    Jeff McDonald reported otherwise:

    "Pop clarified there is a high probability these players will be unavailable to start the regular season as well."
    Does anyone have bone growing in their thighs? Does anyone need 2nd and 3rd opinions in Philly or NY?

    -PS rhetorical questions. I couldn’t resist.

    Not sure why he’s going off. he may be hiding behind Dejounte’s solid posting and trying to come off as objective as possible but this is the same poster that spammed the forum last year with his YouTube video that no one watched about how Becky actually hates Pop.

    Keep sniffin those grade bruh.... Sad thing you think this post is a win instead of an indictment against all your post not being .
    Yep because yours are so great. Are you really saying you would rather have Thanasis over Giannis? I have noticed you cant admit your wrong and just like to block people. I gave you two examples and down below I see some more. This was done without much research. yes you can find some to support your point but you "I have found none".

    Q is exactly the kind of player that would be under the radar amongst fans because he doesn't exhibit any kind of flashy moves with his play style

    Y'all will see soon enough

    Maybe so, but there’s a reason the spurs re-upped him on a 2 way deal and not a guaranteed spot with the varsity team lol

    So they could use it on Tre?

    As someone noted here, there were second round picks who wouldn't accept a two way contract. It is possible Tre was one of those.

    I'm not an expert on the CBA, but when you complete the first year of a two way contract, it's usually just easier to financially maneuver the cap by fulfilling the second year? This is my guess.

    On the other hand, it could be part of the roster construction-- they could see we have too many combo guards at the moment and want to wait until next year to bring him in. Whereas Tre is more of a natural point guard and we only have two of those.

    I don’t think the spurs draft Tre if he refuses to sign a 2 way deal, that would imply he isnt over himself lol in The Brian Wright interview he talked about how lucky they were that Tre fell to them, I think they like him more then Q but that’s just my opinion

    In Pop's own words.

    He says they're committed to making the playoffs.
    I don't remember the Spurs winning a Championship since 2014.

    Woke Pop has figured out 3 pointers are part of the game.
    Glad it's only 5 years in coming.
    LA will have no problem buying in "because he wants to win." That will be a first.

    You know NONE if this is a problem if Spurms Urkle and Poop didn't panic and Sign a Carrolle for stupid money and then buy him out after not playing him(maybe he was done I'll give you that)
    Spurms are six milly on the line this year alone, that kinda money could have been nice..... so year. Mismanagement. Emphasis on MISS
    Very true

    Q was a restricted free agent. I would have guessed 30 teams never offered him a guaranteed contract.

    He didn’t say he was manu, of course there won’t be another manu lmao all he said is DWhite gives up his body on plays like manu did which is true
    Yes, but the huge difference is - Manu gave up his body and didn't miss games unless he had a broken bone or one of his testicles removed. Dude was other level when it came to toughness.

    and you would probably be right. He didnt show much. There are better players not in the NBA. Like Jimmer, or that thief Ball brother

    Yeah like White but his feet issues won’t seem to go away and it’s almost guaranteed he will miss at least 12 games a year just from this.

    Sounds to me, with Pop's quotes yesterday, that his words indicate he will have a higher standard for his players to play a certain way. I wonder if this opens the door for him to be more hard on DJ, and reduce his minutes.

    If you really think about it, roster moves withstanding, the best way to optimize the rotation is to take DJ out of the rotation. He can't be a 3 and D, unless he has improved his shot and strength a ton. He's the only one left that hurts the team in a big way out there. Well, aside from Patty playing point and Rudy being a blackhole/ a dumbass on the court.

    I didn’t take it that way at all. I saw it as a clear message to the vets. LMA, DDR, and Rudy are all on ending contracts. They are the ones playing ISO ball. DJ doesn’t take a lot of 3s, but he does take them, and make them at about a 37% clip. DDR intentionally passes them up. I think that will no longer be tolerated.

    Opposite. Multiple ball handlers needed for bubble offense , DJ has also the highest potential to push the pace because of his rebounding. This is referring to LA, DDR and Gay Pop would cut down on post-ups and iso possesions.

    Well yeah, I didn't say it wasn't a direct message to the vets. Merely saying that in conjunction with that, there could be an indirect message to the younger guys who don't naturally fit with the team and that it could pave the way for an opportunity for the guys who are newer to fight for their spots.

    I heard him. And I hope we do. Changes are obviously needed. But DDR is still going to shy away from 3s, LMA already did change his game up and honestly I have zero complaints about LaSharkus. For all the hate he gets on here he is the only consistent player we have. And Rudy Gay is still goin to jack up shots and play absolutely no defense. I mean as far as Lonnie goes, he is seriously going to average more than 6 shots a game?

    I doubt the last part, but I agree with the sentiment.

    Basically, he's saying they now have proof of concept that their archaic crap will have them out of the playoffs and that he's no longer going to let them do what they want just to appease them.

    This team is up against it as is as far as making the playoffs go and they're all more than likely entering their final season as Spurs anyway, so the days of placating them are over.

    DDR shying away from 3s doesn't hurt the team if he continues the role he had during the bubble, which was to facilitate more often and not look for his own shot as often. It made a big difference. He let others shine and handle the ball more.

    Rudy is the only one I agree with.

    But that's only one player-- not enough to hurt the team's new goals.
