DET and CHA winnnnnnnn! Let’s goooooo

I don’t know about that…(the board hating the move - I remember being pissed and everyone talking about his spacing and how his deal was fair etc..). Agree he’s not as good as Jak but shooters are valued much differently than non-scoring Centers..

Over under: Spurs make 1.5 trades this trade deadline?

I didn’t want Ayton. I saw some paths where it maybe made sense but Ayton was a number one pick, played a good role on a title team and looks to have a solid offensive game which changes the variable at Center when doing comparisons. So, I get why some would rather pay Ayton 20M vs Jak 10M - it...

I think it is for a few reasons: We are already seeing some “talk” about Jaks slippage on defense and how that may or may not impact value. Another year or two of that + looking at a large pay raise? Does not bode well *possibly*. It’s just an unnecessary risk IMO especially because with or without...

That is where we disagree. You’d think we would have learned this lesson with everyone saying the same thing about the Doug signing while I was immediately pissed off about it calling it stupid lol. Another season like this where his numbers (especially defensively) sink due to circumstances?...

I think that is what Keldon/Tre are for….Have Sochan/Vassell core and the next draft pick or two and use Keldon + ATL picks etc to land a star like CLE did.

I think the downside is Centers don’t really get that much typically and we run the risk of Jak getting hurt or having a down year and now its viewed as a “meh to bad deal”. I think there’s more than a zero % chance that is the case. Look at the defense this year and how it may hurt his value and...

It’s not a money “issue” really- it’s just asset management. If you can net extra picks and pay Jakob the money Doug/Zach were already going to be paid? It’s turns it into “free” money for SA. That first year of Jak is now functionally free for SA (which doesn’t matter for cap purposes but matters...

Doesn’t matter who we are paying; like Doug, it just does not make sense to tie up any salary like that IMO unless the player is really worth it in context. If you aren’t winning and a player is aging compared to rebuild core, you don’t anchor large deals regardless of cap situation IMO vs...

I get it - BUT SA needs to think looooooong and hard if they want to pay a Center; albeit a very good player, 20-25M a year in this league. Especially when you aren’t winning or contending. I like Jakob and if we can move Zach+Doug for picks then I definitely am ok keeping Jak since it makes...

Collins' jack of all trades, master of non type style is a better fit since it'd make it easier to plumb the depth's of Wembanyama's versatility. The idea would be to make Wembanyama the day one centerpiece of the offense, not some stay-in-your-lane finisher like most of these other hybrid bigs.

As usual, the Poeltl discourse sways too far in either direction. Trade him at all costs. This team needs as many assets and "bites at the apple" as it can get. He's not a "good fit next to Wembanyama" because the third big in this hypothetical, Sochan, also can't shoot which means the guy...

If Spurs trade Devin I will be upset lol and deal is off lmao!

Good - f Bally Sports. They can piss off…completely stupid that local fans don’t have a way to watch every game for cheaper/free
