Spurs withdraw qualifying offer for Simmons

[raybies]

thread worthy imo

bye simms, hope your not the next Lance Stephenson

[Big Empty]

ha bad ass

[MultiTroll]

Great, bring him along for two years and give plenty of playoff minutes to.
Instead re up Patty for 4 ing years.

[raybies]

can we officially say Manu is coming back now? they have more money to give to Pau and Manu.. and that would complete the roster.

[cd98]

Wow must be moving on.

[gospursgojas]

Spurs tired of waiting? Making room for another? Now he has to hope a team really wants him or else get possibly less than spurs orig offer. If any offer at all

[NASpurs]

Probably the Nets offering a ton of money.

[phxspurfan]

Maybe we refund his 100 bucks

[loveforthegame]

Best of luck to him. Hope it works out wherever he goes.

Not worth the money for the Spurs. And it looks like they found a better (and cheaper) option in Brandon Paul.

[DaBears]

Why knock Patty he's done everything that been asked, plus he can score more than JSIMS.. I like JSIMS, good for him working hard and getting paid... There are players like JSIMS scattered all over the NBA & G league & Patty probably too if were being honest here.

[raybies]

i mean they just cut him loose. I guess they decided to go with another cheaper option cause he wanted more and wouldn't budge. Spurs probably didnt want to waste their time any longer. But this scenario could allow them to pay Pau and Manu big one year deals to come back if I'm not mistaken for cap next year. And Brandon should be cheap so less money tied up should make some of ya'll happy right

LMAO!!!

[FkLA]

Are they not able to resign him after renouncing him? Like doesnt that just basically make him an unrestricted FA?

[picnroll]

Maybe they wanted a more consistent three point shooter.

[Kurik]

Are they not able to resign him after renouncing him? Like doesnt that just basically make him an unrestricted FA?

It says Unresticted in the tweet, they could still sign him but they won't.

[raybies]

Are they not able to resign him after renouncing him? Like doesnt that just basically make him an unrestricted FA?

Yeah they can sign him and yes he just is UFA now but if they did still want him... that was a power move

Typically I think this means they are moving on

[NASpurs]

This just means someone offered him a lot of money and the Spurs didn't want to match right?

[RD2191]

Dude better get paid cuz odds are he won't be in the league for very long.

Had to check if you were Rocalcio..

[Dverde]

My guess is they gave him a deadline and now they are moving on. May work out better for him. Best of luck unless he joins the warriors.

[superbigtime]

i guess he wasn't right for the money but it sucks to lose exciting players like simmons and dedmon.
gonna miss the signature chase down blocks and dunks. this team is going to be BORING.

That s bag imposter..

[td4mvp2k]

ya that makes room for them

[raybies]

This just means someone offered him a lot of money and the Spurs didn't want to match right?

Yeah maybe. But he didn't even sign an offer sheet. He was just cut loose. They moved in another direction. He'll probably make a tad bit more than what the Spurs offered if that imo

[raybies]

Should of just taken the reported 9 per when FA started but likely got greedy for 2 or 3 games worth of production
