A couple weeks ago a lot of you were ready to put Castle in a trade PACKAGE (not even straight swap) for Amen...
I said I would never and got laughed at.
Would you guys still do it?
IMO his ceiling is far higher than Amen's
STFU. "A lot of" nothing wanted to trade Castle. You're not some genius becuase you didn't want to trade Castle. That's the broad consensus here.A couple weeks ago a lot of you were ready to put Castle in a trade PACKAGE (

Hope you didn't blow out your back trying to suck your own there.
I have been off and on in intensity and attention here all year, I know quite a few of us (myself included) were willing to include Castle in part of a move for Fox, it was with reservations... Really like him, hope we don't have to but if it pushes the trade to where Sac it willing we do it. Type of move I don't really remember anyone being all that into a move for Amen....There was some discussion but nothing that sounded like it was a strong or widely held opinion.
Is it just convenient to forget the part when Amen was swap with Castle or are you just struggling with reading?
You never disapoint
My recollection was amen for sochan which is a no brainer for us. I’d still do amen for castle straight up. Amen with a shot is a superstar level player, castle with a shot is an all star.
Granted castles shot seems to be much easier to fix.
Amen is just a next level athlete with a good basketball sense.
castle has a nice chance to get a good amount of national spotlight this weekend
people dont usually care about the rising stars challenge, but the winning rising stars team also gets a birth into the actual all star game/tournament, so he'd be able to face off against full blown all star teams
and of course, the dunk contest (even though im skeptical he has enough lift to do well in this, he might pull some shenanigans with wemby as a prop to help)
Man, the dunk comp is the other thing I am iffy on. I am happy with everything else he's done. I hope he doesn't do poorly in it. I should have more confidence in him if he's entered it willingly as he must think he'll do well (which is good), but I don't want him to do bad.
Can't predict the future, but at the same stage of their career, Castle shows more promises than Amen. We'll see how Castle evolves in year 2...
Short term memory is striking ppl again
Amen looks really freaking good. He is two full years older than Stephon. But just let them be their own players.
Meanwhile, there's plenty of time for him to develop in years to come, but with FVV out and Jalen Green sucking outright, there was a chance for Reed to shine against the Warriors, and...
Reed Sheppard 05:09 0 0-0 0-0 0-0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 -7
Ausar starting to round into form too after having his career sidetracked with the blood clots last season, happy to see him playing well.
the Spurs are extra secretive when it comes to Castle‘s dunks. They told reporters not to leak anything nor write articles about it. So he definitely got some things prepared.
So lucky of us to have him
Back to back ROY
What kind of multiverse event should open up so that we can have a top four pick, I wonder ......
Basketball fans around the world deserve a Spurs renaissance.....
But we must get lucky first
So nice to dream guys
One thing I noticed about Stephon is.....
After a miscue, he pauses on the floor....couple of seconds?
Better that he just goes with the flow and get back on defense quickly
Interested to know your opinions on this habit of his guys.
Probably looking at the refs or look to go for steal
OMG, an abbreviated Tony Snell cardio.
Stephon Castle wants to be great and a future star in this league. He is the putting the necessary grind and it's starting to pay off.
A Kawhi-esque transformation where he would blow off all projected ceilings for him wouldn't be much of shock for me. .
I've been saying this. Whoever his shooting coach is, he's better than Jimmy Baron.
Excellent. Great to hear. Steph already had a bit of a feel for shooting. That break in LA was put to very productive use. I love the work he's putting in, and that it's also paying off.
Imagine you have to go get a shooting coach because the one on the team sucks. I never remembered hearing someone hiring a shooting coach while Chip was here.
Yea not exactly a bullet point on Jimmy's resume (which he should be updating if results mattered in the Spurs org these days). Makes me wonder if Castle was working with Jimmy earlier in the season and then brought in his own guys later on or was it a different sequence of events? Either way, great to see Castle getting his shot to fall of late. We are still in small sample size territory, but I am an optimist with everything regarding Castle because he shows a maturity way beyond a 20 year old and doesn't appear to be afraid to put in the work to become the player he wants to be.
Dunno what it is exactly, but this dude reminds me of Manu. He just seems to have that intangible ability of knowing how to win.
I was thinking the same thing when I was courtside at the Hornets-Spurs game last week. What made me really think of Manu when watching him play was his ability to get to the hole doing the Euro Step which looked very similar to Manu's Euro Step. His athleticism and his ability to dunk on guys is very deceptive just like Manu's dunking ability.
Castle also has some Tim Duncan in him, doesn’t use any more athleticism than he has to. Of course the stoicism. Once I got used to his style and he started to convert shots and impose his will DANGGGGGGG
