Chinook the realist right now.
Same dribble? Lol read a bookThe only takes you have are just the same "no talent in the NBA blah blah blah".
You never post anything else other than the same dribble when you follow me and others around the forum. Tell me how you should be the Celtics' starting PG again though.
Because they'd have huge holes with no one on the roster to fill them. In the same way that Pop immediately decided to break the bank for Pau once Tim retired, he would likely try to find a replacement center to start next to Aldridge at all costs. I have zero idea who such a center would be, and what cost it would take, but you can't lose Pau and just stay the course. If they pick up a guy like Greg Monroe or Brook Lopez as a buy-out guy and he plays well in the stretch-run and playoffs, then that would at least give them an internal option. Right now, the only option is Joff ... and well, it wouldn't be Joff.
It's called a typo. And, lol, the irony.
Patty is the only old spur with character. Hes the bridge.
I'd say LaMarcus is more of a leader than anyone this year. Manu and Parker are right behind him with Kawhi. LOL at Patty being THE leader.
You must not know what that means....The irony.
Unknown. Best scorer, most consistent doesnt equate to leader.
I know what drivel is. Auto-correct can be a sometimes when you're mobile. Keep on with weak spelling and grammar smack if that's all you have though - I'm here to talk ball.
Oh ok auto correct. And your past posts really indicate youre hear to quote talk ball...I know what drivel is. Auto-correct can be a sometimes when you're mobile. Keep on with weak spelling and grammar smack if that's all you have though - I'm here to talk ball.
That's why all of his teammates have raved about his leadership this year?
How he's adopted Timmys way to lead by effort and work ethic night in and night out?
You have good points.Rudy had an off game. It happens. As for the defense, this is his first year with a defense-first team while coming off of an achilles injury, so I don't worry about his defense all that much. I say keep him if possible because he makes the bench stronger and brings much needed versatility.
Regardless, Patty has to go. That's all I care about above all else...I won't hold my breath though.
Rudy really is in the driver’s seat of his own situation.
*here
That was easy.
I don't know. But their culture is like their third superstar right now. It may not be worth jeopardizing it for Bryn Forbes. Trading away RJ really seemed to lift up the team back in 2012. So we know that one person can affect chemistry a lot. The Spurs are loses sources of culture now with Tim and Bonner retired and with Manu and Tony near the door. Mills by himself may not be enough, but I'm struggling to figure out who would replace him. Not Kawhi or LMA -- they would have done it already. Not Gay, because he's him. What does Murray know? And they tried with Danny for a bit last year, and it didn't really work out outside of interviews.
He has really surprised me. I didn't think he'd look even this good. Those achilles injuries are killer...It's only up from here for Rudy, imo.You have good points.
Rudy really is in the driver’s seat of his own situation.
I don't know. Bertans was waving a nasty towel on the bench tonight. Looks like Mills has some compe ion.
Gasol on Aldridge's put back with 24.2 second left: " “LaMarcus is showing great compe iveness and great heart and great leadership. I just love what I am seeing from him. He’s not just settling for jumpers. He’s going after balls, going after rebounds, making key plays."
A super-big play that kind of got lost in the wake of Manu's dagger trey.
Pretty sure that "grasping at straws" quote is from the first Thunder game.
This I believe too. Pop might be off his rocker or whatever with the chemistry thing, but I have seen players in this team describe Patty as basically the leader. Kyle of all ppl said it. Manu said Patty is like a bridge right now between himself and the new generation. Manu might not be as influential or close to the younger guys as Patty is. There’s probably a big disconnect between the Spurs younglings and the old dudes otherwise. Just not much in common, generations too far apart. Patty is definitely the “missing link” between the two generations to put it in some metaphorical way.
Kyle I believe the Spurs do want him back. I do have my doubts on what happens with him. It depends very much on addressing Rudy first. I do believe Spurs want him back so he has a good chance. We shall see what happens rest of the season and playoffs. I’d like Bryn back. And Although I like Davis a bunch I think he still remains the guy likeliest to not come back if Rudy does (TD 21 might have that one pegged).
In terms of chemistry, its might be Kyle if he’s re-signed.
Has nothing to do with him leading but just being a people person and a guy that Pop said, everyone enjoys playing with and who has a high bbiq. That’s if he comes back of course. There might be others. It’s difficult to know how influential guys like Pau are still. The youngsters have a lot to work on. Usually the leaders are at least veterans.

-I went with the vet minimum for Parker, though I had a $5-10 million dollar, 1 year deal for him in mind initially.
- I didn't assign any money to Bertans but I used the aforementioned numbers for Gay and Anderson.
- I keep getting weird numbers when I look up the salary of the 27th pick in the 2018 draft so I used White's starting salary as a place holder.
-Also included Duncan's last year after the stretch and waive as well. If Manu were to retire I do think it is likely that they stretch and waive him, it would only cost about $833,333 for the next three seasons.
That would put the Spurs around $113 million if my math is close.
