Welcome brother
If Devin were available, every other team in the league would be interested.
Welcome brother
Gotta be a bit more patient with a player who missed training camp tbh. In my opinion he‘s still too timid, especially when he‘s out there with the bench. I‘d like to see a little more aggressiveness. Right now he‘s not the Vassell from last year, but I hope he rounds into form. He absolutely has to average 20 PPG on efficient shooting to be considered a piece.
He's barely hitting the SL again. Of all the players outside of Wemby, there's only 2 that should be untouchable: Castle and Vassell.
He hunts for his shot excessively and pounds the air out of the ball more than I like. He's an overachiever, which is awesome. But needs to reduce or change part of his expectations. This is all outside of him being injured or coming off the bench. To me his approach to the game has not changed. He's a great shooter, very skilled. But he's not good enough to be dancing around with the ball to then only shoot a 23 foot fadeaway.
It's the opposite of the beautiful game and team basketball. I think some of his patterns got set while we were tanking, and now he's still playing that way.
Our Devin Truthers Club is a small, but elite crew. We must continue to spread our gospel, even in the face of Devin Believers and Imbeciles.
Threw a bonus comparison up there, just for fun.
He has to play winning basketball, but cost is zero right now to find out if he can. He is probably the only one right now I am confident can get his shots off in a playoff series consistently.
Vassell should be in the game after wemby goes to the bench…this will keep wemby away from watching vassell ignore him and dribble and shoot contested fadeaways…
same with branham…if he must play
The Empty Vassell sails on.....
if he could help get us Fox, that would be a Christmas miracle
With his approach to the game, he seems more like a 6th man.
I don't think that horrible step back 3 was planned, he knew he traveled and got away with it. He panicked and lost his balance and just threw it up there. The travel in the first place was bad though.
This was consensus with Keldon a few years back.
There is no one outside of Wemby who should be untouchable on this team. Like not even close. Castle is promising, but untouchable? WTF?
There was a time when the people of this website said Dejounte Murray was untouchable*. Fans of every team love to overstate the worth of their own players, ours are no exception. Wemby is the only untouchable, Castle and Sochan are close, but can and should be able to be had in the right deal. Vassell comes in a tier below that. Everyone else is available.
*Want proof? Here you go, a thread I started 5 months before he was traded: https://www.spurstalk.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=298734 Some real bangers in here. Reminder: even the best posters on this site are just fans, who's opinions should be taken with a grain of salt (that includes mine)
I’d be okay with Devin as the 3rd option or the 6th man. He’s one of a few Spurs players who can create for himself.
I don't think Keldon or Devin were every going to be the centerpiece of a trade. Teams don't trade for mid tier players. Those players are the ones that are included in trades for better players. If Devin can get us Fox that is great but only if the price is right. Same exact stance I had for a possible Young trade. But the Spurs really need to add depth and I worry that they'll lose the chance to do that with a big deal where they give up way too much. Right now the Spurs are looking good to add that type of depth over the coming years if they use their draft capital, but if they sell all that AND send Devin/KJ and other NBA level players then they could find themselves in a position where they have a couple of stars but no depth.
I set a high bar but definitely didn't list him as untradeable.
What differentiates Dejounte was he’s a fighter. The guy worked himself from a turnover-prone who cannot dribble through traffic, to a borderline star. What I didn’t like about him is he’s self-centered who needs a pat in the back. Unlike White who will sacrifice for the team, sacrificing his body for a charge, passing shots for a better shot. DJ imo padded stats, gambled for steals, all for his individual glory
Manny, my only ask of you is to never never ever guarantee something in regard to a player ever again. I can't afford anymore "Landon is a lock for the roster" or "Keldon will definitely be an all-star" jinxes.
Tough but fair.
DV plus Chi 25 FRP, SA 25 FRP for Dejounte let’s fking gooooo

Castle has passed the eye test in the time he's been here far more than Vassell ever has.
Good one
This dude is ing embarassing
