Would have been a really nice deal. Too bad Vlade screwed PATFO over.

So frustrating. I knew it immediately that it went from a good deal to a no win deal. Sucks. But either way he’s balling

Well ya dude, losing Kawhi sucks and any team would take a blow. But, you can already see what SA is doing. They have Lonnie, White, Murray so they are building on the fly with youth around LMA.

All the other deals besides the young guys are 1 or 2 year. They project to have some serious cap space next year even if they don’t trade Mills.

I don’t know any team that could lose a Kawhi level player and still be more than a 8th to 10th seed. , OKC lost KD and still had Russ/PG and they weren’t any better and their cap situation, like HOU’s, is absolutely horrific.

People really need to do a reality check (not just you). I mean, I get it, this is a tough time, but SA was still a WCF when Kawhi wasn’t a b*tch and are in such a better spot than nearly every other team despite losing their superstar out of no where.

They actually already have some promising youth despite winning so much (HOU has none, NO has none, OKC has some), they are in a great spot cap wise moving forward to adjust/rebuild (HOU and OKC are totally boned, GS is boned) and they still have a chance to get some additional assets for Kawhi.

It’s not ideal but I honestly have no idea how people can be upset with SA overall. They aren’t perfect but if you compare them to damn near everyone else they look a of a lot more competent IMO.

Pau/Mills sucked and were bad decisions but even those were born out of loyalty and opportunity trying to win big for Kawhi/Lma. They came up empty while still adding youth and being really good, but even their bad (which to me, Pau/Mills are the only LEGIT gripes) was due to them trying to take the big swings that all of us asked them to do.

Kevin Durant and CP3? SMDayumHead, Spurs never had a snowball's chanced of signing either one of them. CP3 never gave them the time of day and Durant had all but eliminated the Spurs before the offseason began. The so called franchise player couldn't even extend a phone call to CP3 and didn't even show up for the Durant meeting.

Now if you're talking about the big swing for Iggy... Yeah, that was gut punch (not for me) but a very predictable outcome.

What deal are you talking about? I'm guessing old not current.

[DPG21920]

What deal are you talking about? I'm guessing old not current.

Original reported deal was 20M for 4 years. Then SAC made an offer and SA had to shift to more annually and shorter.

... The deal reported in the OP

[sasaint]

Oh, thanks guys. I just don't want to miss any news...

[spurraider21]

as a guy playing 20+ minutes per game off the bench and being a 6'10 sharpshooter, he's adequately priced with his current deal. would have been a bargain at 4/20

i'm glad pop finally decided to let the guy play consistent minutes

Folks were actually ing about locking Bertans for 4 years at 5 millions per.

[lmbebo]

Guess David Griffin tried hard to trade the Spurs for him when he was the GM in cleveland.

Funny reading some of the stuff in here. He had to grow a bit and he has so far. More than just a shooter. Made more sense having him than Anderson (if that was ever a decision) , I'm glad they locked him up

[Mr. Body]

I thought he was a lost cause. Dude has totally proven me wrong. Kudos to him.

You are only one of few dudes will admit when they were wrong.....respect!

[TheGreatYacht]

Not sure why this is bumped today of all days lol

[kjhip1]

I’m impressed with his ability to move his feet on D and not back down

[BillMc]

Dude is mentally tough (as I've always said). Lost a finger, two major knee injuries, still a solid rotational player in the NBA.

[spurraider21]

because he played well

lol box score fans

The growth on this team is just contagious, like everybody has a chip on his shoulder. Every single player...

Yep. watching Bryn, Davis, Jakob, and especially White improve is really a joy to behold. And the growing synergy they have with DeMar and LMA is really impressive.

Cancer is gone I guess.. no seriously Spurs genuinely look like they're enjoying playing together, and winning. LMA beasting it low, no qualms on who's scoring. Tbh Demar is setting a good example distributing, rebounding and just making good plays instead of just scoring. It's fun rooting for these guys when everybody pretty much already crossed them out.

100% agree

If he somehow turns into a greater passer because of his gravity, that'd be nuts.

I just like how Bertans meet Griffin in the air. He truly gives no s.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Manu and Parker leaving has let the young guns step up. Nice to see. He and Forbes are looking better and better. Glad to be proven wrong on those two.

Bertans is an underrated passer, tbh.

I know I have said this of him many times: underrated passer, underrated defender, etc. But it's just that I have seen him from before getting to the NBA and I know that some of the things he's starting to display aren't flukes.

Dude is a complete baller, he just needed minutes and confidence to show it. I still think he has a lot more to show at the NBA level. Like I said before, if Pop started to draw and call some plays for him to come out of screens, he could unlock his true potential.
