Looks like a damn good trade for the Spurs to be quite honest. I liked Hill a lot but he was fairly redundant and not going to be affordable in a year.
Don't know why they took Leonard over Singleton. Anyone have any idea?

CIA Pop? Or just luck that Valaciunas fell through?
i don't know . . .
I had heard today that Singleton had added close to 20 pounds to his college playing weight while building his body . . . maybe there was concern he was getting too big or slow to cover SFs?
no idea, but the FO deserves a hand clap
this was a great move, and we still have the 29th pick. I like it
I also got to see Leonard play quite a bit last year since SDSU is in the MWC and I can tell you I loved what I saw. He definitely was a beast against my Lobos.

On August 18, 2009 he was transferred to Liga ACB club FC Barcelona for an undisclosed fee.[3] He signed a three-year contract with the possibility to leave and join NBA after his second year.[4]
The Spurs also received the 42nd pick and the draft rights to Erazem Lorbek from the Pacers.
Just a damn good trade. 2 prospects, a draft pick, and they keep their first for a guy they were going to have to overpay to keep in a year.
The more I sit on this trade the more I really like it. Well done.
Assholes here scoffed at me when I said I wanted Mario Chalmers in that draft. So much for Hill being the future pg.
He's not a good shooter.
Not yet. He definitely isn't a true wing player yet. Looks like a great defender from the SF spot, but his perimeter game needs serious work.
no he cannot
but he's 6'9" and will play the SF position. He is very long as well, and a tough defender
Spurs will get in working with Chip and improve his shot. He fits more in the Spurs system than RJ ever did
Love the move
Definitely not a great shooter.
Hoping that he could develop those jumpers. If you're going to choose, Sam Young or this guy?
So is Blair on the block now?
Lorbek!!!!!!
Yes!![]()
must be....also, who is backup pg? /sigh This trade just makes me say wtf.
Looks like were gonna get a good player at 29 too
heard he is bruce bowen jr
The biggest factor is that Leonard has the potential to be the best perimeter defender we've had since Bowen. Of course not on Bowen level (remains to be seen if he can elevate it that high) but defending and rebounding is his skillset.
Young Ron Artest maybe but without the drama.
better yet, can this guy spread the floor?
Guess Express Lube will be looking for a new spokesman.
So how about Da'Sean Butler? Please move RJ, Spurs, with Bonner.
