He's a backup SF that is getting paid less than Patty f'ing Mills, ffs. It's not like we're giving a $100 million contract to someone like Nick Young to start.
Must be awesome to be Gay. I wish I was Gay right now.
Rudy Gay signing, and how it impacts Adam Hangs, not Jonathan Simmons
http://hoopshype.com/rumor/1125239/
Lol, like it was going to take the full MLE to sign Hanga. The LLE would be overkill.
nobody in the whole association would give him the full MLE. His value is in Europe. Here he should get like 1.5 mill per imo
the whole league is in desperation mode , pal.
It's not so much about price of a contract with Hanga, it's about playing time. Guys want to play. It seems to be Hanga if Simmons signs elsewear. There will be too many guard/forwards with the Gay signing to have Hanga and Simmons. Unless Gay will be a small ball 4.
At this point, pop needs to tell him to play the center position or to get used to sitting on the bench. LMA's feelings don't matter anymore after he went snitching and complaining to the media through back channels
I pray we dont start rudy at PF...id rather a big lineup of him and kawhi on the perimeter...and only play gay at pf for small ball lineups
Gay's going to be playing the 3/4. I'm sure the plan is for him to play substantial minutes at the 4 for us, and do some backup of Kawhi when it makes sense at the three.
Simmons showed up in both playoff series for us.
Kyle Anderson had one good game when the series was over and the Warriors were coasting for the Finals. We get it, you love Kyle and think he'll be a ten time All-Star down the road. Cool story.
Small ball is becoming the norm. At this rate people will only apply the term to 5-guard lineups in the near future. Seriously, every team has been signing guards and wings in free agency; look how many 5s are still available and going begging for the dregs of cap space teams have left.
Foregone conclusion that LMA will be our starting 5 most games - if he returns. Softest 5 in the league. I actually got excited watching the SL game last night; with Dijon held out, I was dreaming of a LMA/Dijon trade.
Kyle outplayed Simmons against GS. He "showed up" in all four games but only shot aggressively in Game Four. He went 6/9/5 in Game three in 20 minutes shooting 100 percent from the field. Simmons by and large had a bunch of inefficient volume-shooting games. While you can't fault Jonathon too much for that, it's just false to act like he performed at a significantly higher level than Anderson did.
Good to see some progressive people accepting Gay, but their are still people that are against Gay.
Spurs have had gayer.

Kind of tend to agree. Simmons would be hard for the Spurs to replace this summer as hey don't have anyone up the pike, but ultimately, I'm not a huge fan. I do think Anderson will be better at 28 than Simmons is right now. That is if he will stop being a Diaw clone as to aggressiveness.
Yes, but they hated RJ.
The Spurs just signed Gay for the offense, and they could easily make up for the defense by signing Hanga for cheaper.
Wow. Spurs homer Skip Bayless doesn't like the move.
"Rudy Gay is not a San Antonio Spur. Lamarcus Aldridge is not a San Antonio Spur. Rudy Gay is a classic overrated underachiever."
Gotta disagree with you on this one, Skip, cause I love this move. Buy low, sell high.
Spurs sign Rudy Gay.
Translation: We haven't done jack so let's just do something.
Over 11 seasons Gay only played in 1 Playoff series and lost.
Translation: WTF
Rudy Gay and LMA are players cut from the same cloth.
Translation: it.
Only if he accepts lesser role. Aldridge accepted it at the beginning and now he crying about his stats.
Hmmm. Good point. But maybe the cut off line is somewhere between Gay and Jefferson.
