Waste of roster space/resources/development time
Lee has earned his minutes easily. There will be some nights where Bertans makes sense in that spot, but Lee does lots of things well. He doesn't hit 3s, but he provides a similar spark and fire that Bertans play tonight did.
Pop should play Bertans at the 3 sometimes tho
Fathead has two moves: in and out dribble and pass out, or in and out dribble and shoot. Neither usually leads to anything good. He needs to go.
Its so sad that the spurs have wasted 3 years for head and he has not had a game of this impact as Bertans.
Lol at that guy who said kyle>cojo
but but he could be the next Lebron if he tried...
Kyle has no business in a NBA uniform.
And the next LeBron is better than the next Bonner isn't it?![]()
tru...tru...if only Pop didn't coddle Simmons or would take away some of Ginobili's minutes so Anderson could show what he can do.![]()

Kyle will be a Spur for a long time because 1) he knows the system, 2) he has "potential" due to his youth 3) he seems like a good teammate 4) he has gotten over himself and 5)he'll probably be cheap.
We're ed![]()
The problem is that Bertans routinely gets abused when he's matchuped with a 3 and finding open three point shots gets increasingly more difficult as a 3 since he is facing more mobile players.
And then you have Lee-Dedmon who are both playing at high level...Bertans is basically a better Bonner..a much beter bonner.
That's where things eventually got to with Ian Maninmi. He had scattered good games after he left, and finally a decent season 6 years after he left. But the Spurs had to move on. Kyle needs to step it up or go the same way.
A good point but Bertans is a legit spark and provided enough regular minutes who knows what he could do. Kyle's barely in this conversation... they don't play the same spots and Kyle is also a deep bench reserve.. guys just like to troll...
The interesting discussion is Lee va Bertans or is you want him at the 3 Simmons... Simmons is a different player, more like a playmaking guard etc.. and I think if you take him out he will be missed... Bertans is a big.. so him vs Lee is the real conersation... watch the spot he played and how great he was in it. But guys are hypocrites and want to hate on KA more than they really want Davis to play... (Lee spot is the one in play TBH).
Matt Boner 2.0
PATFO hasnt given up on Anderson because they havent played him at the 4 that much in his career but when they do he usually excells. The last two Spurs teams had tons of bigs so there is very little minutes for him.
I suspect that they're banking on Kyle to play at a decent level as a 4 next year when Lee opts and he becomes expensive.
Nico was booted to allow for more playing time for Murray, why not boot someone for Bertans? (Just kidding SAGirl)
SAG, all you have at this point is that this "but they play different positions" nonsense. Even then, that is a terrible argument to make since Kyle is so bad at the 3, that he's more valuable as a big...Which Bertans is clearly more valuable as. Kyle sucks and doesn't belong here. It isn't trolling when EVERYONE says the same thing.
I really don't know for next season obviously but the arrival of Davis has pushed Kyle to play as a wing sucking or not..
For Davis, it's a legit discussion if he should play more ... Fine the debate with Kyle... but how about the discussion about others... it's otherwise not a real discussion as he's a big for Pop.
But Bertans is clearly the better option at the 4...lol
I know but in the kidding sense... if you boot Kyle you hardly get more minutes for Davis... that's mostly the point...
Even tho the eye test, stats, and game impact show it urstil trolling. Stop it pls. Kyle anderson is the next magic johnson.
Wait wrong acct
Yea that's pretty much what I said too. This thread ( le at least) is kinda irrelevant at this point.
Bertans is a big, but he and Lee are completely different types of bigs. Lee & Dedmon are guys who just kill on the boards and looseballs. They do all the dirty work together, and Lee is a tremendous passer/post player/finisher around the paint. Bertans is obviously a stretch 4 who can take you off the dribble and finish around the rim as we saw. Bertans is probably a SG in a PF's body.
Overall, Bertans does deserve more minutes. I do hope Pop at least entertains playing him at the 3 sometimes. As I said there will be nights where his shooting is needed, so he'll get more minutes. Whether that's at Lee's or Dedmon's expense (If Pop plays Lee @ the 5 for w/e reason) then so be it. It's tough to find guys minutes, but tbh it's a good problem to have. And it's tough to argue with the team's success thus far too
I'd rather play small at the 3 with the guards we have than have Kyle as the backup 3. He's that bad.
you would hope... Kyle should go back to his roots, either the Nyets or the Lakeshow... both teams where they can "showcase" him...
