Wesley

Awesome

[Spurs Brazil]

Can we get Wesley back?

No, the Spurs are the only team that can't sign him

Update: Blake Wesley agreed to a buyout with the Wizards to allow the former Spurs first-round pick to become a free agent, sources told Hoopshype
. Wesley, a strong perimeter defender, shot 37% on threes in the second half last season and expects to land in a new role elsewhere.

BREAKING: The Los Angeles Lakers are planning to waive guard Shake Milton, in a corresponding move, sources confirmed to

But that's the whole point, is it not? You can't hand-waive just how disastrous of a candidate Donald Trump was in the last election -- the fact that a majority of Americans could not understand the terrible danger they were putting themselves, and the world, through by voting for him, is the whole point.

And as expected by most, he has gone on to sow discord, chaos and upheaval both in his own country, and the world at large; has ed over billions in international trade middling, politic games, not to mention his support of Russia in the war with Ukraine, the Musk fiasco, taking the USA out of key international ins utions, pushing the US economy towards fossil fuel dependency............. The ICE with the normalization of hunting down legal citizens of the "freest country in the world" and throwing them in shanty prisons.........................

...Not to mention Epstein.

If you can explain how "iden y politics" or a "lack of democracy in the primary candidate selection" were a worse choice than this, you'll have won a seat in the US Congress, tbh

Nope, mUh fIgHt aGaInsY IdEn Y PoLitiCs matters more than facism. So many of these folks are on the wrong side of history.

[GAustex]

Lol

[tbdog]

Can we get Wesley back?

No. That rule changed yonks ago. He'll have to sign or be traded to another team first or wait a year.

[cutewizard]

Bol Bol could be fodder lol

[Uriel]

Shame. Would’ve loved to have Wesley back. He’s still incredibly young and his upside remains high, if he pans out.

[Ice009]

Would you guys have preferred Wesley (if he didn't have to be thrown in for salary filler) over JMac?

[Mr. Body]

Tryna read the tea leaves after the last game, who played, etc.

Seems like Minix is on the roster, which is good. He's what you want from a third string backup.

I'm not sure about Ingram. I think they like him a ton. Smart connective player. He's probably going to make some money playing for teams in Europe. Just don't think he's an NBA guy.

DJG, it looks like they're taking a pass on, my guess. Earlier I thought the SAS couldn't let him slip away, an aggressive scorer with other abilities. Now I think he may be looking for a bigger role elsewhere than the league, which makes sense.

What happens with the last slots is a bit of a mystery here.

I think it will come down to whether DJG would accept a two way, and if not, then he’ll go elsewhere.

[RC_Drunkford]

Might be. Smith apologized when he found out Big Dog's mother died but if he had done any research before running his fat mouth he could have avoided sounding like an idiot. All of us that follow the Spurs knew that's why he he missed those Finals games but Stephen A thought it was for no good reason as if he would have left the team to go to Vegas or something. I'll always be grateful to Big Dog for that banner and don't think the Spurs would have won it without his performance in Game 1.

Big Dog and Nazr Mohammed were the unsung heroes of that le run tbh

The Los Angeles Lakers have waived guard Jordan Goodwin, sources tell ESPN. Goodwin emerged as a key rotation piece for JJ Re late last season, playing 29 games and four playoff contests. Goodwin and Shake Milton were released to clear space for arrival of Marcus Smart.

[Uriel]

Wherever he goes, Knueppel is just a winner.

[Mr. Body]

This is the first trophy of any kind Charlotte has ever won. They've never even won a division le before.

[sfernald]

This is the first trophy of any kind Charlotte has ever won. They've never even won a division le before.

Knueppel and McNeeley look like pretty good picks so far.

[BatManu20]

Should've chosen Denver imo but oh well. Good for him tbh.

[LeBowen]

Chris Paul 1985
Brook Lopez 1988
Nicolas Batum 1988
James Harden 1989
nephew 1991
Bogdan Bogdanovic 1992
Kris Dunn 1994
Derrick Jones Jr 1997
Ivica Zubac 1997
John Collins 1997

One of the oldest rotations ever.

[dn0774]

Yea, Denver if you squint hard enough actually has a sliver of a chance at a ring, Clippers have none. I am guessing the decision came down to location entirely.

[mo7888]

If they can move off Melo they might be ready to start building something..

[LeBowen]

A chance?
They're the biggest threat to OKC as of now.
Took them all the way to 7 games with 6.5 men rotation.
They replaced Russ and MPJ with Cam Johnson, Valanciunas, THJ and Bruce Brown.
If they can stay healthy, I'd say OKC-DEN series would be a 50-50 matchup.

[Leetonidas]

Disagree. Nuggets have more than a sliver. The Clippers also have a sliver themselves. They're old as but if they're healthy playoff time (unlikely) and gelling they also have a solid shot. They were solid this last season and improved a lot of their weaknesses over the summer

[Trueblood]

I think it will come down to whether DJG would accept a two way, and if not, then he’ll go elsewhere.

I just read that he turned down the offers from Europe because he wants to play in the NBA. At this point you have to think the Spurs have at least offered him a two way but he’s holding out for an offer from a team he can get more playing time on.
