Metu playing himself onto the active roster fulltime
Convince me I'm wrong or being paranoid but I feel like Daryl Morey is gonna finagle him out of PATFO for a sack magic beansQuote:

So maybe the patfo is not that bad at drafting players.

You know that as Metu gets stronger and bulkier, he's going to be a pretty decent player. Spurs should re-sign him.
Can't wait for the Spurs to be mathematically obliterated from the PO race to force Pop into playing the youngins on the main roster. Keldon and Metu at the least look almost there. Should be an interesting roster next season...
Many of the Laker fans were already in SA, but crawled under rocks for a decade. The west coast migration is real and unfortunate in many cases.Quote:

you can't possibly think Pop will change his rotations. He will go with the same starting line up until the season is finished no matter what. They could be 0-81 doesn't matterQuote:

It's a win/win situation though - if Pop gives up, we get a lot of games of seeing what the youth can do. If Pop flexes his powers and continues playing LMA, DD, Forbes 30m+ a night after we're eliminated, it'll be a very bright bad spot and hopefully the drip of water that overfills the glass and leads to his departure.Quote:

...any chance that when all hopes for the 8 seed are gone (probably as soon as the RRD ends, if its an 0-8 run)Pop let the reins of the team to Becky or Timmy and start planning about the olympic summer? Frankly I think that for a man of his age, and that suffered all he suffered recently, the double goal (Spurs and Olympic team) on his mind for all the course of this season could have been too much to stand....
Directive from above? Pop is president of basketball operations for SSE. He works only for the younger Holts, and I doubt they’re wanting to be seen forcing him out. There won’t be any miracle or breakthrough this year.Quote:

So if you want a point to distribute to the young guys, why not bring in a good one?
Almost all gleague players will never play in the NBA, not even for a cup of coffee. The ASpurs signed a number of gleaguers because their PG play was atrocious last year, and they wanted at least competent gleague ball distribution.Quote:

Keldon has some sick fadeaways I've never seen him do. One looked to be a Euro Step to a Fade.
Oh, First quarter was shit. Jarred Jack got a gift foul call on Quinndary
Meh,
Baby Russ
this is what I expect Keldon Johnson to develop in. Once his 3 is falling consistently he will work on all the midrange scoring moves that nephew used to add when he was hereQuote:

It was practically an EMPTY GYM... in the INLAND EMPIRE..... worst I've seen watching the G league this year. The South Bay Lakers Play in basically a Training facility with comedy club seating but this was a full on arena.
I remember the CBA (Continental Basketball Association) I don't know if it was a cultural difference if Era's but those games seemed more fun and the local populous seemed to support those team more. Then again they weren't located in markets with Major League Sports or strong College programs.
I'm really loving the way Q plays man i'm telling you.
Coronavirus already stunting attendance??Quote:

Hard work and diligence have paid dividends for Simmons in his playing career, so you’d have to think that’ll be the case once again as he plays for Golden State. The Warriors are the worst team in the league as they cope with various injuries, so Simmons may have a chance to prove himself against NBA competition as we get deeper into the season.
Rather have him than Bryn as a Starting SHOOTING guard to be honest
Right back where he belongs...

Exactly and no one called his number on offense either like the Spurs do now for Forbes. He really played well against that series against the Rockets while defending Harden and also scoring, shit he even had a solid series against GS in the WCF. I can’t even begin to imagine Forbes in that series against that GS team.Quote:

Gotta see what Simmons can still do before reaching out to him. He was a solid rotational player who thought he was more than what he is. A rotational player-at best!. He can defend, and attack the basket and finish, more than Forbes, DeRozan and maybe even Dejounte. Unfortunately Simmons had a weak 3pt shot, and average ball handling
System player who worked best in a narrow, tightly defined role. When he went elsewhere, and was allowed to freelance, he fell on his face, and is now out of the league. Oh, and if he was such boyz with Deuce, why is he in the gleague now, and not on the Clippers bench?Quote:

What we actually got in that GS series was an inefficient chucker whose team played worse when he was on the floor. He wasn't the worst player on the team for the Spurs in that series, but he was a good sight worse than people on here argue he was.
that's not what you said prior, don't try to change up your statement now. You said Pau is still better than Poeltl not too long ago and you said Pau was better than Poeltl last seasonQuote:
Originally Posted by Chinook

He hasn't officially retired, but he can't stay healthy anymore and was waived by Portland. When he broke his foot last year, it ended his career. I did not know that he was never going to recover back when the board had its argument last year. The games prior to him getting hurt, he averaged 7/6/3 in less than 18mpg and on 52-percent shooting from the floor and 57 percent from three. In the games after he came back, he averaged 3/4/1 in almost 10 minutes while shooting 42 percent and 33 percent from three. He went from being an extremely productive backup for LMA (albeit with a legit exploitable lack of mobility) to a guy unable to play at all.Quote:
Originally Posted by RC_Drunkford

But I was wrong because Pau got worse, not because Poeltl had always been the better option that year like many folks argued. As I said, a healthy Gasol, even being old and lacking mobility was still a better player than Poeltl has been so far in his career. Jakob has some things going for him that make him a good player worth holding onto. But he also has limitations that detract from his effectiveness. I think people overlook those limitations because he's young and they assume he'll find a way to fix them. But I don't see any reason to believe that yet. Poeltl has to be judged for who he is now, and that player isn't better than Pau was before he had his career-ending injury.
Simmons got bounced from 3 different NBA teams. Try to be smarter smarter and chose a legitimate NBA player if you seriously want to have a solid take on here.Quote:
