Let's call it like it is... I'm a loser

Because I rub the fact I know more about the NBA than them in their faces.

So you rubbing yourself(tmi, tbh) equates to knowing more than the next guy?

hill defers too much. i mean, i don't blame him since there are 3 superstars on his team who are some of the best players to play the game. perhaps on the pacers he can spread his wings a bit more. but on the spurs... quinn has more balls than hill. sad but true.

Hill was flying all over the court in the playoffs. Shots maybe didn't go down, but they weren't going down for hardly anybody. Mostly due to Parker's inability to beat Conley and create any solid opportunities for teammates.

As a true freshman, dumbass. Those are good stats for a true freshman and Joseph brings more to the table than just stats. He'll develop into a damn good on the ball defender at this level with experience and he can hit the corner 3

His minutes will go to Neal who is a much better offensive player than Hill, a better or just as good creator on offense as Hill, better size etc. His minutes will also go to Anderson who has more potential than Hill thanks to his size and skill set, dude can pass, score, and shoot like a beast.

Leonard has been compared to guys like Marion, M'Bah A Moute, and Gerald Wallace. Most mock drafts had him going in the top 10 (around 7-10). Leonard can defend big SF's/Guards, rebound (13th best re-bounder in the country) like crazy which WILL translate to the NBA, if you did any research on him you'd know that he totally revamped his shot mechanics this off season and was shooting lights out in workouts, don't forget the Spurs have CHIP ENGELLAND. This Spurs team wants to get back to the defensive team that it once was and by drafting Leonard they're getting back to that. Leonard is also a high motor guy that hustles like crazy, has a 7'3 wingspan (bigger than Blair's, Bynum's, Splitter's etc!) with 11.5 hands, and an 8'10 standing reach. He can defend extremely well, one of the best defensive players in the draft, he has the potential to be a lock down defender in the NBA. The Spurs got a steal with this guy going at 15.

The Spurs FINALLY got a long, defensive small forward they've been going after since Bowen retired. Last year they would get destroyed by SF's because they'd score on Hill/Neal at will (they'd guard SF because there were no back up SF's on the roster!) but thanks to Anderson getting minutes due to Hill's trade and Leonard that won't happen anymore. Don't forget Leonard may even start with RJ's piss poor play!

As for Joseph, he was just a rookie at UT with a lot of talent, obviously the Spurs' FO saw something special in this guy so they drafted him. I trust our FO 100% with their draft picks. It's been said that Joseph is a very good defender with great lateral speed.

Remember the Spurs aren't done making moves. They still want to get rid of RJ very badly and they can sign or trade for a big man during the off season.

All I heard was "I'm wrong. I will be reminded of it by the bumping of this thread. Kawli Loser = James Gist Jr.

Great. When is it that you expect he'll develop into this damn good on the ball defender? 4 years from now when the Spurs are completely irrelevant? That will be nice. The move will have paid off.

edit: It really won't matter if he does develop into something good, anyway. He will be traded, on draft night, for 5 cents on the dollar. Why? Well, because the owner is cheap and also a drunk.

Let's call it like it is. Your takes the last couple of days leading up to the draft, and especially in the Tony trade thread, have sucked.

Around the same level as KBP, tbh

You're right. I should have seen this Hill for James Gist Jr. trade for what it is... another Spurs front office brilliant move!

Duncan is my boy. It's just common sense that you don't get rid of players like George Hill, especially for what they traded him for.

He's not an all-star. He's not a HOF player. He's not an all-time great Spur. He was a role player. It's common sense that role players are expendable.

**NickiRasgo** · 06-24-2011

Man, let's be thankful, at least, Spurs did something to our roster.

**ElNono** · 06-24-2011

I got a little sad when George was traded. 10 seconds later I got over it though.

It's possible that he could achieve all-star status at some point, that's beside the point. There's a reason the Lakers never parted ways with Fisher, even though he's 'just a role player'.

Actually they did. He played with Golden State and Utah. Then came back to LA after Utah let him out of his contract.

Edit: And he was there starting PG not their backup PG.
