Good for Kemba.

Not that I'd want Jimmer.

[crc21209]

MJ must really like Kemba....

[GSH]

Couldn't Walker's agent spring for a good suit?

[Das Texan]

I would have rather had Jimmer than Walker.


The only thing I dont like about Walker is his height.

I really like his game other than that.

Jimmer doesnt understand what defense even is, thats a bit worrisome and his passing leaves a bit to be desired.

Granted that may not mean he cant do either, had to just do it all with BYU and they told him not to do anything else.

[Chomag]

Spurs going full lowball once again, guess Spurs were just lucky to have Drob and TD fall into their laps becuase other then that Spurs play it safe and never take risks for rewards.

I count the blessings on how lucky this franchise has been with those 2 HoFers.

It's a hell of a lot better than trading Parker for dogshit. If you trade him for a pick, trade him for one next year when you can land a really nice forward. Then tank 2012-13 for one of Drummond, Austin, or Coleman to play the 5.

Expect them to trade it away for a 2nd round pick because they don't want the guaranteed contract.

I'll roll with a healthy big 3 going into next year, hope Pop doesnt trot Manu out there in the last game of the season to get hurt, and we're good to go. I'm fine with the Big 3, Splitter, Neal, Hill, and Anderson. I could do without Bonner, RJ, and Blair....

Markieff Morris next for the Suns?

spurs need to either blow it up or shake things up to go for another championship. standing pat is not an option unless the spurs like their first round exits. if the spurs think that the only reason they lost last year was because of injuries then they need to wake up. when during the playoffs has manu NOT been injured since 2007? spurs can't rely on their current core.

[crc21209]

:lol Mark Jackson....

[timtonymanu]

So Phoenix takes the less talented brother again.

[ulosturedge]

If the talent level is pretty leveled out then wouldn't we have better chances to get value late this round versus other years? How much more insurance would you have of getting something good at say the 15th spot versus our 29th in a draft like this?

I like that move, and I rather keep Neal than Hill... we're overcrowded at the 2... the question is who are the Spurs picking as backup PG

The Spurs had to move a 2 guard. And Hill sucks donkey testicles running the point.

Backup PG will be the 59th pick...

TJastal suicide watch

[NASpurs]

With Hill gone and Manu's minutes diminishing, it means more minutes for Anderson, Neal and whoever the Spurs want to play at the two.

Spurs take a PG at 29?

[ohmwrecker]

TJastal is somewhere in meltdown mode.

lol TP for Casspi

[Ya Vez]

Dam Knick Fans... lol

[mudyez]

guess dunking the ball is getting you traded

I like the trade, but hoped Singleton would be the guy...but I trust die office!

[spurtech09]

Great news for the mavs...spurs got easier to beat....Hill killed us...now they have a non-shooting SF....god bless sons

:elephantspurs got plenty of good shooters....now the spurs need to trade bonner and rj:downspin:

I believe I called George Hill a mental midget during the playoffs against Memphis.

I liked George, but I'm ok with him gone, if there is any position the spurs could move a player and not really feel it, its from the 2.

James Anderson will be a better player overall than George Hill anyway.

[NASpurs]

now who is going to be our backup pointguard?

Spurs didn't trade their backup point guard.

[jjktkk]

He's registering at Pacersdigest as we speak.

Poor Pacer fans.

[timtonymanu]

I would hate to be drafted by the Knicks.

[benefactor]

Actually I think this makes it a lock for the Spurs to go international at 29.

[timvp]

Hill for Leonard? Hmmmm ... I have to digest this trade. Does it make the Spurs better next season? My first reaction is that it doesn't.

[Das Texan]

Maybe the Spurs somehow convinced the Pacers to take back Dick also.

Chance that Reggie Jackson slips to Miami at 31 much lower now that San Antonio just dealt George Hill. Spurs have the 29th pick.

Hill wasn't a point, we all know it. Neal's rise was Hill's demise.

The Pacers don't get the Spurs 29th pick in the trade.

Nice.

so spurs keep the 29th pick.....

[benefactor]

Spurs will pick up a backup point via free agency.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Spurs also get the 42nd.

[ElNono]

Hill for Leonard? Hmmmm ... I have to digest this trade. Does it make the Spurs better next season? My first reaction is that it doesn't.

If he's willing to play D (and it looks like he is), that's an improvement right there...

The Pacers will also send the 42nd pick in this draft to the Spurs as part of the package to get George Hill, source says.

But if Pop was actually serious about playing defense again, this makes all the sense in the world.

[Spurtacus]

Leonard over Singleton or Hamilton? Fuck that shit. We need a scorer or a guy who can definitely guard the 3 and 4.

[DesignatedT]

Kawhi Leonard and 42nd pick for George Hill. Fine with me.


I guess Spurs will take PG with the 29th. Reggie Jackson or Darius Morris?

[GSH]

so spurs keep the 29th pick.....

Yep. And I'm still afraid we're going to hear the word "Mirotic" when the time comes.
