You couldn't even bring yourself to hit a woman, you little and a half.
Or Simmons to only like 8 million
We need vets Simmons is embarassing this team with his dunks
He couldn't even bring himself to throw a punch with his twiggy, rice fed Libyan arms.
*Twiggy, rice fed Algerian arms
There is no hope only Pau.
Damn! Way off, haha. But then again who expected this.
This has to be a typo. I would rather pay him 20 millions on a one year deal.
I was fine with letting simmons go..really didn't care for him but now that we get this deal with Pau Gasol...wow.
Ridiculuous. How come are they willing to pay 16 million to a nonplayable player against the best teams but won't even give someome like simmons 9 million.
It boggles my mind...
A disgrace.
This is the worst off season in the Robinson+ era.
They're a first round loser and won't have the cap room to improve, because they're locking up 30% of the cap in non starters.
Pathetic.
Holy sh*t I was way off
I think even all the opposities in the Spurstalk..All the posters that hate other can agree with this.
It's mind boggling.
At this point, they must be paying players to get people to watch games (san antonio locals)
Never liked simmoms but to let him go so you can give Pau 16 million..unreal.
Ginobili is probably getting something ridiculous too.
This is awful. I would have thought it was going to be 10 mil a year with third year being 1 mil guaranteed.
I was going to mention precisely the fact that Patty and Pau are really bench players, or were... unless they project to be starters in the future Spurs these contracts don't make sense. And that is just discussing the financial aspect... not quality or whatever. For two bench players? That is fricking too much. I had even rationalized that Patty's deal was 6th man quality etc... but him plus Pau? wth?
16 mil in 2 yrs maybe? 3rd year player option? Had to be a typo.
I am starting to think Spurs were going to pay Simmons too, at least the same he would have gotten in Orlando. It really was Simmons who wanted out of the team to "spread his wings."
RC didn't make him any offer to start FA though, and in doing that probably angered him a little, which was a further factor in pushing him away.
I think this is a terrible contract and a massive overpay (I would have offered either 18.6M$/1yr - a 20% raise through non-bird rights),
However, they are doing something that's either clever or stupid with the CBA here:
The over 38 rule: http://www.cbafaq.com/salarycap.htm#Q56
I don't understand it, but a bunch of that salary counts forward into this years cap... Which a) makes him a trade bait that can eat any kind of salary, and b) I'm not clear how much cap hold he takes in each year if he stays...
The more I think about, it's not terrible if most of the last year is non-guaranteed. He gets made whole for this season, and gets a second season at probably 3-4M more than he'd probably get in the open market for being a team player and opting out. Not his fault the Spurs couldn't use the flexibility to bring someone in.
That last year is a nice trade peice to make salaries work in a trade. Also makes me think they'll continue to shop LMA over the course of the year.
Wait.... wait... wait... I'm not bashing him cuz I do feel he's skilled. But am I missimissing something here? WHAT THE has he done to deserve that much money?? More than the GOAT of pf's!?! They must be bout to trade this s contract or something... Everyone was saying how the Spurs got him to opt out that big contract. Just to get a bigger 1. An more than Timmy at his age.
Last summer when Conley got his contract, he joined Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant as the only players in NBA history to make more than $30 million a year..
It's just something that'll likely continue to happen. Doesn't mean this person was better or did more than some of these GOAT's, just more money to give these days
Yeah...but $16,000,000...and another $16,000,000...and some more
