Naz Reid is not a good rebounder or defender.
crom what I know Max is good. Cam Johnson good as well plus his three point game can help out. Johnson can also hits shots in the clutch, Suns missed him badly.

I like the way Collins occasionally would bring the "nasty" and I suspect that Pop likes it too. He improved over the year and by the end of the season was a good replacement for Poertl although with different skills. I see no reason to replace him with Lopez as Collins has some pretty good upside left in his career if he can avoid injuries. Let's keep him and see what else is out there that could improve the team.
Lopez isn’t a replacement. We need tough stretch 5 play for 48 minutes, not 30.
Its so weird that people dont agree the spurs can get better talent and still develop the almost stars we got. Collins has marginal trade value. Behind him are garbage time players. Lopez is a stretch to come here but its worth trying. Collins isnt a proven starter but a good rotation guy
Of all the things that are not going to happen, that's the most.
i'll only allow it if he wears a yarmulke to his introductory press conference wherein he goes up on a whiteboard and proves that the earth is spherical
not enough noise in SA to drown out Kyrie's crazy.
I wonder who's stupid enough to bet on Kyrie coming to the Spurs
While they could target fringe rotation - deep bench options (R. Lopez, Powell, Bryant, J. Green, Kaminsky, Marjanovic, Zeller, Saric, M. Wagner, Biyombo, Len), that won't help them reach the cap floor to receive the luxury tax payment.
I wonder if they'll target Theis (Birch?) in a trade. He's got 2 years and roughly $18.7M remaining, but the second year is a team option.
If he can bounce back from an injury plagued year, he's pretty much the ideal fringe rotation big.
I ended up hearing the rule about needing to get to the floor kicks in in 2024-2025, not next year. So the Spurs don't have to worry about the floor this time around.
I still don't think they should waste their cap space, but they don't need to use it just to use it.
Can you imagine Pop having to deal with Cray-Cray Kyrie for a full season?
Heart Attack City for the septuagenarian.
Kawhi was enough.
Well, minus that I still could see this making sense all the way around.
Of course, they can explore other options with their cap space first.
Tbh they need to prepare for Giannis two years from now. Wemby will be 21 and Giannis will be 30. That’s an extremely potent duo, plus whoever we’ve developed into a third star by that time.
Probably just speculation, but the Spurs are supposedly interested in Austin Reaves
Jovan Buha: I think the Lakers are going to retain him. Obviously, their preference would be to sign him to the four-year, $54 million deal. I’ve heard that there are going to be multiple suitors out there in talking with people around the league. You mentioned Orlando and Houston. I’ve heard San Antonio could be a dark horse team that will try to poach Austin from the Lakers.

Word is LAL will match him. It's pretty rich for a guy who has only one season of pretty good production, but they got burned letting Caruso go.
yes they are saying they will match up to a 100 million. Which is crazy because he can only get around 12 million per year on his first 2 years, so the contract is backloaded heavily. Imagine paying Austin Reaves 38 million per year

I wonder who on the Spurs staff is stupid enough to consider kyrie on this team.
Instant firing.
I’d give Reaves a poison pill contract just to the lakers over.
why the not
What you all think about signing Grant Williams? I think his type of game fit nicely longside Wemby and his leadership could be very helpful for the direction we need to go
Grant is a homeless Keldon, and any Boston player’s leadership should be considered suspect.
This is something people haven’t wrapped their heads around: we no longer need to pick through other team’s trash for projects. We have a really good young roster, and 32 picks in the next 7 drafts.
I think he could have a career similar to PJ Tucker. If the Spurs' strength wasn't in their forwards, I would be more interested in seeing what it would cost. While I think you need to do more than just be a defensive specialist to really make it in the league, the team last year makes me really want a couple of defensive guys. They should get one in Wemby. But a guy in the middle positions would be nice considering that guys like Keldon and McDermott are going to eat huge minutes at the forward spot this year.
We keep mentioning players who likely want to contend. Brook Lopez is staying at Milwaukee or go somewhere like the Lakers. Grant Williams is a fringe rotation player who nonetheless has deep playoff experience. He can find money playing for another playoff team.
The baby Spurs do need some good vets. Guys who can model the prep and professionalism between games, how to be prepared. But we already have McDermott and, for now, Graham. They seem like excellent dudes.
We do need to spend money, but none of these other players will want to come, nor should we want them taking time away from Sochan, Mamu, and other bigs. Just send a SRP to Brooklyn to absorb Patty's contract. Hire Giorgiu Dieng to drive the team bus. You're in good shape.
