I could be wrong, but I think he was being sarcastic because of all the KD to GS stuff going on.
REally? hmm ppl upset about summer league?
The Spurs legit have a possible roster spot open for a 5th big. It's a legit opportunity for Stokes.
Also, great team to showcase himself even if he doesn't end up with the Spurs, they have a chance to win many games like last season, and many of the "roleplayers" from last season's team ended up with NBA invites for training camps... definite great showcase.

I think LJC has a spot, and Stokes may be fighting with Ndoye and Cady for one, though.
I was making a joke based on the Zaza business. I do think some might be annoyed about Anderson being there for a third time, especially considering that he was MVP last year.
Thabks. I'm hopeful LJC can still develope into an Al-Farouq Aminu type guy for us. He's got a ways to go but he has tools.
I like watching Stokes has some decent foot work and moves quickly for his tweener forward body. Curious to see how he matches up against small forwards defensively would create a lot of versatility off the bench with his interior offense
Thanks for sharing this ^
I was wondering about Milutinov myself. I was really excited to see him.
You have to use blue font with me... I can't discern all jokes lol I am sometimes too naive lol
I am laughing at myself right now
don't know which ST poster used to always say it but when it comes to the SL, We StackkkkkkedLooking at that Vegas roster, and damn, we should roll through compe ion
Forbes hasn't looked particular good defensively but if brought in it would be for his shooting. Haven't seen him bring the ball up the court at all over the last three games. Undersized SG that they may be able to get away playing the point position along Anderson and Manu
Looking forward to watching Bertans, haven't seen him really play much before.
I thought Bertans was not going to play due to need of resting
If the Spurs wanna go back to back, this has to be the starting lineup:
Lalanne, Stokes, Bertans, Simmons, Murray
Bench:
Ndoye, Jean-Charles, Washburn, Forbes, Arcidiacono
Murray, Bertans, LJC, Ndoye, and Stokes I'm most interested in.
Good guess.
I think at some point they will want to see Murray at the 2 as well, maybe in a young Manu, "go get yours in the bench" role.
I am also guessing they will want to see Bertans at both forward spots.
About Anderson, maybe they just reduce his minutes to see others. My su ion though, is that Pop has been sitting at home yelling at the TV over every single mistake,
Outside of the joke though, next season he will be counted upon, these are not garbage time minutes he will be playing, and he's stepping in for a Pop favorite, wine tasting very versatile player. When Manu rests, it's an entirely new bench out there save Mills. There is probably a bit of nerve wreck from Pop.
Murray looked really impressive in stretches of the game yesterday with his driving and aggression. Can't wait to see how he looks in the next few games. I have a feeling he was a steal in the draft.
I must admit, I'm a little disappointed Milutinov is not playing. Maybe he didn't want to play unless he signed a contract also and with so much uncertainty with Duncan's decision his coming over was in doubt since Livio was next in line. He's put in more years already and its his time for a shot. Maybe they though Milutinov could use a little more seasoning. But another reason I've been thinking is that they want to stagger the contracts of the rookies so they don't all expire at once and are forced to let go of some with the contracts if they turn out to be players.The latter seems more likely. Gosh i wonder who they are liking at for third center cause all we have is the vet minimum and can't afford to trade say a Patty. Maybe Simmons but he's a cheap player that knows the system. Could possibly be Livio who gets traded if he doesn't perform well, un likely but we'll see.
Very good point that I had not ever considered is the contractual aspect of this.
Roster for Vegas:
All I can say is that on this team, Lorbek is going to look like an old man wearing borrowed shoes.
I still can't believe that no one's commented on Hanlan's absence yet.
Too much excitement over Murray's debut is my guess.
Plus for me Milutinov's absence. I was more hyped up to see him than any other of the latest additions personally.
I don't know zilch about Hanlan.
It may have been "suggested" by the Spurs to play overseas again this season. Although he was with Zalgiris in the Top 16, he only averaged 7 points and 1.5 assists with 32.4% 2P% in Euroleague play. He may need another year of seasoning.
These times are pacific.Roster for Vegas:
Very annoyed with the Milutinov absence. And his bigger picture.
Basically, he's going to have tremendous incentive to not come over for 17-18 because of the 3-year rule for rookie contracts.
So the benefit of a cheap contract on a rookie deal with all those years of control is mostly nullified. And if they want him for 18-19, they'll be in a bind because they also have to carve out enough cap room to match a deal for Bertans or see him leave like Boban. Which restricts the money they'll have to replace Pau, Green, and possibly Parker if Murray doesn't work out.
It's going to be a shame if they don't sign him this summer.

Happy to watch Bertans, don't know if he'll play that much with his knees and resting them.
-:
Don't care about Hanlon. He was more valuable as a token part of a trade than as a player.
--
Don't need more Anderson. Not really interested in too much more Simmons either to be honest.
-:
Don't care about Stokes, don't think he could help the Spurs
