Lonnie needs minutes. I honestly don't give that much of a about Morris coming or reneging. Whatever ends up with Lonnie getting more minutes, that's what I'm for tbh.
Tbf neither White or Murray had to deal with the logjam that currently exists at guard. Not to mention they both benefited from injuries (Tony in 17-18, Murray himself in 18-19). I think it's completely reasonable to be worried about Forbes+Wombat seeing minutes before Lonnie. I mean Pop closed the last 20 mins of a Game 7 with Patty instead of the clearly superior White ffs.
Why did Murray stay a starter when Parker was healthy?
Don’t forget Marcus Bryant
It was probably Tony's idea tbh.![]()
I know that. I'm saying the MLE is what, like $9.3mill per right? I'm asking if the Spurs can realistically get under the cap an amount that would be larger than that $9.3mill?
Explain this theory.
Sure taking a long time for Bullock to re-do his deal. Maybe he isn't budging as much as the Knicks first thought
Are you forgetting that White was ing awful that game?

None of ya'll can name a single player that Pop didn't play that went on to play well elsewhere yet your worried that he's somehow going to keep a ing all star Lonnie on the bench because of Bryn Forbes and Patty Mills when all of Pops history says otherwise. When I bring up Pops early career, y'all say that Pop hasn't done that lately and when I point out Pops recent history y'all make ing excuses.
Its fine to complain when Pop actually s up, but this ain't it and doing so just sounds ing stupid and gets old. Just make sure your critiques are based on reality. If that makes me a "Pop sucker" then I'm ok with that. Jesus ing christ man.
You're not suckering me into one of your 5 page back and forths, you old .
I'm not in the business of changing Pop Suckers' minds, just here to enjoy the annual "there's nothing Pop could have done differently" regurgitation.
TBH Mugen dodges questions the way Morris dodges physicals.
You got called out.
You're backing down.
Good boy.
This still a Morris bashing thread or did we move on to our own players again?
Its ok to just admit when you're wrong. Its just Spurstalk. You won't die dude.
Are you forgetting that Wombat shot 20% for the series, including 10% from 3? And that he's a turnstyle on defense? And that he didn't do those last 20 mins of Game 7 either?
Yeah, White was sucking it up that Game 7 (just like the rest of the team outside Gay+Forbes IIRC) but he was still easily the better option.
How many pages will this go. is this what we as fans come to now players are players and idiots for the most part front office knows what they are doing look at the draft and look how they set us up for success every year. we do not need aging screw up i mean come on use yalls heads a little here. Be great-full we are not any other big market team that has dumb front office ie lakers knicks or anyone else. We are very lucky to have a great organization and team.
I mean it was honestly a wash. White provides better defense, Mills provides better shooting. They both sucked that night. I don't think Pop playing Mills is the reason they lost that game, but if you go by the season Pop started White, not Mills. Pointing to one game, even a game 7, is just ONE game.
And actually, the Spurs massively cut into the lead when Mills came into the 2nd half. I'm not even sure why this is a negative.
Lonnie will get his shot but if you want to value that one game 7 over 20 years of Pop's history with young players then thats on you.
200 now that we're not actually talking about Morris anymore.
because Parker told Pop to start Murray. Otherwise Pop would've kept starting Parker
i do because it cost us bertans for no reason. even if you werent a big fan of him, he still had value, and at the very least could have been a trade chip. 7 mil expiring deal who can also help a team on the floor. if we dont get morris we basically ed ourselves during the season where GS/Hou are vulnerable
That still s on your theory.![]()
I knew you'd say that, but Forbes is probably close to what I said about Mills, at least in this current context.
Once DeRozan is gone or they find a starting 3 or 4 that's a knockdown shooter, the calculus changes. In the absence of that, Forbes' 3-point shooting is needed with the starters and as a sometimes closer.
