Well, maybe he'll turn into another passive, overpaid Frenchman like Batum.

Forget him as a free agent target. Look at him as a missed buy low draft trade target. He's the player they missed because they let Blair and Neal walk away in free agency, instead of trading them for buy low trade fodder.
is a beast!
could we have traded Paul George for him?
???
2-7, 0-2 FT, -7 so far
10 rebounds in the 1st half
Baynes has 6 in 4 less minutes...
baynes is playing out of his mind in this game tbh
18 rebs 5 blks'
this nig is in video game mode
Not gonna lie, he had a complete game tonight... better than Favors...
Amazing, yes. Unfortunately Gobert won't be a free agent this summer... but Hassan Whiteside will be: http://espn.go.com/nba/statistics/pl...ualified/false
I was impressed with the kid. Give him a few years and he may be a seriously good asset for some team.
Frenchie Steve Adams.
Hassan Whiteside is a similar physical freak: 7'7" wingspan, 9'5" standing reach.

Still remember like it was yesterday when he was picked right before our turn & traded away to Utah - either the SPURS could not move up to grab him or they just expected him to fall to them at #28... a missed opportunity considering they did bring him in for a workout.
Oh well, at least KL worked out great
18 and 13 in 29 minutes against the World Champions at home.
He's only 22, still needs a couple more years as big men usually do.
Could force Kantor out of Utah. Would like to see Kantor on the Spurs. Also depends on how high they will draft with two of the top 3 or 4 picks expected to be Okafor and Towns
They didn't offer Kanter an extension by the deadline. He's a good rebounder and decent post scorer, but below average on D, a real plodder. I'd much rather go after Monroe.
Are you sure? Both ESPN's trade machine and Realgm's trade checker show him under contract next year. Teams typically sign DLeague callups to 2 year deals with little or no guaranteed money in year 2.
Hmmm... i don't know for sure-- I'm just going by this:http://hoopshype.com/salaries/miami.htm
Yeah, I saw that as well. Hoopshype has always been really good about updating roster changes, but not the best with options and such. Shamsports was always the best, but he hasn't updated his info since the summer. We'll see.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Spurs did go after Monroe (along with the Knicks). Gasol, Aldridge, Millsap and Horford (not up until '16) are all more than likely staying put and unless they max out or come close with Kanter, the Jazz will match, just to retain the asset. So if Duncan retires this summer, that leaves who?
The mid range shooting and lack of rim protection are issues, but you've got to ask yourself: Can they do better? And the answer is, almost certainly no. He's still young, a good low post scorer and passer, solid rebounder and he can play both big positions, which is crucial to be able to play alongside both Splitter and Diaw.
As far as his mid ranger, let's face it, between last season and this one, Duncan's has fallen off a cliff. Teams generally don't bother defending it anyway, so how much more crunched will the spacing be with the starting unit? And I know he's been around a while, but who knows, maybe Engelland can help him reach respectability. We're not talking about a Jordan, Drummond, etc., who has no touch whatsoever.
Not super familiar with either but based on what I've have heard, Kantor is more mobile and definitely a better athlete than Monroe is. Kantor has good offensive skill and really hasn't had the consistent minutes that Monroe has had to develop because he played behind Milsap, his first two seasons. Neither are good defenders but Green and KL along with Splitter should help minimize most of the damage on that end
I think Kantor may be overlooked in RFA, with Draymond Green and Reggie Jackson gaining more attention and having Gasol, Milsap, Monroe and (potentially) Hibbert and Love as UFAs.
Kantors more than 2 years younger and Monroe is probably closer to his ceiling than Kantor maybe. I'd like to see Kantor as a Spur, personally.
Thats been pretty baffling. He was an excellent mid range shooter two seasons ago but below average now. Doing the Washington game he was hesitating before deciding against the open jumper and passing it out to reset.
