One of the best ever. RIP

Pretty much my thoughts exactly. Just hard to imagine the Spurs are that in love with Risacher. I don’t doubt that Atlanta is interested in Clingan. I very much doubt that the Spurs would trade 4 and 8 to guarantee they can get Risacher. Spurs would love for ATL or one of these other top 3...

How much is enough?

Sochan in 33 games at PG: 4 assists and 2.1 turnovers. Sochan in 40 games at PF: 2.9 assists, 1.7 turnovers. I don't think his passing was much better, it's just that he wasn't pressured to make more advanced passes. His ast/TO ratio is actually good on paper, but we all know how it actually...

We’re not picking at these positions (9,26,20,11,10,19,29) though, we’re picking at 4 and 8. Not all first rounders are equal. Not all top 10 picks are equal.

I see your point but he isn't a playmaker, at least, not yet and with no clear signs he ever will be one. He's best utilized finishing off someone else's penetration/gravity, IE Wemby just being alive on the same side of the court. If he had a 3 point shot that was at all reliable, I'd say he's...

He's much better at passing when he is a PF than a PG though. It really messed with his head.

Batshit. 1800968160654295063

I really don’t see why Spurs would trade 4 + 8 for 1 tbh…I mean, whatever, if they love someone that much that’s fine, but seems silly on the surface. Just force ATL to take Clingan first or miss out on him. ATL taking Clingan first opens up the path for Risacher to make it to 4 so not sure why SA...

Conservatives typically want all the benefits of taxes, such as having decent roads, rails and airlines, courts and police that work quickly/prosecute every crime, a powerful military, etc without actually having to pay their share of taxes for all of these things.

Sochan missed Wemby for wide open shots - usually dunks - literally dozens of times this season. He's anti-playmaking, at least for the only one on the team that actually matters in terms of how you gauge someone's playmaking skills. The Spurs sucked, in large part, because Sochan is blind and...

It’s not that his injury/lack of workouts is hurting him, it’s that other PGs are coming in strong. Carter and Bub have been getting a lot of buzz, even as they are different players than Dillongham.

Doesn't this go in line with what Dusty Garza was reporting with them trading down to the Spurs?

I think it's obvious he will never be an excellent 3 point shooter, however, he showed glimpses of playmaking ability but because that fizzled out this past season, his stock is low. I think he can slowly improve in all areas and yes his finishing at the rim is the biggest concern because that HAS...

It's not an all in with all the picks we own. We'd obviously also need a good point guard. That was my idea in the ideal offseason topic, getting DJ and Lauri. But regardless of who we get, I think a Lauri type forward would make Wemby unstoppable. He's basically a 7 foot Klay. New point...

I can't agree with the idea that recently picked players are equivalent to future firsts. The future picks are much more liquid, allow the receiving FO to pick the player they want, and are cost controlled for longer. I disagree with the bolded part too. Wesley and Branham are whatever, but...

Fair point about tanking. If we only have one chance to go all in, I would think a perimeter player who can score and get others involved would be the priority, not risking what Wemby is doing well already.

10 years ago I was eating at a restaurant in Santa Monica. We noticed Jerry West and Rod Thorn having drinks at the bar. Then Rambis walked in the door and joined them, then Kupcheck, then Coop, then Byron. Every few minutes another Laker Legend. And finally Magic. Then their party moved to a...

It hurt his stock because he can't shoot. A forward who can shoot, but his ballhandling and playmaking skills are limited to tertiary role is fine. A forward who can't shoot or be a primary/secondary playmaker isn't fine. My actual issue with him is that he has no semblance of a layup package...

The Cavs trying to act like they might keep Garland makes sense. They know they won't get anywhere close to equal value in return if they are forced to deal him. If Mitchell really wants to go to an over-the-cap team the Cavs are better suited by doing a S&T of Mitchell and keeping Garland imo....

Would take Carter over Dillingham because of defensive issues. Same reason I would not want Trae Young on our team (especially for that kind of money).

Yeah. I love playing hands like jack-ten suited, especially from late position. Easy to walk away from and a fairly good chance to win a very large pot. With pocket aces if you don't hit that third ace you might be screwed, if you do hit that third ace you're probably winning a small pot either...

exactly. that's why I'll typically wear a hat and pair of shades and keep my mouth under wraps of my hands the whole time like Phil Hellmuth does.

He moves and plays like Jimmy Butler tbh. Butler looks more muscular and also is more about his tenacity and clutch gene.

Fuck no. Spurs would be getting bent over in that trade. Furthermore, Spurs don’t leak shit like this so you know it’s bullshit.

All in with pocket aces pre flop and you're most likely picking up the fucking blinds and that's it. :lmao Unless you're in late position and you get lucky and someone else shoves or bets or even limps pre flop... but the limpers aren't going to call an all in shove.

1800879942000906677 This reeks of BS tbh :lol Think dude is just looking for clicks.

Yuck. What a horrible trade. That can’t be real

Clingan might be there best bet at improving the team the next 2-3 years when they don't have any draft picks. They are in win-now mode. They will definitely explore trading down a bit because of this.

Derp Nowinzki for all his flaws didn't miss THAT many free throws. His miss in 2006 was painful and probably cost them that championship, going up 3-0 and all, but Luka is literally white Shaq.
