Nah, Anderson. My gf talks to different people all day everyday, and what she got from him was he is dumb as
Every point she makes is "he has the skills to contribute once he gets more confidence and developes.... yada yada... ." But it's completely opposite to anything he has shown on an NBA floor. He has shown no promise.He is not even good for being 22. Some people are just blind homers I guess.Let them make they're point man. Reserve the jokes for other as such.
How can someone be dumb with a basketball sized head?
He hasn't looked it from interviews I have seen of him TBH. Leonard is more awkward and slow TBH. Also called by Pop a very smart player. lol
Finances have nothing to do with basketball, so yea, thanks for that little story but not buying it.
PTR's next article: Why Tony Parker is fat.
Always late per par.
Nah Tony played well last game.
The next hot takes are probably David West and Danny Green if he continues. Danny is sufficiently established in the rotation that his spot is not in danger, but he wasn't very good last game either, and guess what? He plays a much more significant role than Anderson and you need him more to play well.
From there on, you can really criticize everyone and TBH a whole lot of other players 1-9 have more of an impact than Kyle, so if our championship aspirations rest on Kyle, all I have to say is:
Then maybe Pop shouldn't have made him the backup 3 in just his second full season. Just maybe he should be in Austin where he can learn, develop and improve his craft so that he one day can become that competent backup wing the Spurs have been longing for. Though it's only been 4 games, he's been bad in limited minutes. That's reason enough to limit his playing time. Maybe it's something behind the scenes like practice that's hampering his court time. For Pop, if a player is not succeeding in practice, it's a good bet his playing time on the court will be short and sweet, if at all. I also haven't seen the in-game tongue lashings with KA that Pop openly doles out to teammates Danny Green and Tony Parker from time to time. It's anybody's guess as to why Pop isn't playing KA but it's a good bet that it has something to do with performance.
It's also interesting you bring up the trade deadline. Who the on this roster would you consider a tradeable asset? Keep in mind they're over the cap so they can't claim anyone off waivers to my knowledge.
He did give him a tongue lashing for screwing up the hammer play. But other than that, he has rarely played, and neither has David West. At this point Pop shortening the rotation has more to do with the other 8 having been playing games full of mistakes of their own, and frankly making messes of their own, except for Kawhi who has been exceptional. Pop needs to get these guys playing well, then he can figure out who he's going to weed in for backup minutes. David West and Kyle, but also even Boban and Butler. Its a young season and there have been too many changes in roles and big changes in personnel and guys were not playing well.
Eh, sometimes teams who aren't going to make the playoffs dump players mid season. Trade-able.... Anderson, any prospect, Mills if Ray Mac develops.... Bonner is an expiring contract (although its only 1.5 million). I just hope we can rent someone that just doesn't fit on whatever team.
Belli, Splitter, CoJo all getting paid...
We cant compare them on their current salaries to what we had with them last year. We got great value out of them and they all contributed
At this rate KA will end up back in Austin, he's just been given a chance to earn a role as a 4th wing and doing miserably right now. Don't see much of a problem.
As for the tradeable assets, there really aren't any, are there? Don't think the FO expected there'd be a need for a significant mid-season trade, but at the moment there are 2 glaring issues - 4th wing and the Diaw-West combo. Hopefully they'll work something out during the season, because if they need a significant trade they'd have to put Boris and Patty on the block.
I don't think anything you can get will replace what Boris and Patty give the team, who basically will carry the bench when Manu is resting. It is more likely that you can live with 10 minutes of Anderson and West, than give up Boris and Patty for someone who you know is not going to play much considering how Pop is with his sets and system and chemistry and gelling and all of that. Besides West chose to come here, Anderson is a player being developed. Austin his destiny may be but I think from now on is the tough road for him. He has already dominated D'league and Summer league. We will live with 10 minutes from him or he will be benched. That is why Butler and Ray are here too, so no need to panic.
Our wing depth is lacking is because Green hasn't turned up yet. The guy should be giving us low 30mins of good production and he isn't.
I can't speak about what happened at the bank, of course, but in the interviews I've seen Kyle has come across as sharp enough. The issues are 1) is he too much of a defensive liability and 2) is he of any use if he's not the primary play maker. Both those are still up for debate. SAGirl has a good point that he's not had much time on the court (in the regular season), but Pop surely sees him in practice. Also, with the mistakes others are making getting acclimated we haven't had the luxury of playing players who might not be productive. The fact that they picked up KA's contract is a good sign and some players develop slower (Corey Joseph is a primary example.) That said, this is Kyle's second year and the clock is definitely ticking.
I don't think we need to make a trade, and as others have said, we'd never get equal value back. And the idea of trading either Boris or Patty, two extremely valuable bench players, on good contracts, isn't even an option. Boris is a unique talent and we're lucky to have him, and Patty is our only capable 3 point shooter at the moment (in a team that needs more 3 point shooting). Of course, Green will come out of his slump at some point, but right now its Patty and Manu.
I never read these PTC articles. I usually just read through the thread and find out what I already knew...there's a take on the other side of that link.
Yep. Very few sites where you can read quality NBA articles ( RIP Grantland)
Pop would be lying if he told him that.
I think pop is treating green well enough this year. Considering the need to finsih top 3 in the west, the spurs cant afford to have a cold green. Thankfully, manu playing great. Once he starts making his 3 his mintues will go back to 30. The spurs typically start resting the big 3 more midseason to late..danny should get more minutes then
Anyways, I've never been a fan of Anderson's game, but writing him off after a week is pretty ridiculous..not surprising coming from such a terrible source, though..
I find it hard to believe someone who chooses to sleep with you is a good judge of character.
Aww don't get asshurt because your precious Kyle Anderson is a bona fide moron
And what if he was playing dumb to spend more time with your gf? NBA player, millionaire; you know, some of them feel powerful and think they can pull off everything.
