    i dont know if they would have gained any spending power by letting him go, but still a weird amount of money to spend on a guy who played 17mpg last year and will turn 38 before the season starts
    For a monent, I thought you were talking about CP3.

    "Mentorship", mate. Spurs are gonna give Paul 10M for that (before he pulls an hamstring and teach the youngsters from the bench).

    Paul played 26mpg last year and said part of why he came to the spurs was wanting to play more

    The most important part was "washep up" (rental) vets. Brooks and FFV are in their prime and improve the team on the court, before talking about mentorship. They can teach by example and earn other players respect with what they bring every night

    Everyone (including players) knows Paul and Barnes are probably here for one year and will be nothing more than assistant coaches...
    FVV and Brooks only signed for two years, and I hesitated to mention this, but they’re both kind of idiots. I would think Paul and Barnes would be much better at mentorship. Paul will start, and I think a Barnes probably will, pushing Julian into a more suitable bench role. They won’t be assistant coaches, CP going as far as saying “I’m not a coach” in his intro presser.

    Kind of sucks for these players that teams can keep them under their own control only to release them. There should be a pay-out or penalty paid to the player in return for keeping them from finding work elsewhere.

    Is this what people within the Spurs League Pass media blackout areas in Texas will have to contend with? Meaning even paying for cable and network TV won’t guarantee all the games anymore?
    I believe Amazon will take over for Bally Sports content.
    I’m most curious how the new TV deal will trickle down to local markets and blackouts. For example, I live in HI and have League Pass. California teams have their local coverage through CA sports channel (maybe NBC Sports?) that is available on a sports package on Hawaii Telecom, which most people in HI don’t have (most have Spectrum, I have YouTubeTV). Because of the HI Telecom thing, all of those west coast Spurs games get blacked out on League Pass. It’s ing stupid and I hate it.

    Why not just get League Pass?
    If League Pass is doing its job, the national games will get blacked out. If LP actually guarantees all games, I'd be very interested.

    It’s time to cut the cord!

    At this point, I’ve been roped into pretty much every streaming service there is… and yeah, it’s not cheaper than cable, but the user experience is much better, aside from having to remember which app has which content. Pea and Paramount+ are the easiest to get mixed up.
    My mother lives with me, and she will not do streaming. So I'm stuck paying for cable for the foreseeable future.

    I hear you. This season I was visiting my dad, he is 89 and been with direct tv forever. The Spurs were playing so I activated the Roku on his tv so I could watch league pass. I told and showed him how to get to direct tv and to his local stations. He ed and moaned the next morning because he had to push an extra button or 2. After a couple hours I set the damn thing back to previous Modes.

    FWIW, YouTV is cable just delivered via internet. You can set it up (on most major brand TVs) as default in <5min so it opens when the TV powers on & pretty sure can have it default to “Live” = the cable part, very similar UI compared to Uverse, Spectrum, DirecTV.
    That said I tried to sell my Dad on it to save him several $100 a yr, set it up for him last time I was in SA but turns out he rather just complain about to cost of Uverse than make any switch hahaha.

    It's pretty easy to add things like Max, LeaguePass, etc to YouTubeTV - but you can't add Netflix, Prime, Pea , Paramount+, etc.

    I really like YouTubeTV as my "TV" option - but they've gotten out of control with their price increases. I started with them back when it was like $49/mo, and now it's $85/mo with no end in sight.

    I live in the southeast corner of Kansas (somewhat close to you guys) - and I have OKC games blacked out and weirdly, the Denver and Minnesota games blacked out as well.

    yeah rn all i have is hulu (every time i quit they give me a $3/mo offer for 6 months or something ), prime (use it for deliveries and whatnot anyway), and disney+ (almost a necessity with the kiddos and occasional good adult stuff too)

    i might temporarily add netflix if something good drops like next season of stranger things, but not till then

    otherwise i go splitsies on youtubetv + nfl sunday ticket during football season

    and league pass. since i dont like near SA i get all the non-national spurs games there

    Definitely bc it is cable if cable is about access to live “cable” channels, but not if “cable” means a dedicated set-top box & remote. In DFW I have 129 live channels, interface feels like the rest except ordering is Local-Sports-Alphabetical vs arbitrary numbering, but the suggestions are great (I watch sports so above the channel list shows the live games in-play or about to start).
    Only big difference is it defaults to “library” of recorded shows-home (on-demand)-Live (cable) but I’d imagine that has to be changeable
    Its also really easy to hide channels your never watch & cancel/renew…I’ll have it for 2 more days until football season kicks-off plus same experience on mobile/computer=never miss a game if u have to run an errand or traveling

    Can add Paramount+ w/showtime now…& 2nd in the price increase but for me it’s very close in cost to the other cable/etc options but easier & the cross platform is nice/seamless, cancelling after the finals & waiting til kick-off saves a big chunk
