The tides, I am told, would love to go in and go out. But no one's sure how they could actually make that happen.

What day is the deadline this year?

Neal is better with the ball were he shows good passing and results in running the pnr. He is a better playmaker. They are both very similar shooters. Quick release, can catch and shoot as well as off the dribble. I think Mills has a better midrange game and he is better at attacking the rim. Neal settled for runners and floaters while the smaller Mills can use his quickness to beat defenders to get home.
The difference is in defense. They both get picked off by picks too easily. Teams mercilessly attack Mills with pnr as they should but don't forget they used to do that with Neal too. Mills does lightyears better job chasing his man off the ball or on isos. He does a much better job in help defense in both sagging in and getting his hands on balls as well as getting back to his man when the ball is swung around. Neal was awful at this. He was ineffective and then couldn't get back outside. Mills also does a better job than Neal in getting back in transition. Again because of his quickness.
If I had to guess I would say the next Spurs news would be Bonner getting an extension.
Having both Marco and Neal on the same team would be completely counter productive.
Like having Ayers and CoJo isnt
Lets be clear. Adding Ilyasova and Neal will *not* catapult the Spurs' chances this season at all. It will at best be a lateral entry with some safeguards for the future if Diaw leaves. Thats all.
Lol, yeah Illyasova doesn't make them better at all.
The that's spewed here now is just comical.
Ilyasova makes the Spurs better, but like Spursfanfromafar said, it certainly wouldn't catapult their chances of contending, tbh..
He's having a poor season, he still needs to prove that he can contribute at a high level and that the change of scenery will help him find his motivation..it's far from a guarantee..
I have no interest in Neal..if they can get Middleton back, I would be all-in on this deal, but if Neal is involved, I hope there's another team involved..
Btw, I don't think Amico is legit, tbh..he probably read the rumors thread on SpursTalk, which is what most "reporters" do nowadays..
Amico is not legit. Amick is.
Saying Jeff Ayres is a bigger better Malik Rose is far more comical, tbh.
Truth is Spurs FO most likely wont do , but we can always entertain the idea. It's going to be sad when this FO actually has to work and build a team when the big 3 are all gone.
Thursday 3pm
Young would help tremendously, I'd be fine with either though. With Ersan we get better shooting and about the same rebounding, with Young we get more athleticism. I personally think we need what Young provides a little more, but Ersan is a good player too.
I still think Jeff Green would fit nicely here, and yes he isn't very efficient but he wouldn't be asked to do the things he does in Boston here. He'd essentially be relegated to 3 pt shots, which if i remember correctly he's actually pretty good at statistically, and the occasional drive to the rim. He's a solid defender too.
If we don't come up with an alternative stretch 4, this could be true. I think that signing Thomas earlier was from the hope that he could develop to that stretch 4. But he obviously must not have shown the qualities needed....If I had to guess I would say the next Spurs news would be Bonner getting an extension.
Waiting to see the spurs sign Bonner 3/24 mil.. gotta lock him up before Portland comes calling
Bonner looks done as an NBA rotation player. I don't think he's in the Spurs' long term plans.
Yeah, I think most of us already feel this way. We can still hope, though.
$10M a year for a black Bonner. And he has a heart condition!
I prefer Young for sure. His contract is not too bad at $8-$9 .5 million/year through 15-16. He has stayed healthy throughout his career and even though he is an undersized 4 the league is so small ball orientated that it would probably be an ideal fit.
Ersan is known for starting off extremely slowly but going off in the second half of the season
also a contract year guy so you have to worry about that though
but he is playing on a terrible Bucks team with no real playmakers or coaching and hes a pick and pop guy who needs to be created for
hes also would be the 2nd best rebounder on the team and a very good pick and pop threat
he would allow Splitter to go to the bench where he posts 20+ PERs and feasts on bench bigs while the starting lineup gets the much needed spacing they need
especially with Duncan playing at the rim this season Ersan can play right where hes comfortable
then they still have the option too go big with Splitter/Duncan but they wont have to rely on it
Defense still wins championships obviously but its less important since 2011 when jumpshooting teams like Dallas and the Heat won this decade
Spurs with Ilyasova would still be top 5 defensively but could potentially be by far the best offensive team in the league
Spurs have posted like 120+ OffRtg ratings with Bonner on the floor
just imagine what they could do with a true NBA caliber stretch 4
Young would be awesome, Illyasova would be pointless. I'd rather the Spurs have Bonner than Illyasova.
Still think the spurs stand pat as usual. The Bucks aren't just going to fork over Ilysova for the sake of it. They'll demand something in return, something better than a package of Bonner, De Colo, and/or Baynes..
Just extend Bonner and Ayres to long term contracts and call it a day.
