I don’t remember him publicly calling fragile Demar’s poor shot selection or ball hogging. I think he decides who to call out. I think Keldon will respond well to it.
Keldon is a fine as a 3rd or 4th option on the team. Think a Jae Crowder type. But he's not going to do well if he has to be the 1st or 2nd option. Maybe he can improve on that going forward. I think Keldon will be a good piece to keep around, but looking at his games without DJM out there isn't a good judge of what he brings, IMO.

I mostly agree. I see more upside with Devin now. Keldon looks like a future solid starter in the league which is still great value at has draft position.
I need Keldon to really focus on defense….he’s a damn turnstile right now��. He’s a hard worker and hopefully he gets that cleaned up.
everyone on team usa should relinquish their medals to durant tbh
It's incredible to think Jayson Tatum is only 23 years old-- he's been in the league 5 years and feels like a vet, but he's younger than Chris Duarte, John Collins, and De'Andre Hunter.
I'm not bothered by his temperament or politics just like I'm not bothered by player who are opposite than he is in those areas. Injury concerns are what I'd be focused on. If our medical staff is good with what they see I'd seriously consider making a run at him.
I don't think Murray is someone you exclude from trade talks, I don't see him on that level. I just think if he's included you're talking about a bigger package targeting a higher level player in return.
i would definitely exclude murray from trade talks (realistic trade talks) as well as devin and primo.
Who the Spurs should put on the table depends entirely on who the other team puts on the table. Nobody on the roster is untradeable for the right deal.
That's true for at least 95% of players in the league.
Keldon is super young and has some great qualities but yeah his D is awful at times and he needs to learn how to be a more willing passer. Must be said though, he's playing way undersized at his position so roster construction and coaching should shoulder the blame for his shortcomings as well.
I noted last game how much he looks like Barkley
Exactly this. Love the growth from Murray but would I trade him for Stephen Curry? Yeah. Jokic? yeah. But those types of trades never happen.
Would I trade him for Sabonis? No. Would I trade him for a top 10 pick? no. Folks don’t understand the level DJ is playing at right now. Top picks getting traded for players rarely happen anyway, but people still fantasize about it.
Folks don’t get the concept of team building. You don’t always have to start at zero. When you finally have something great, you add onto that and not take it away. The Spurs have enough assets elsewhere on the roster if they want to make a splash while maintaining their vision for the team. The team has had enough setbacks since Kawhi; either developing the current roster into a playoff team or landing a lottery pick in the summer are both big steps forward when you realize you’re adding to a nice starting piece in Murray, and potentially another core piece in Primo or Vassell.
Last night was a dominant night by Murray, and if he keeps it up, he may be the best two way guard in the NBA. Let’s get him some help.

Keldon' s shooting streak has been keeping him in the games as a starter, but that has to end. I mean his place as a starter, not just the shooting streak. He is a low BB IQ player and keeps making the same mistakes over and over without learning from them [driving into a lane full of defenders, horrible passing, poor defense, and the list goes on]. You can't keep a spot as a starter in the NBA by screaming like you are exceptional when you make an occasional good basket. His best basketball talent seems to be high energy, but that doesn't work if that's the best you got.
Pop has a problem in taking him off the first team as long as he's on this shooting streak, but just wait until he cools off. Devin would be my choice to replace him at SF.
So talking about how they're in a better place than the Spurs are has nothing to do with their capability? Duly noted. No admittance yet... I'm eager to see how you'll spin their next ECF appearence, or dare I say even, next ring, into ting on the Spurs instead of giving them their dues. Popcorn material to be sure.
If blind by ego as you are, you're the non-casual... I'm fine where I'm at, tbh
No, because they wouldn't be in that place if not for their usual luck. If S bag didn't intentionally tank his value and they even wanted to enter the conversation for him, one of Siakam or Anunoby + at least another 1st would have had to be in the package.So talking about how they're in a better place than the Spurs are has nothing to do with their capability?

If Ujiri's incessant whining about their predicament last season (like the league could do anything about it) didn't result in them conveniently (he is buddies with Silver) having lottery luck to move up to 4, they wouldn't have Barnes.
You're clearly a closet Raptors fan (Canadian?). No self respecting Spurs fan would want to see that franchise succeed.
LOL. The Raptors both before and after Kahwi do alot of things well as an organization. Taking a chance on Kahwi was not luck, it was a calculated risk. Getting the 4th pick was not draft lottery nepotism, it was luck; clearly communicated/known chance, probability and luck.
Be mad at Kawhi for being a , or PATFO for being stubborn and making a poor trade when there probably were better options available but the hate for Raptors is sus.

The Raptors were stagnant team who annually embarrassed themselves in the playoffs in a weak conference, who's entire perception and reputation inexplicably changed thanks to an unprecedented confluence of factors/luck: S bag's antics, the Spurs losing their minds, prior front office relationships (Buford and Ujiri; Wright and Webster), being out of conference and the Warriors being decimated by injury.
A "chance"? All they had to give up to be a Curry/Durant injury away (and they were due) from a tainted championship was to salary dump an unwanted, pseudo star, a low end starting center and a pick destined to be 27th-30th.
But that's not why I can't stand them. It's their arrogance/inferiority complex, being in bed with national media big wigs who incessantly slurp them, screwing over supposed friends when they were going to make a heist of a "trade" either way and unending luck.
Dude, you have a weird obsession with Ujiri and the Raptors.The Raptors were stagnant team who annually embarrassed themselves in the playoffs in a weak conference, who's entire perception and reputation inexplicably changed thanks to an unprecedented confluence of factors/luck: S bag's antics, the Spurs losing their minds, prior front office relationships (Buford and Ujiri; Wright and Webster), being out of conference and the Warriors being decimated by injury.

The thing is, most of you are just Spurs fans as opposed to NBA fans, so you don't see/hear a lot of the things I do.
He seems to have a problem with both Brits and Canadians lol. I get it though. When dudes fk my ex and I subsequently watch her leave them to fk the next guy I have an inferiority complex also.
The Raptors screwing over “their supposed friend” tells me this knucklehead needs to learn life.
For asking someone if they were Canadian? I have no inferiority complex, just a BS meter that detects that the Warriors and Raptors are the epitome of everything that's wrong with today's NBA.
Nah, it tells me you don't get how this business works. There's a difference between wielding leverage and screwing someone over.
They did it again last season. Not trading their supposed all-time player, who wanted to get traded, to a would be contender because if they couldn't screw someone over, then it wasn't worthwhile.
Who are you talking about? Lowry?
Yeah. Those clowns turned down Maxey and had the audacity to demand Herro. As if the Heat were going to trade a young, core piece for a less than half season of a declining player they were clearly destined to end up with anyway.
