He'll look good in purple, tbh.
Can't ever trust a player with Kobe tattoo.
Terrible team basketball player. Doesn't play defense. Doesn't pass. Doesn't show up in the clutch. Trade him while people think he has value. Maybe a smart coach can figure out a way to make him not suck.![]()

IF this is what he is now : a wildly inconsistent often-injured, 3rd tier shooting guard, i don't mind for the Spurs to start looking for a better option to surround Wemby via trade..
Disagree, I think he's usable
But he's not a #2. Get him with 2 better scorers like adding Fox to the team and get a better coach and I think he'll be better
I won't cry if he's the one sent out for Fox provider the rest of the package isn't that bad, but he needs to play off better players and put in better position with coaching
Him bumbling his way to a bad step back 3 with Champ wide open in the corner was pretty illustrative of who Devin is. He has severe tunnel vision and main character syndrome.
Castle made him expendable. Even though Castle is still a little raw, he already has a higher ceiling than Dev.
This team as is isn’t making the play-in. I don’t see a need to keep the same roster together. It’s time to put a team around Wemby. Thank you for your loyalty, dev and Keldon, but it’s time to move on.
Been saying that about him and said that about Kelden when it was applicable. Spurs for some reason just fall in love with "doing the right thing".
Vassell definitely seems to have plateaued
I think a big reason is him coming off foot surgery as any foot injury is tough as they take a punishment from running and jumping on court. I remember we had that young kid from Oklahoma who played good but then broke his foot and that pretty much ended his career.
The dude is a poser. He's never impressed me and I won't feel sad if/when he's gone from the team tbh
Its not Castle who made him expendable, its Champagnie. Champ is like Vassell except he has better shot selection less tunnel vision and on a better contract.
Does he show some chemistry with Castle? Did you notice guys?
vassell making his stock worst.Ive always said hes a role player.
Calm down. It's one game FFS
i think it is the combination of both Castle & Champagnie that makes it more palatable to move on from him now while the value is still there. Him being a china doll is also another incentive. I feel like the rest of the season will be a sort of referendum on him being part of their long term future
Vassell’s inconsistency makes him more of a #3 than a #2 guy on a contender. This dude can score the bucket anyway he wants to but he just has bad decision making sometimes.
hes not even a 3rd star.Guy is so average.Not sure why fans were having mental breakdowns about needing him to start.Guy does not deserve it.
I mean Vassell has been this way for seasons now. He’s just too inconsistent as a 2nd option to offset some of his flaws. I don’t think we should trade him tomorrow but his ceiling has been reached as a player.

Agree
Whereas we have just barely scratched Castle's........
So, we have Wemby, Castle and the next draft picks? We are still in the middle phase of our rebuilding
Hope we get more talented pieces
Devin played bad tonight but you guys do this to everyone who's not a clear #1. I can already see you all doing this to Castle in 2 years. The Spurs need to add talent not ship away guys just because they're not clear cut number ones. I'm not opposed to moving him in the right deal, but you rarely see trades where you send off a guy like Devin and end up with more talent in the trade.
well vassell is the highest paid player on this team.
How is that relevant? He's the highest paid player on a team that is in the middle of a rebuild who has been struggling to meet the salary floor in recent years. Who ing cares?
stop with the excuses bro.You got guys like cam johnson,lavine and lamelo ball and other players with worst teams still playing real good with rebulding.
Vassell is just not good.
Vassell is up and down, inconsistent and often injured. He isn't an all star level player. He might come out next game and drop 30 and most will want to keep him.
Reality is had the spurs won this game there wouldn't be so much Vassell hate. This was a close game and could have gone either way just like some of the recent spurs wins.
This board over reacts with losses and over reacts after wins. This wasn't going to be an easy game on the road and the spurs hung tough for the most part although they were gifted getting Embiid thrown out.
Making this my last response to you because you clearly have no ing idea what you're talking about but...
Lavine and Lamelo are on max extensions and make substantially more money than Devin. Cam Johnson makes a bit less, but historically Devin has has put up better numbers and is much younger. The Nets aren't rebuilding, they are TANKING, hence why they traded away their best player in the off season and will like trade away Johnson as well and a big factor in his numbers being inflated above his historical value.
But so ing what? The point wasn't that there aren't better players out in the NBA than Devin or that he was amazing but rather that his contract hasn't stopped the Spurs from doing a god damn thing and is irrelevant.
