    Pau address the contract. As well-discussed here he opted out to give the team space to pursue some major free agents (i.e. Chris Paul) and trusted them to not make him regret that decision because he was committed to being a Spur.

    He's lost weight and it sounds like he hopes to start.

    Love those pictures. Thanks for posting Ace and Bill. Pau did seem slimmer to me.

    Not surprised. TD21 and myself had kind of assumed that. I havee to give credit to TD21. He was the first who thought that was likely. I just assumed Pop would preserve the illusion that LMA was a 4 by starting the two together, even if he played others at the 4 more.

    An interesting aspect is as you said, were Manu's comments in media day that he hopes LMA is there for the entire season. If he were to get traded midseason, Pau would be the most significant big and his $16 million contract entirely justified in hindsight + he'd need chemistry with the starters.

    It is possible that the uncertainty with LMA made them want to secure a very skilled (if ageing) big who can even initiate the offense out of the post/high post/elbow. One thing that was evident in the playoffs after both Tony and Kawhi were out, was how few players on this team can make plays for others. Couple that with the deal they had to make with Pau to opt out so they could roll the dice for Paul, and the contract is understandable. Not necessarily acceptable but understandable.

    Hopefully that isn't Rudy in shock because he realizes Day1 he'll never be the same after the achilles.

    That's a little bit tragic if true for him. I know you were humorous.
    I have thought about this a lot but will hold that thought and wait to see him.

    Because he sucked.

    Seriously though, as mentioned in one of the other threads, he signed a G-League contract in Austin and the Spurs still have his draft rights. I guess the team felt like he wasn't ready yet.
