    I don't think it's safe to say the Spurs offered him anything yet...just seems to be rumored they'd match the MLE (9M) but that number could even shrink if he can't get anything significant.
    I think it's part of their exit meeting to talk contract with each of the free agents if they're willing to discuss it. They clearly had the conversation with Pau and Patty. No reason to logically think they passed on the convo with Simmons. But Simmons wants to test the market, and that makes sense. Not saying I'm certain that's the situation, but it's logical.

    If Simmons is shaky (I agree), what does that make Milutinov who's never a minute of NBA basketball?
    Cheaper & filling a need (dive man who can defend) we desperately need if we're going to get back to playing less ISO ball. As I said before, we could take a flier on Tiago as well as he could be had for minimum given he's been chronically injured the last couple of seasons. His body could be cactus though.

    Nah, not me. He gave everything he had to the Spurs, never quit or even let up. I would love him back in the Silver and Black, but if he gets paid ridiculous money there's no hate coming from my way.

    I think he ends up back with us at around 9 or 10 per. Im fine with that.

    What I mean, is anytime he has a bad game everyone is going to turn on him when his contract gets larger. He was easy to like making less than a mil. Now, if he isn't an allstar he will be trash to everyone on here. He wont be the best player making 10 per year..... but he wont be the worst either because of effort.

    Don't tell that to Golden State or he'll be snatched up too.

    God, it seems like that atm doesn't it. Although they did have to bid for the Bell draft which we wouldn't have been able to compete with.

    that is probably too much to ask, two of those are in the summer league and doing none too well... but I can't blame a Spur fan for asking.
    I want to see Kyle be a regular rotation player.

    teams were waiting for Hayward to make a decision on lower guys. He probably has been waiting on offers

    I was talking to a friend about this the other day. I do believe Simmons owes the Spurs a little bit of loyalty. Do you guys agree with that?

    The Spurs gave him this chance and I feel he needs to give them a chance if the money is close. If another team offers him way more than the Spurs are willing to offer and he leaves, OK, that is cool, but if the money is close, say 1-2 million apart, then I really do believe the owes it to the Spurs to show some loyalty. He'd be a nobody if he signed with most other teams. I mean, he never would have played in the WCSF or WCF to show what he can do on that stage if he had of signed with almost any other team. I believe he owes the Spurs a hometown discount if the contract offers are close.

    If Simmons received great offers, he would have already signed an offer sheet somewhere. Teams aren't giving Crabbe or Evan Turner money -- he's not getting that. Spurs should be able to keep him.

    Exactly!!! Like it or not, help us or hurt us... the Spurs always try to do right by players. I know Simmons betted on himself, but the Spurs put you on! You rock with the ones who help you get on.. If he goes to the Knicks, he'll be out of the league before the yr is up... See Blair, Tiago, Baynes, Boban, Jackie Butler, Melvin Ely, etc. I can go on an on.

    Which makes me believe the Spurs will be a active once guys can actually sign.

    A rush to judgment, friend, after a single SL game. I think the team's play definitely reflects Becky's absence.

    I said before that a one-and-one at the MLE would make the most sense for both sides. When I said that, the MLE was supposed to be like $6 Million, but on a deal this short, that doesn't make too big of a difference.

    hopefully. IMO still too rich to ask all of them to be starting... this is Pop we are talking about. but what can you say? fans have a right to wish anything.

    No. I agree that they all aren't starting. My rush to judgment was about the bolded part of your comment.
