Robert Covington...

[JakeCuenca]

Such a shame that this dude wont make the all-star game but hes been the wolves best player since the trade. A defensive monster so far.

Where would you rank him right now among elite role players whosw value is probably star level?

":cry B...but trading for DeRozan was better than trading for Covington, Saric (and probably a draft pick) :cry"

White, Green, Covington, Saric, Aldridge wouldn't be a sub-500 team right now. In fact, they are probably fighting for the first spots the way the West is looking this year. I mean, if the Clippers are up there.

And if they didn't, it doesn't matter. Covington and Saric are better pieces to build with in the future than DeRozan.

[JakeCuenca]

Aldridge-Saric-Covington-Green-White is probably top 5 in defensive ceiling in the NBA.

The spurs need to hire new scouts ASAP.

[DAF86]

White, Green, Covington, Saric, Aldridge

Mills, Anderson, Gay, Bertans, Gasol

7 above average defenders, 2 average defenders and just 1 below average defender. Only 1 non-shooting threat.

Easily a playoffs team. Probably top 4.

PATFO really has been screwing up with FA/trades/ etc since 2016. They still draft very well thus why I want a high lo pick but they will screw up the tank too.

The dude sucked in the playoffs. Like hardcore. There's a reason why the 76ers lost to Boston and it's Robert Covington. It's been 5 games in, remember that in the first 5 games in Derozan was averaging 29 points a game and 7.5 assists.
Saric though is a baller. I want him on the Spurs. I don't think the wolves can afford him tbh. They have Towns, Wiggins, and Teague along with other scrubs they signed for big money. We just need to figure out a way to get the cash for him (bye bye Gasol)

And? :lol The sun shines on a dog's ass every once in a while. Covington ain't worthy of more than 4 all star votes. Yours and 3 blind mice. -25 points for even posting this thread son. :lol

T'Mutts vs Sp*rs. Best of 7. Who you got? :downspin:

not sure I agree with that tbh...

for the future yeah probably but short term I believe DeRozan is more impactful than this duo especially without Murray..

Team would be lacking ball handling with a SL in the likes aldridge, saric, covington, white and green

I know hes a good defender but what makes you say this?..eye test or some advanced stats or something

Don't know. Both are equally shitty.

[spurraider21]

i felt like the only person defending covington as a good player during the kawhi trade discussions...

good to see casuals like OP picking up on it

[RsxPiimp]

killa u my guy but everyone is overpaid to u these days. this aint 1996 no more homie.:lol

[spurraider21]

overpaid relative to the cap? people are still looking at player's salaries as if the cap was 65-70 mil. he's the same cap burden that danny green was on his 4 year deal. he's adequately paid

[HarlemHeat37]

Covington would have been terrible with the Spurs and Aldridge-ball..he has the same offensive limitations as Danny Green..

Which means he would still be better than most of our current players, tbh.

That's not saying much:lol

All the stupid posters upstairs would have turned on him after his first slump..

yeah pretty much. $10 mil for a glue guy/niche defensive player is about right in the current era
