He's an Izzo guy. He'll have heart playing D. I mean look at him now. He's not a great defender but he's scrappy and moves his feet pretty well. And i think other teams posting him up would be at our advantage since we have size on our side. Playing the 2 game is one of our strong suits imo. The more we make teams slow down an offense is tilting in our favor.

Simmons is needed because Spurs don't have athletic wings outside of Danny and Kawhi. He fills a need. That's plain and simple.

Forbes and Laprovitolla are liabilities in defense just like Parker and Mills.

Arci with 6 assists. He's very underrated. He kept feeding the hot hands.

With Forbes and Bertans on the court, you only need players who can look to setup other players. That's what Arci did, unfortunately Laprovitolla is so much better. Honestly, Spurs will need to cut someone and it could be a big.

The only thing that should be in the minds of PATFO is how to beat GSW. To do that, you need your own 3 point shooters and good passers.

Rumours spreading around that Laprovittola is heading to Europe, so I guess Forbes has a big chance of making the roster
Arci got waived (you probably know already) and will stay in Austin, I hope Garino does as well cause I like him and he might have a future on this team

Laprovitolla has De Colo level talent, I'm not surprised that he wants to play rather than be backup. But given the kind of money mediocre NBA players can make and given that he comes from this side of the hemisphere. We shall see if rumors are true.

Same as Simmons.
If you ask me i´d Cut Simmons and LJC and add Lapro, Forbes and Garino.
They´d be payed chips so if an interesting player is bought out you can cut any of those and make a spot.

Simmons doesn´t seem to be understanding what the team needs from him other than running in transition, and LJC might be one of the worst players an NBA team ever signed.

reminds me of Neal
with more quickness and hustle on D(better but not enough though)

What do you mean better but not enough? If he's better than Neal, then he should be in the NBA as Neal is an NBA level player.

Well I don't know about Garino. He still needs a year or so to be ready.

I want both Lapro and Forbes in the team. I don't know though who to cut.... shall we cut the first round draft pick? LJC? LJC is in a guaranteed contract. Thats $2.3m that he's guaranteed.

Shall we cut Simmons who did a decent job last season?

Pato was waived today.

[TheGreatYacht]

kaji157 (Spurs fan from Argentina) would keep Garino and Lapro..

I'm guessing there's no bias there

[TimDunkem]

lol anyone thinking Bryn Forbes is making the roster

Wrong again, re .
