    Seriously, name the young players Pop has held back on this team. The ones that he hasn't played much and then have gone on to be good players elsewhere in the league. Especially since 2014 since you want to focus on that era. Can you name even one?
    Chump, Manny, Trailer Park....just need my man timvp now to chime in to say how Pop has never given preferential treatment to one of his guys over a more talented player and we can have a complete Pop Sucker Infinity Guantlet

    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.

    Or you know, Porky and Dejounte were each hurt those years.
    Why did Murray stay a starter when Parker was healthy?

    It was probably Tony's idea tbh.

    if you get under the cap, you lose access to the MLE
    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?

    Sure taking a long time for Bullock to re-do his deal. Maybe he isn't budging as much as the Knicks first thought

    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.

    This still a Morris bashing thread or did we move on to our own players again?

    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.

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.

    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

    Ok, If you did Beli + Forbes (8.72M) you could still take Morris salary from 10M to 13.7M
    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.
