sad they have to be on that drama the whole career
I don't believe the "be the man" rumor floating around. This is Kyrie getting ahead knowing LeBron is gone...It'll actually make it easier for LeBron to leave next year..that's why Melo is adamant on Houston and Kyrie is falling on the sword for LeBron..
Dan Gilbert has to be the worst owner of professional sports history. He's gonna lose LeBron TWICE and it possibly could've been avoided if he just hired Billups or paid Griffin..

I don't get people in about Kyrie's defense in the Spurs tbh. As if HoTS or Austin Rivers' son were some sort of Gary Payton in their respective primesOur system will help cover bunch of his defensive issues IMO.
I mean, this mother er can score 40+pts in the blink of an eye. Substantially decreasing those defensive liabilities he may have. What other PGs in this League can score at the same as Irving where his defense gonna be a big problem? Steph Curry? Yes, but not even CP3 can do much vs Steph these days. Kyrie won't be guarding Steph most of the time anyway. At the same time Kyrie makes other PGs/teams work hard on defense with his elite drives and finishes/kicks.
In other words, I prefer to have Irving with the ability to score in huge bursts than our current guards who are equally defensive liabilities and can't score at his level.
Yes. But hes still dumbI don't get people in about Kyrie's defense in the Spurs tbh. As if HoTS or Austin Rivers' son were some sort of Gary Payton in their respective primes

Satan approves Kyrie to the Spurs and will deliver the goods. Trust me, he always wins. Always.
What do you mean by that?

No . How many times have we ed about a lack of creating offense outside of Kawhi?
I mean the cavs... lebum... have so much drama it has solidified ceilings on careers.
Kyle's our numero uno and no one else.
Holy if this happens I immediately buy season tickets
Edit: quit my job, move to SA to live in a trailer on the east side and immediately buy season tickets
I don't care about Kyrie too much on the defensive end (I'm defense first and am still signing off on getting him here), as what he does on the offensive end far outweighs it for me. His ability to get to the rim and finish, or collapse the defense and kick it back out is huge. He also has elite handles along with his ability to score points quickly in big bunches, which also more than make up for his shortcomings on defense.
I can't believe anyone would turn him down due to defense when our PGs completely suck ass on defense and are nowhere near him on offense.
If Kyrie is making 22 million, then compared to him Patty Mills is worth about 4-6 million, yet Patty Mills is getting 12.5M and people don't want Kyrie for a few more dollars? His current contract is a steal in comparison to a lot of the other top PGs around the league. Spurs need to do everything they can to get him if the Spurs are indeed his number 1 choice.
Manu's influence all over the League tbh
True fan here.
Damn.Maybe if we send this pic to PATFO, they'll get serious about it.
Our roster is a mess. We have a bunch of guards and want to trade for one. Our biggest trade chip is one of our two only bigs. We have loyalty to Parker and we can't trade mills. Both of whom are PG's.
Spurs should not have signed Mills to that deal... if that caused Manu to finally retire so be it. He needed to retire anyways. Pops is in denial.
There were way more talented guards in the market even b4 this news... /sigh
It's going to be one of those things.... every thread is going to be a "bad Mills contract thread" ... they got him for 4 years too.
If and I mean IF he comes here, it could solve so many issues for the Spurs as well as having a proven veteran to give Leonard some time off of being the only player capable of doing anything on offense. I hope that the Spurs get him, but in order to be realistic, I have to bury that feeling. This could be monumental and easily put the Spurs up there with the Warriors even if they had to sacrifice Aldridge in order to do so. Come on PATFO!!! Don't let me down!!!
The problem is, the Spurs have poor assets. I don't think we have the assets to get it done.
Who has the assets to get it done IYO?
Damn, do want, but the Spurs just don't have that kind of luck, lol.
Mills actually works best off the ball... Kyrie somewhat helps out on that front... especially on out-of-timeout-drawn-up-plays where Patty or Danny would play the SG slot to space the floor for Kyrie's penetrations.
You needed more evidence that you didn't want Manu back...? (here it is)...
You cant replace what Manu brings to the table with what was available out there... EVEN at freaking 40.
I'm all for Manu playing 12 minutes a night, and taking several DNPs... that said, I understand he can still contribute.
Sorry to not answer the question, I need to think about it a bit more, but one question I have is - do you think the Cavs are going to look for a star player in return to pair with Lebron this season, or do you think they're going to want to rebuild?
Manu is 40. He needs rest games... his play declines sharply on B2B, it also declines past the 20 minute mark etc. This is not an insult to him. Spurs need to get younger in top tier talent. It doesn't help them to have loaded up on guards ages 21-24 if these guys don't move the needle. If Mills not being reupped tilted the needle towards retirement for Manu, he needed to retire anyways. what kind of reason is that not to retire? I will come back only if I get to play with my pal? TF out of here with that.
