And that would be roster balance. Trading our only forward who has had a 20 ppg season isn’t.

His finishing at the rim is very good, but it won't matter much in the NBA if he doesn't have any range. Reliable mid-range pull up from FT line would be the difference maker. Imo, there's no middle ground with him. Either he becomes one of the best playmakers in the league and a great third...

Yeah but what about all the pedophilia running rampant with gay marriage!?

The DET trade for Keldon is enticing not because I love this draft, but because its a clean reset of money/cap space that allows you to replace Keldon immediately (not via draft, but Im talking right now in FA) and get a more versatile team and bump 2 guys down rotation and open up real minutes for...

Dejounte is not good defensively. The Hawks had a higher defensive rating with just Trae on the floor vs just Dejounte on the floor

We have no guards that matter my friend….thats the point. I would trade Branham + Tre + Blake for Ivey right now without question.

He’s really bad defensively. It’s the reason Monte cut his minutes his past season. And roster balance? We have a glut of guards, not very many forwards, and you want to trade a forward for a guard? Doesn’t seem like balancing the roster to me.

Ya - I think theres pros and cons. Keldon is a very good player, still young and a legit scorer and 6th man. Spurs should not be in a rush to move him or get off his deal. I do think something like pick 5 is fair value in terms of one-for-one so that part is fine. It’s more of a question of...

Tidjane Salaun scouting report:

They have one good player, and a player who transcends labels or a ceiling.

It’s not that much of a difference on price and you get 2 years of still “cheap” Ivey before you are really forced on a decision. Point is, if Ivey was in this draft he would absolutely be in the same range as Castle, Reed etc….Hes not worse defensively than Dilly at all either. But none of...

A long time ago I posted a video of Sheppard vs. Tennessee that tagged his defensive possessions. They were troublesome. I'll try to find it.

^^^ fyi, Topic's averages are from about 33 mpg, while Dilly & Sheppard were at ~23 & 29 mpg.

Oh I'm not worried about Wemby at all. He WILL be freaky but the rest of the roster has shown none of them were starters in a competitive team; besides Vassel, and not as a 2nd option... It's natural for us fans to hope for the best and our players will take the next step but that's exactly what...

Personally, from what I've seen of Topic's games, his opponents sucked. The defenders he faced were like grannies with walkers.

Ya - im out on Giddey tbh….

How do you know the plan was always Sidy? If that were the case, wouldn’t we have drafted him at 33 instead of trading the pick away? From what I remember, we were interested in Rupert at 33, but he asked other teams not to draft him because he had a promise from the Blazers. And we were...

Spurs have 2 good players on their current starting five. If they expect to be anything other than a bottom feeder next year they're delusional

that's why I would be pretty sure, that he will improve his shooting. he will practise his shot as much as possible and he won't lose confidence and piss himself after two missed tries. and I'm sure he will adjust his role to what is best for the team success. so maybe his floor is Iguodala?...

Some will get better, like HOU and MEM, and the other not bad enough for this year's roster + 2 vets to pass them...Aging or not, spurs wouldn't be passing the PG12/Harden/Nephew Clippers, Curry's Warriors or Lebron-AD Lakers who will always find a way to reshape the roster. And we can forget MIN,...

1798000205763350883 Not the best of vibes…only way I’m content with getting him is if it’s at #8 and we get a shooter like Sheppard at 4.

Salaun and Knecht are top tier fits with Wemby at their median outcome. Timvp got to move them up over these guards that can easily be drafted over.

Interesting... If you extrapolate Topic's shots at the rim out to 34 games, that would be 343-- which would be roughly equivalent to the combined totals of Dillingham + Sheppard + Collier. What do you make of that number?

I have not been high on Salaun, and he's still not one of my favourite picks, but this Sam Vecenie podcast breaks down his game pretty thoroughly and makes an interesting case for him as a top ten pick in this weak draft. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpGyquTjAWg I had ChatGPT summarize the...

Attendance At Non-Caitlin Clark WNBA Games Proves Angel Reese Was Totally Wrong (msn.com) Oh what a surprise.

Lmao Giddey. OKC had four shooters around him and he still got benched in Mavs series. Shot 3/16 from deep over 7 games. And you'd start him together with Sochan. :lmao Not to mention that he's got just one year left on his rookie deal and would have to be extended. And yeah, he likes...

Lets be honest, the spurs do trades - but they don't do a lot of trades, but since this is just an exercise lets see --. We need to improve or defense so that's where we should start. Pick 4 Castle Pick 8 & Charlotte 1st + Wesley Trade to OKC for J. Giddey & #12 Draft Devin Carter at 12...

I don't want to claim the Spurs will make the PO next season, but I don't agree the Spurs had no shot at all. the Rockets were close last season and they managed to improve from 22 to 41 wins. their steps and moves in the off season are in a range the Spurs might manage to achive as well. I get...

The plan was always Sidy. They had agreed to draft him,and give him an NBA contract so that he could pay his buyout in Spain instead of a 2way. All that being said, I don’t think either of these players have a real NBA future. Sidy’s shot looks irreparably broken, and on an absolute tanking...

One year after drafting Sidy Cissoko, I'm curious about peoples' thoughts on how he compares with Rayan Rupert, the player drafted right before him. Did we get the better prospect or should we still regret that we weren't able to get Rupert instead?
