I mean, why wouldn't Pop bring Forbes back at all costs? He's a big impact player, with a "prove you wrong" mentality and a relentless work ethic.
It shouldn't even be about the money. If he gets around what he is now, he still has no business starting or playing next to Mills, which would make him an expensive deep bench player and a possible malcontent at that considering his previous role and the state of the team.
If they stay at 11 and the draft plays out similar to current projections, they should end up with Vassell or Bey to effectively take his spot.
Yeah, but it happened when the Spurs were fashionable and in cases where teams foolishly thought those players had a higher upside if given an increased role. Forbes is the an hesis of that.

What you say makes sense if Pop wasn’t in charge. Pop started Forbes. He played Poetl 12 minutes a game. In his mind Forbes is his guy. He sees Forbes as a culture guy who buys in, works hard, doesn’t complain about his role, and a floor spacer. We are re-signing Forbes and the sooner y’all guys understand this the less angry you will be when it happens.
Pop isn’t in charge of the money. He answers to the younger Holts, who likely won’t be too jazzed to pay the tax for this team.
Renouncing Jakob and Marco while signing Forbes doesn’t put us into the tax.
sad but true
ppl must realize how many issues and wrong decisions came and will come from one man: no tanking for top prospects bc playoff streak more important, not developing young guys, not playing murray and white together, all drama with kawhi and taking a horrible bad deal for him etc... next will be: resigning forbes, another guard in the draft who will be sent to gleague, signing ddr and letting poeltl go + no trades bc "we like what we have" and "we are a contenders"
Purely to pad Demar's stats and up his trade value. So sad what Pop did to Lonnie and White this year. Next year if Bryn is still starting or playing significant minutes then.. I will be straight speechless.
I'm not advocating for him to stay but I could absolutely see the Spurs talking themselves into bringing him back if there isn't a market for him. Its the culture trap that they fall into. They overvalue players that they know how will fit. They know how Forbes fits into the team, so all bets are off.
If the Spurs move on from DeRozan, I think the chances of him returning increase- no matter whom they draft.
Forbes agent: "We want 70 million for 3 years"
"4 years"
Forbes agent: "Deal"
Spurs Nation:
Honestly our young guys all seem very sound, hopefully we manage to keep em and they grow together
Lonnie is a top guy
“Lonnie needs to wipe some walls in Austin for the next half dozen protests- and then he can think about the Alamo - Brynn and Beli got this area well covered for the next 3-5 seasons!”
Lonnie is awesome, not like that POS nephew.
Lonnie and Kawhi > Tim
Lonnie walker, like Murray, cant dribble, pass, or play the half court game. He's meant for NBA jam. That is all
IQ is still low but dude has a pretty sweet jump shot.
Oh no the hair is gone!!??
i wonder what compelled him to cut it now?
Trying to confuse Pop so he can get more minutes to end the season.

UPDATE: Looks like he hasn't cut his hair yet.
