'Taller Forbes', lmao.

[baseline bum]

Fuck him

[HarlemHeat37]

Well, at least he'll be an upgrade from 2017-2018 Kawhi:lol

[daslicer]

How depressing.

[Mr. Body]

He's gonna hate playing defense

[NASpurs]

Hopefully he'll enjoy dumping the ball to LMA in the post 90% of the time.

[spurraider21]

better kyle anderson

[BSfromTX]

Maybe Brandon Ingram is what Kawhi would have been had he gone to Charlotte?

I'm sure that gets some attention, but seriously, maybe Spurs can develop Ingram similar to what they have done with Kawhi? If nothing else, you would be able to evaluate half of that theory over 3-4 years with the Spurs

[CP48107]

:lol

[SuperCam]

he grew up in kinston which is a rotting city compared to even most in this state. i dont think he will mind SA like some diva stars would tbh...

Maybe, but the thing about Kawhi is that he was already an ELITE defensive player in year 2 and a great rebounder for his position..at the very least, you could already see that he could be a Shawn Marion/3rd guy on a title team, even if his offense never improved..

Same with Paul George, he was already a special defender by year 2..

I don't mind Ingram, despite not being a fan right now..it's the rest of the package that sucks..

[Pavlov]

He did improve markedly in his second season. I can understand why people don't want to trade with the Lakers but the chances the Spurs get a franchise player back from anyone is pretty much zero.

Any offense and especially decent shooting would be welcome at this point.

[Seventyniner]

Too early.

But unfortunately not by much.

[Marcus Bryant]

Fuck him

If we can develop Ingram's defense it actually doesn't look terrible. Thing is does he have the same drive Kawhi does to be great. My guess is no.

Ingram (18) was also 2 years younger than Kawhi was (20) when he was first drafted. Obviously doesn't mean that he's going to have the same trajectory or even close, but it's not exactly and apples to apples comparison to compare the performance of both players at year 2

Obviously kawhi doesn't either. but you are doubting ingram..look up his offseason workout vid from this offseason. Hes working.

Hopefully in the weight room. He needs to fill out and gain like 30-40lbs of muscle

[picnroll]

How about Outhouse of Brian Ingram. That hasn’t been taken yet.

[KDKSpurs24]

Hopefully in the weight room. He needs to fill out and gain like 30-40lbs of muscle
Can’t do that. He wouldn’t be able to move with it. I’d say 15 pounds of muscle max for this 3rd year. Hopefully builds a little more athleticism somehow.

Hopefully the Spurs hire tholdren to train him..

[KDKSpurs24]

better than kyle anderson

no doubt

Their skill sets are almost completely opposite from each other

[AFBlue]

Durant 2.0?

Durant 2.0?

Maybe not, but makes a lot more sense than the comments above . . .

(I don't think I've seen anyone get a "10" in potential from NBADraft.net.)

I think NBADraft.net automatically gives Duke players 10s in potential.

:lolthis was good.

[dbestpro]

He's destined to be another Darius Miles.

[John B]

I believe in the Spurs system. Spurs can get Kyle serviceable. This guy has 7’3” wingspan and has bulked up considerably. Then again a trade to Lakers locks up LeBron signing. So fuck that.

LeBron's like what 40? Who cares. By the time we're done picking our gifts and developing this guy/Murray we may even be contenders again

Has he?

If he can get a decent set of handles ala KD at his size, how is that not a plus? Dude is on his way to becoming a match up nightmare.

[tim_duncan_fan]

Dude isn't even 21 yet.

Is he at full height?

He has potential. I want to see what the organization can do with it.

[superbigtime]

do not want

[-21-]

I know nothing about Ingram off the court, I think he's a good basketball player but every time I look at him I can't help but think of JR Smith and Michael Beasley... :lol

Two talented players who couldn't get their shit together. Idk, don't judge a book by its cover I guess. :lol

You'd rather have Fultz or Jaylen Brown? I'd take Ingram over either of those. Brown and Tatum both seem massively overrated right about now, and only Brown seems available anyway.

Watch the film and you will change your mind. Nothing special about Ingram. His defense is Forbes like. I was really impressed with Saric. He plays hard like Manu but as a PF. Don't take my word. Go look at the film.

He played really well against KD last season, He's going to surprise a lot of Spurs fans.

[BatManu20]

Yes, I’d rather have the option where we don’t help the Lakers build a Superteam. And as far as we know, Jaylen Brown isn’t even on the table right now.

[cd021]

Well, at least he'll be an upgrade from 2017-2018 Kawhi:lol

:lol Kawhi was way better in 9 games than Ingram has been at any point in his NBA career.

[cd021]

Yeah, Ingram's defense is pretty horrid. People focus on his long arms but it hasn't helped him any on that end.

The Heat's 2021 1st is the main asset in a trade with the Sixers tbh.

I like Brown, seems very Spurs-like, but I agree that Ingram's ceiling is higher. Tatum would be great but the Celtics aren't moving him. I think Ainge is being hesitant with Brown too.

No way I'm trading with the Lakers unless they offer something like Ingram+Kuzma+Ball(move him for another asset)+picks. They have to blow the Spurs away with their offer because they're at a disadvantage being the Spurs rivals.

[baseline bum]

Maybe not, but makes a lot more sense than the comments above . . .

(I don't think I've seen anyone get a "10" in potential from NBADraft.net.)

They did give Curry (http://www.nbadraft.net/players/eddy-curry) an 11 in potential though.

Somebody please burn this basilica to the ground

[Spurs9]

I think he will be a Spur soon.

This is why I put the odds at a trade with the Sixers/Celts/Lakers at <50%. The Lakers are playing hardball since the news Kawhi wants LA was floated (Magic thinks he can just wait a year and get him as a FA without giving up anything), and the Celtics are likely ok with what they have considering they made it so far with their best 2 players on the shelf. Sixers likely just want LeBron and don't want to trade away any of their core (besides maybe dangling the redundant Fultz now that Simmons has emerged as a superstar). And Spurs want none of the 2nd rate goods/would try to patch things up with Leonard versus trade for crap.

rofl Eddy Curry. Dude was a joke in terms of desire to be great


Tyson Chandler's description was pretty accurate though. Great role player, not really HOF/superstar but damn good career.

Yeah I'd rather have ingram too. I don't get the fultz love

[KDKSpurs24]

I like Fultz. I see his shiftiness and he seems like he has a plethora of scoring moves but I don’t trust his shot or confidence to stay in tact. Ingram on the other hand.. his only concern for me is his durability. After watching several vids I see that he has a lot of potential and a pretty good feel for the game. I think if Spurs can land him he’ll become really good under their development.

he can't shoot 3s and is in general a bad player. He doesn't pass the eye test. He has probably reached his ceiling as far as ppg.

[rascal]

Don't want this skinny guy on the Spurs. He is not that great of a trade target for Leonard.

[Mr. Body]

Stoned. You mean stoned.

I would rather have Mikal Bridges than Ingram.

Welcome new Spur franchise player :toast

Please let this basilica still be constructed. Otherwise we get Tobias Harris or some other useless shit

Would happily take Ingram at this point tbh. Hopefully they don't fucking settle for some bullshit package centered around Kuzma tbh.

I think he has high upside, I think he would fit in great. We basically played without Kawhi all last season, its all additions at this point. Maybe Ingram actually talks.

[Thebesteva]

I don’t see lakers giving up BI or Kuz for Kiwi. Maybe lonzo :lol

[BD24]

That faggot zo is "injured" and can't be traded anyway. I don't think the Spurs trade Kawhi without BI in the package. Honestly someone will give them a better package than Zo, doubtful we trade him to the Lakers without BI in the package. Think Spurs would hold onto him for the season before they made a trade centered around any other faggots.

Ingram isn't going to be Kawhi great obviously, but he could be a future all star. Like you said, we won nearly 50 last year without Kawhi playing any additions are a plus to what we had last year.

Why can't they trade him? It's a known injury, so that would factor into the value.

[Budkin]

Spurs aren't trading Kawhi to the Lakers, period.

I suppose, would rather not have that faggot and the circus that comes with him though.

[BD24]

I think you may be wrong there. We aren't competing for a title in the near future. Might as well get some young pieces to start the rebuild. Ingram is probably the best value we are going to get with that ass hole Kawhi saying he only wants to go to LA.

[KDKSpurs24]

Spurs aren't trading Kawhi to the Lakers, period.
I dong think that’s true. They will definitely consider it.

[spurraider21]

i just dont think the lakers have the pieces to put together an enticing offer even if they wanted to

[BD24]

i just dont think the lakers have the pieces to put together an enticing offer even if they wanted to
Are we getting a better offer than something centered around Ingram though at this point?

Who can make that offer? Philly could at one point, but why would they give up piece for a one year rental of Kawhi? with LBJ in LA I think its a safe bet that Kawhi tries to join him there next year. If there is other teams willing to make a better package than one centered around Ingram I am all for that, but I don't see it.

[SAGirl]

Lakers aren't offering Ingram currently. Things have gotten cold right now.
