ESPN: Spurs Emerging as Favorites to Sign Kevin Martin

**SAGirl** · 03-01-2016

Chinook, Martin can do what you wanted to do with Danny on offense. Danny dribbling is one of the most atrocious things I've ever seen in basketball, right next to his floaters.

He is a terrible defender but so is Kyle.

Can't believe people wouldn't take Kevin Martin for the minimum over cutting a useless POS like Bonner

Bonner won't be cut at this point .... He's been saying he even wants to play more years. At this rate he retires when Pop and Tony do, probably in 2020... not even trolling with that.
Easy to say that, but, Bonner told me months ago he still wants to play a few more years. He wasn't joking #Spurs twitter.com/austin_cheney0…https://mobile.twitter.com/JabariJYoung/status/70472750367221760011:58am - 1 Mar 16

The man to be cut would be one of Butler or Simmons. Lately Butler has shown to be more reliable, Pop getting him into the game earlier than Simmons, bc the time for development is not right now.
But Simmons is young still and will be cheap next season and he's earned a chance to see if he may improve on his mistakes with a second season. I would not cut either for Kmart, but one if them would have to go, which puts Pop in a bind. Butler has played a kind of stretch 4 role that is not suitable for Martin. The man you would have to cut is Simmons because those are the minute s available. I am not sure the Spurs would even do that.

So there you have it, once Spurs signed Miller we may just forget about this guy.

Won't even address the Anderson point as you are an obvious troll in his regard and its a waste of time.

Either way, Minnesota loses. He'll definitely opt in to his contract next year even if that means sitting on the bench for the entire season. At least this way, Minnesota can buy him out at a discount even if it's slight.

It was garbage time, as LAC took a double-digit league with like a minute left. The Spurs had their scrubs vs LAC's starters. Paul was dribbling up the court with Cory guarding him. Joseph kept yelling at him and daring him to score, which Paul did (or got fouled).

I really appreciated the compe iveness Joseph showed that game. He didn't back down even with his team on the way to a loss. He showed that fight again about 15 months later in the WCF against OKC. That's one of the main reason I was in the CoJ as much as I was, and still am. I can only hope that if there comes a time where Simmons has a change to step up an inject some passion and determination into his teammates that he steps up like Cory did.

I read something about Kobe going at Kyle Anderson the entire last Lakers game with the trash talk. And he did get scored on but there were no easy shots. The highlight was Kobe daring him to beat him by himself. Kyle, a very good midrange shooter went through a cold shooting streak with no one guarding him...However, he was sensational to close out the game and made the right plays.

Simmons has been fearless, a trait Pop said he expressly loves about him. I also doubt he gets cut for anybody. Still has another season to improve.

And I don't see Butler getting cut either as he's been more of a stretch 4, a role Kmart cannot fill.

Not sure if serious

And yet it will still keep going on even months after.

I'm not trolling when I say Kyle is a bad defender with poor bball IQ

Just because he makes an extra pass doesn't mean he has has high Bball IQ, that just means he can't shoot the open shot. His post up game is highly overrated here too. You don't bail out Chris Paul with a fadeaway brick.

He's been getting better, but he's not close to being a piece on a team with championship aspirations.

yes, this is a pretty good summation of what ST has become.

Again waste of time to argue with you about that. I could go on with a signature essay and won't make a lick of difference so pretend I did write it and move on, of everything I posted this is the one mention you latch on.
Carry on.

It's kinda a dumpster fire tbh...

I don't need you to reply to me to break your case.

The fact that no poster including many bolds agree with you is telling. The writing is on the walls. SAGirl is a ride or die fan though...

I believe there's a healthy population of off-the-grid Unibombers out there.
Living in their log cabins... no TV since '92... wood stoves... haven't seen a woman (unless they actually got one ((you don't want to see her)) and he's been stuck with nothing, but her since effing '92!)...

I can totally believe there are quite a few folks in that state that have no clue that a black man is their President, much less that they have a basketball team.
I would even doubt that they could explain what "basketball" is.
Or dentistry, for that matter...

But their accents are adorable.

Edit: - they elected Jesse Ventura into their highest office! Have you seen Abraxus?!
