    You're just trolling, right?

    Disfrute de la temporada última de Duncan y tome muchas fotografías. Ellos último más largo. Adivino que perderán a dos jugadores (Hill + Parker) en vez de uno porque Parker es ido por fin de temporadas.

    You don't think the Spurs could use a player like Leonard?
    Not sure, don't know enough about him. In theory, yes, but what does it mean "use a player like ...". Losing Hill and getting doesnt really help the spurs contend next year and doesnt quicken the rebuilding process either. I also know that RJ is not going to be glued to the bench with that contract, so how much use can/will you get from Leonard?

    something like that woulda been nice. jefferson would thrive playing alongside chris paul in new orleans.

    Spurs perimeter defense would have been light years better then it was this passed year
    The Grizz would never ever agree to that.

    Also, RJs is still on this roster as well so that sucks.
    Hopefully for not much longer whenever the new CBA is agreed upon.

    We also know hill is a legit NBA player. Does no one have any concerns about Leonard?

    Keeping Hill wouldn't have really helped the Spurs contend next year either. I didn't think the Spurs would make their best improvements through the draft seeing this class was fairly weak, and that the Spurs wouldn't be able to pick in the top 3. Improvement is going to have to come from a trade in the offseason after the new CBA is in place.

    Hill's departure measns more more oppotunities for Neal, and Anderson.

    They play different positions. We know the guy that is going to take the bulk of Hill minutes is a legit NBA player (Neal). So we took a gamble on SF where we were depleted anyways.

    OK, so you have no idea what's going on.

    I respect your candor.

    That trade honestly only benefits the Spurs. The other two teams, not so much.

    Do you, Chump? What are the Spurs plans? How good will Leonard be compared to Hill.

    I'm fairly happy with this move. I think Leonard could be a very good player and just the kind of physical, defense and rebounding 3 the Spurs need. Hollinger's draft stat rated him very high, and Hollinger's numbers are usually very good. I think he can become a better shooter, as many players have, especially after working with Chip Engelland.

    My biggest concern is the stuff I've read about him not having the lateral quickness to guard small forwards and being kind of a "tweener" between the 3 and 4 positions. If he can't guard on the perimeter I fear he would struggle greatly. This also makes me worry Pop would play him too much as a 4. We know Pop likes to go small and maybe this guy supposedly being a great rebounder for his size would invite that approach. I hope not.

    I think they play different positions.

    Do you think they play the same position?

    This is insane. Why draft anyone if you are afraid you aren't sure how they will play?

    Did you immediately question the Hill pick this way?

    I'll always love Ghill but I'm not too concerned about losing him, especially when we have guys like Neal and Anderson in the fold. Also excited about maybe getting a true backup PG instead of watching Hill attempt to play the position. I think Anderson and Neal can definitely bring what George did offensively and defensively he was vastly overrated and Kawhi will be an excellent defender.

    Agreed on the trades, but as of right now, the Spurs seem closer to going backwards than forwards with this Hill deal with regards to contending. Whether there's others to step up or not, spurs gave a known NBA talent up for a questionable one.

    I'm not saying that's bad, just pointing out the reality of that particular situation.

    Hill's departure measns more more oppotunities for Neal, and Anderson.
    That doesn't really answer my question though.

    Assholes here scoffed at me when I said I wanted Mario Chalmers in that draft. So much for Hill being the future pg.
    Chalmers avg 6 points a game and 7.4 in 28 starts he is trash, I live in Miami believe me.

    lol Spurfan. You want a long, defensive-minded SF for years and when they roll the dice on one all you can do is nitpick.
    lol so true

    I'm really hyped about Leonard, I think he has what it takes to become a solid role player in this league. He's a long (wingspan longer than Bynum's), athletic defensive-minded SF who seems like he has the right at ude. He likes to bang in the paint, and his high energy, length, and decent athleticism really helps him for that. He doesn't have a very good shot, but interviews show he's been working on his jumper all summer long, every day. He will only continue to improve in that area throughout the rest of summer and hopefully Chip can help him some as well. Even if he doesn't improve his jumper significantly, he still has many qualities that translate to the NBA game: defense, rebounding, length, work rate/effort. So what if he doesn't have the best offense, that isn't our biggest priority right now. I like the kid's at ude, we got a good prospect in Leonard.

    So it sounds like my Hill jersey is a collectors item, but I like this trade. Let RJ feel some heat at his position if he doesn't play defense like Pop is paying him to.
