On Vic: I think he got to a point of being the best defender in the NBA, but he wasn't the best over the course of the season, and I'd guess (without being courtside / in the right hemisphere, or listening to isolated audio) he's still got room to grow in communication from the back line / the...

you need to play at least 4 shooters. I can only see 5 being beneficial if one of those shooters is your Center and you want him to go to work in the post. Having a non-shooting perimeter player will give the opponents room to double team. So in Wemby's case playing 5 shooters might be even better,...

No. He just got paid a flattish contract at what is definitely not second-option money. He'd only be making about half of what George would make on a new contract, for example.

Wait, isn't that because of the new CBA and cap increase? Anyhow, Devin got paid on the level of someone who should become a legit second option, he better deliver.

I read an interview with Quickley after that trade went through and was really surprised to hear him say that he knew nothing of it before it happened. I would've guessed that Toronto might have at least tried to put out feelers to his agent about the chances of re-signing, since he'll be a free...

I'm seeing Sochan eventually being like a Frank Brickowski , which isn't nessaasarly a bad thing. I'm wondering how many left on this board know who that is lol

Lmao sheppard is like new version of korver

I don't think that your premise here is supported by the data. For example, the Timberwolves started (in game 2) Kyle Anderson (22.9% from 3 in the regular season, 0% in the postseason - so far) and Jayden McDaniels (33.7% from 3 in the regular season, 21.4% in the postseason - so far). Are...

Devin didn't get close to a max extension. His contract is much closer to what Keldon got than what Maxey will get. Devin got $146M/5 including bonuses as far as I can recall. Maxey will get $204M/5.

I totally agree. Teams being forced to decide between the supermax and trading their low-end All-Star (due to that star being disgruntled by being offered less than the supermax) is the opposite of the incentive that the supermax was supposed to create. Your solution is an elegant way to give...

True, but him being offered and taking a team friendly deal made it clear what the Spurs' intentions were. On the other hand, Devin got a max extension.

Who exactly is this "Sniff crew"? There's a ton of room between thinking that PATFO does everything wrong/should all be fired and thinking that PATFO is infallible and should never be criticized or questioned. Instead of making strawman arguments against the (imaginary) latter group, why not...

That is precisely what Russia is in the process of doing. Russia

People might be confusing what it means to be a weak draft. It's not that the players are worse. It's that we don't know who is going to be good. I'm not ignoring Wemby being a generational talent, but he alone wasn't the reason why last year's class was considered so great. It was also because of...

You being butthurt and deflecting for Fabbs roasting your ass over your Karen love - priceless!!!!!. :lmao Go sulk some more chuncko.

All these mocks now have Dunn dropping to the early 2nd. Would much rather him.

^ my point is not to Stan for Devin or suggest the Spurs are incapable of moving, but more so to look at where the offense is going to be coming from over the next two years or so. Right now that is Wemby and Vassell. If folks are thinking the Spurs should prioritize a PG this draft (I’m not one of...

Check out the respective stats of Castle and Carter when they went head-to-head, and see who's the closer facsimile of Derrick White.

A top 10 pick in a very weak draft who might correspond to a 15-20-ish pick in most others... maybe you do for the right deal. There's no univeral rules that say you do or don't do that in all eternity, that's not good business. Every situation is different and you have to anlyse all the...

On paper, Bronny's not a bad piece. He has the size to be a good guard defender. He has to commit himself to being a role-player who plays tough D, hits open shots and can bring the ball up the floor against moderate pressure. A guy who can do that for 8-12 years has had a successful NBA career....

Is that you Tucky? https://youtu.be/hYfByTcY49k?si=0JlTICkxVt3mIH5p

Good deal!

Just to add: Johnson went from the face of the franchise and first option to sixth man within two years. Vassell's status isn't going to exceed his relative talent or production, and the team will look to add more talent.

Alright show besides the obvious championing of communist fuck faces.

I'm afraid they are too, but really don't believe Devin is a long term 2nd option for a wannabee competitive/contending spurs team. They might need the connector you're mentioning but also more direct playmaking, creativity and simply talent in the backcourt. A Vassell/D-White-like-player...

Vassell was the number-one guy before Wemby. Roles change. The Spurs aren't going to avoid getting a better second option because for one season Devin played that role. That would be purposefully hamstringing the team for no reason. If Dillingham is drafted and develops that way, he'll get the...

Fuck Ukraine!
