[slick'81]

Just keep brooks away from wemby

[Joseph Kony]

WTF is Houston doing I get that they have no incentive to tank next year but signing all these ill-fitting chuckers to go along with their young knucklehead chuckers seems incredibly dumb

Tillman Frittata playing NBA2K GM again. You hate to see it.

Spurs to-do list:
Today: Make QO’s to FA’s they might want to keep.
Tomorrow: sign rookies.
Upcoming week: try to swing a trade with NO for Jonas Valanciunas.
Within two days of any RFA signing an offer sheet: Decide whether to match.
If no trade for Valanciunas: Offer Dwight Powell 1 year, $15 million.
If in danger of missing salary floor: Overpay somebody.
To Spurstalk posters who wanted a point guard: “We like what we have, let’s see what we have, let’s find out what works, be patient, no big costly mistakes.”

Well, it's possible to sign a veteran point guard to a one or two year deal. I think it would be good for Wemby's development to have a point guard right off that knows how to play the position. First and second year guys are fine, but they should get one guy to show them the ropes. Chris Paul would've been perfect because he had one year left on his deal and you could release him at the end of the year so he could join a contender. But alas, that ship sailed.

Why this obsession with adding long-term salary to the team for players who do the team already does? In the case of Grant Williams, not even that well? Is it like some kind of consumerist mania, like you're in a mall and just have to spend some of your money? You guys sound like a little kid at the check out lane throwing a fit when Mommy won't buy you a Kit-Kat bar.

Spending money for no ing reason right now is ing stupid.

Why would the Spurs use draft space they will lose regardless to sign positive young players asks brilliant NBA mind.

I mean adding talent to the team is somehow "consumerist"? What in the actual is this flaying. If you don't rate a player then fine. You can simply say I don't think Williams is good. The stars will prove that you aren't making a good analysis, IMO, but at least that would be better than all this nonsensical bull you throw out instead.

Also no one mentioned a specific contract my dude. Obviously there is a point where Williams would not be worth it but you didn't bother.gicing ranges on what that might be but instead decided to just on the idea out of hand with some of the most bull reasons I've ever seen.

You're so ing weird man.

I expect Langford not to get a QO.

They're not likely to take on new contracts for more than this year, unless somehow the asset compensation makes it worth it.

You may want to follow the Rockets?

Sounds fair, but if we can't upgrade PG (f VanVleet, Kyrie, etc) then at least I'd like one more cheap competent guard to fight for minutes with Tre, like a Monte Morris or something (you can't throw current Blake at Wemby for 15+ mpg). He's 28 y.o. making less than 10M on an expiring deal and should cost maybe a 2nd round pick (given how little value they've been able to get from their assets) or maybe absorb him outright, can run the team and be a reliable shooter from 3, and is a high character guy that played with Jokic on the way up and I think understands what Wemby will need and face. At worst you let him go next offseason, no harm done. This plus a center that can bang inside and rebound good for 20 mpg -like say Plumlee- and re-signing current guys (Tre, Mamu, Champagnie, maybe KBD), extending Vassell, and maybe being open to an opportunity (get an interesting player, salary dump, etc) is ok by me. I'd play it safe, no risky deals that take you out of '25 free agency and wait for an opportunity to come.

[Mr. Body]

Why this interest in getting mid PGs? We already have mid PGs. All you're doing is making it harder to deal with the roster at the deadline and after the season.

[Dverde]

I have a feeling we are getting Mason Plumlee. Those Plumlee & McNuggets lineups will be extremely helpful to improve our 2024 draft prospects.

[Seventyniner]

Houston is must watch basketball now.

In that they might end up having the first fight in NBA history composed only of its own players. I see very high show potential on that team.

[JPB]

All the Rockets have to do now is trade Segun + 4 FRPs for Simmons and we good.

[CGD]

Def think the spurs like Barlow. Wouldn’t be surprised if he gets a Bassey

The All-Chucker teams this year are going to be full of Houston players.

History? Not even the first one in the last few months.

[Mr. Body]

History? Not even the first one in the last few months.

Man somehow we forgot that already and that one of their players broke his hand punching a wall?

McDaniels? What a nutty locker room.

[Seventyniner]

History? Not even the first one in the last few months.

Touche.

I meant more of an all out melee involving half the team. I can see some really bad blood developing on the Rockets now that they are actually expected to win, especially if they bring in several new players who will all want their touches too.

[barakz21]

So who do you guys think is the most likely 12:01 signee for this year?

[Ariel]

Why this interest in getting mid PGs? We already have mid PGs. All you're doing is making it harder to deal with the roster at the deadline and after the season.

We don't have "mid PGs", we have "A" mid PG, as in ONE (Tre). Do you expect Tre to play 48 mpg, 82 games a season? Right now Morris is up for grabs, I don't feel comfortable with Tre being the ONLY capable player, I don't love Graham and he's probably gone by the trade deadline, and Blake needs to work in his G-League, he can still play spot up minutes here and there but you can't expect him to get significant playing time this year at past year's level, at least not if you want to develop the rest of the guys (Wemby, Sochan, Malaki, etc).

We have Tre, Graham, and Wesley. That's three middling PGs. We don't need any more.

Devonte’ Graham is mid among mids. There is none midder.

[Extra Stout]

If you were to ask, which point guard is so mid that fans of his team regularly forget he exists, why, that would be Devonte’.
