    Andre Miller was widely ridiculed by everybody, last year, tbh..most people assumed that he was still in in the league simply because of George Karl's close friendship with him..

    He's not playing in the playoffs in 2016..it would be worse than Bonner getting minutes, and we all know how everybody here would feel if Matty saw the floor in the post-season nowadays..

    Oh well if we also get Martin then I definitely agree that there's really no place for him...especially against GS.

    I'm just hoping he's just there to be a player-coach & is taking Bonner's spot b/c all the frontline players are vets.

    The Spurs don't need a backup PG. We've been over this.
    The front office disagrees with you.

    It all depends on how/when Manu returns. If Manu returns and is able to play at a reasonable level, I see virtually no reason for adding another bench PG...at least not one as ball-dominant and shooting-challenged as Miller.

    No, the front office went out and got a new 3rd string PG. Last I checked Manu and Patty, if you wanna consider him the back-up PG instead, are still on the roster.

    Also agree that Miller is a pretty terrible fit next to Manu. Miller is extremely ball-dominant and can't shoot...not really the type of guy you want on a bench featuring Manu/Diaw.

    Mills/Martin/Manu just seems so much more logical than Miller/Mills/Manu ( , that's a lot of M's ). I have a hard time seeing how PATFO could go with Miller unless a) they're also planning on getting Martin, and Miller is just Manu insurance or b) Martin doesn't end up reaching a buyout agreement with Minnesota.
    I wouldn't want Miller whether Martin is coming or not and in theory, that would only push him further down the depth chart.

    I realize Miller is a play maker and Martin isn't; but Martin would be more Ginobili replacement than Miller.

    If it comes to it, I'd rather Anderson, as the depth creator on the 2nd unit, ahead of Miller. I don't get this on any level.

    I assume he's joining the Spurs as a player-coach..

    Pop loves Miller, Tony Parker has said that Andre is the toughest player he's ever played against..Pop and George Karl are close friends, and Karl is obsessed with Andre Milller, he's essentially his Black son..

    The relationship makes sense, it's most likely a springboard to coaching.. The best organisation in pro sports is the best place for a potential future coach to learn..

    Well you need to go back and read what I said. If Parker, Manu, and Mills are all healthy they'll play before Miller. Miller will take Manu's minutes in my opinion if he's hurt and can't play as many minutes. The front office wants Miller for something. "Backup" is any non-starter in my view.

    I'm worried this means Manu might be out for the rest of the year, especially if we still get Martin.
    That's just my fear: that PATFO knows something bad about the injury ..

    That at least makes some sense. I don't get the signing on any other level.

    Bruh, I have no idea what you're trying to argue then. If the Spurs get Martin he'll get minutes on a healthy Spurs squad. Meanwhile, Miller only gets minutes if someone is injured. Therefore, Martin is a better signing than Miller.

    Andre Miller isn't Manu insurance, tbh..he's not even a good playmaker, if we're being honest..

    He stat-pads assists by dominating the ball, his assists don't contribute to efficient offense, a homeless man's Rondo..I can't even imagine him playing Spurs basketball, let alone with the bench unit..

    Totally agree. I would have prefered Bryce Cotton. He is super quick/fast and would give Curry headaches. This signing does nothing for us.
    We got older and slower not to mention we now have to cut someone, unless its Bonner then really it's no loss at all and insurance for Ginobilli

    If nothing else, maybe he'll take out Blake when we play LAC.

    Not in the playoffs

    Someone is ALREADY injured. That's my point.

    Don't think so. The tenor of Manu's tweets has not been gloomy.
