He thought the Spurs were winning 40 games last season and would be fighting for the play innow he's trying to backtrack "that's not what they were saying"
You're a big fan of not having an opinion and hiding it with stuff like, "they're keeping the powder dry." That's meaningless hand-waving and why you continually rely on strawmen when anyone calls you out for it.
Jesus.. don't want to hijack the thread but if one really thought the Spurs were winning 40, then how one be at all pleased with standing pat some more?He thought the Spurs were winning 40 games last season and would be fighting for the play in
I've got high hopes for this draft, I really do. Perhaps standing pat and developing will be the correct course, but that's no reason to leave PATFO critique-less if they're passing up on Cade or the like for 4 and 8 and Keldon.
That's his MO. for example, on the subject of Castle:

Poster A: I'm concerned about his lack of shooting
Poster B: yes, his defense looks stout, but the lack of a shot is a concern
Mrs. Body: So ST thinks defense is meaningless now
Or, on the subject of Dilly:
Poster A: I'm concerned he is too slight at 164
Poster B: yeah, how he will be able to handle NBA Defense at his size is a concern
Mrs. Body: Ok so you're both saying Dillingham is absolute garbage?
rinse, repeat...
I have no desire to move off #4, there will be a good player that helps this team no matter what. But if they want to use #8 to move up or down then go for it tbh.
Yeah, I thought they'd be better than they were. Who gives a about what I said? Kinda moving the goals here, yeah? The Spurs clearly said they wanted to learn what worked with Wembanyama and figure things out. If they could win, they'd try to win. Clearly, even to a braindamaged person, that wasn't their primary goal.
And... that's precisely what happened.
Anyway, can you nimrods remove the pointless discussion of whatever player you want to pretend is available and what it would take to get them to the threads clearly marked for those discussions? They're inane and dumb and I feel like I'm losing the will to live having to read about what it would take to get Cade when he's not even on the market. Just... there's a place for those idiotic sewing circles.
Another day, another Body temper tantrum. Looks like they usually occur around nap time.
Well past naptime. But how am I wrong? Seriously, my little munchkins, the team said over and over they wanted to see what worked for Wemby, and they did.
Now, you're all doing the nursey school thing of dreaming about big, beautiful Cade or lovely dumpling Darius Garland, like you're playing on EA Sports or some dumb .
I mean, go ahead. Just... there's a freakin thread for that nonsense, yeah? Go over there.
"But this year with development, I think one of the important factors to enhance that development, is winning. So winning is as important this year as learning was in the past. So they have to continue to learn but adding more wins I think is appropriate, mandatory, helpful.”
Muh threads
Jaylon Tyson getting some buzz as someone to watch for in the late lotto. Not sure we're talked about him at all (largely because we don't pick late lotto)
One of the things I have learned about these forums over twenty some odd years is that the posters with the biggest character flaws never fix them. Rather, they crystallize and become even more set in their ways. The normal posters grow up, mature, and sand off the rough edges, but the worst ones will be what they are until they die.
You've already forgotten both what Pop said and what you posted. Not surprised.
Are the values of Spurs draft picks in the 2024 draft relevant to the 2024 NBA draft? A simple yes or no will suffice. One assumes you don't want to derail the thread even further.
That and the apologists/homers can stop pretending that if they gave up a few assets and it led to anything less than a championship, they'd be doomed.
The Celtics and Mavericks have constantly done just that for years and that is generally how you get to or near the top.
The utopian existence the Spurs enjoyed during the Duncan era, that they seem to think/hope will just happen again organically, was an outlier.
You were doing so well. . . now I'm forced to hit you with an obligatory
Brooks gave Wembanyama the most difficulty last season.
Clingan is more a Jokic/Embiid defender.
kill yourself
Please let this happen, or the rumored deal of 3rd pick to Memphis for Smart so they can Clingan. Guarantees us one of Risacher, Sheppard, or Castle will be there at 4.
I wasn't high on Sheppard to begin with but as the weeks go by i'm becoming more of a believer in what he can bring to our offense.
Maybe you can enlighten me on the context? Because I'm not seeing it. I personally don't see much more than a Jalen Duren-type.You were doing so well. . . now I'm forced to hit you with an obligatory
You guys see the Don Harris tweet? Posting from phone so pain in the ass to link but came out of left field…claims an NBA executive told him Castle is very much in play at #1 to Atlanta, Salaun’s stock is rising, and the only thing that seems like a lock is Sheppard at 3 to Houston.
Not sure I buy it, all the ATL talk thus far has been centered around Clingan/Risacher. Castle would be a major surprise.
I'm not going to pretend to be an expert on the Perth Wildcats, but the league does seem to be rapidly gaining traction as one of the better ones outside of the NBA and he's essentially a kid.
I would think that is why the minutes are relatively low, as well as the counting stats.
Granted, he's not an offensive hub or strong rebounder either, so outside of blocks he probably won't pile them up period.
Claxton looks like the closest archetype.
Here ya go:
If Sarr makes it to 4...we have to take him, right?
Damn. OKC just got better.
if risacher/reed are unavailable, then yeah. he's next on my board at that point. then dillingham becomes to ideal pick at 8
Why would the Bulls do that after saying they want to compete??
It's a steal for Okc smh
I don't give a f*ck about OKC getting better, but I do give a f*ck about Chicago getting worse.
