They going to give him that two year partial guarantee second year deal like Duncan, McDyess, Horry. Next year will probably be his last year.
Dudes been done for a few years outside of showing up for the Memphis series last year. Can’t blame him for playing out his 3/45 contract.
Fought back from what could have just just been called a career ended, beat timelines, had no issues ceding his starting role, never complained about diminishing minutes.
His time as a player here should be done though.
Yes gtfo please
That's basically what he already is...
He's going to be back on grandfather money for a limited role.
Look - I know sometimes we don't get why Manu and Parker are still around but this is the Spurs. The Spurs will keep those guys and rebuild with them on the team. It's very unique, really.
Look at what happened with the Heat. Only a few years back they owned the entire league and they crashed out last night and there are thoughts about blowing the whole thing up. Most teams nowadays operate in that way, creating super teams, winning for 2-3 years (or not) and then disappearing into oblivion. If you look at why you can see it's mostly directly related to the players and their contracts. This will also happen to GS very soon.
The Spurs play a long term game. After 20 years of sustained dominance it's hard for us fans to witness a bad season which it was honestly much better than what many other teams had.
Funny if Kawhi’s team says he will renew with the Spurs if Parker isn’t here for throwing that “my injury was 100 times worse” shade.
If Tony doesn't want to accept the vet min, he should go play for his team in France or something. appreciate all he's done but it's time to hang em up
Pau at this stage is the epitome of "going through the motions", "warming a chair", pro forma play.
Any positives on offense and boarding are offset by points yielded on defense and really bad passing TOs.
I’m actually of the belief that if another team offers him more money and a starting role, he bolts. He didn’t look happy at all this year coming off the bench, and even seemed to argue leaving the floor at times.
No he isn't... He backs up Murray, when it should be White backing up MurrayThat's basically what he already is...
Despite the fact that Tony is well-hated on SpursTalk, he's a valuable leader/mentor for the Spurs. He will probably sign a small contract and assume some kind of player-coach role... Unless Pop, Manu and Tony are riding into the retirement sunset together.
As long as that role doesn't involve being a rotation guy, sure, why not? Forcing him over guys like Derrick White would be a detriment to the team.
Wouldn't mind him at all in a management role with the org...
This is probably premature... you aren't out of the woods yet Nono.
I think he has to be aware that White sat out all season but that shouldn't be the same going forward. He might not mind a mentoring role. Considering roster turnover, youth of new guards, etc... I am sure Spurs would want him back. The issue is if he would be just fine with getting sat down and not playing. I don't think that he will want that.
I don't know which kind of deal he will get but it might be a 1 and 1 make good deal... basically Pop give him an opportunity in the summer to work out some more and see how he looks but with the understanding that if he doesn't look good others will play more minutes. It's tough to swallow. I have heard both Pop and Manu say that Pop is honest and doesn't mince words when it comes to telling it to you like it is. We shall see. I really don't know. He didn't really play well. A good showing from him in that last game last night and the spurs would have been able to pull out a win. But he doesn't have it no more.
You could tell he wasn’t happy this year he wanted more minutes but I think he knows deep down he is not the same player he once was.
That's some ty "appreciation" there mate...
No team in the NBA would offer him a starting job.
Some team will need it’s tank commander, where Tony would be happy to start and pad his stats.
Murray is a starter in todays nba.... give it up
Haha! You may have noted that I have never been one to criticize your takes on the level of "talent" in the NBA. Your point is well taken. Nonetheless, some perceive Murray to have upside while Tony's tank is close to empty.
Doesnt anyone new to the nba have upside?
As you like to note, that's all many ever have. Most are run out of the league with unrealized potential.
Cant the same be said for undrafted?
