Shams: Spurs Finalizing Deal to Re-Sign Bryn Forbes

[tholdren]

How would it work?

It won't.

It's even worse roster construction than last year.

No bigs on the bench, no more Anderson, a dozen small guards ...

Lol it doesnt matter about positions anymore. Those were gone in 2012

[tholdren]

Our only short players are MVPatty and Forbes you dumb .

Everyone else is good size for their position.

The problem is that if they don't balance the roster out, folks will be playing out of position, like it happened last season. You dumb .

So now move the goalpost.

got.

The imbalance is due to Kawhi you dumb . Not the roster.

[dabom]

What ing goal post move are you gonna do now got.

Probably a fathead fluffier.

They have not squandered. RANDLE gave us 4 years and we let him go because we only doing one year deals. I already outlined why the Russell trade was smart.. BALL and Ingram are still on the team. But whatever. You can pretend Lakers haven't made great moves... We will see. These wasted picks swept the Spurs last year and now have LeBron in Randle's place...

You realize you could have just signed Randle to a one year deal for the amount he’s getting for two years, right? You had his Bird rights and could have completed many of the other crappy moves while keeping his cap hold on the books.

But Sketchy Bizzaro Rob Lowe and Magic aren’t smart enough to realize that. You squandered him (zero playoff games) and Russell for nothing. Absolutely nothing. Mozgov and Deng make Patty and Pau look like executive of the year work. I realize they were the previous regime but still.

Explain what the goalpost move is got.

Having 9 guards means there aren't enough players at other positions. And when you don't have enough players at other positions, chances are folks will play out of position.

And no, one guy doesn't change that dynamic. Counting Kawhi, the Spurs are still light on long wings and bigmen, and overloaded at undersized guards.

I was talking about their height with you. Not some other bull .

You didn't reply to my statement. You went on a tangent.

I'm going to sleep brah. Take this .

Wrong as usual, dumbass.

So, I did some thinking while reading through the thread debating whether or not Spurs should match, and I came to the conclusion that they shouldn't for two basic reasons:

-Bad fit with Murray: suppossedly, Murray is the PG of the future for the Spurs. Do you really want to commit 40 mils for the next 4 seasons to a guy that doesn't fit your future PG?

-The Spurs are getting at least a SF in a potential Kawhi trade: Whether it is Ingram and Kuzma, Covington and Saric or Tobías Harris, the Spurs are definitely getting forwards, so this apparently huge void they have at that position isn't really there.

I actually like Kyle, but it doesn't make sense to match, imho.

And if you wanna bet 100 on it we can.

you never ever keep your word “K-Y”

I already explained Randle gotta repair that team/agent relationship... Something your team is struggling with right now, tbh.

[Dingle Barry]

Covington is a better player, including being a much better shooter. According to reports, PATFO wants both him and Saric in return for Kawhi.

Robert Covington? The career 40% fg shooter?

Metu and/or Milutinov

[offset formation]

OK, but pay cheap on a position of need. Don't add a 9th guard to a 15 spots roster.

Yeah, that's right, the Spurs have 9 guards under contract. 7 of them are 6'5" or shorter.

How'd that 'pay cheap' work out for us on the bigs last year?

You do realize that at this point anything the Spurs "pay" will be "cheap", right? They have no more money to spend. I just wanted that little money they had to spend to be spent on positions that we actually need, instead of yet another undersized guards.

Well aware. And yes, that was my point. We paid cheap on Joffrey and that was not a productive position.

So my overall point in rebuttal is the following: might as well pay Forbes on a cheap ass contract seeing as he was our most efficient 3pt shooter and considering he might just get better.

Otherwise, I'd rather pay our in-house bigs, Metu and Milutinov. They'll both be cheap, too. And will be far more athletic than the recently departed Lavergne.

Well, the Spurs won't be able to sign both Metu and Milutinov now that they signed yet another guard to take up a roster spot. That was my entire point.

Thus why I said and/or in my first post on the matter. If Mills or other players get moved aps part of the Kawhi trade, perhaps a couple spots open up. Plus we dont know Paul's, Manu's or Kawhi's status.

[objective]

Metu and/or Milutinov

Metu as a skinny rookie will be even less useful than Joffrey. Bertans is a muscle monster compared to him.

As a big Milutinov fan, I don't think it's happening this year. I think it would have happened by now, but Marco's leftovers from the MLE probably isn't enough.

What's left? Like 3M, right? About what he's making overseas now. Might be enough, along with the chance to play NBA minutes, to get him over here.

Edit: his caphold is only 1.47M
BAE is 3.38M
MLE is 2.76M partially used on Marco

[offset formation]

Btw, does his 1M buyout count against the MLE? No, right?

[DAF86]

Thus why I said and/or in my first post on the matter.

We probably won't sign either, now that we locked up 9 rosters spots on guards. Milutinov is probably too expensive, and Metu isn't an answer as neither 3rd center, nor SF. If we wouldn't have given this contract to Forbes we could have given us the luxury of signing Metu as a 15th guy. Now we have to use those last spots we have to adress serious needs.

f Mills or other players get moved aps part of the Kawhi trade, perhaps a couple spots open up. Plus we dont know Paul's, Manu's or Kawhi's status.

You don't overload a position, seeing if maybe you can make some trades down the road and balance the roster up. You sign the guys that you need to sign to cover all the positions so that then you can trade freely without thinking "well, we can't get yet another guard on a trade" or "we can't trade away Gasol, because we have no other ing center on the roster".

[cutewizard]

With Bellinelli, White, Bertans and Forbes.......

Spurs loadiing them up some deadly shooters!!!

Woooooooooooooooooooooo!

[TimDunkem]

^Forbes is not a deadly shooter.
