finally PATFO doing something smart and not throwing more money at a playoff scrub who bent over for the Showers every season
Cause they can usually find the next person with a similar skillset to start developing and molding in to what they need.

Can you defend and shoot the 3?
And then they throw $20 million at Davis.
RIP SA Girl
really disappointed by this.
Oh no, we didn't overpay a slow footed bench guy who can't shoot and can't stay on the court against Houston or GS, what will we do?
Looks like the Spurs learned from those garbage deals with Gasol and Mills last summer.
Will probably go the same route that many Spurs role players did before: be a decent but overrated and overpaid player. Think of guys like George Hill, Corey Joseph, Thiago Splitter, Aron Baynes, Boban Marjanovic, Gary Neal, etc. Mills should have been another, but somehow we fell for our own trap on that one.
YES!!!!! Finally some common sense. Green is /should be next.
Has any player ever left the Spurs and did better with the new team?
green exercised the last year pursuant to his player option. so he's back for 10 mil on what is the last season of his deal
Baynes is a pretty solid roleplayer. Have to realize these are roleplayers, not stars. Hill was good and a legit starter for a few years, Tiago unfortunately got hurt and career was over, otherwise he was decent when he played. CoJo has been a rotation player in playoff teams (granted in the East but still, it's not like he washed out or got waived or anything). Boban was fun to watch but the word of advice was that he was Never a rotation player for the Spurs. Just wasn't.
Neal had the same problems elsewhere including quarreling with teammates but he still toiled around the league for a few years.
That's why I said they were decent. But all of them, at some point or another, were overpaid for what they produced.
hill/cojo/boban got overpaid pretty egregiously. i dont think the others really did.
Perhaps overpaid, but not by the Spurs.
In recent years, off the top of my head, Ian Mahinmi, George Hill, David West, Aron Baynes, Jamychal Green..
It's relative. Some more than others. In Kyle's case perhaps but he was a RFA and to pry him away they had to overpay a bit. Spurs wanted him back after all and would match to a point. If he performs for them like he did in SA he will be worth his contract. They project him to be a starter so that price is fine for a starter.
The team was in the lottery previously. If they get more wins this season it will be a success for them.
That's what I said: that other teams tend to fall for the trap of seeing role players playing on the Spurs system and overpay.

On the other side, Joseph, Neal, Blair and Roger Mason fell off when leaving the Spurs..Simmons, Marco and Dedmon were neutral..Splitter doesn't count, his body was finished within months of changing teams..
Not as many as perceived, unless I'm forgetting some guys in recent years..
Van Gundy was paying Baynes 7 millions per year at some point.
sounds about right. boban also neutral. still just a mascot.
i guess throw in anthony tolliver as someone who got better... but he was only here for a minute. turkoglu if you want to go way back
Forgot about Tolliver, good call, he's made a nice career for himself as a bench player..
CoJo stands out to me. I remember some were beginning to buy him as the future starting PG for the team at the time when Tony was declining and the CoJo/Mills duo looked efficient enough.
