This is not true and again, only on SpursTalk do people think this. It’s funny, because Im not here trying to defend Keldon like hes a superstar, but hes way better than most here rate.
The trade discussed here is salary dumping.

Best part about that video was showing an early-season Texas A&M ranked 7and then unranked in a later clip. Why are the Aggies so profoundly overranked in bball and football every in year in pre/early season rankings?
You can keep saying it but it doesn't make it so.
Then why is he statistically replacement level and has been 4 out of the 5 years of his career? Only was significantly above replacement level in a contract year back in 21-22.
So then hes shown he can be well above replacement…that’s how I see it.
It 100% makes it so. Getting no player of value in return and giving up a lottery pick to simply get 3 more spots up is in every way a functional salary dump. I dont see how to frame it any other way.
Im talking about value. You are saying spurs are getting their guy and that’s fine, but from a value perspective since you also have pick 8 and the players available there, that gap in 5 v 8 even if you rate Castle a tier higher than the others is still a salary dump.
That's only because you have this crazy belief that Keldon could land you the #5 pick on his own. I don't think it's crazy to move a near replacement level player to jump up to a higher tier pick.
Nah. You can think that Castle is tier 1 in this class and everyone pick 6 and later is tier 3 and it still be a terrible value trade objectively. Again though, am I saying it would be the end of the world? Nope.
SA can survive a bad value trade, but that doesnt make it not a bad value. And the pressure would certainly be on to make that pick truly be a legit hit vs just ok. Otherwise you just smoked a legit young nba rotational player for absolutely nothing.
It sounds insane to me to say Castle, with his flaws and how hes big picture viewed as worth a legit nba player AND another lottery pick.
Yeah you got me with your smooth brain comment.
Dumbasses hijacking the Dillingham thread. Dilly getting leapfrogged by Carter and Bub on Yahoo latest Mock. Due to great workouts.
Not surprising. I wonder if they looked at the Top 10 and said if SA isn't happening then mid-first teams are the better long-term landing spots. Still a little crazy that the best on-ball offensive creator / playmaker is pushing out of the lottery in mocks, but the defense and size are legitimate limiters to reach whatever upside he might have. Still could be a future sixth man award winner. I'm probably more torn on him than any other dude in this draft.
i didnt say he cant shoot, i said he doesnt shoot well
his career% is a hair under 36% and the only full season he actually shot above that number is the one fluke 40% season (im not including his rookie season with 22 total 3pt attempts). not incluidng said rookie season, he's shot 33%, 40%, 33% and 35%. it's who he is. he's not a plus shooter, nor does he have a particularly quick/clean release
im not saying he's a worthless player, i wouldnt dump him just to move up from 8 to 5 in this draft, but i recognize that his value is kind of limited because the main thing he does well is barrel to the rim.
Rumors that he's really sliding and will go out of the top 10.
That's surprising if the case, but maybe not so much. Maybe suggests there are some questionable things about personality, agency, or otherwise.
Wouldn't surprise me if all the mocks are way off on this draft and I expect teams are going to have drastically different evaluations and orderings of talent. Could make trades really tricky this year.
Mocks seem a little pointless in this draft. But him sliding makes sense in the context of not just size but in a flat draft if you aren’t working out etc then you run risk of being passed up
Maybe he’s faking the ankle injury because he wants to come to SA and ensure he’s available at #8 tbh
That would be genius... if they actually wanted him.
Splits... They were the 7 seed in the conference tournament, not 7th in the nation. C'mon man.Best part about that video was showing an early-season Texas A&M ranked 7
It’s possible but you better have a promise from SA if you are doing that lol
Nah, some are just unbiased enough to take off the rose colored glasses and contextualize his counting stats.
If fans can do so within' minutes with publicly available information, then surely people who get paid to do this for a living wouldn't be fooled by trivial things like "he's averaged 15-20 ppg" (so has Oubre Jr. and it got him a minimum contract last season).
The reality is, he's a player without a defined role. He's not a creator or a 3 and D type and he's now a young veteran, so he's a tricky fit.
The Spurs shouldn't and wouldn't purely salary dump him, but jettisoning his salary in a trade for a starter would have ancillary value all the same.
Ok, you're right. Pre-season last year they were ranked 15. Same question applies, gies are always ranked high in pre/early season basketball and football, yet consistently fail to do anything significant.
can somebody explain to me why klutch is supposedly evil
Are you serious?
very much so
we had dejounte who was with klutch. murray didnt complain while here. he signed a good contract with us. mutually agreed to part ways w/ the spurs (who also wanted to rebuild and apparently asked him if he wanted to stick around for that). he didnt force his way out or complain or anything. went to atlanta, and after 1 season he signed an extension with them when he could have waited until free agency and extracted more money, but decided to do right by his new team.
what other experience do the spurs have with klutch? when marcus morris was a dip , klutch dropped him as a result of it since they didnt support what he did
is it really just because anthony davis went to LA?
