^Agree. But I like what I’m seeing from J-Rich. I like his tenacity and being vocal. He kinda reminds me of Bruce coming by way of Miami and Boston also and found a home in San Antonio.
I hope Pop starts him the rest of the year to boost his value. I think playing next to Richardson will help Vassell's development, and I think it's overall a different look than with McDermott out there. Doug would make sense off the bench too, and hopefully Pop can avoid having as many mixed units as he played last night.
Well, if we're trying to make rhe play-in then that's the best route to get there.... if we want a higher pick then we play younger guys... I think tonight we'll choose a path...
They won’t move Vassell on a rookie contract having played <140 games. If they were that ‘fish or cut bait’ Lonnie would have been gone 2 years ago.
We're talking about 2 different things...you're envisioning a scenario where we're dumping him for, at most, a minor asset....I'm envisioning a scenario where we're buying on a high end talent and he's part of the package we are sending out in the acquisition..
^Agree. Nobody is untouchable for the right trade, except for Murray maybe. The better our players play the remaining of the season, the more they add to their value, and as possible part to a package. It would be interesting how the PATFO will treat each player come off-season to get closer to that ideal roster that can finally compete.
He's not a priority but I kinda liked him back. Seems a good reliable veteran player (still young tho) both offense and defense.
He looks lost with Celtics probably due to Tatum and Brown's ball dominance.
Richardson turns 29 this year and is in the prime of his career. He’s a good trade asset, and I hope the Spurs treat him as such.
He’s not part of the Spurs’ future so I hope we flip him either this Summer or early next season. He’s a valuable commodity for a contending team.
One 30 piece to end the season and ST will proclaim him near untouchable.
JRich on the right team is very valuable though. Not sure we can build that right team in short order so both sides are inclined to get his trade value up.
Dudes are gymnast on this board..lol! First he’s trash but now he’s an asset…….. please make up your minds!!!��
I am really starting to enjoy J Rich in a Spurs uniform. He is probably one of the most solid players we have received in a trade in some time that wasn't completely past his prime. On the other hand we could probably get something pretty decent from him, he would be a damn good piece for a contender.
I'm thinking the offers over the summer will be crap, so we can kind of see how our season is going, and if we decide to move him, teams are motivated and compe ive at the trade deadline, so the offers will be much better. Win/win.
Brian Wright really improved the team while getting 2 first round draft picks for it
he's certainly been better than i thought he would be to this point.
Him getting to beat up on these tanking teams is increasing his value
I’d rather keep Richardson and eradicate McBuckets. But lots of variables, et cetera.
I cant imagine Doug is worth much on the trade market given his contract. Prolly an expiring plus a second rounder. Maybe a very late or far away first with heavy protections.
i actually forgot he was on our team lol
It’s been kind of nice, right? I mean, nice guy and all but…
said the same thing about patty/bonner too
You people keep thinking that a contract with 2 years at $14M/yr is bad for a player with a desired skill. It's not. This isn't 10 years ago when that kind of deal would clog your cap. There are teams that will be absolutely interested this summer. As has been stated repeatedly, he needs to play with an offensive player with a high level of gravity, a superstar. He might shoot 46-48% in those cir stances. In our egalitarian offense, it's too easy to chase him off the line. or deny him the ball. Even in those cir stances, he's shooting 40% from long.
He's already being paid fairly so he doesn't have much surplus value so why should teams attach major assets for him?
I could see a Thad Young style deal with Doug and Lakers pick being packaged for a first this year. Memphis has three firsts and would make a ton of sense. Almost any contender picking at the end of the first would make sense for such a deal.
I'm for keeping Richardson. He's starting to be great off the bench, lots of production. Most important, he's not shy to shoot. No wind-up, not convincing himself, just does it. Can even be a decent vet presence in that regard. Just shoot, guys.
yea and maybe the spurs can keep him around for less then that 12 mil after next season
