I would not give up Forbes for anything less than a first round pick.

The Spurs dealt Hill a season before he was due a big contract, and his salary ed from 1.7 to 8 mil. The situations aren't analogous at all. We have Forbes locked up for cheap through 19-20
Bryntouchable “showing” his worth out there
9 points amd 4 dimes if u combine with fatty
Yet another thread where the point isn't to be a referendum on the player but it gets bumped as if it were.
DeRozen has to go.
Edit: Oh , wrong thread.
Prince might have been made expendable by 1st round pick Kevin Huerter who as a rookie is averaging 11, 3, & 3 as a starter shooting 39.6% from 3.
In January he's averaging 15, 4, & 4.
Prince has come off the bench 3 straight games coming off injury averaging 8 & 5.
Though I suppose they might see Huerter as a SG and Bembry as the SF.
Still though, Prince might not be off the table
Forbes continues to prove me wrong with his excellent display of basketball.
He tries hard every game.
We just gotta hope that Waller improves as the year goes on and makes some serious strides defensively. It's obvious that both Murray and White are ahead of Forbes on the depth chart, as well as DeRozan and Belli. If Walker can prove that he can play NBA level defense then we don't have to worry about the midget duo anymore.
If I was GM, we would go 82-0 and Forges would be playing for the Suns.
his basketball career is a typical case of: "immense effort, questionable results". I like the guy, don't get me wrong.
I dont see a 3 and D available for the Spurs ar their budget, i would wait until to see how the draft shakes out, their good talent that maybe available. With 2 picks and adding either Gasol or Mills. Could be enticing to move a few spots up, before giving up Forbes.
Forbes is a nice player to have for that Gary Neal role. A microwave type bench player that plays around 15/18 minutes per game. He should never be a starter playing 30 mpg.
Going after a 3 million dollar young player who is only starting due to injury is stupid. I would rather have Bradley Beal too but not realistic
Can Lonnie take his spot next year? Is it possible for him to start with DJ and White off bench or vice-versa? Or too early for Walker even next year?
I mean I've been happy with him, he's played great for the player he is and the role he's been forced into this year, look at teams like the Raptors, they've got CJ Miles shooting 31 & 28% from the field & he's playing the Forbes role off the bench, could be worse.
Pop's fault, not Forbes.
This team isn't good enough to survive a bad starting SG, there's no talent on the bench.
I don’t mind Forbes in the Mills roll come off bench and just do your
3 point thing. He gets into trouble when he has to play as a starter and tries to be a passer/slasher SG. Just pick a spot and wait to get pass and shoot 3 he is pretty good in that roll.
Bottom line if you look over next two years I just don't see where Forbes will get the minutes he is getting this year. I can't see a situation where Walker isn't the better overall player (imo next year but certainly by the following year). Moving forward Murray, White, Walker + vets DDR, Mills, & Beli under contract. I don't see POP moving Party and just think Forbes minutes will diminish in coming years. If you can move him for a young, cheap SF option or another pick in (15-23) range I would go for it while his value is high
I was very skeptical but Bryn has won me over. he just had a couple bad nights, but he made strides since the beginning of the season. He and White are very solid.
Also, his good shooting forces defenses to guarding him, and has developed a nice penetration to the basket. He needs, like everybody else in the Spurs, the ball to move well.
Forbes is maybe the one that suffers more when DDR plays just to get his stats up.
