With these recent picks, if the goal is to be more athletic, he would no longer fit with the team. He'll never be the Bobo 2.0 people thought he'd be, tbh.
I love seeing him play, but he's too slow for today's NBA. His play style also clashes, we can't run as much with him on the floor. I think speed is his biggest detriment. If he learns how to play fast, he's worth keeping, but if he's slow and still reluctant to shoot, we're better off exploring other options.

Yep, and if we lock him down long term for cheap (<30 Million for 4 years, ie less than the MLE), it will be a good deal.
He's on the verge of his break out season. Must keep him at all costs.
Kyle is a glue guy. Doesn't really hurt you. Although he would benefit shooting faster and better. He is a great defender. Plays 2 positions. And will guard big sf's confidently. His numbers are low and we should retain him for cheap. Warren is earning 12.5mil a year. Kyle is better overall. Give him 30mil over 4 years. He might take that.
Who is that?
off. "Glue guy" aka guy with a well known limited ceiling who's going to to be taking money and a roster spot where the Spurs could gamble on another prospect.
Are spurs a gambling type? Guys like Kyle make long careers. Battier, Ariza, Bowen, Crowder, Prince, Sefolosha, Andre Roberson etc. Kyle is already one of the better small forward defenders in the league. You tire him up on a good contract. If you want to gamble, there are plenty of Bazemore, Warren, and Beasley players out there.
The gift from UCLA will stay for the time being. Has anybody here watched Blossongame recently?
Don't care if we keep him or not; just don't saddle the team with a Patty Mills or Pau type of contract.
80% of those guys are just better basketball players than Kyle Anderson (and I'm being respectful of that because I like the guy)
Sure, when comparing their prime. Some of those guys took 4 plus years until they hit their stride. That's where Kyle is now. Bowen, for example, didn't even start until his 5th season and was regarded as one of the best defenders in the league for many years. Kyle Anderson needed work, he still needs to develop his manhood and gain some muscle. That will take time. But there are things he does out there that cannot be taught. It's just natural. He positions well on defense. Rotates well. Picks players pockets without getting out of position often. Knows how not to foul. Times his rebounds well. Has wonderful balance and shot fakes. He gains muscles and develops a corner 3, that's it, he is a starter for the next 8 years.
The Spurs don't necessarily need someone better, especially if it's going to cost them too much and hurt them in other areas. And Kyle tends to see a lot of bench come the playoffs anyways.
kyle is a pg not a sf please play him at his natural position he is being misused.............kyle= should be playing ben simmons role
He's more of a 4 but can play the 3. Really good defender and rebounder with the ability to handle and pass but his lack of shooting hurts his wallet.
I could see him not getting an offer in RFA and the Spurs locking him up on a cheap deal that he should outperform; 3 or 4 years, $7 million per season.
That's how I feel. It is hard to get passionate about Kyle. He made nice strides last season in building confidence. If he comes back, I hope that he begins to show some of that confidence in his shooting, but I ain't holding my breath.
Rhetorical question I trust.
Lol hes pretty terrible. Its actually players like kyle that remind me how much better than nba players i am at 63
Bwahahhahahahahahha
I'd say sign him long term, he shouldn't cost __too much__
If we lose Gay and Kawhi, then he's our only SF. And he is a SF, just one that can't shoot. But he can guard SFs.
So spurs will have a pg sg sf and c who cant score? Sounds like a great idea
If we lose Kawhi, we'd probably be getting Brandon Ingram back and he's a pretty good SF.
It's not optimal, unless you are gunning for the lottery. But Spurs will be late lottery next year without Kawhi and depending on what LMA does and how motivated he is.
Kyle does the little things that are always overlooked. He knows what he can and can't do and what he has to work on. I would expect him to resign, because the offers won't be there due to his lack of athleticism and the view he is a "spur System" player. I think 3 years/16 Million.
