    The one-year deal doesn't say too much for me IMO - it's just good business for Rudy. Can still give SA an advantage to sign him, but he was doing SA a solid by coming at that price it looks like.
    I think he's ready for a taste. A taste of success and see how that feels, as opposed to personal wealth.
    We'll see how it goes...

    Hopefully they do succeed and no major injuries happen and he buys in and plays more D like Aldridge has done and this team does something... I don't know... Something special.

    Totally doubt it. But...

    I'm fine with Rudy, but man, this PG rotation is such a major gamble on SA's part. It's legit bad and there is so much pressure on guys like Murray/Forbes/White to do something which scares me a lot.

    Worst case scenario: Patty is the starter and brings it up, just to give it to Kawhi every time.
    And there it goes.
    The plays start with Kawhi.

    Not through the whole game... but every time it gets crunch: Patty to Kawhi: Go.

    Rudy seems excited.



    One guy doesn't quite fit in that photo. Hopefully he'll have a change of heart and seriously get over himself.

    I do think Signing Gay was the right move. If he plays well, Spurs get him at a steal for one year and get the inside track to re-sign him along with the rep for rehabilitating players like Gay after injuries or instilling a winning culture. Pardon the pun, but if he flames out, then Spurs having a down year gives us a better draft position next year plus we will have cap space to sign another superstar. It's not like we are going to beat GSW this year. So compiling assets for a year is a smart move.

    Look, if SA brings back the same team basically and Gay sucks, they won't be getting a good draft pick. They will still be a top 4 team.

    Also, keep in mind, that cap space comes with LMA leaving. SA really needs 3 stars and right now they have 1.5. If LMA leaves and they get a legit star, that would be 2, but it would be damn nice to just keep adding to LMA/Kawhi

    LMA will be an expiring contract. It will be valuable for a team over the cap (and there are a lot of them). Same with Gay's contract if he opts in.

    Spurs arent necessarily bringing back the same team. Losing Manu and Dedmon will have an impact, especially if Gay is in and out of the lineup or if he has lost too many steps. I'm not saying a lottery pick, but being a 4 or 5 seed or even lower wouldn't bother me. If we can't win it all, and as cons uted, not sure we can, I don't mind Spurs underachieving for a year.

    You realize MVPaddy has led the Olympics in scoring and has been a rotation player on elite teams, right? Forbes resume consists of one good RS game against a tanking Dallas team and a good Summer League game.
    I averaged a triple double in high school but i didnt do like mills last post season. Im sure gsw gives as much about my high school as the australian olympics.

    It's not whether or not I mind it, it is what it is. Them underachieving really does nothing to help the team is what I'm saying.

    Will you indulge me in an experiment? Take Murray off your avi - let's see how he does the next SL game. If he sucks you can put it right back.
