so you posting dumb while sober? You must've fallen on your head a lot as a kid
Any getting Giannis will involve Castle going out.
I don't want to win just to win. I want to be attached to the players.
Yankee/Laker/LeBron-style teams are lame. These modern superstars need to grow into building winners where they are at. Tim and Dirk didn't go to a new team every year.
If you can get Giannis, you functionally must give up anything except Wembanyama to get him, but man...that''s not what I really want.
I loved Dirk, but I never wanted him to come play on the same team as Tim. That is whack, man.

This isn't going to happen but even if it did, I don't see the team jelling...
Castle and Giannis are unquestionably top dogs. I think Wemby would feel 3rd wheel tbh
Damn I'm saying all of this with hopes that Wemby shuts me the up.
On his best defensive day, he might have been 50% Pippin, and he won’t care because Pop is no longer coaching.
Fake news , just using us to put pressure on Milwaukee like always
Pressure on them to do what?
Pressure on them to do what?
I don't want him but I am scared of OKC or Huston getting him.
Don't be afraid.. OKC isn't going to break-up what they have to add Giannis. Houston may go hard though, but should a Houston team of Giannis and Amen really scare anyone? Defensively they'd be a beast, but two non shooters with what they'd have left minus the draft compensation going out doesn't really worry me.
If Spurs bring Giannis, Victor will have to shoot 15 threes per game![]()
You fill the roster with ace shooters that are at least able to on defensive, funnel to Giannis inside the paint
Great plan...never thought of that.. that would actually work without Giannis too... so my question is, where are these Ace shooters who are able on the defensive end?
The best offseason pickup would be Steven Adams. Think he'd be perfect. Imagine some pick n roll game w FOX and Wemby off ball.
Houston also has a huge gap at the PG/table setter that needs addressing. I'd be looking at that if I were Giannis.
Is he a free agent? I wonder how much it would cost to get him?
Do you guys think Brook Lopez would be worth bringing in? I only ask because I think his contract is up and his a former teammate of Mitch's.

Had to double check the URL, thought I was on reddit for a second with some of these outrageously bad scenarios
Look towards the draft, our chest of picks and players currently having some value and look at the rest of the league who could fill those shoes thst might be attainable.
Finding guys that can shoot at a reasonable clip isn't difficult. Finding guys the the bbiq to work within a team defense different story but still possible.
I can't think of all the possibilities at the moment but there are options with players under contracts that could be had.
Honestly though I would take chances with the draft and trading out for future assets.
Front offices are not going to be handing out large sum contracts all crazy like before.
The new CBA has really put a clamp on that and you are seeing the after effects with moves and decisions teams are making to get out of 1st and 2nd aprons.
Boston has big decisions to make after the post season.
That sounds great...except you didn't name a single player...you just spoke in pla udes...
I read this as you coming off like a .
All I was indicating is people should chill there are plenty of ways to improve and make this team a nba playoff team. And the direction of the season will be telling after free agency and the draft.
Draft: I like Derik Queen, Kon, Fleming, Sorber
Trades: John Collins maybe Cam Johnson (I just don't think he is worth the assets to acquire)
Free Agency: Naz Reid, Beasley, Q. Grimes, Gary Trent Jr.
Not all these guys collectively but individually 1 2 from the list would fill holes currently with the roster.
Don't want to see Paul back.
Would love to see Malaki, Keldon gone
Mildly hopeful they could package Devin for something. At this point I think keldon has better value and a team can easily envision a role on their team with. Vassell is kinda of a question mark and more of a risk for trading an acquiring. Most teams see the value but it is a higher risk because it still uncertain he hits his projected value

I somewhat agree with that player list. My draft board is on record for my list of players here in the draft thread. As for free agents/ trades, I do like Collins (and though it's blasphemy here, I like him more than Naz). I also like Grimes as a cheap option. I'm also interest in Royce O'Neal and Tyus Jones with our exceptions if we don't address more things in trades.
Don't want to break up the Friendship Crew, especially now that we got our Friendship Coach locked up. Best part of Spurs reddit is how they all think Kelon is the heart and soul of the team.
It's Amico so take it with a grain of salt.
I haven't watched much of royce o neal. Tyus would be a nice pick up so long as the front court is resolved first with something more reliable than Sochan Bassey rotation.
Grimes I watched a couple mavs and 76ers games and a one or two games last season with pistons he shoots at a decent clip and offers some defensive versatility. Mavericks should have kept him and not send him to the 76ers
I like Naz too but I agree with you. I think John Collins has more value and fits a starting lineup need and rotational fit that we are severely lacking.
We draft one of Fleming or Kon. Then one of Queen or Sorber I think the spurs roster shows some promise especially with some guys like Grimes, tyus and collins
I haven't looked at the salary and nor what reasonable trade offer would suffice but losing Devin+future pick(s) nothing crazy and replacing that with Grimes I think saves the spurs a ton of money and if it nets you Collins you made this team a stronger defensive unit and improved the shooting on the floor and a player like sochan coming off the bench to sub out either one of Wemby or Collins and it isn't too big of a drop and offers some defensive switches and versatility
No love for Myles Turner, huh?
How's he going to go to the Lakers or Miami? I'm sure the Lakers don't have any assets to give up. I'm guessing Miami doesn't either.
New York could be a possibility, though, as they have players they can trade, but do they have any draft picks left?
I was also interested in Gary Trent Jr., but no-one here seemed interested a year ago. I thought if they could have gotten him cheap, he would have been a guy that could play SG/SF. Really could have helped when Devin was out to start the season IMO.
