Yep. But he was a key piece of a 47 win team that got bounced in the 1st round so he has to be starter-level, right?
Forbes playing extended minutes is fine as long as it isn't with any combination of him, Mills, and Belli...Forbes has shown he can play with anyone, a knock down shooter, pesky defender, and not afraid of the moment. Sounds just like a young Patty. Wonder where he learned all this from? Criticize all you want but Spurs PATFO did wonders with Forbes.

He reminds me of a Courtney Lee. Courtney Lee went to the finals as a starter (Orlando Magic). He can't carry you alone but he can win you games and score in bunches at a time like Patty. He will be a great compliment to DD, Murray, White, and Walker. Not to mention he has gotten significantly better every year and is still pretty young.
Man this sucks. The forum was almost universally happy when Morris was announced to sign with the Spurs. Roster looked deep and people were generally optimistic and couldn't say anything bad about the front office.
But after what happened now all the trolls are loaded with to say for the rest of the season. Was nice for the day or two when everyone was excited on this forum...
I don't have nothing against Forbes but it would be better if he comes off the bench, since he can't guard anybody. It would be much better having DeRozan slide to SG and Play 2 3-and-D Forwards. Not to mention Forbes being a starter will make it a lot more difficult to resign him

I know this sentence begins with "you would need to trade Patty", so it 99% isn't happening. But if the Heat are in talks to try and trade for CP3 with OKC, the Spurs could get in on that deal to get a chance at trading for PF Johnson or SF Winslow. Pop traded a guard he loved for a forward to get KL. Because of the Morris fiasco you're going to have to do it again to give this franchise a shot in the West. Because you still need that starting forward to pair with Rudy in SL. Plus a Patty trade gives Lonnie more minutes, puts White in charge of the second unit as unquestioned leader. You would have options of White, Forbes, Lonnie, Carol, Lyles, Belli (KJ if Belli traded) and Poertl coming off your bench.
Miami will need Dragic, Waiters, and either Johnson or Winslow to make the money work. They will need a back up PG that Patty could fill. If you trade for Johnson - it's Patty and Belli, Winslow - is Patty and Metu with 2020 first Rd pick to Heat. Winslow has a third year on his contract but the third year in the 2021 off season is a team option, not player. The Spurs still have a chance to do a deal for a forward they can use like they wanted to use in Morris. Plus they would potentially be working with people that are at least professional, unlike Morris. But Pop seriously needs to ask himself if he really wants to win again or not. Because we have younger more versatile guards now that need any minutes Patty would use this season. We need that forward to compete in the West and Miami has two of them.

He was great with New Orleans and Dallas’ 2011 Championship. He’s done tbh.
would you trade IB for Detroit's Bruce Brown?
both same type player with similar style and skill set, but i'm thinking i prefer Brown as he has stronger frame, although he doesn't have the same hype(Spurs surely know how to hype their players) and he isn't talk about much, being a second rounder, i think he's gonna ends up the better one!

Looks like he has been on the spurs radar as im seeing a few articles from 2018 saying spurs were interested. Everything seems to lists him as a shooting guard though at 6'4" 219 lbs.
think he can guard 1-3 though, crazy athleticism
Ugh no more midget SGs.
Why is our name in almost every trade report? And yeah no more midgets
supposedly Heat are working out a trade for CP3. dont know how legit this page is tho, probably not at all
would be if the Spurs could get in on this somehow
My guess is the player is Johnson at $15 million because Olynk and Waiters combined are around $25 million. You'd have to ship Patty 1) with Belli - you could get a $2 million sweetener player in return 2) with Forbes - the money is perfect. Attach the 2020 1st Rd pick but only that if needed.
You could have :
Murray - DD - RG - Johnson - LMA
White - Lonnie - Carrol - Lyles/Luka - JP
QW - KJ - Ben Moore - Metu - Eubanks
Insert Forbes or Belli, whichever isn't apart of the deal.

fun to dream...
miami gets: Paul, Mills, Marco
OKC gets: Dragic, Johnson, Olynyk, Forbes
spurs get: Adams
You think Pop is going to give up all three of his pets in a trade?
You really are dreaming.
Nope. Hence the dream comment
Can’t believe every internet hero with a twitter account, but what is true is that the combo of players a hard capped Heat team can send out is pretty limited AND every scenario involves OKC taking money beyond this year.
The only one that doesn’t is a package where Dragic goes back to OKC and the other part goes to a 3rd team.
There are rumors the Rockets are trying to s&t Iman Shumpert to get Andre Iguodala.
I know it’s very early, but boy is next offseason going to be huge for the franchise.
They can go anywhere from Reupping the current group to having space to throw a lot of money at a Jaylen Brown type. And everything in between.
Iggy is a good fit for the Clippers. Rockets will play him way to many minutes.
Miami would be stupid as to trade for CP3. If he doesn't get bought out he is staying with Thunder.
Thunder arent interested in heats offer
I think it's the other way around. Heat don't want that ridiculous contract.
