That's exactly what I am saying.
We should have gotten a pick for him like Ray Mac.
Spurs just didn't even look at that.
Spurs should have traded Cojo in a deadline deal, last season. But Pops ass-hole is sooo tight. "Muh team chemistry!" they knew damn well they weren't going to pay Cory to stay. probably coulda got Greivis Vasquez, maybe even Caboclo. It's insane to me to see Toronto steal Biyombo from the bobcats, and do the exact same thing to Caboclo that the bobcats did to Biyombo.
So, you wanted to try and win the 2015 ring without him? That doesn't make sense to me. I know we lost. But had we pulled out the Clippers series, we would have wanted CoJo.
...as if Pop would give him minutes over Porker.
They obviously didn't trust him in the playoffs. That is what I am saying. He wasn't going to be resigned nor in the playoffs... they could have dealt him for an asset.
Bottom line I think they did like him and value him and if the Aldridge option didn't pan out, they planned to try to keep him.
Ultimately though, he is in a better spot for himself. He was too good for a 3rd string PG.
They didn't use him as a regular playoff contributor; but they did trust him whenever they needed him like Gm 6 vs OKC 2014. In a series vs. GS, he would've gotten more minutes. I don't think much was on the table for a 3rd string PG in terms of immediate impact. Spurs made the right choice (unless someone was offer a mid first, which I seriously doubt).
We'll just disagree TBH. I think they really wanted to try to keep him, thus he wasn't dealt. But obviously if LMA agreed it was going to be impossible. They must have known chances were about 5% or less he was kept. As bereft as we are of young talent with real potential, we actually let him go for nothing and that was disappointing.
Not even close. LMA's deal was hammered out during the moratorium. Anf Cory was only signed after the Spurs honored his request to withdraw the QO (also during the moratorium). There was not a moment where any offer sheet was on the table.
Pop lucked into that game 2 victory last year with TP being injured and being forced to play Mills. The series would have ended much sooner otherwise.
I never said they didn't want to keep him. They knew there was a chance they'd have funds to sign him; and there was a chance they wouldn't have the funds. As the season progressed, it look less likely because of his improved play. He didn't go for nothing because he could've been an important part of a back to back. Yea, that didn't materialize; but still, it wasn't really truly a let him go for nothing scenario in that sense.
I remember when people hated him in his first 2-3 seasons, just like KA now.
FIFYCory Joseph is almost a complete offensive player
...and I'm very happy for him.
Meh he's ok, people who watched highlights probably think he played a great game. He was ok, he hit that buzzer beater 3, before that play he just checked in and immediately turned the ball over. In the second half I watched him hold the ball for 15 seconds on each play then heave up two consecutive airballs. Watch the games OP and not the highlights. Mainstream NBA fan

The league is full of no name players who could contribute if they got minutes. It doesn't mean they would be difference makers.
If you ask me i would love a lot more to have George Hill back over Cory Joseph.
And i donīt know why but i get the feeling that Hill is somehow within reach.
Parker gets how much to do the same thing?Meh he's ok, people who watched highlights probably think he played a great game.

Good call. Same with Chinook
There were rumors Indiana was trying to deal him for Teague. He will be in a contract year and will be an UFA in 2017.
Well, when you go from 2 shots attempted a game to 8-10, that tends to happen to anybody, tbh.
Cojo's shots per game only increased from 5.3 to 7.2. Per 36 they were virtually the same. And conventional thinking is that more shots means better rhythm, anyways.
The reality is this is another OP fail from a terrible poster.
It's too bad, because he's basically what they need right now, but timing is everything. They were trying to win one more championship with the big three, Mills was always going to be a better fit next to Ginobili and they were probably hoping for more of a bounce back from the former than they got.
Me too. So glad to see this improved CoJo version.
I see your point but you're also not factoring the spacing he was afforded with the Spurs and the better shots it afforded him. We can't deny he was given a bigger workload and responsibility as a Raptor and he's handled himself decently...and good for him.
He was making shots at crucial moments.
If you can't see he has improved on the offensive end, you should watch more Raptors games.
