What's up with Bertans?

[BillMc]

The "Who do you keep? Kyle, Davis or Forbes" question continues. As SAGirl and others have said, you can't keep shedding young (or relatively young) players. All three are RFAs, I'd be shocked if the Spurs manage to retain all 3. Davis still is the most likely to go, which would be a real shame.

1- Davis
2- Kyle

Kyle is an actual RFA and most likely to be retained. Bertans is the clear second, imo, with Forbes coming in at a distant third. Even with Gay probably being retained, Kyle and Davis should be higher priorities.

Officially leading the team in 3pt % (51-120, 42.5 %)

The way I see Cavs or GS sign their players to stay on top, I'd stop watching the Spurs if Davis or Anderson walks an the Spurs let them.

Spurs would rather pay money for the past & pay 50 million for culture alone more than preserving money or paying money for the future.

Don't be surprised if they let Forbes & Kyle or Bertans go, so they can give Parker his 30 Mil 2 +1 deal.

And don't be surprised to see posters like Chinook, FkLA, and others to support it because it's "good value" compared to what FAs got paid in summer of 2016.

Bertans is a great shooter. If he'd show more in more important games against better compe ion, there wouldn't be any questions about his relative value. Hitting 6 3s against a GS or Thunder would seriously cement his value IMO.

It was true and the fact that you're questioning it without having any knowledge of it is further proof of you being argumentative. No, the point was and is, it was their natural position. Then the game evolved and they, like many, moved up a position. End of story.

Nah, you rarely respond when I quote you, clearly trying to avoid a potential back and forth; the type I otherwise see you repeatedly flood the board with. Yeah, I do tend to post in the realistic, non blind faith threads.

I'm not questioning it so much as dismissing it. Who cares? They have been drafted years in the past. Nevermind that you were using the "natural SF" argument to say that Young wouldn't have been part of the Spurs' big rotation had he been acquired. Draft position doesn't give some superseding natural order to a discussion about where a player fits on a roster.

First, you're saying that I am not inclined to discuss in general because I don't respond as much to you as you'd like. That sounds way too ceds-y for my taste. Sometimes things are worth discussing and sometimes they aren't. You don't even respond to people individually a lot of the time. You just mass quote a bunch of people and either go line by line or give the same reply to each. Don't see why you think everyone should pick through your mass post for things to reply to when you can't even type separate them for convenience.

And you're "realistic" in the same way Darius Bieber is.

Why is Forbes name even coming up as us wanting to keep him. They need to ship him and Mills and get guys who can defend and just play ball they both suck so bad as many people say “Net Negative “

[dabom]

Nothing. We got Gay taking all the minutes and no garbage time this year.

Gay goes out and we get more Bertans. Always on point.

and hopefully when gay comes back we get less Anderson, Bertans needs those minutes.

Fathead should have never been drafted.

Forbes is legit IMO

[LittleCriminal]

Lol wtf

I get why he was drafted but what I don't get is why he was drafted in the 1st round.

[SAGirl]

If he truly becomes a difference maker in the playoffs I think they keep him. You don’t just luck into a difference maker and then let him go. If he’s not a difference maker then it becomes unpredictable.

[dabom]

The thing about Bertans that I like is that he can drive if someone closes out on him. That opens things up for the passing game.

[LittleCriminal]

I know some 1 on the roster who is not a diffrence maker...

Definitely more questioning than dismissing. As I recall, the debate was about their natural position; I stated it and you proceeded to get upset because someone had the gall to question you.

I don't care when or how much you respond to me (difficult as it might be to believe, posters on message boards aren't exactly important to me), I was just pointing out the irony. I do respond to people individually even if I do multi-quote frequently.

I'm far more realistic than you blind faith types.

Forbes is legit IMO

Yeah Legit On getting scored on his defense is terrible

Ginobili and Bertans are the only bench players who have really earned minutes with their play as of late. Patty/Forbes/Kyle can switch off with the rest of the minutes, bc Ginobili/Gay/Bertans need to be apart of the rotation.
