yikes13 mil over the cap with 27 mil going to patty/pau and paying 16 to gay/marco
Too bad PATFO learned the lesson so late (if they have).
I was kinda thinking that if PATFO definitely knew Kawhi was gone it made sense to re-sign Kyle - UNLESS they knew they were replenishing the frontcourt in the Kawhi trade.
yikes
I also believe Anderson lacklustre playoffs performance vs the Warriors did him in. Spurs would have matched if he had a decent series and gave them something to look for in the future.
Sometimes the last impression carries the day when making these type of decisions.

Spurscap is ing awful
Surprised the Spurs didn't match, really. It's a reasonable deal for a player of Kyle's caliber, especially considering his age. He never really panned out to his "potential"...but he has been a good glue guy.
This is just another signal that the Spurs are getting ready for a potential rebuild. Flexibility will be key going forward, and locking down a low-to-middle tier player over four years hurts that, even if it is not a huge contract.
Sounds like he will get a potential starting spot in Memphis, so I wish him the best of luck!
If the Spurs were planning on competing, they would have matched. But they don’t think he’d be worth 3 / $28 a year from now and would rather take their chances with a min guy.
Four years in the system and he turned out to be mediocre. No need to extend that. Just try again.
And have the Spurs been wrong on letting anyone walk in recent years? Maybe with CoJo, but he’s a solid backup PG at best. Boban got overpaid, and Baynes only shined once he had the right matchups in the Philly series. Simmons = yuck (one of worst rotations guys this past year in his late 20s)
The Patty and Pau deals were two first class tickets for a one way trip to the demise of the Kawhi/LMA post TD era.
After those two deals, the only hope to improve around the Kawhi/LMA core was to bank on the young draft picks who were buried beneath Tony, Patty, Manu, Green. It wasn't happening after those two deals.
Patty was a 4 year I believe. But he was coming off a very reasonable 3/12 mill deal in 2014.
Totally Agree with you..
But now that the city of memphis has picked up the trash, the spurs FO can continue cleaning up the rest of the house.
3 more years of Mills for $37 million.
Where is SAGirl? maybe she joined the grizzlies message board and forgot about SA at all.
MEMGirl now.
REALLY hope we can offload him with Kawhi. Don't see it happening though.3 more years of Mills for $37 million.
Best of luck to Kyle, and I hope this isn't a screw up by the PATFO (although I think it is).
Good luck to ‘The Gift From UCLA’. Good teammate. Will be fun watching him go up against Kawhi someplace, sometime, somewhere when uncle dennis gives kiwi the nod.
Welp, bye Kyle. At least it goes down as another very good pick by the front office. Most players picked at the end of the first round never see a second contract. Not only did KA get a second contract, he got a pretty damn nice one. Well done, FO ... and congrats Kyle
Given Kyle's poor fit next to Murray and what we know about trade packages for nephew, I make the same call. Just can't match on a four-year contract for a role player that doesn't move the needle much in any likely scenario. Nephew comes back? Kyle's minutes get slashed. Nephew gets traded for Ingram, Covington, etc? Kyle's minutes get slashed. Spurs go to a full rebuild? Kyle's upside probably isn't high enough to invest big minutes.
Solid player but the fit just isn't there. If this were any point between 1998 and 2014, you probably match an MLE offer sheet for an average to slightly above average player. In 2018? Eh, I can't make a compelling case why you would.
People in here acting like he's Simmons
He's a scrub. His 8 points and 2 assists won't be missed. He will miss Pop's defensive system though. Expect his defensive metrics to drop like Dedmon's did.
Tbh, it does kinda suck that of the contracts given to Mills, Gasol, KA and Simmons, the Spurs went with quite likely the two worst contracts. But a third wrong wouldn't have made a right, I guess.
Anderson sucked in the playoffs. Wasn’t worth keeping at that pricetag. While people here continue to curl up in the fetal position being submissive and all, this move doesn’t signal other than they aren’t overpaying for somebody who can’t step up in the playoffs.
Best of luck to him.
Really happy for him. I remain as ever a Spurfan so it was bittersweet to learn about this but I do wish him the best.
Let's see what the next round of Spurs have in stock.
MVPatty has been our best PG for years now. And we don't beat the rockets without Pau. And we were up vs the warriors when Kawhi went down. You don't with the lineup that got you there. Those were all the right ing moves you dummy.
They also picked the wrong big 3 member to keep around, named the wrong young point guard the starter, signed the wrong Paul with the jersey #3, etc
R.C man. His career ended when Duncan's did.
