Sharpe compares quite favorably if you align by seasons of experience.
And yet watch the Spurs throw $60 to $70 million at Suckhan
ESPN slop tbh
Devin's contract will be just fine once it's used for matching purposes in a trade tbh.
There is consensus that the biggest need is a back up Center. That market is surprisingly thin, so names like Kornet and Lopez make a lot of sense.
Beyond that, I think folks want to see additional shooting and a backup PF that can push (displace?) Keldon and Mamu. My preferred 2 for 1 candidate is Dean Wade from Cleveland.
Bringing in Yab and Kornet would be good but some people have to go. Consider the roster if those ended up being the only two moves. The addition of Harper plus keeping Blake and Branham pushes Devin to the three. HB and Yab at the 4 and the addition of a backup 5 really only leaves Sochan at the three. That means you have KJ, Champ, Sochan, and Devin all competing for minutes in a position that isn’t even natural for most of them.
The Spurs have proven that they value continuity over all else. They’ve passed on players that had more talent or better fit because the guys they had “knew the system”. But this year has to be different. There’s too much overlapping skill sets and underperformance. We need more than Yab and Kornet. They need to make some moves just to get some actual balance to this roster.
Agreed! but his picking up the option at $50+ million and then seeking a trade would just confirm what we already know, he’s not really interested in winning another championship. If he demanded a trade whatever team trades for him would have to lose key players to make the money work. If he really wanted to win he would have opted out and taken less money on a team he wanted to play for.Lebron running back to AD would be hilarious tbh
I’d love one day for an agent or former GM to explain how the period before the legal tampering period works. As others have pointed out, there is no possible way for teams and agents to work out an agreement within seconds of the tampering period opening… so obviously there is something going on prior to that.
I don’t know if it was the NBA last year or the NFL, but one of those leagues “smartened up” by not having all of these deals announced right when the tampering period opens… they must have realized that only 85% of their fans are complete morons, leaving some people who would start asking “uhhh… how did you do that?” Anyway… just a curiosity of mine as obviously the league has done nothing to curb this
The big issue here is the league can't stop players from talking with their own teams, and they can't stop players from talking to players from other teams. Direct negotiations are a no-no, indirect ones are the name of the game. The July 6 moratorium is silly though.
Great pickup by the Rockets tbh. Dillon Brooks' replacement.
Spurs seem to be the front-runner to land Kornet, so I'm expecting the announcement he is signing with Brooklyn or Washington or some bull
Houston turning Green and Brooks into KD and DFS is pretty insane
Yeah, I hate to say it but Houston looks pretty scary for the next couple years. Gonna be a roadblock if the Spurs hope to contend for anything soon.
Obviously this changes if KD can't stay healthy, but not gonna wish that on anybody.
Bleh, don’t want to see DFS go to Houston. They’re shaping up to be a legitimate contender next year.
FVV/Amen/Jabari/KD/Sengun starting 5 and then a bench unit of Sheppard/DFS/Eason/Adams…only thing they need is one more decent guard and they’re sitting pretty.
DARN. Rockets are loading up. I don't want to see him go there either.
Why would the Lakers let DFS walk tbh?
I don't think he wants to stay.
Kornet is getting a little overrated.
Entering his year 30 season. Sure he could play 15-20 minutes, but he was surrounded by shooters at all times. He doesn't shoot 3s, doesn't space doesn't score.
People remember the game with 7 blocks and that was great. They don't remember the 4 playoff games without a block.
He might be better than nothing. Better than Bassey straight up even without the yearly knee injury. Better than Biyombo? Okay.
But I'm not too excited over him
Wade and sharpe are guys we should go after. Under the radar, decent athleticism, cheap. We only need a backup. Not an allstar in every position.
Also would need a veteran presence.
Actually it seems the Lakes don't want to keep DFS. They want to use their money on a big.
Sharpe going to sign a 2 year/12MM deal to return to Brooklyn, per Shams. Very solid deal…would’ve much rather given him that sort of deal than throw the full MLE at Kornet tbh.
The Spurs just need a serviceable back up C to man the fort for 15 mins a night while Vic rests that doesn't immediately collapse our entire defense. I think he can fill that role. Certainly more than Bassey or Collins or Biyombo
