What are your Offseason worries/wishes?

[cd021]

Yeah and their reactions conveyed as much. You almost can't trade the consensus most desirable archetype (sizable offensive "engine" and Harper Jr. comes off as their type too) for anything short of Antetokounmpo (I don't see it happening), but by doing so they'll create an awkward at best and toxic at worst situation.

I get it for the Spurs; you can't turn down found money. Though Harper might not play big minutes a rookie unless they make a smaller trade to clear out the log jam or they cut Vassell's minutes or bring him off the bench.

I'm worried the Spurs just sign a couple of vets and call it a summer and then struggle with a weird roster until the trade deadline.

Just a reminder where the spurs ranked last season in key stat categories

same as usual. We suck at rebounding, defending and shooting.

haha yeah but rebounding sticks out like a sore thumb. If they don’t address it during the draft or free agency I don’t see how they make it any higher than the 7 seed next season

One thing I'm going to be watching next year - our Steals/Gm really increased significantly after the Fox trade, I believe to the second highest rate in the league (still behind OKC). Fox is known for steals, of course, but Devin really picked up his stocks after De'Aaron was acquired as well. I'm hoping we make this a core part of our defensive iden y going forward, much how OKC has.

Having Harper with his wingspan should help as well. Points in the paint should go up significantly with those guards too.

I think Fox and Castle could actually play a mean full-court press together

I just wanna say but I’m afraid I might jinx it, this forum has become amazing this offseason. Everyone getting along so much better and so much great thought and content posted on here. I think the benefit is we are getting a higher volume of different perspectives on here. Really one of the best nba forums.
