Collins makes $26M next year. It's not as easy as being like...hey John, you want to come play here?
If Utah doesn't like our spare parts we would include in a trade, not much PATFO can do about that.
OK lets..... ikng.... go!

How would you rank those bigs in order of preference?
They're really banking on Sochan. Let's hope his 3 point shot actually improved and isn't just some practice highlights nonsense.
The difference is the caliber of player Fox is and the caliber of whatever scraps is left out there available in FA or in trade. Because Fox is the type of player he is, it’s easier to shed ourselves of him if the situation calls for it whereas whatever “ideal fit” PF folks are dreaming about right now will be far from ideal because 1) we don’t have the assets to get anyone actually good and 2) let’s be real, John Collins is nowhere near as good a player for this team as people are saying he is. It’s funny because i’m the guy usually pro trade and anti-do nothing, but JC ain’t it. Dude is mid.
carter will reach 6’8
We're talking about the 5th option in our line up (in the case of John Collins). Mid would be an upgrade.
But there are other options that don't require much of a commitment at all that would still help our PF position, even if not a starter. We don't have any PFs on our roster currently, just a bunch of SFs who we play at PF because we have no other options. Spurs should do something about that. Doing nothing will limit how far the Spurs can go. You say "second round isn't good enough" for whatever menial commitment would be required... but is not making the second round good enough for the commitment required to bring in and keep Fox? You can't simply excuse that commitment because you think you can trade him later. That's just foolish logic.
KORN DOG
"We are not good enough yet, so there's no reason to try and adress our needs" is certainly a take, tbh.
Mid John Collins would be the third best player on the entire roster tbh
You are being facetious, but this is legitimately one of many reasons why Korn is a great add. He's going to clean up a lot of Vassell and KJ bricks.
It won the Lakers a championship with Bynum-Pau cleaning up Kirby’s bricks so why not.
Perfect pick up. This year is gonna be fun to watch!
Someone posted a video or Kornet shooting 3’s, I looked up his BBRef stats and back in 2017-2021this mfer was jacking 3’s at a reasonable clip.
70-193 for 36% from 3 in 2018-2019. Then it kind of went south the next year and he stopped shooting.
I think anyone complaining about the money is being a little silly. The Spurs just addressed their biggest need within 2 hours of FA starting, and did it with arguably the best candidate out there. Even if you think he’s only worth $8MM/year (which I disagree with fwiw), is that really worth harping on?
Kornet is the exact type of big we need. Now let’s just add someone who can play the 3/4 and shoot + defend at a respectable level and we’re cooking.
Is yabusele still in play, I really like him
Yea he was shooting the 3 ball at about league average his first 2 years in the league. Then he had a down year shooting his 3rd year and he basically stopped. Need to bring back this version of Kornet cause that would be a really nice weapon to have offensively off the bench and would really help space the floor for our second unit.
We’re … probably just gonna keep going back and forth on this until one of us gets tired. It’s clear we’re not going to see eye to eye on this. Saying the spurs don’t have any PFs is a stretch and not objectively true. You may not think they’re good enough there, and that would be a fair statement. The Spurs have not not done anything - they addressed a serious need (i know you didn’t make that post, but you agreed with it) so i’m not sure why my take is being misrepresented that way. Making another Kornet type move but for the PF spot is certainly something I wouldnt be opposed to, it’s anything way beyond that that I would be opposed.
Him or someone like him. If it's not Collins, then whoever. We need the next Barnes replacement (I'd even be willing to give up some in 3P% for better rebounding and same defense).
Yabusele and if not possible, Larry Nance Jr to round it up and consider it a great offseason.
Two ways: if money was all equal - Sharpe/Kornet tie, Lopez, Reed, Capela, Looney
With contracts that were handed out - Sharpe, Lopez, Kornet Reed, Capela, Looney
Best Back-up C on the market, of course he is going to demand the most guaranteed money. Not sure what the fuss is about
I love Wemby, but it is pretty clear he is never going to be a shoo in for 80 games/35mpg every season and more like a 72-74 games guy whose minutes load getting constantly watched at least in the regular season. Spurs needed legit help to alleviate their rebounding/rim protections issues in non-Wemby minutes.
Kornet is a tier above B.Lopez/Capela and the likes at this stage of their careers and the price is only marginally higher. No-brainer signing.

I love this move so much. He’s a late bloomer with a high BBIQ, his WS/48 the last two years has been elite, he’s a great offensive rebounder, and his assist to turnover ratio was 4:1 last year. If he just backs Wemby up he’ll be worth it, but if it turns out he & Wemby can play together effectively for short stints, it could be the most underrated move of the summer.
Yeah not a lot mileage on his body (only 350 career games) or any significant injury history. This contract should cover the meat of his prime.
