    Look at the pictures, his pinky finger has torn ligaments, he can't straighten it out without a surgery.

    As weird as it sounds, I wouldn't rule out the Spurs reacquiring Leonard one day. His contract fits very well into Victor's rookie deal. He's not my favorite option, but he is a ceiling-raiser, and he doesn't lower the floor if he's basically a rental the way he would as a franchise player. For me, it would depend on value.

    Crazy how Duarte fell off. Sometimes older draftees are just as good as they'll ever be. Some exceptions like Derrick.
    Poster child for why teams are loath to draft 4 year college kids. Khenct is next.

    Why couldn't he have the surgery, then put some protective thingy on his off-hand pinky, and play out the season?

    Are these things mutually exclusive?

    Yeah I think so. You couldn't keep it clean. Couldn't handle the ball at all with the bandaging required to protect it. Hit it wrong and get set back.

    Tbh all the highlights I've seen have him dunking with his left hand. I don't know that I've seen him shoot a jumper.

    Nope. It's on his shooting hand. He tapes that pinky to his ring finger every game. Needs surgery but he's going to wait until the off-season.

    Darn, thanks. I thought it was on his non-shooting hand. I really want him to play, but seeing that now, I wonder if it would be best for him to heal up. Anyone know if playing can make it worse?

    Yes, it happened before the season started.

    Yeah not super worried about the finger, he has said it isn't a big deal.

    Little quirk that kind of pisses me off... Fox's home debut will be two games in ing Austin.

    For the record, giving up Cissoko kinda sucks, I'm a believer in him, and it's a shame it wasn't Branham or Wesley in his place.

    yeah... but they don't fit with each other...
    Eh they are a bit redundant but Fox is a decent enough shooter for it to work in limited minutes for a year. Castle is also big enough to play the 2, but doesn't have the shooting. There's nothing wrong in theory for the long term to tell Castle, "We drafted you as our combo guard of the future, We have every intention of having you as our future as long as your shooting keeps improving. We also went and got Fox because he's a very good all-star guard. Over the next couple of years we expect you two to become a tandem like White and Holiday." Also in this same conversation between adults with all these. "For this year and hopefully next we have CP3 here, he's got great awareness and skills, he's physically not where he once was as I'm sure he'll tell you. He's here to help mainly you Stephen learn how to be one of the best point guards in the league but also to just help everyone come together as a team. As a member of the coaching staff who plays a decent amount each game everyone listen to him." also this year if we hit the play-offs and make a run great if not great, it's house money and learning, Next year is serious and we aim for championship (kinda realistically goal is deep play-off run but it gets chaotic at that point).

    Kings don't have him,
    he went to the Wizards/Bullets. Shooting is one of those things that a bad shooter can always put in enough work with will and heart to become decent to good if they want it. They probably won't ever be a great shooter. But can be decent. The key is doing it right with so many reps that it become without thought so you do it in game at game speed.

    Jason Kid says o from the Hall.

    Bruce Bowen is another example, dude practiced from the 3 from the corners to lead the league in 3s and could barely put the ball in the whole from anywhere else on the floor.
