Gobert anyone?????

[DrunkTXLabrat]

Spurs wouldn't have had to trade for Tavares. He was a second rounder.

if i had said the spurs shoulda drafted him over anderson, you'd probably be the first guy to eat my lunch. and i'd deserve it. you have such limited vision that you couldn't see what i was getting at? that's my clue that you don't have the vision to see the value of tavares.

[DrunkTXLabrat]

You could never pair Splitter and Gobert, though. Not on this team.

not on the court at the same time, but post-Duncan Splitter/Diaw and Gobert/Anderson would be fine with me.

Utah just matched a Max offer for Hayward. Big men are always overpaid, so it's going to take an 8 figure annual salary to make Utah choke and not match. Spurs ain't paying that for a raw bench big.

I'd say that's the value of making a draft day trade for him or Tavares. But i'd also say that's the price Utah can pay for not reuniting Hayward with Stevens.

i'm still pissed we didn't get to draft him tbh

Yeah, I was hoping they got his ass too, then ing Utah screwed us one pick before.

[TD 21]

Two perfect examples of lack of reading comprehension . . .

A Noel level prospect is NEVER going to drop to the end of the first round. Splitter dropped because he was in an iron-clad contract that he couldn't get out of for at least two years. He was also 22, and couldn't pull out of the draft any more times. No promise would be necessary or given to such a player.

Which is precisely why I said "someone closer to a Noel level prospect".

You can see why we're hung up on Gobert.

No, I can't. Nowhere in that do I so much as infer that they'd break a promise for Gobert or a prospect of his caliber. What I said was, I personally think they've have been fools to not go with Gobert over Jean-Charles, if he fell to them.

Not really. I said you can see why we'd assume you were talking about Gobert. You say the Spurs would be fools to not break LJC's promise for Gobert. Since you don't believe they would have (or at least since you're saying that now), you therefore imply that you think the Spurs' FO is foolish. I had assumed that you would agree PATFO aren't fools and thus that they would go for Gobert. That you didn't mean that is incidental.

Right, but that's in my opinion. I never said they actually would for a prospect of his caliber though.

I think they'd have been fools to not go with Gobert over Jean-Charles, but that wouldn't have made them fools in general.

20 boards in 22 minutes? Anyone???

He's under contract though, isn't he? or has he not signed a guaranteed contract with his NBA team?

[Splits]

Blue font.

Hes fully guaranteed

[spurraider21]

he would have complemented Paul George well

[Brazil]

he would have complemented Paul George well

and Boozer

[Cry Havoc]

Bump. Been watching this guy play. He's limited offensively but he's active, he hustles, and he's a defensive monster. Avging 2 blocks per game this year OFF THE BENCH. That's absolutely insane.

[RD2191]

Can't be worse than ayres/bonner.

[ElNono]

taller De Colo?

[Cry Havoc]

I don't think he could earn a ton of time with this unit but he has a lot of potential, just for his effort in games alone. He would be an upgrade over Baynes once he learned our system.

Utah just matched $16M for Hayward. Do you really think they won't go that high for a talented young big like Gobert ?

Unreal. Almost 5 blocks per 48.

Can they afford to for a guy who's the 4th big off their bench?

i'm still pissed

They didn't extend Kanter.

At who?

[kobyz]

i like him ever since he played for franch under 21 team and lead them to finish second in europ almost won the gold, losing on the last second, but i knew he will be a player because of his passion and solid iq for the game as a big...

[Raven]

At who?

Fate i guess
