I was lost there too
Raybies:
I am sorry all your bigs prospects are signing overseas... seems that is better than a vet min for the Spurs at this point?
We better light candles in the chapel of Livio Jean Charles this summer. Let that guy get in the gym with Bertans, Anderson and crew!Stash Brothers for the win!!!!!
No free agents seem to want any part of it.
In hindsight this is hilarious.
Hmm what do you think: Pop doing Rasual Butler like that? What he did last season with him soured all these vets?
Or really the Spurs are perceived to be in a development phase that these vets want no part of?
Personally I think its a mix of both: the Nando de Colo syndrome. We have to call it a syndrome. Guy has turned into a star in Europe and international compe ion but could not get off the bench for Pop. CoJo: Guy played in the ECF and a lot of minutes for a playoff team, but just the season b4 could not get off the bench for Pop when a hobbled Tony was being ate alive by CP3. Kyle: Looks like he's going to have a breakout season, even last season but gets to stand up in corners for Pop while all vets are being ate alive in playoffs. Has to wait for people to get injured to play his game and he's lucky to have even gotten playing time at all. Boban: Looks like an absolute beast, comes to Spurs after being first team Euroleague or something, highly sought after big in FA, but gets to play mostly garbage time for Pop, remaining a mystery for someone else to gamble on. Rasual Butler: Looked last season like he still got some game but Spurs cut him after the trade deadline just cause they wanted to sample Kevin Martin instead, while ended up going back to guys they had in the roster all along.
I got to say, Spurs don't look like a good landing spot for vet min players based on last season.
By the way: ^^ This is a sarcastic piece. Have to specify it bc my essays are not known for being humorous. But Spurs are reaching the humorous department with the vet min. free agents. It really could be that the express intent to get younger means the Spurs are going to focus on developing their guys whenever they can spare it, and these vets are looking at the Nando-De-Colo/JAX syndrome (JAX for those vets who really are done).
but if they can get their Gs to attack instead of chuck the ball a la GSW they've got some active bodies. Kaman sucks, but Plumlee, and Davis are offensive rebounders. Its what you need.
Unless Landry gets bought out, unfortunately, it's seeming more and more likely that they're going to re-sign Bonner.
Clearly, they were planning on moving on, but being spurned by West, Bass and whoever else they might have had interest in, might force their hand.
The reality is, they need a true power forward, that is at least somewhat proven, can shoot, won't complain about being no better than a fringe rotation player and can spot start if Aldridge gets injured.
Aside from spot starting (though he probably would), Bonner checks every other box, plus provides "corporate knowledge" and is well liked.
Blazers doing a great job
At least, Parker extinguised all the doubts concerning new Spurs leader. Manu? Kawhi? LMA? No. "I’m going to try to be a good leader"
She should be spanked for that.
Good read
Spurs putting up Kyle and mills for Okafor
Do you have a source or is that something you'd like to see happen?
The Sixers would be crazy to take on Anderson given that they have his rich man's and Euro versions already.
Bend over, I'll give you a source
or
Bend over, I'll show you something I'd like to see happen
Wow... I thought the Knicks would pick him up. Oh well...
What are you smoking?
Sixers can do way better than Kyle and Mills.
Should stop reading tweets from the average homer Spurs fan.
His source is from one of those illogical Spurs fans on twitter.
I am hearing from Thomas Robinson has a good chance of happening from the "inside circles"...
According to my gma we're a lock for Westbrook next season. Tbh fwiw imo.
That's gospel, right there. Where can I put good money down on it?
Right about this. Wonder what the timeline for signing him might be? I'm guessing they have something they're waiting on. Robinson?
T.Robinson wants his 20 mins per game. I don't think he's ready to get over himself and play a small role. Doubt he's headed here:
With only 13 guarantees, 4 of which being bigs, they could conceivably sign both, though I'd imagine they'd want at least one to agree to a partial guarantee to maintain as much flexibility as possible.
More likely, they're waiting out situations with logjams among their bigs, like the Hawks, Timberwolves and 76ers, to see if they can do better first.
Yikes!
Sounds about right. The big situation is the one I most have my eye on. With all the vilification Matt has received he does as you say 'check a lot of the box.'
