There is Markannen to Spurs Buzz

[R. DeMurre]

Empty stats on a bad team. Can't get his team wins.

If you were a Laker fan or a Boston fan, you'd be saying this same thing about Wembanyama. The Jazz have been tanking the whole time Marrkanen has been in Utah, so of course win totals aren't going to be amassed giving minutes to scrubs after trading away pretty much every impact player they have.

[Obstructed_View]

FTFY, tbh. And totally agreed - health permitting.

Wemby is a Spur, bro.

[Mr. Body]

Provocateur is the right word for most of Body’s posts. Name the ing players you want, Body. We’re tired of your manic episodes. I know the more people post about Markkanen, the more your frustration builds because you can’t handle the fact that people are disagreeing with you. Counting down any minute now before you explode and call everybody stupid, you little .

Lol:

Deandre Ayton
Trae Young
John Collins
Ben Simmons
Tobias Harris

These are THE players this forum has WORSHIPPED over the years, DEMANDING this FO sign them, or give up huge piles to get them. Don't you think that's pretty ed up? Like... don't you think, maybe, maybe, maybe your desperation to get Lauri Markkanen is following the same chain?

That aside, just, if you need to pay huge money to a somewhat fit, go play EA Sports. It's wild how desperate you guys are to spend obscenely. If we can get him for what he's worth on an expiring - a couple picks at most - then fine. This about running up the tab is ridiculous.

But I think y'all just need to entertain yourself with this stuff. Being serious isn't part of the game.

[Obstructed_View]

Last two seasons:

ORtg
Gabe Vincent: 104, 86
Markkanen: 125, 128

OBPM
Gabe Vincent: -3.1, -6.9
Marrkanen: +4.9, +5.1

OWS
Gabe Vincent: -0.3, -0.3
Markkanen: +6.3, +5.2


I know you're mostly just saying this to be a provocateur, but even in that context it's completely absurd.

God damn, I can't tell them apart!

Deandre Ayton

And who do you want Mr Fat Body? So we can on them too.

Huh? I can't recall anyone here pining over Ayton, Simmons, or Tobias. The Trae crowd has since dissipated and the Collins fetish was short-lived.

I mean, he's been in the league for like seven years and each team he left got better after. Utah will get better after. That ain't entirely his fault, but, I mean, if he was that good you'd think Utah would want to keep him or he'd actually be a leader on any of those teams and they wouldn't have sucked when he was there. Seven years. This ain't a star who's leading teams to playoff berths. This is a guy who shoots three pointers. And you want to spend up our draft hoard and then spend him superstar money.

Make. It. Make. Sense. Lol.

[Leetonidas]

Josh Primo

Yes, man, over the years these are the players this forum has gone absolutely GAGA over. Which is why I always laugh when they get angry that we didn't sign some also-ran or get angry at the Front Office, because we all know their ideas are about 1000% worse. People here were incredibly upset we didn't pay Tobias Harris the huge amount of money that became a lead weight for the Sixers. Every single one of those players were obsessed over here.

[NASpurs]

Josh Primo

It's why that dumb doesn't express who he wants anymore after that incident.

[Mr. Body]

Josh Primo

Lol, you know I wanted Sengun. Another thing I was right about.

Name the players YOU want. Let’s all see it.

[Leetonidas]

The majority of us wanted Sengun in that draft. And "another?" what was the first thing?

[Mr. Body]

Like, I'll exit this dumb circle jerk, it's just the same ST nonsense. I don't even dislike Markkanen that much, it's just that you idiots make it hard not to.

Everyone gets things wrong here. We're all amateurs. Just pointing out how AWFULLY CONSTANTLY WRONG you all are IN EXACTLY THE SAME WAYS over and over and over.

[Leetonidas]

As always Body is conflating a handful of posters with the entire forum

[Mr. Body]

So what. You're making it out like I was this big Primo booster when I wasn't. It was basically me and ecstatic who were all in on Sengun. The rest of y'all were, dunno. Pretended you were after the fact.

So you’re a coward who’s too scared to put in your own original thoughts while constantly ting on others. Yeah, that makes you so much better.

you really want to talk about how right you always are when you predicted a 40 win season and saying anyone who took the under was an idiot? Gmafb

[Leetonidas]

The entire forum was pissed when we drafted Primo. Only one sniffer said "you son of a I'm in" on Primo

[NASpurs]

Seriously, there's like 200 members signed in right now and like maybe 15 have said they wanted Markannen. It's how people become bigots when you generalize like that.

[exstatic]

One wonders if the Spurs keeping their cap sheet aqueeky clean for next summer is an arm bar on Ainge showing that if the price is too high, we’ll just sign him, outright.

If that is the case, it’s a very strategic move.

[R. DeMurre]

This is a guy who shoots three pointers.
Make. It. Make. Sense. Lol.

You know this isn't true. Markkanen gets to the rim and throws down more dunks per year than any player on the Spurs not named Victor. His mid range shooting is elite. His advanced stats are very good. The notion that he's nothing but a 3 pt shooter is ridiculous.

[Das Texan]

I'd be just fine with Spurs unloading almost any asset (within some modi of reason) to acquire Lauri.

[spurraider21]

if it's a salary dump, i'm all for it, but a player that can't play more than 66 games a year, can't be relied upon.
