    I've been down this toilet flush semi-recently myself.
    Some people learn... some don't. Thankfully I rather enjoy hard liquor and all of my other vices which makes this site more fun.

    You're the Psychiatrist here.
    Nope. I'm just stating facts. I asked you if a psychiatrist had diagnosed you because you exhibit traits and you're dodging.

    You're exactly right. What can I do? I guess I have to make fun of the nonintellectual people on ST.

    You could answer the question. At this point we have to wonder why you don't. We both know what people conclude from such things.

    So there is a fair chance you have a sociopathic personality disorder. Good job.

    I don't play dumb games or answer stupid questions. Been my motto forever. Has nothing to do with your pseudo psychiatrist analysis.

    Megalomania, martyrdom, and then you tried to aggrandize yourself by how much fun you have making fun of others. You can call it stupid all you want but those are all hallmarks of those types of disorders. When you take the golden rule and turn it on its head it's a sign of a lack of empathy in and of itself. You also love talking about yourself but now you won't. That begs the question absolutely.

    Given the above it is a completely reasonable question.

    What really begs the question is the idiot who thinks he can diagnose people from a message board when he has no knowledge in real life. But hey, you stayed at a Holiday Inn Express right?

    Basketball Insiders is now listing the salaries for Gasol and Bertans as

    Gasol - 15.5. -. 16.1975

    Bertans - 0.543. -. 0.975
    Yeah, that's crazy for Bertans to take a paycut to give Gasol more money. The Spurs actually had about $2.5 Million in cap space in my estimation before signing their over-the-cap deals. I guess they absolutely could not find a way to use it.

    I'm not diagnosing you; I'm saying you exhibit traits and there is a huge difference. I'm asking whether or not a shrink has diagnosed you. I know very well I am not in a position to do more than wonder. Now that you refuse to answer a simple direct question, I wonder even more.

    I guess we can call you a Wondering Man now.

    I hope people at least understand why you're so defensive here.

    You have no idea what that line up looks like. You trade Parker, and then you can't comeback to a workable point guard because there are none on the roster and so you can pick scrap off the D- League rosters, but if you think Parker is not far superior to that, you are kidding yourself. There is not a glut of starter caliber point guards with championship experience. Again, I see the decline in Parker's game like everyone, but until someone has a workable theory of a replacement for this year, then they are wasting their time. We have no depth at PG and we can't rely on Kawhi and Green to beat a press against the upper echelon of teams in the NBA.
    It's a gamble. Worst case scenario I'm starting Manu at the pg spot in the playoffs which is also something I'd rather have than TP in my starting lineup.

    Yep. It's like they want him to guard the best player on the other team, score 30 points, including all clutch baskets in the 4th, and now dribble the ball up and initiate the offense. Yes, he will play 40 minutes a game and have nothing left for the playoffs. And if he does dominate the ball, then they'll call him a ball stopper and demand that he be traded.
    Too much of that makes for a short prime.

    Still dodging the question. I think I've made my point nonetheless. My work here is done.

    Evaluating someone's performance based on Summer League compe ion is an exercise in futility. Kyle Anderson is white-hot trash and dominating a bunch of D-league scrubs and underdeveloped rookie prospects doesn't make you an NBA caliber player. The dude won SL MVP last year and not only was he a net negative (-3.9) coming off the bench last year, but he was virtually unplayable against quality opponents. How myopic can people be not to see that Ginobili has carried this scrub for two years, soon to be three. If Pop cared more about winning and less about teaching life lessons, His ass would be glued to the bench.
    Great post, per par

    Spurs better enjoy it now cause of he stays healthy and does what he's capable of he's gonna get paid. Is it a player option for the second year?
    No option, both years guaranteed.

    I don't agree that it is futile. You can tell if someone cannot do something. If they fail at something in summer league then they will fail at it at the higher level. Success only means they have a shot at the higher level.

    That last bit seems completely obtuse about player development although typical of the instant gratification that is the hallmark of US civilization nowadays.

    I would rather Spurs try and get Taj Gibson for half the price of Monroe. Only reason I could see Spurs looking into him is to be a long term replacement for Pau as soon as next year.

    Same, but it appears Spurs want to go full big.

    That's great but Manu only plays 15 minutes a game. He's not the answer.

    If true, the only reason I think the Spurs are looking into Monroe, is due diligence. Essentially trying to find out if his stock is so low, that he could be had in damn near a straight salary dump. Granted, they don't have the space to absorb his salary, but that's where the third team would come in.

    He obviously wouldn't make sense on the roster and there's probably a 99.99% chance of this not happening, but as we all know, they desperately need another rotation big and for all his warts, he's far better than what's left in the bargain bin.
