Wishful thinking but I'm hoping that DWhite winning a ring and balling out for Boston raises Keldon's value somewhat. Get a young guy away from the old man and sky's the limit tbh :lol
nothing specific has come out, but i think a couple reporters made some vague reference to "non basketball reasons" for why he might fall. saw this like a week or two back
I'm with DAF, if all it took to get Cade was 4, 8, Keldon and another future 1st, I'd easily take that tbh.
He'd be pretty much the perfect PG to line up next to Wemby. Keeping Vassell and Sochan as well... that's a no brainer :lol
I wasn't suggesting giving up a solid role player; I was suggesting giving up Keldon Johnson, a replacement level player. If he was going to be somebody he would have probably been it by now.
Bruce Bowen type on D and if he manages to develop an outside shot, he could be a key part of a playoff or even title team.
He seems like someone you round the roster out with, though, not draft high and have big expectations on both ends for. Don't think he's what we need right now.
I was thinking of this trade earlier and see you guys talking about something similar.
any thoughts?
I think Detroit could really use a vet aggressive scorer like KJ and spurs can take a shot at Ivey who might be worthless to Detroit next year. Spurs might be able to get him going. The...
Maybe I missed this but what character concerns with Holland? I don't remember him having that stigma.
I don't love him at #8 but he'd be a pretty damn good pick for somebody in the 10-15 range if he fell that far tbh.
Lo and behold, this was my point when I said that if one thing was a sham, then everything can be seen as a sham. This is a rabbit hole of irrational thinking. We can say anybody gamed the tests at this point, as long as it fits our narrative. What a damn shame.

Wouldn't have wanted him at say 7 if the Toronto pick didn't convey and the Spurs fell but with a second lottery pick can't say I'm against taking a home run swing on Holland unless they take a home run swing on Buzelis at 4 instead of a high floor guy like Risacher, Castle, or Sheppard there....
After 4 years of your assassination squads chasin' President Trump around you had it & still have it comin'...you got another taste last week when Biden got saddled with the FELON label. Trump did that.
How can folks say this is the flattest draft at the top, and also then say that trading up 2 slots (mind you, outside of the top 3) requires giving up a solid role player to do so?
Taller and longer is so close that it's kind of a reach to emphasize it. 0.25 inches taller? Buzelis is also 6 months older, for all anyone knows Risacher could grow 0.25 inches in the next 6 months.
And the vertical numbers have their own problems: if they're legit, then Buzelis has a...
Kawhi's VORP was 2.1 as a rookie, second season he was doing a great job guarding LeBron in the Finals, third year he was Finals MVP. Cade's first two years he was replacement level and Year 3 he's just crept into reasonable starting material level with a 1.2 VORP. When you say Cade is a surefire...
Cade realistically has about the same value as Vassell +/- a mid-late first rounder tbh. If he gets maxed he might have less value. Similar size, similar wingspan, trade Vassell's better defense for Cade's ability to handle a larger offensive load. Impact metrics at the same age about the same as...
I hit Vegas last year that thought it was pretty cool. I think it would be nice to go there with the full plan to see games all day. As it was, I watched only a few and was there for only those first two days. I fully intend to go back one of these years, but I want to hit up Utah or I guess this...
We need more rain in South Central Texas.
My hopes look to be dashed unless we get some heavier rain reaching SA and beyond.
Get us all excited about a Tropical low dammit..
Thank God the InSanitus in Florida forgot about the Capitol Police so quickly.
Oh, that was a picnic ? One can calmly greet those type of Cops with the barriers they set up as long as you only bust open doors and windows, and chase elected members of Congress around.
Wow I’m surprised so many people have Risacher number 1 overall. I don’t dislike him but I’m still looking for the highest upside players if I’m the Spurs
This is sort of what I was talking to Deeps about yesterday. Small-forward prospects who need to develop but can do some things well have a natural role on the team as the backup PF both Holland and Buzelis can play there to get up to NBA speed while they work on their shot. The team needs legit...
