Lowery staying in Toronto

Gay can be the gunner off the bench the team has needed since Ginobili's scoring became inconsistent. As a starting three, it would be awkward for sure (assuming Kawhi moves to the two), but put him at the backup four with Bertans or Anderson moving into the starting role (with LMA as the five), and you have a more interesting team.

Thanks for trying to see the light.

also appreciate the guys who have me positive signing Mills back was a good thing... if anything bc Murray is going to get his opportunities starting ...

I will get over the disappointment eventually..

False alarm.

Dem false alarms on ST can wreak havoc.

[rastaspur]

Pump those es until they bleed like LMA's vagina.

[Mugen]

Thank god

Nothing of note happening with the Spurs tonight except paying Patty for 21 percent against GS. Goodnight, people.

[MannyIsGod]

No no. If I'm RC and am negotiating with Patty, I'd look at SL's contract as a comp (like you're buying real estate) to set Patty's price. If SL is the "nicer house," why are you paying more for less? I get that there's a loyalty factor of sticking to a contender, but I think that applies to Patty and the spurs too. Simply, this deal makes no sense because you're paying more (for longer) for less. What's the defense to that?



I'm not following the logic here. We need to fill a roster spot so overpay Patty? The better alternative would be to take the 800k roster charge than overpay Patty. Also, why does LMA on 2018? Do you think he'll exercise his player option? Because I don't.



It's not going to help the cap. Patty doesn't move the needle vs. the warriors. He's borderline unplayable against them. So why tie up a ton of money long term by overpaying for an undersized pg?



I've been here for too many of these kinds of offseasons. This reminds me of the RMJ years. We've committed to some horrible contracts before, and we just did again tonight.

Patty Mills is no worse than Tony Snell (Who I love) and he got 4 for 46. Other teams would pay more than 4 for 50 for Patty so why are you stuck on what SL is making? RC can tell Patty what SL made all he wants, but Patty is just going to say what other teams are offering and if Tony Snell is getting 4 for 46 Patty easily has 4 for 50 offers in an NBA where the 3 is king.

LMA s on 2018 because you probably have to move him this offseason if he's truly unhappy enough to be a cancer.

[SpurPadre]

People suggesting Gay would play the 4 with LMA at the 5, the one position he hates to play and he's already disgruntled enough as it is. Either this is not happening at all or the Spurs are cooking up something big we won't have seen coming.

[SAGirl]

Oh well the iggy/Simmons/Rudy gay thing is going to take time.
They are all looking to get paid.

[GSH]

Pump those es until they bleed like LMA's vagina.

See, you went and got yourself worked up with all that talk about fat girls. The C&W clubs don't close for another two hours, but the herd thins out by about 1:00. You better get it in gear.

[LakerHater]

Can anyone confirm Iggy agreed w spurs?

[tdunk21]

Can anyone confirm Iggy agreed w spurs?

Nothing on twitter or ESPN

[Ron Swanson]

Can anyone confirm Iggy agreed w spurs?

Haven't seen anything about that. Just that we're meeting with him tonight.

[GSH]

It could be worse. We could be Knicks fans:

"At this time last year, the Knicks had already committed $72 million to Joakim Noah. So this is already a better free agency."

What the is going on with your posts tonight, bro?

LMA plays a ton of five. His disdain for it is massively overrated. Anyway, what's he going to do if he doesn't like it, leave in free agency? People thinking that he's going to pout or be a locker-room issue forget his time in Portland. A player can be unhappy but still productive and on a winning team. They don't all become Jack.

BTW, the NBA has done such a great job in making their Free Agency a huge event, tbh Twitter really changed the game..

Spurs playing Hungry Hungry Hippos while the Worriers playing Battleship tbh. Shaun 8/yr vs Pity for 12.5/yr? C'mon.

Thought I saw it but can't find it, jus informed that it was taken dwn.

I think snell is a slightly less better offensive player but a substantially better defender, making him the better overall player (who's younger too). Snell is making marginally less than Patty is on their respective new deals. I don't think Snell is a reason for Patty to get paid more.

Frankly, I thought the FO should have moved on from patty. He doesn't move the needle for this team so why commit more money long term?

I don't see why you have to move LMA. If he's truly disgruntled why does he take his player option? Either he declines and is a de facto expiring or is not and has value that can be traded. Both preserve 2018. But regardless, you have other 2018 contracts coming off the books, which is all the more reason not to throw more long term money at mediocre players like patty

[steeledl]

We should just start a 2018 offseason thread already.

What was taken down?
