The Next Round of Disgruntled Players

[Sugus]

I love AD's talent. Easily the best big man in the game, but he's made of glass.

Giannis says hi...

[R. DeMurre]

Giannis says hi...

As does Mr Jokic.

[baseline bum]

I knew a few people close to the pels through a bank I use that would bring me to games there and put me either Courtside or in their box. My understanding was AD didn't really have a problem with the Nola market, his problem was with Demps inability to build a contender around him. That doesn't mean he'd have SA on his radar but I don't think he'd necessarily exclude us if we could show him how we'd surround him with talent.

Mitc and AD would be who I'd pursue from the list in this thread.

It's funny how Jrue Holiday was a monster in Milwaukee's le run but wasn't enough for Davis.

[baseline bum]

Giannis says hi...

Jokic too. And Embiid.

[baseline bum]

No one else bothered by Beal's nerve problems that caused his three point shooting to tank? How do you fix that ?

[Sugus]

Jokic too. And Embiid.

Yeah, Giannis was just the first one that came to mind, lol. Is AD even a top 5 big man talent in the league anymore? I'm not too sure, tbh, and his constant injuries are just the cherry on that -stained top.

I'd put a healthy AD near the top, when healthy, but he's never healthy.

Certainly Giannis and Jokic would be considered 1 and 2...or 2 and 1. Sorry, I didn't really think through my post other than the fact I don't like AD and don't want him on the Spurs. But yeah, there are at least a couple of guys who'd rate higher in the big man category.

[BacktoBasics]

He appears very humble and quite generous. Things have gone off track at the early stages but why do you say this? Also Durant in a relative sense is fairly admirable. Shows up for work, is a good teammate. Wins.

He's a ty teammate. Self centered, pussy.

[exstatic]

Murray if Pop sends all the draft picks to G league. Well unless Spurs sign a couple of high level players to help him out but Spurs aren't a prime destination for those type of player signings

All joking aside I don't see Murray as a lifer unless Spurs FO can convince him to stay with building a compe ive team because Murray is the type that wants to be compete and staying in mediocrity would make him very restless.

They have alumni nights in Austin that honored DJ, White, Keldon, and Lonnie. The NBA guys buzz up on off days to support the current rookie(s), and understand the value of assignments there, even if our dumbass fan base doesn’t.

I want no part of any disgruntled players......keep them out of SA. We already dealt with our drama queen, sent her out of the country. I do not want another.

one good thing about having our GLeague team only an hour away is the NBA players can have close relationships with the GLeague players. It also helps that the organization encourages it and even creates it.

I don't know what has happened to him. I thought he finally turned the corner when the Lakers won that bubble championship, but not sure what has happenend since as I don't watch the Lakers much (when people were starting to say he was better than TD after that ring, I kinda got mad, trashed him and haven't looked back since). A few years ago before the Spurs traded Kawhi, I told a friend if I could do a 1 to 1 swap, AD is the only player in the league I would do it for and be happy with that trade. I didn't want Embiid, I didn't want Giannis or any of those other guys. AD had the talent to be the best player in the NBA, but doesn't seem to have the mentality. His body also doesn't seem to hold up. Having said that, I'd still take a chance on him.

[Mr. Body]

I'd rather have gruntled players.

[tim_duncan_fan]

I wouldn't spend big money on anyone that isn't an All-NBA player or soon-to-be All-NBA younger than 26, tbh.

Your Lilliards and Beals and even ADs BARELY move the needle more than Dejounte. Even Demar, who is playing lights out, is still fool's gold when the time comes. I wouldn't get too over the moon about anyone available, tbh.

[RC_Drunkford]

the thing with AD is you could actually play him at the 4 with Poeltl at the 5. The defense would be amazing for the 40 games AD plays every season
