Smoke in general. I didn't mean about the Spurs.

Tbh, I hope so. I dont' want either of those two. I'm fine with every other pick. Except maybe Topic because of his injury status.

I feel like this is what SA would do, but I would prefer Castle personally in this scenario. Then you hope Cody/Holland is there or you take Carter as well and come away with two guards and phase out Branham/Blake entirely. Of course you can trade up to ensure you get both Risacher and Castle...

What smoke? It was stated that SA has worked out ZERO Ignite players, and Matas is in that group.

Not just no, FUCK NO. That’s one of the worst trades I’ve seen posted on ST, EVER, and I’ve been here for 20+ years. You don’t trade #11 in a shit draft for a likely #11 in a great draft. Chicago ain’t doing shit next year, no matter who they resign. And how many fucking players do you think...

He's widely recognized as one of the better on-ball defenders in the draft, and his lateral agility is exceptional. Before his shooting improvement last season, the thought was that defense would be his ticket in the NBA. His height is one of the big issues (reportedly) but between his wingspan...

Seems like a lot of smoke about Buzelis rising. I... liked him watching the couple Ignite games. Like, you see a mobile and pretty active player. Good size and mobility. Just, poking around more I'm just like, alright? I had him in my four or five dudes I'd like in this lottery, back before the...

Another franchise, like Phoenix, joining the Let’s Pay Three Coaches At Once Club? Monte was put into an untenable situation with the shit roster that Troy Weaver assembled. Troy deserved to be fired for that. Monte did not.

Correct. Coming away with Castle makes everything else gravy.

beating the dead horse here, but imo gotta be risacher with an eye on dillingham at 8

while id be content just taking risacher at 4 and expecting dillingham at 8, if it is indeed the case that the spurs dont care for dillingham and sheppard is the next guy on their board, then yeah i'd be in favor of making some kind of trade. im not sure if 35 and 48 is enough to move 3 spots,...

That’s a terrible comp, and he’s not even as well rounded as Castle.

Maybe he can block shots with his long fucking neck. He's the anti-dejuan.

I just read about a proposed trade deal with Portland where they give us there 14th pick and Brogdon for Keldon Johnson. Not sure about the trade, but even at 14 I don't think Carter will be there I think he goes 8 - 12 in this draft

Castle, every day, and twice on Sunday.

Said they hadn’t worked out any Ignite players. Maybe that’s a thing with them.

Theres plenty of combos that make sense: Castle + Carter. Risacher + Cody etc… But if definitely feels like we may be shaping up (assuming no trades in top 3) with: Clingan to ATL, Sarr to WAS and Reed to HOU. What does the board want for SA in that scenario?

It’s hard to tell. In a draft like this, teams may very well not be willing to pay much to move up so there may be a surprising lack of movement up due to teams with higher picks not wanting bad optics of feeling like they gave up a “top 10 pick” for too little? So may be a situation where...

It’s funny, because I was just thinking something that would melt this board, and pretty much the opposite: Castle and Topic. :lol

Finally a Matas thread lol. This kid was projected as the #1 overall pick in this draft last June. Then he went to the G League ignite where prospects go to die and had a pretty underwhelming season where his 3-point shooting fell off a cliff. The physical tools are there to be a really solid...

The miracle was that nearly everyone on that roster was injured or stupid (Ja). You do actually want character guys if your plan is for a championship. Guys like GG tend to crack under pressure because they’re all hat and no cattle, so to speak. Someone was pimping DLo as an option this summer,...

If Clingan goes Top-3, I'd be calling Detroit and offering #8, #35 & #48 for their #5. I'd take the 2 remaining of Sarr, Risaccher, Castle and Sheppard

Apparently, the Spurs promised Salaun their pick to fake his injury.... also Dillingham's ankle sprain... and Topic was just too good to let him play all year so the Spurs shut him down too. We'll draft all 3 at the #8 pick.

GNob was going to kick ass with virtually any team he went to. He is that versatile and good. Fortunately the Spurs got him and kept him.

Guess I gotta warm up to Buzelis but he is on my holy triumvirate of NO PLEASE GOD NO don't pick these 3 players for SA: Holland, Topic and Buzelis in that order are 3 of my DO NOT WANT prospects but I will admit that of those three Buzelis is the only one I don't like where I feel like I'm...

he seems like a tweener. not fleet footed enough to survive defending out on the perimeter, and not strong enough to handle most 4's or the occasional switch onto a small 5 inside ive mostly seen him as a 4 as a prospect, somewhat redundant with Sochan, which is why i havent been particularly...

your inability to answer the question is duly noted i think its just "lebron bad"

TLDR. It's not a brag. It's a taunt. I have explained why I do not believe it is worth reading your posts. I will demonstrate: You could have written: NBA players move around a lot according to metrics. It was a surprise the Spurs could keep together the team for the last championship...

Sounds like an overreaction from two points of information. One is Primo, and literally no one could have predicted what happened. The other is GG Jackson, where so many are WILDLY overreacting to the situation. There's like a one in a million chance he'd become even remotely playable after what he...
