Am I disappointed in Patty, yes! He's not a point guard! Pop needs to bring in Anderson or Manu as point guard! I really miss Boris as he could pass the ball but he was tough down low compared soft Gasol!
Ahem...
Who still thinks Spurs should pay Patty 44-50 mil over 4 yrs? Or , 36-40 mil ovet 3?

I said it before, Boris could have been a good help because the opp team would have respect his passing and/or shooting. It was just too easy for GS to cover all threats.
Anderson is the Diaw replacement. The most important thing at the PG position is a guy who can defend. The next nice to have is being able to shoot to spread the floor. Then also finishing inside. If Murray can extend his range like Kawhi did that would be ideal. What makes the Warriors so deadly is the number of playmakers and two-way players.
The system gets you 60 regular season wins but being able to make plays gets you playoff wins.
You need a PG who can attack the rim off the dribble without a lot of screens to free up shooters. The league didn't suddenly figure out how to beat the beautiful game, but you have to have the tools for it.
^These are all true. I love Patty, he's a terrific teammate and was huge in '14, but he's not cut out to be a starter. No matter where he ends up, I wish him luck.
There were reports out that Mills himself thinks he's a starting caliber PG when free agency discussions were brought up earlier in the season. He said he wants to start at PG in the NBA. That's when a bunch of us said no way in heck do we want him getting paid big money and starting at PG for the Spurs. If that's what he wanted, a bunch of us wanted nothing to do with it.
He's an undersized shooting guard. I'd rather use that money on an actual sized shooting guard that can play defense and get to the rim. If it was me, I wouldn't pay Mills anything more than 6 million a year. I'm just worried that his piss poor playoffs has brought his price down into the Spurs' range.
I'm Australian and I don't really want him back at all (unless it's for 6 million or less). Great, great guy, but after his performance in the playoffs, I am now starting to feel that Kawhi is becoming a player of Tim Duncan's caliber and the Spurs have to do everything they can to surround him with a team that can compete for Championships. Can't waste money on undersized shooting guards. Try and get a real sized shooting guard instead that plays defense and can get to the rim.
Man, yet another person bringing up how "huge" he was in '14. He was not huge at all. He was very, very average in the first 3 rounds of the playoffs (8th or 9th man at best), and then he had 3 good finals games (game 3, 4 and 5). Those last three games are the only games anyone seems to remember.
He could not hit a shot to save his life in the OKC series before the finals. He was really bad outside of the second half of game 6 in that series.
We needed a PG. hes not a PG
Lol. I'm not sure that's accurate.
That sums it up. At this point, Pop needs to star Murray at PG. Mills is playing out of position.
"He's a fine PG...."
No, he's a good back-up combo guard when playing the appropriate role of scorer off the bench. He isn't able to effectively run a NBA offense as a starter. Doesn't have the vision, handles or all-around scoring ability.
Parker is 36 years old with tons of mileage added up after a HOF career. Of course he can't compete (consistently) against guys younger, more athletic and with less mileage.
LMAO
"Team built around LaMarcus....."
No, just no. That is like saying the '98 - '14 Spurs were built around anyone other than Timmy. The team is clearly built around Kawhi and LaMarcus was supposed to be his "Robin," but clearly he is in the early stage of his decline....
There's nothing funny about that. That's why I said the Spurs need to revisit TP role going forward. Some people took it as a slight to Tony, but it's nothing like it.
And Patty is a fine PG for a non-contender. The Spurs can't expect to compete with the elite at that position with either of them though.
The only two players with max deals are LMA and Kawhi... they're #1 and #2... that's what the team has been built around. Kawhi delivered as #1 while he could, but LMA is not even a #2, tbh... that's the reality of it.
I think he is a number 2 all the way, if you know what I mean![]()
Mills will be a career backup. He's too much of a defensive liability to be a starting PG.
Who is this "Rob Diaz" you speak of?
The Spurs already knew this. It took an injury to Parker to show a few idiots on this board.
Need to keep him and play him in the correct role. He needs the right people around him. Pop needs to apologize to him for having to put him in the spot. Mills sacrificed for the team.
Has there been even one dabom post in this ?
Why do I wan't to blow ths thread up? They are obviously making it a point to stop Patty. He is a role player for s sake. He is there to make it easier for Kawhi. It doesn't work when Kawhi isn't playing. off son.
Patty is running the offense through LMA. Just like Pop is telling him too. Patty ain't the problem, gots. I watch too much BB to understand our real problems.
Patty played great in the houston series, so easy to forget for ya cucks. Even after Pop playing porker the whole year even though everyone knows he has durability issues. You just don't go from back up to starter and not miss a beat.
You need experience too. Some of ya are little insufferable es. No one was complaining when we were winning vs GSW and we had Patty.![]()
I'm glad to have shut down this thread by the way.![]()
Meltdown in progress![]()
And if any of ya pussy es says otherwise, you just ain't as knowledgeable as me.
Lol, you telling me to off when I'm the one giving you the juice for this ride.
Just make sure you're over 55" for this one, okay?
Now: GO.
