Just cross out " quite likely" and I agree with everything you said.
Great to see you back timvp. Hope all is great on your end.
Pretty much, he just didn't really fit in any scenario for this team going forward especially if you consider his skill set. Not sure why some people here are surprised the Spurs didn't match.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.

Great perspective. The thing that makes this surprising to me is the fact that Kyle is the longest tenured Spur after Manu, Danny, Kawhi and Patty. Spurs "culture" is cracking; will Pop try to reconstruct it with (possibly) only Danny and Patty as conduits?Welp, bye Kyle. At least it goes down as another very good pick by the front office.

Gotta see who they are first.
You should get compensation (draft picks) for a team signing your RFA
Fantastic news
He was never assertive enough here. I wish him the best of luck in Memphis. He might be a better player there since there will be no pressure for him to perform at a high level.
A sign that the spurs are gonna sign Metu ?
You're gonna sign up to a Grizzlies forum soon, tbh?
Hopefully his insufferable fluffers follow him to Memphis, tbh
When the owners are fathead flufflers.
What would you say about the rest of the guys that had a lackluster performance?
Lol theres already a memphisgirl account in the grizz forums
Come on, the kid was a 3 year failed project. It's not about a series. He eventually got the playing time and role, and he made zero difference. $10m/year for a benchwarmer/minute burner makes no sense.
Time for the next project on a rookie deal.
The problem with Kyle.is.that he is.too.young. if he were 35 spurs wouldn't.blink. ah well.crazy pafto. We'll.see.you.again.in 2023
Preach!!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.
It's a hot day here in LA but hearing that it's official...
Of the 30 players taken after Anderson in the draft there was one, Nokic, who’s had more success and Nokic was s fat slob at the time of the draft. There are several players taken earlier than Anderson that have busted out of the league, are hanging on by a fingernail or have signed awith worse contracts.
Lesson to be learned? Lot of stupid posters on Spurs talk.
What were.you.expecting from.him that you.call.him.a.failed project? The team.is.a.failed.project!
Move your ing thumb more down and you can space instead of put a period.
If he wasn't a failure the FO would of kept him.. Lol
I need jokes like this.
I am sad.
Your entire statement there is sad and got me sad M4tres.
In typical Spurstalk fashion, they watch the disintegration of the Spurs but can't stop trolling.
Grizzlies overpaying for more non-needle moving roleplayers just because.
After all of this overpaying they still won't even make the playoffs.
