Just like Iggy going to talk to the Spure is leverage, so are the dubs "considering" Gay. Andre will re-sign with the dubs, he wants 3 years, they want 2.

Wouldn't be the first time Gay was used as a boogeyman to get devout Christians to follow the party line

well gently caress

normally i'd have a good chuckle about this but since it's the spurs they'll unlock his secret potential and he'll end up being the player he was supposed to be in memphis

mixed feelings on this one

achilles injury is bad. but the man has a rep for scoring and the spurs need that.

can he play defense? and he play post-injury at all?

Rudy Gay is a perfectly fine player if you have the right expectations and put him in spots he's good at. San Antonio might be the first place ever where that will happen

Or Popovich will retire after the season since he only promised to stick around until Aldridge expired

he was an ok defender pre achilles. not super smart or locked in but athletic.

achilles injuries are career ruiners.

This is the truth BTW. They signed the third best player on their team to the biggest contract in the NBA and it's going to hurt them in a few years.

he'll coach until at least 2020 since he's the Team USA coach. he's gotta stay relevant. might even stay until 2024 if he gets a second chance and loved the first one

i'm not really sure on him signing with the spurs.

he probably wants money and spurs probably thought they could get a discount since he's coming off a serious injury

SunshineDanceParty: Feb 7, 2006; One Road. Two Friends. One Ass.

The Oladipo contract was one of Presti's huge mistakes, and just getting out of that makes the trade worth it. I'm also more of a Westbrook fan than a Thunder fan at this point, so if the worst case end result is him and George bonding and taking off to LA then I'll follow.

that would be really, really good.

they can't offer much money to anyone; i suspect they'll probably end up with whoever doesn't have a home in a few days.

also.

I have no idea if this guy is legit but I choose to have faith in the man.

He's pretty good internationally; we'll see if he can make the jump to the NBA.

You might remember him as the guy who did the Darth Vader dunk with Cedi "The Jedi" Osman.
