It will be fair compe ion and next year Lonnie probably doesn't out compete Belinelli. Mill/Belli are playing ridiculously well together. They are one of the top reasons we are doing well as of late (bench play).
Dude needs a ST nickname ASAP, tbh.

Gay's next contract is very interesting. When healthy and spry this guy is easily worth $15M. When not healthy and/or playing immobile he is a boarderline rotation player. He is getting up there in age now too. It would be hard to reward him with anything big per year. I can see a longterm budget friendly number like 3 yrs 18-20M but if he wants more then I think Spurs should let him walk. Metu is not ready so we really would need a PF in this upcoming free agency. If we can pull a bigger, mobile, stretch 4 playing these 3 gaurd line ups (Spurs have so many guards) would make a lot more sense too.
Nah Poeltls roll gravity & Bertans lighting the world on fire are the main reasons along with Forbes, DeMar, or Derrick doing what they do when one is staggered w the 2nd group. Mills/ Belinelli have been more inconsistent.
Ya I can see that. I would prefer White starting but then that's 3 guys handling the ball. Defensively it makes sense for him to start for SL, but offensively it might not. He actually would fit better with the bench. He can def play a 6th man role, but I feel like he should still get a lot of minutes, equal to DJ, Demar.
For obvious reasons, I'd be surprised if Murray-Forbes isn't the starting back court next season. As DAF86 alluded to, outside of SF, they'd essentially have players who can fill the same role (if play it differently stylistically) on both units. Basically, what they had from '12-'15, particularly in the back court.
I doubt they dump Belinelli (they gave him 2 years after drafting Walker and it's not like it wasn't known beforehand that he's a high ceiling prospect) and don't see them splurging on an SF because there's already 6 rotation players from 1-3 and that's not including Walker, who they'll more than likely want to play minutes whenever any one of those 6 can't.
Basically, Murray/White will fill the guard/wing defender role, unless it's a big wing that they physically can't handle. Then it'll fall to a combination of Gay and whoever fills the Cunningham role.
In an ideal scenario you move Mills and let Forbes play his role off the bench. Get a 3-and-D SF and play him with the starters in place of Forbes. Gay should be resigned for like 2 years 10-12 million per
Phathead or Thicchead.
Or the new HOTS?![]()
White Chocolate!
You are drastically underestimating Mills and Belli's leadership on that bench. Movement, rhythm, spacing has their footprints all over it. Poeltl and Bertans have the most physical gifts but they are the ones benefitting from Mills and Belli running these sets in near perfect precision.
4-Head
Winner.
Even better if you watch Twitch streams.

Mills & Belinelli have been helpful for sure, but their impact has been very spotty this year. Bertans & Poeltl have been more impactful. Stats & eye test agree with my notion.
I just checked the Think Tank.
I wanted Monte Morris.
I don't know why but I expect the color commentary to say "White Power" every time he scores a bucket
You suck.
Curious, why didn't you post this from your main account?![]()
Your mother sucks

Why didnt you?![]()
lol at hater and company trying to say White sucks for this game when the Spurs woud have probably won if the refs would have let him play.![]()
Not really. He’ll be fine. His early Foul trouble ruined our whole teams vibe.
