[Seventyniner]

Kornet has never averaged more than the 18.6 MPG he played last season and he appeared in 73 games, including 9 games with at least 30 minutes and 8 more with at least 25. That's perfect for Wemby's backup and occasional spot starter.

[Kindergarten Cop]

I love the addition of Kornet (and I'm glad that the 4th year is a Team Option)!

:toast Dverde - this is by far my favorite new player thread title in the history of SpursTalk.

LFG! I love this signing

[Ice009]

This guy seems to be such a cool/fun guy, I'd like to see him start a podcast. Maybe a podcast with Steph as I think in that Faze video/podcast Steph said he was interested in showing some behind the scenes, training (not sure if this would be allowed due to team strategy) and locker room stuff (not sure if this is allowed either).

They should both focus on basketball.

It’s actually technically a ∞% increase.

Excited to have a defensive minded backup center who can keep our defense from going to total shit when Wemby sits.
Hopefully Wemby returns 100% healthy and we only see Kornet for 15-20min per game.

They did in Boston!

[OldMan88]

With the addition of Kornet, we could have a scary 5 man defensive lineup for end of game situations where the opponent must be prevented from scoring either inside or outside.

I doubt Kornet would be in closing lineups.

Did he play in any crunch time lineups for the Celtics? I don't remember seeing him do so in the games I watched of theirs.

I was wondering if this was another ‘perk’ to pulling Kornet from Boston. Some variation of the ‘pounding the rock’ theme.

[T Park]

IMO not really.

Boston is reloading for next off season when Tatum is healthy.

He'll be healthy cap sheet will look better.

It was a lottery scratch off and its not gonna be great.

should be packaged with the now worthless Atlanta picks

I thought it might hold more value still. So you think they shouldn't hesitate to include it in a trade for the right deal? Would you say it's still more valuable that the Atlanta picks?

[mo7888]

I think the Boston pick looks real good. Who knows how Tatum will recover and Brown looks like he's starting to break down.

[Ice009]

I agree. I don't think it should be traded unless it's a really, really good deal. Definitely don't know how Tatum will bounce back yet.

Just to clarify, we don't have a BOS pick. We have swap rights in 2028, so to trade the BOS swap we'd also have to send out our own first (or swap with some team so that they get the better of SAS/BOS and we get their pick).

My mistake. I meant the swap. Thanks for the clarification.

If trading the pick, I never thought about trading the swap. That would be cool if the Spurs traded the swap for the better of the SAS/BOS so they at least still get a pick.

They are kind of locked together. Boston agreed to swap with us in 2028, figuring a probable place in the standings for both teams. If it were legal to trade the swap to OKC, Boston would face a worst outcome scenario.

What you can do is divide the pie. Depending on what kind of a trade it,is, you can say the team you’re trading with gets the better pick, either unprotected, or with appropriate protection for the trade, 1-4, 1-6, 1-10, whatever.

I wish a reporter had come back with "is that cause #0 was taken?" Kornet seems like the type that would roll with that kind of thing.

Pretty fucking awesome to have a center who is a third of timmy...

and

a coach who is a third of pop!

[Ice009]

I just watched this interview with Luka earlier. Pretty cool interview. Says he spent some of his childhood as a Spurs fan, so it's great to be able to play for the team, but also especially at this current time as the Spurs have some great young talent with Victor, Fox, Castle and now with Dylan joining the team. He said with them being that young, there's some leaps that can be made throughout the course of the season. He seems pretty stoked to be able to play for the team, and just seems excited to help them figure out what works well and how to help them all excel. This guy's really smart.

They also asked him about barking on the court. Said he started doing that the past year when scraping, getting offensive rebounds, hustle plays and stuff to get the team going. lol. That should be funny/cool to see if he brings that to the Spurs.

Luke could be a lot bigger for the team than I thought. Stats definitely don't tell the whole story.

There's no way a full season of Wemby and Kornet doesn't make this team top 5 on defense. The only fear I have (and it's from a YT video that I saw) is if Olynyk is Zach Collins 2.0.

Let's go back to the days when if you didn't play defense, your ass gets pulled out. (RIP Keldon)

I'd love to see an Onion piece involving Tim Duncan and Luke Kornett. All the pieces are there.

For the uninitiated: https://www.mysanantonio.com/sports/spurs/article/25-hilarious-times-Tim-Duncan-became-a-headline-8352087.php

[Strategic]

Sure is nice to have a guy that can be a positive playing in the blocks. If Kornet and Wemby can stay healthy they should be an advantage over Chet and Hartenstein.
