Davis Bertans re-signs, 4 years, $20 million (Unconfirmed)

[ginobilized]

Given the cir stances, this is a solid signing. The Spurs are not finished moving parts around, either.

I have a strong su ion that PATFO may be not only changing the roster, but, also adapting the "system" to fit the players on hand and the modern NBA.
I expect more small ball lineups and an offensive makeover of sorts. Pop is very creative and doesn't deviate from a plan until it is proven to no longer work. The tweaks may be subtle, but, watch for them.
This would explain the loss of "corporate knowledge" going forward. Pop and RC are real planners and I expect to see a very different style of play in some ways next season.

Personally, Bertans at 20/4 vs Anderson at 37.2/4 is a no-brainer.

Once the Kawhi crap gets sorted, it should be a very interesting season.

[MannyIsGod]

The thing is, even if you wanted to blow it up you have to see what Kawhi yields in return first. So nothing they have done precludes them from still blowing it up. Letting TP/Kyle go helps that. Signing Beli, Rudy & Danny staying doesnt harm that and Bertans is part of a rebuild.

I dont see why people want to blow it up though! Like, you can always blow it up, you can’t always get back to being a playoff team. So if you can get younger, have a flexible financial future and still try to rebuild after Kawhi why would you just want to blow it up?

I get that you want top draft picks and that will be the best way to get a new star, but SA can still be pretty damn good if the Kawhi trade does ok and they will have cap space.

Exactly. I'll never understand the desire to bottom out for a small market team.

Some of y'all are re ed.

but but a $5 mill/yr player wasn't lights out against GS w/o Kawhitter
wat is PATFO doing

[TheDoctor]

I'd rather have Kyle than this bum tbh

Rocalcio that you?

[ducks]

I WOULD RATHER HAVE DUNCAN BACK AT 20 MILLION ALSO
I WOULD RATHER HAVE JAMES AT 20 MILLION ALSO
I WOULD RATHER HAVE CURRY AT 20 MILLIN ALSO

[Allan Rowe vs Wade]

So, like, half the contract of Kyle Anderson for less than half the player.

lol

[AFBlue]

Dude has ice in his veins as a shooter, and just needs more opportunity. With Anderson gone, I think he'll get it. Gotta have stretch bigs in today's NBA, and he fits the bill. There's still considerable upside with him.

[rascal]

I was expecting DB to a 3pt ace, but he hasn't cracked 40% yet

His 3G% dropped by 2%+ from 16-17 to 17-18

At very best he's avg at rebounds, shotblocker, defender, iow, not a hustler.

White player. Needs to shoot an open jump shot to get his shot away. Not a shot creator. No quickness or hops in his game.
His height gives him some scoring around the basket but prefers to stand on the perimeter where his lack of athleticism works better.

[Dex]

Spurs lock down a legit rotation player for less than 5% of the cap, and people around here still ing smh.

I'm ok with this as long as they don't bring back Forbes.

Solid first post

agree...but probably (and hopefully) we already have enough guards signed

[spurraider21]

his value can only go up. if he played 1 year on a RFA tender and showed the improvement we think he could, there's no way he'd be had for anything really near 5 mil. as opposed to anderson who as a 4 year vet sorta already is what he is.

[DAF86]

Good . Now give him some regularity in terms of minutes and profit.

[Hoops Czar]

Spurs FO has a serious Matt Bonner fetish. Another regular season player that turns into a pumkin in the playoffs.

[Chucho]

I hate the guy. He's a pussy who can't rebound, can't defend and his shooting is streaky. I'd have preferred Anderson, but he was just too expensive for the output.

The contract ins't bad, but the player is. I hope I'm wrong, but I feel a sub Bonner prime for this dude.

Your hope is reality.

[Chucho]

Your hope is reality.

As in he'll get better? That's what I'm hoping. I'd never hope a player we signed gets tier.

[Chucho]

I'm hoping he can give 25 minutes, 10 points or so and maybe 5 rebounds. That's be awesome for the price. Am I too out of line in those expectations?

That was funny.

Hmm not sure on the rebounds let's be honest.

[Hoops Czar]

Teams like the Lakers, Rockets, Warriors, Clippers, etc are signing players to one year deals and the Spurs are still destroying future cap space by signing flat out scrubs to Four year contracts. The league is zigging and the Spurs are zagging.

[apalisoc_9]

$17M over the cap on a roster with 1 good player

The Spurs have been winning for years by not following the norm.

[DAF86]

Why the are guys acting surprised? After Kyle was let go, declining Bertans wasn't even an option.
