncan really carried this franchise and made them seem way smarter than they really were
Two-way QOs aren't the same as those for regular players.
don't celebrate too early. It's still possible they offer him that 50 million dollar deal
You say that like it's a bad thing. In the immortal words of Dennis Hopper, "It's just too much pressure, man. Let's have a drink." (I don't know if Hopper ever said that, but he should have.)
I hope Vassell really is a guy who will go to the floor after loose balls. Better still, I hope he's a guy who will spit in Pop's eye and defend his teammates. Otherwise, he's just a Forbes upgrade - if he can knock down the 3 ball at the next level.
If the Spurs can win 50 games by being boring, I'm all for it. But just being boring is wearing a bit thin.
I think the Spurs tell him to look elsewhere in the beginning but I would get VERY worried if we go 3 days into free agency and he is not signed...Pop will absolutely bring him back and make some other player "prove" they are better than him to take his playing time...
Nothing wrong with drinking to excess. This night has led me to do the same. I'm not against the pick. I'm disappointed there were not trades to try and clarify the roster and the direction of the team. We all knew the trade talk and buzz was going to be a letdown, but it's still a letdown.
wont be missed. the coyote can replace him.
Forbes, Marco, and possibly Mills will be gone.
We can now choke people out in defense; if you don’t hustle now you’ll be on the pine! Lots of cap space moving forward & flexibility.....San Antonio is now a proving ground!
I actually believe they wait what happens with Poeltl. Its probably now their top priority besides potential Trades. But i have no doubt that forbes gets a multiyear overpaid contract for successfully ending the playoff streak as reward.
I’d be very surprised if Bryn Forbes is back
Pop will pay Bryn 15 mill a year
The Spurs did offer Eubanks another QO yesterday.
https://projectspurs.com/2020/11/18/...-weatherspoon/
Weatherspoon's unambiguously is. That doesn't mean they won't sign him to a contract instead, but his QO guarantee is only $50k, and that IF he signs it. And if he does sign it, it would be a two-way deal.
Eubanks' deal is indeed a one-year real contract, but it's about $80k guaranteed. If he signs, it, he'd be on the roster.
My point wasn't so much that they could not be on the big club or whatever. It was that the Spurs could easily cut them due to their low guarantees. If PATFO for some effing reason thought Bryn was worth another contract, eating less than $100k wouldn't stop them.
pop is a hof coach no doubt. however, i am starting to believe without tim's bball iq pop is just a cog that'll never get us back in or past the 1st rd of the playoffs. he's content with just running the same boring offense/defense yearly.
i'm over the pop should be coach for life stance.
Yea, we’re supposed to have all this money next summer right?? I’m not very confident that FA are gonna wanna come here. San Antonio isn’t a lot of other nba cities and then there’s playing for pop and his difficult system (I’m sure he’ll still be here). I just don’t see players lined up to come here and sign.
Yep, no elite player is going to want to come to an organization that is in the midst of a rebuild with players and coaches
Agree. It was mostly all Tim. and some credit should go to Drob for helping a young Tim out and showing him what a good teammate and superstar attitude. I didn’t truly understand how much was Tim until he left but there were plenty of signs when looking back at...quite a bit of issues with pop started showing there head about a decade ago and just got worse as he got older...and then were exacerbated by Tim leaving and not being there to offset pop.
Agree with the stars not wanting to come to SA. However, we aren’t in a rebuild imo and I don’t think pop wants to be in a rebuild. We’ll sign older players with that free cash. May even trade out younger players to get older players. I don’t at all believe pop truly thinks he’s rebuilding now and don’t think he’ll change his mind when DDR and LMAs contracts are up. If he did he would’ve already traded DDR, LMA, gay and mills
I never thought Pop was amazing starting from day 1. Just look at how the Spurs offense for like 8 year was just dump the ball into Duncan in the post and get the hell out of the way. Not difficult to come up with that scheme. Even the defense schemes I thought was overrated. Not hard to have a great defense when you have Duncan/Robinson manning the paint and then later on Duncan/Bowen. Pop lucked out in having the ultimate cheat code in Duncan. He was free to make a lot of stupid mistakes but was still able to win due to Duncan's greatness.
He also lucked out that Duncan wasn't the typical superstar. The average superstar like Lebron could not be coached by Pop long term without getting him fired. Pop's yelling and stubbornness would get to them.
The psycho in me wants poop to sign Forbes up just to watch the ST world burn
Spurs are already crowded at the wings. Bringing back bryn would be career suicide for pop
This guy has close ties with Suns reporting.

Bryn Forbes could be an interesting name for the Suns - He is a career 40% shooter from three. Spurs added Devin Vassell and Tre Jones in the draft so unlikely they bring him back. Forbes is only 27.
That is very kind of you hoping so concernedly for Bryn to find employment with another
I would love to see a sign and trade for at least a extra 2nd round pick. Celtics always have extra picks and could use shooting.
Please no sign and trade. The other team would probly back out after he signed.
Shit's looking good so far, boys.
Best move this off-season. Addition by subtraction.
Let me be the first to say:
https://i.pinimg.com/originals/38/de...fe61cc87c0.gif
if we sign Forbes ST will riot
Hes got kids!
That be some shit sign Forbes to 3 year deal then they back out and we are stuck with for 3 more years
Can’t wait for Pop to drop 50Mills on Forbes. The meltdown is gonna be some epic shit :lmao
Trade lma/derozan for cap space problem solved
If I am Forbes, I sign with GS or LAL for whatever they are willing to pay.
I’m nervous hopefully some other team signs him ASAP
I'm hopeful that we can sign and trade Forbes into a trade exception for a something, probably a two way player. Or a future second. We won't. But one can hope. Paul Reed, Robert Woodard, Yam Madar, and Jay Scrubbs all seem like plausible two way gets if 2-3M exceptions exist with their teams.
Chinook did the maths and we can't sign anyone else. We are at the tax threshold.
They have Early Bird Rights on this fuggut and they can CHOOSE to pay the Luxury Tax to keep his ass....
Quote:
Ultimately, the Bird exception was designed to allow teams to keep their best players. The CBA ensures that teams are always able to re-sign them to contracts up to the maximum salary, assuming the player is interested in returning and his team is willing to go over the cap.
To be clear, he's been with the team 4 consecutive years. We don't have "Early Bird Rights", we have full "Bird Rights"... We can put a max in front of him. I don't think we are going to sign him at all though. He can play at either the 1 or the 2 slot, and we have so many players who can play there already : Murray (1&2), White(1&2), Weatherspoon(1&2), Mills(1&2), Jones (1), Vassell (2), Walker (2), Johnson (2), Derozan (2)... I think the nightmare might be over guys; it's pretty probable Forbes is a Spur no longer.
Hayward just set the market. Forbes can easily ask max. Hustler on and off the court
He gone...now onto Patty
Still nervous. I can absolutely see Pop pitying him if he does not get signed and giving him some one year prove it deal even if it sends the team over the tax
I can't be the only guy on the board who thinks this would be the perfect button on Poopafrauds Drob Duncan Manu Paker Coattailing career, him getting the Holt Pups to simp for his deranged protege and go Luxury out of "pity". SJW commies doing SJW commie things for Poop.
Bye Bye Forbes...Not sure if I hated him more or RJ
How is it the biggest move of our offseason is going to be NOT signing this guy?
Poor Forbes, no other team is even making an offer. Yet on the Spurs he is the third most played starter.
Yeah!
Finally some good things in 2020 !
How much you think bucks gave him ? 2 year 14?
:tu Good for Forbes. Seems like a good dude just not a fit on the Spurs. Hopefully he has success in Milwaukee.
Thank you baby Jesus
Best news of the offseason for SA. MIL is a great defensive team so they should be able to play Forbes and not suffer too badly
Nice. The writing was on the wall. Good for him though.
Good riddance. Instant +15 wins to our record
Great third guy to Holiday and Freak
Good for him
God speed Bryn Forbes, Prove ST wrong
The problems with Forbes was not Forbes it was poop
