To be fair, Birch looks perfect for team tank.

Well at least this time Durant only joined a 64 win team instead of a 73 win one.

Spurs: "We do right by our guys, even if they're guys like Nephew."

2028 3rd rounder

Poeltl was a good soldier. A low-maintenance, highly productive starter for a team that never had the shooters necessary to maximise his full capabilities. Toronto as it currently stands, is even worse for him in that regard.

Spurs took what they could get last min. Hopefully depending on pick protection it isnt a horrible undersell

Seriously that 2019 team with DLo, Jarrett Allen, Dinwiddie, Lavert, etc. Wasn't a title contender, but had a solid group of players. it turns out the KD/Kyrie/Harden saga didn't even finish much better either.

:lol if they also land Wemby

Never even heard of Birch and I watched the NBA regularly until like 3 years ago.

2nd if your lucky

That unprotected 2029 pick is going to be nice as hell when Doncic walks in '26 after Kyrie goes Kyrie again.

suns taken to the barn :lol

And Poeltl is supposed to be Spurs biggest trade asset, not including Keldon/Vassell. What’s JRich haul? Peanuts??

Seeing Khem Birch’s name made me look up an old Facebook post I made June 26, 2014. Had some good takes and some bad… notably: ”Khem Birch, 6'9" PF with 7'1" wingspan. Mountain West Conference Defensive Player of the Year twice. According to win shares, he's a solid starter who can be found...

Rockets just lucked out. They own all of Brooklyn’s draft capital for the next 3-4 years.

Birch for Poeltl is the trade I’ve envisioned since the preseason. I’m itching to see the protection for this pick. Poeltl was picked 9th (and worked out which most players don’t) so depending on the protection this could be a good trade or a bad one.

With how weak the West looks, Phoenix has to be the favorite to make the finals now?

GoSpursNo!

:lol Wright helping out his buddies in Toronto

Wasn't a fan of trading Poeltl at all but depending on the pick protections it's a fair price. 2 firsts was always too optimistic.

interpreting thru the scope of skin color.

masai>wright

:rollin

Well Suns deal might hurt in the long run, but they just moved into the favorites if Durant stays healthy. That’s a damn good team.

Khem Birch is 30 yrs old out on injury. No surprise there :lol

it's only a negative that they were so public about expecting 2 FRPs and now being so publicly humiliated for what they actually got. And that's before we know how protected that 1 FRP actually is.

Marks was in a bind. He did a good job until Irving and Hardin destroyed the team.

what's the definition of woke?

I hatteeeeeeee that they took on Khem in the deal. I wont care if its pick 8 or less protected but if its lottery protected and they took on Khem who unlike Jak has 7M guaranteed next season I will puke. So dumb to agree to Khem unless its a hell of a pick

of course it will be...
