[ducks]

Could explain his shooting

[John B]

Oh man we need all the athleticism we have against long Boston players. Maybe LW4/Metu gets called up?

No need to call anyone up, we have pau

[Uriel]

That explains his recent performances. Dude just can’t stay healthy.

[Kobe'sAchilles]

Bonner probably lent him his new iPhone

[phxspurfan]

Man I'm good

[DAF86]

Left wrist? Suck it up and play, tbh.

[DAF86]

I don't want to see Dante :(

:D

It seems like we can have way better at Pau's position...

The fuck? We don't need another center, imho.

Since LMA is a PF and Gasol is old af..I would say we need a good center.

Aldridge is a center in today's NBA.

Aldridge is a center in today's NBA.
You should know that LMA is on the trading block since..2016! :lol

This rumor about Vucevic is from CBS...Wouldn't build credibility.

"For the Spurs, Vuc’s fit is questionable, but it would add some more firepower to a rather ineffective offense."

??????????????

Here comes Luka.

[marinoman]

Here comes Luka.
Nah he’s too valuable, according to the article smith jr. should be our target

[Proxy]

maybe pop just wants rudy rested for nephew

[BackHome]

Wish they would call up Been Moore up.

[tbdog]

DD isn't grttubgbtesded this year and I think he stays a spur for a few more years.

[JeffDuncan]

DD isn't grttubgbtesded this year and I think he stays a spur for a few more years.

Are you sure? I thought he looked very grttubgbtesded in the last two games.

lol, phone typing.

[lmbebo]

Here comes Luka.

Uhh, basically says that the Spurs go into Tank mode with Smith JR ...to help the mavs with DDR

[RC_Drunkford]

Lmao @ these trade scenarios that make 0 sense. We need an SF. Especially cause Gay is injury prone and even with him healthy we need one. Spurs should go get Bazemore

[cd021]

Since LMA is a PF and Gasol is old af..I would say we need a good center.

Why is Aldridge a PF?

[John B]

:D

Former USC player like Demar. Is there a connection? Younger than Aldridge and a beast at the board. Hmmm

[cd021]

The fuck? We don't need another center, imho.

I would really be annoyed by adding Vuc. Probably would include Gasol and the Raps pick in a potential trade but I would rather Aldridge and Poeltl split up the 5 minutes and Gay and Bertans do the same at PF.

[jermaine]

Why is Aldridge a PF?

He's to pussy to be a full time center. He cant handle it while he get paid millions.

[Mugen]

:lol are some of you dumb AF, Lamarcus has literally played Center for most of the season

[bklynspursfan]

Just be ready for nephew. can't miss that game

[ismael-robert]

And he hates it...he does not want to be a center

[Texas_Ranger]

Nah he’s too valuable, according to the article smith jr. should be our target

i know. the mavs are not as retarded as atlanta.

ugh smith jr... I just don't trust players that have jr smith in their name.

It's hard to see how that gets a done. Maybe if they like mills we could do a mills + pay for vuc + Fournier? Not sure either team would do that. Maybe if Orlando wants a look at Kanter there could be some 3 team deal... it's just seems like an odd trade fit.

[playbonner15]

[SpurPadre]

Gay needs to take this game off so his wrist can heal in time to bitch slap nephew, tbh.

[SpurPadre]

:lol are some of you dumb AF, Lamarcus has literally played Center for most of the season

And he fucking hates it.

[offset formation]

And he fucking hates it.

I keep seeing posters saying this, and think this is a carryover from earlier in his career when he preferred hanging out on the wings. I think some of that thinking changed for him last year and he's been killing it in the deep post lately. In fact, I think his game has taken back off again this year when he started pounding it inside again and not settling for his 15-18 ft jumpers.

He is burying people down there. So far this year, he has outplayed most of his counterparts at least once, including AD, Jokic, KAT, Capela, every center on the Clippers, Lakers, and GSW, etc.

So even though this had merit once, I don't know that it still does. He seems as happy as he ever has been here and with Coach Pop. He recently said he would like to play out his career here if the Spurs wanted him. So until I see otherwise, I'm calling bunk on this.

I wish Walker hadn't gotten hurt and had developed into a stud already. Would have loved to see Walker best Nephew. Like... we've already got a younger badass that can match some of what was lost.

[spurs10]

Bummer about Rudy. We will see!

[TimmyBuckets]

idk if we can win this one w/out Rudy. B3rtans gonna need to step up big time

[cd021]

:lol are some of you dumb AF, Lamarcus has literally played Center for most of the season

He played 55% of his total minutes at C last season too. He's been a center for a season and a half already.

[cd021]

And he fucking hates it.

He's already played center for a season and a half and hasn't complained about it since. Thats not really true, obviously.

It would have to be Mills and Gasol, if they wanted Fournier and Vuc plus a 1st. Not crazy about that deal.

[TimmyBuckets]

Rudy officially out.

[phxspurfan]

Spurs FO loves them some soft Euro bigs

[ismael-robert]

Lma stated to pop he didn't wanna play center. Hes only filling role cause we got no one else worth doing it or they're hurt

[dbestpro]

Vucevic and Ross for Gasol, Cunningham, Pondexter, and a combination of draft picks.

[Seventyniner]

Vucevic and Ross for Gasol, Cunningham, Pondexter, and a combination of draft picks.

Doesn't make sense imo. The Spurs started to blossom when they played kind of small with Aldridge as a full-time C. Aldridge, Vucevic, and Poeltl on the same team forces the Spurs to play big almost all the time. That could work, but it would make the team change its stripes mid-season.

The Spurs players involved are certainly expendable, but a defensive wing is a far higher priority.

spur doesn’t need gay

They will on Thursday against the Devil, tbh.

Add Embiid and Horford to that list

That article seems like it was written assuming the Spurs were gonna get swept this week. Could really use Rudy tomorrow, but the team hasn't exactly suffered a bunch of losses. It's just a weird-ass article.

[duncan2150]

Rudy Gay (wrist) is being listed as probable for Wednesday's game in Dallas.



Good news

[TDomination]

yay! stay healthy rudy (if thats even possible)

[ceperez]

Man, if Rudy Gay can't stay healthy come playoff time, Spurs will just have to call it a season.

[cd021]

Gay back, Gasol back to bench tbh. Win-win.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Looks like he's coming back tomorrow against the Mavs. This team lost its spark when he was out

[BackHome]

Well it’s not his shooting wrist so that’s good.

[John B]

He energizes the team tbh, and one of the more athletic player Spurs have.

[Fireball]

Looks like he's coming back tomorrow against the Mavs. This team lost its spark when he was out

others said it ... he creates mismatches which also helpes Derozan a lot

[Dingle Barry]

Yeah, pretty weird to describe two teams as "all the other teams" who beat us.

[SouthTexasRancher]

We need Rudy back in the starting lineup for the chemistry factor. We get off to a better start with him compared to Gasol.He helps with the spacing and he has high BB IQ. DeRozan seems to need Rudy the most.
