You ain't asking me, but I'll answer. Because they're ing cowards.
Okay they cannot draft. That means they cannot trade why?

Unless the Kings can offer lottery picks, the Spurs only need 1 or 2 picks of the ATL assets to outvalue any of these playoff teams.
it gets worse. after primo's rookie season they apparently thought he was a "face of the franchise" type player
coming away with that evaluation imo is more egregious than the awful pick itself
Gutless worms, to be more accurate.
You seem to have a lot on your mind.
I sometimes can appreciate why Mr. Body tells people to kill themselves. Not always, but sometimes.
because someone made a joke?![]()
one of the all time head scratchers
That's why I still push for a vet to join that can actually start and play decent minutes. Like if DeRozan could shoot (so like Bizzaro-DeRozan), he'd be my primary target. It's crazy how bad the 2010-2015 drafts were. Outside of a couple of stars, it's just a graveyard in terms of guys who are still good players in the league today. It's why guys like Randle and Grant are even in the conversation. If only this CBA had contained an amnesty provision, the team could've made a killing off grab decent players off waivers while only paying a portion of what they were owed.
Of course, that whole post went over your head.
Thought that was more Pop than Wright+Buford. Which is even worse I think.
Let's be honest, this team doesn't have the courage to trade for Lauri, or for any player in his talent and salary range.
Kawhi, Lamarcus, and to an extent Derozan, castrated the Spurs and they don't have the balls to do big boy trades for big boy players.
Kawhi just told them you I don't want to be here trade me
Lamarcus said nah I'm not coming off the bench and went home, never came back
Derozan said pay the max or I'll play somewhere else.
Real nba players who are good are also demanding, something they will find out the hard way dealing with Victor. He won't be a wide eyed 20 year old forever. A few more years of him watching his contemporaries teams get better while his team just keeps "keeping the powder dry" and he'll be itching to get out to. He'll stay long enough to get super maxed...which is on pace to be around 450 million dollars, and then bounce.
The kings had Haliburton, knew he would be good, but traded him to the Pacers anyway, to get a player in Sabonis to pair with their franchise player Fox. That takes balls. Cause Haliburton came into the league on fire. From the first time he stepped on the court for the Kings he oozed gawd tier offensive talent. But the Kings picked a player, Fox, and they picked a direction, and said this is what we doing and that's just that.
If that is the type of team who is pursuing Lauri, you think this pussy ass front office can even compete with them![]()
A team who signs the Mcbuckets and Collins of the world are now going to jump up out of nowhere and sign an all star caliber player shooting 50 40 90 in his prime
This front office is just collecting picks because they are to pussy to do anything else
These clowns had to pay Chris Paul 11 million dollars to be a babysitter![]()
Spurs can offer them complete control over MIN though with that trade they just did…that can be attractive.
ATL 25 + MIN 30 swap + MIN 31 unprotected + Keldon
Yeah, while we don't perfectly agree with the tactics I think you and I are pretty well aligned on the overall strategy. A move like that wouldn't be my favorite, but I'd understand it a of a lot more than just punting on Top-10 draft picks and soft tanking our way into late lotto picks.
It’s the constant negative drumbeat.
Can Johnson is a clear and obvious target. Position of need and skillset.
Legit, the Spurs could probably use both Barnes and Lyles there. But SAC doesn't need to give up more than Barnes to make this trade work. Sub out Mark for Ingram, and these bones probably work just fine.
Two picks and a swap plus salary ballast ain't gonna get it done with Ainge. Would love to be wrong (as long as it's the Spurs getting him) but that seems more like the kind of trade you could have made with Isiah Thomas or maybe Kahn in Minnesota.
He's not vet enough. I'm talking about over 10 years in the league. Like I wouldn't hate Graham and Collins for Grant right now, especially if they could snag a rotational center with the room exception.
I'd offer four picks for Markannen long before I'd offer two for Johnson.
I dont think he needs to be vet enough when the skillset is a perfect match not only starting but unlocking a lot for the other guys. Im cool with Grant too especially because hes a player that will retain value should SA only want him for a season or two and then trade him
I do not see how GSW or Sac could come close to outvaluing that with any 1 of the ATL picks.
Depends on the picks. If Lauri is commanding all the ATL 25+ ATL 27 + Spurs 25 + CHI 25 (4 picks ) and Cam is commanding SA 2029 top 14 protected + CHA pick I’d easily take Cam
