    The Spurs wanted to keep Anderson, they just couldn't afford him. And Green is a casualty of Kawhi's ness.
    If he was great like you said, they'd roll out 8mil a year bro.

    And DG was breaking down. All facts.

    They better have another deal in the works otherwise letting Fathead go because "they can't afford him" is BS. They had his bird rights, pay taxes just like other small markets that want to win do. We have some cheap ass ing owners.

    Exactly. You can't win with any fan base. "Get rid of that guy, he sucks!" They get rid of 'em and it turns into, "Um, man they weren't that bad. They were serviceable."

    Listen, we 'lucked' into being done with Verde. He was solid for a whole longer than most players but he was starting to fade a bit. Kyle was getting blown past with ease and his limitations showed with the extended time he got this year. Kyle is a SOLID bench guy and you are willing to pay him 9 mil. a year for being on the bench?!

    I'm GLAD some of you guys don't run a business -- you'd be done within 6 months!

    Keeping Anderson and letting Bertans walk probably would have resulted in the Spurs hitting the luxury tax. And once you’re in the tax, teams make it brutal for you to get out.

    Mills/Murray/White will stay in front of players. Not so much with Forbes, and depends if Beli and Manu play the 3, they too would stay in front of lots of players. The issue is that they will be shot over. Players can find their spots because they don't have the strength or height to prevent them from getting the ball or push them out. I think we are going to see a lot of double teams and passing lanes filtering this season as our defensive strategy, rather than straight up man to man defense and switching. Spurs cannot even afford to switch heavy and have LMA guard the 3 point line because we may only have Beli and Gay trying to box out players for rebounds.
    Good quality answer. Though I think some guys can’t keep up with guys over a screen that you mentioned over there... no matter. It’s not going to be the same.

    Yeah, they both got elite ass rapings by the warriors.
    The warriors are an all time great team offensively they are stacked. Pop having Patty, Forbes etc guard Durant and Klay sure made things easy on them too.

    It probably would not have left them near the tax, especially if they had let Forbes walk. As it is, they have $3.5 Million to spare with 15 guys on the roster. Anderson have dropped that down to $2 Million. Factoring Gay and Gasol potentially coming off the books, and SA going to be fine financially. They let Anderson go because of roster fit and him not wanting to be in SA anymore.

    ^ They could have gotten a small asset for him in exchange if he didn’t want to be in SA, Something he never said btw, but he did want to get paid and be a rotation player (obviously). He projects to be starting in Memphis or be a key reserve, and is young enough they saw him as part of their future going forward.

    I think the Spurs wanted him back, but on a small or low contract. When he improved and projected to generate more interest than they were willing to pay is when they should have looked to move him if they didn’t want to let him go for nada.. so I do think that they were hoping to retain him, but for cheap.

    If Dejounte puts on 25-30 pounds of muscle this off season he has chance. He needs to get in the above 200 range for his build. I think he weighs a buck seventy right now.

    Nowhere. He's just building an imaginary narrative.

    We are pretty much in a ed up situation now without Kawhi and Danny guarding the perimeter. For me it doesn't even matter right now since the Spurs by the way they are set up can't compete currently with the Warriors.

    Kyle's father complaining about SA not using him right and trying to create controversy with the jersey thing. As far as I know, Anderson never came out and said he wanted to leave, but he certainly seemed keen to go to Memphis.

    well you're wrong so ok
    just my thoughts based on my own observations over the years, I don’t think kawhi was a sticky defender, he was great at recovering on defense when he would get blown by, not saying he wasn’t good, but he wasn’t GREAT, like I mentioned before his elite defense had to do more with his anticipation of the passing lanes and the way he could impact the entire game with his instincts

    The San Antonio Spurs fan store never carried his jersey. His dad tweeted that he was looking for a jersey to gift family members or someone visiting them and couldn’t find them, but he found jerseys of guys who were new or had been in the team for barely a year in the store. His Dad was upset about that enough to mention it in a tweet way back in the early part of the season.

    I thought maybe he was being an overly sensitive parent, that he was referring to Gasol or Gay as the new guys ant that it wasn't fair to expect that same treatment since KA wasn't a regular contributor until last year. But I just checked the Spurs fanshop and the Spurs NBA store and guys like Costello, Paul, King Joffrey, Forbes, White, Metu have their jerseys up there. That is kinda messed up, tbh.
