    Kyle is not getting traded to call Garino up TBH... Team already has 3 rooks. They aren't letting a young vet Pop trusts for another rookie. It just ain't happening.

    If you tell me about a vet yes, I can see it, but not a rookie... just ain't happening... A rookie for Garino like Forbes, maybe... but they already made that call, so I don't see it either.
    So when are you going to admit you were wrong and I was right?

    What Kaji means is a non-rookie
    2 years n some change under a guys belt gives pop some sort of an idea of what he's gonba get out u far more than a rookie would. we aren't even sure if Davis is gonna reveal that he is Bonner's bas son when the playoffs roll around every year

    By any means i suggested of replacing Kyle with Garino.
    Just that Garino can be called up on a couple of 10-day contracts to check his evolution and replace the roster spot if needed until the Spurs actually replace Anderson with a player waived by other team.
    I brought this up, as trading Kyle away now for a pick, will leave us with 14 players for some time. Once a player the Spurs like become available that´s the replacement.

    With so many offensive options on the team, does it even make sense for Anderson to shoot?

    Exactly what I meant. I was also wrong in that this current team had 3 rooks bc they actually have 4!!!

    No offense to others but I just don't see Kyle getting cut for a rookie... it's not happening.... but let's leave the troll gm wanna bes continue down that path. Opinions are like a butthole... and you know what everyone says about that...

    Ppl are hypocritical. I think the only thing that is a problem for Pop is if he were passing up a 3.
    He got benched the last time he did that so he's in a tight leash to not pass up perimeter shots. Other than that it seems to be whatever comes his way if anything, by design...

    Let's see,

    He isn't a starter.

    He doesn't get huge minutes.

    He has almost zero playoff experience.

    Still in rookie contract.

    Stop lying to yourself for s sake.

    Honestly, I think KA will be a Spur for a long time. He's like Matt Bonner, someone who comes in and doesn't make a lot of mistakes.

    Man I hope you are wrong. Matt Bonner at least has a monster 3. Kyle is just garbage.

    Man, that's a grim projection. If you are looking for similarities between Bonner and Kyle you might as well add height and speed. The dissimilarities seem far more obvious. Bonner provided a single, important skill while Kyle is a real Jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none.

    Pretty insulting to Bonner comparing him to Anderson, tbh. At least Bonner looked like an NBA player during the regular season.

    It's really sad tbh. Pop has forsaken him on offense. He needs some more touches and looks, but I don't think that's his role right now. Would love to see him get the ball on post ups against smaller players at least and let him bring the ball up a tad bid more. From a development standpoint he's getting nuked here, but we have so many other options that need attention I understand why it's so hard to get him any other looks than a spot up three.
    What's this about Amderson needing more touches? Kawhi didn't get any "touches" in his first few years, he earned his touches by showing he deserved them while playing on the flow of the offense during those first couple of years. Same thing with Ginobili. If Anderson wants "touches" he has to earn them, but it doesn't seem like he has what it takes to get them, tbh.

    He doesn't... have you seen how he competes without touching the ball at all or taking a single shot in a game? More than anything he need to be involved bc you don't want guys playing 5 on 4 out there seriously... that's all. He need to shoot when he's open. He's not been as open as ppl claim and doesn't have he burden to score. Ppl who are that critical have no sense for what his role is and what he's supposed to be doing.

    The single most important thing is probably to shoot when he's open an to move without the balk to get shots. He's been better at that than he was when the games started and Kawhobe was taking 40% of the possessions and LMA nearly 30%. Even Pay and Tony had to find their grooves in later games.

    If ppl don't understand what his role is they just trolling at this point... ain't nobody got time for that

    Competing is what we see too little of once Summer League ends. I have seen him show flashes of excellent intensity on a few plays. I have been especially impressed by his ability to box out and rebound against larger, more athletic bigs. But in balance, those kinds of plays seem increasingly (which is even more cause for concern) the exception not the rule. You look at the post-game stats, and his line is embarrassingly bare. His dribbling (driving?) seems aimless, and his movement without the ball is worse. Playing within the framework of the offense is one thing, playing aimlessly and with little intensity is quite another.

    I think you know that I am not trolling. I was willing to fish with Kyle for a long time, but it is now time to cut bait. I honestly don't know what the guy's role is, and I am not sure he does either. I said a while ago that I fear Pop has filled Kyle's plate too full. I think it would have been much better for Kyle and the Spurs if Pop had just given him one role to start his career, let him get comfortable in that role, and then expanded it incrementally. In retrospect, trying to utilize a 20-year-old kid as Boris light was a big mistake. Perhaps a fresh start with a new coach/team in a well-defined role would enable Kyle to play with some passion and focus and, hopefully, restart his young career. Don't see that happening with the Spurs, though.

    Right now hes got no mojo going. Im sure Pop wanted him do all the non-scoring things, hes good at screening, but not being aggressive, whether its from Pops instructions or not has taken its toll on his confidence. The last game he almost air balled a three he aimed so hard at and before that he did a very nervous looking floater that looked horrible, and thats his shot.

    He also got burned guarding someone, so badly in fact, that he didnt even have time to have his ankles broken, he was guarding air. This isnt good for his confidence either. Basically he isnt being used for his strengths at all and if you dont use him for his strengths hes useless. Hes a baller not an athlete, so he needs to ball. Yes he needs a shot but at the same time you cant say "get a shot or nothing", you have to allow him to create or you waste the pick.

    I think the good thing is that he looked sooo bad that itll wake him up. We need players with mental toughness and now hes got real motivation to show some, with his career in the balance and all.

    I really liked that some Spurs BBall sites weren't judging Kyle so hard.

    Then I looked at their Lee and Dedmon grades and I was like...WTF?
