They were never really in.
They were never really in.
Guess the only improvements will come from :
- Pop realizing Kawhi is the third banana and actually running plays for him
- Baynes cracking the rotation and boosting our ty rebounding a little
If Spurs flipped the Jackson expiring contract last season for Benelli and Pendergraff, we would all have been happy, Right? Right? Those are the missing pieces, right? Right?
Misleading le.
Nothing new here. Everything in the article could have been gleaned from Spurstalk threads (and probably was).
God dammit. If he ends up on the Thunder...
Article says nothing.Full details of the deal, which cannot be formally signed until Wednesday, were not available.
I see a lot of "could", "likely", "appears" and "not expected to" in that article.
In other words, McDonald is guessing just like the rest of us are.
Bull article.
This article just seemed a speculation but McDonald tweeting today that Pendergraph got $4M put Spurs basically out of the equation for Kirilenko.
It could still theoretically be possible with some crazy and complicated S&T scenarios but it's just in theory. In practical, Spurs won't get Kirilenko.
Yeah.
I really don't trust Mcdonald with any inside information anyway..
Because he never has one...
Him, Ellis, or Nate Robinson
Next to impossible.
Thats an overpay for Pendergraph. He could have been had for much closer to the minimum ($988,863). We'd still be under the cap by a little and could still use the room exception, if i'm not mistaken.
It's gonna happen. Heat are gonna get Oden and Bynum who'll fortify Lebron, who in turn will fortify Wade, who will fortify Bosh, etc.
True they'd have to cut 3 non guaranteed deals and then use the $7.5 remaining space between their team salary and the luxary tax to sign 3 players. In other words they'd probably have to split the MLE up to sign 2 players and use the vet minimum.
Crazier things have happened who would have though someone would have taken RJ & Beidrens $20 million for a couple of 1st rounders, clearing the way for GSW to sign Iggy
Bynum will hopefully go to Dallas if he goes to Miami he can go to .
Oden needs to be a Spur or a Pacer not a "Heatle"
In all honesty tho, the Spurs standing pat again was a terrible (but expected) move. The West is still wide-open, but they could've cemented themselves at the top.
If the le of the article is on the money, it's quite disappointing to say the least.
So who are the other possible suitors?
The spurs are banking on green, Leonard, and splitter making continued progress. They made remarkable strides from two years ago, to last year. If they can replicate that, next season, they should be in good shape. Again. What's the problem?
The Spurs are still the favourites in the West, especially with OKC losing Martin, but the West doesn't have any powerhouse teams, so the conference is still open, tbh..
However, had the Spurs actually used their cap space on an impact player like Kirilenko or somebody else, they would have been a level above the rest of the conference, tbh..
Seems like the Spurs were content with staying pat and internal improvement with OKC losing Martin and the lack of dominant teams in the NBA at the moment, tbh..
Holting pattern again huh
