This is summer league people. Having said that, I do hope these two pan out. Just want to see the reactions of other teams FO's in a couple of years..

Need a vine/gif of that Murray to Bertans for the dunk play.

That's the one I want to see, as well.

Especially Indiana's if Bertans pans out.

[Raven]

Chances are if he does that he'll have Kawhi Leonard playing the 2 and Aldridge and Gasol playing behind him. Not sure how much defense he's going to have to play in those situations. Any other time he spends playing the 3 will be in a backup role, against backup players.

if he'll ever play it will be with backups against backups, that much is a given. The lineup you mentioned, actually makes some sense, but boy would that be a slow transition team..

[Raven]

Nah, I can just assume without looking, like you.
Worked for you so far, right?

I think I saw Bertans play more than enough throughout the years that I don't need to see him in summerleague of all places, to judge his skills...

I have too. We can agree to disagree then, respectfully.

So we get Dijon for 4 years and Berts for 2. Really hope Dijon pans out to replace TP eventually...

That would be the best case scenario. I think we are all (most of us) hoping for this outcome.

Y'all wouldn't rather have Murray at 6 man, and get a George hill next year?

That wouldn't make me mad at all, bud. Not unless Murray starts showing out way more than we could have expected, that could work for me.

I like this kid. He may win a game for this team this season with his shooting.

[jermaine]

Nice to see someone taller than 6-6 on the squad today could catch.

[SAGirl]

^^^ nice bounce pass, left handed.

[palangi]

Well there ya go. Looked so much like a 3 out there. Great movement.

He will be a 3 KA is the 4.

[Nathan89]

Pretty nice pass for someone that can't pass.

I never said he couldn't sue. Not once. What I said was that I don't agree with your belief that the player would breeze through court. In fact, I made reference to lawsuits multiple times in my rebuttals.

Yeah, no. They didn't WANT Rubio to stay. They wanted that money from him. They got their money.

I don't know what they'd get. You know sure as it wouldn't be decided on in court until FIBA made their ruling. Even your article says the outcome could go either way. You're misrepresenting the player's leverage no matter what.

You are. I imagine at this point, it's just going to be like that for both of us.

Illogical. The clauses are huge to discourage players from leaving. If Barca doesn't bail Rubio out, he spends three years at his old club and leaves once the Wolves offer him enough to make his buyout. If teams were simply trying to get money, it behooves them to not have buyouts so big that the player sues them. Mind you, this is easily a bigger issue for the NBA where teams are capped in their contributions.

Eh, it's been a way for teams to earn money for 30 years now. I think you're kidding yourself if you think the teams giving up Rubio aren't dancing in their windfalls.

Another completely dishonest post. You can't quote me saying "the player would breeze through court", because I never said that. But you can quote me saying the exact opposite. How fast they go through the courts is immaterial to the fact that they can force their way out of their contracts. Teams know that, thus, big buyout clauses.

I can quote you though, going from "players can't get out of their contract whenever they feel" (except they can), to "FIBA will bar you" if you attempt to take your team to court over a contract (except when they don't, I suppose) to "your belief the player would breeze through court" (not my claim, completely made up).

objective was right, complete waste of time. I gotta admit though, I didn't expect the flat out goal-post moving and dishonesty, but, not the first time, tbh... feel free to have the last word.

Bertans moves ALOT better than I expected. His shot looks amazing, great release lift on his shot. Can get it off any time he wants.

[ElNono]

Nice hops, I'm gonna catch this game later on. Did his defense look good?

[raybies]

One person thinks that.#ceperez
I do think him and Simmons do not pair up.

Yeah I agree. I definitely think it's one or the other. If law of averages holds up Manu will miss his fair share of games so Murray will have his shot. I just think if he's in he needs to be surrounded by shooters and passers.

[raybies]

Yeah it was solid. He moves and puts forth the effort. He can play the four in certain matchups and can hide on a three imo.

Thanks. Spurs really need a player like him, IMO. This is good news.
