    Richardson and Powell signed for the max they could on an extension as 2nd round picks, which is 4/$42M. Think Anderson is trending towards the MLE, which is something like 4/$38M.

    Unfortunately, that might squeeze Gay, both financially and role wise. If it does, it should guarantee Bertans being re-signed and having a bigger role though.

    Doesn't Gay have a player option? It's up to him what he wants to do it seems like, though if his minutes decline somewhat he might just not want to come back next season. I am guessing that is what you meant.

    He does, but that was likely just in case he fell off a cliff or suffers another significant injury. Otherwise, he was more than likely always going to opt out.

    If him and Anderson trends closer towards a 50/50 proposition in terms of minutes, that could dissuade him from even wanting to come back.

    Got'cha. I thought the Spurs couldn't afford to offer him that much more, if he opted out to get a raise.. (but there are things like longer term deals he could negotiate) He was so emphatic about wanting to be a Spur for life ya know. Prisoner of the moment maybe...

    What we don't really know is how Rudy physically is feeling (we only know he had a sore back at one point that he played through, then he also sat one game... so I don't want to assume much from minutes played. He only started playing in preseason, so minutes management can just be some typical protocol for his continued optimal playing shape and minimizing risks.

    But thanks for clarifying the contract issue.

    You, Chinook too, there are others, some who don't post regularly.

    Heh, there are guys like Brazil who previously resented him, who recognized he showed up.

    I didn't post the thread to say I called it... but rather bc coach recognized that he grew up as a player and it carried over. It mattered.

    He was able to play well in spite of an unnatural situation with Lamarcus insecure and out of his element, not showing the required leadership (he wasn't ready and had issues not feeling comfortable it turns out), but for others in the team it was a factor that leadership crumbled, everyone was pretty much overwhelmed, except Simmons some games, Manu the last game. That Kyle showed up, those things build character. They tell you, if you were a guy out of a rotation, and you are able to rise, that you belong and don't need anyone to tell you to come out and play. It showed guts, compe ive desire. It showed a lot of things. If I am honest, I didn't expect more out of Mills than he gave, he was out of his element big time and guarded by Klay and made a point of focus. I am willing to cut him some slack.. but it's ppl who didn't give Kyle credit for his development who were dishonest.

    Turns out the season started much the same as it ended. The irony. Tony still down and Kawhi still out. Were they going to continue with the "poor me" at ude? Nope.

    So yes, Kyle grew up in the playoffs and carried over. That coach Pop said it is an affirmation of what I have been saying.

    Now..... let the trolls be troll... it's going to fall on deaf ears. I am enjoying this moment.

    Anderson haa some of the best anticipation for passes I've ever seen. Same with guys dribbling near him, he knocks the ball away as often as anyone in the league - lightning quick between the ears. His reluctance to score probably had as much to do witb not having a jumper as anything, but has obviously worked pretty hard on that given the steady improvement to the point he's probably above average when he does let it fly.

    All guys here are just jealous lol

    Truth be told... he does have the most gorgeous smile and eyes. He also has a nice personality, and sense of humor, those things are lady killers. Your mom has good taste.
    I don't think Kyle has a problem in the lady friend department.
    I'm a dude and all, so this isn't my opinion and I'm just relaying what chicks have told me.

    Chicks dig danny green, especially black women. I've heard alot of black women talking about how fine he is.

    Never heard that about kyle though. To each his own, different strokes, etc., etc.

    The main issue is finding places and who comes off the court for Kyle, once Kawhi gets back.
    I can actually see Kyle coming in for Pau, with LMA going to the 5, and then him also backing the 3 to get some more time on the court and to give the team some very different looks at the opposing D with different playmakers at different positions.

    I'm just guessing though.
    That's where I'm at with it in my head right now. I agree

    He does have a large forehead...but like I said, gorgeous smile, eyes, and a nice personality... the personality alone ...


    it's like Diaw some guys are just a magnet that way. Of course, I have seen comments in other boards, about Diaw's buttocks being the real reason ladies were gazing... I can't say I was charmed that way by Diaw, but he seemed like definitely an interesting man. Had the personality, the smile and the sense humor to think he'd be real fun to hang around with.



    I am not mentioning Tony... cute as he is... has never struck me that way. as you say must be different strokes for different people.
    Sort of off-topic, but a friend's dad trained Kyle's dog. He confirmed that he's a good dude that loves his dog. Basketball aside, he's won points with me for being a dog lover.

    That dog looks like a good one. Love that pose.

    I've got 10 animals. I do rescues and all that. if he is a dog lover, then he earns points with me.

    4 dogs - 2 pits, 1 catahoula/lab mix and a little dog
    6 cats

    Interesting opinion on Danny. Dressed in casual clothes he is really fine looking man... and he has a nice smile. I can definitely see the appeal. He also has good taste in how he dresses.

    In uniform I notice his bow shaped legs too much. I guess its the same as noticing Kyle's forehead for someone else, such a strong turnoff that the eyes or smile don't matter. I notice Danny's bow shaped legs all game... but in casual clothes, he's definitely handsome.



    Lately Dejounte is really easy on the eyes for sure, and Kawhi is the equivalent of an Adonis, but he doesn't have a personality. Personality goes a long way..

    wel b4 this gets weird.. :-)

    When I inquired with the black women as to why the responses were typically:

    (1) his smile and confidence
    (2) how smart and articulate he sounds and how he carries himself
    (3) and one skank said he can dance so she bets he can really someone down. Her words, not mine. Haha

    I always thought Danny's quick feet is what makes him quick as a cat on defense.. will not say more.
    It already is weird.

    That's great. I always get a kick out of how the littlest dogs try to be the alpha and bully bigger dogs. My pit just sits there staring at the little ones on bewilderment.

    I understand its difficult to accept, but Manu is now playing for an amount comparable to the vet min, has already accepted contracts very under market price more times (except for one time) and has never suffered an injury like the one Parker just had (potential career ending, expecially at 35 years old).
    The awful truth is that TP has being paid very well and exceeding his real value as a player in his last contract.
    Other awful truth is that his injury has come at the end of his best season probably 'cause, trying to be back to his old efficiency, he overplayed his body to a point of breaking.
    To avoid that happens again, his minutes, a la Manu after 35 years old, have to be limited.
    Frankly, I think he has already made enough money so that should not be his priority...

    There's no way TP gets the veteran minimum.
    There is a chance some guys just don't come back. It's happened the last few seasons, and it wouldn't surprise if it happened again. Spurs can't afford to pay everyone what they are worth and some guys do outgrow their role in the Spurs. Kyle is definitely at risk to elope but I will say... he isn't the only one.
    sorry...the above message was a reply to this quote

    Pop said in the playoffs last year "Kyle Anderson started to blossom for San Antonio and it’s carried over into this season."

    What I think what Pop really meant by "blossom" is that Kyle now likes Boyz, wears a bra and has pubes on his vagina..

    I read it in some thread myself a few days ago. Stupid post a child would make, but whatevs. Not my fight.
    I agree on the fact that it's childish, but it's Dabom's idea and you can't expect much from him...

    This thread made a pretty gay turn, tbh.
































    Not that there's anything wrong with that.
