Have you watched Daye more than a few seconds?
Well again, that doesn't make any sense then. Did anything I posted about Daye's ability or his numbers give you reason to doubt I watched him more than you? If so, please state your case or at least argue the points I have made with regards to Daye's numbers as a SF vs Nando's. Your definition of not watching him was saying people likely only watched him a few seconds.
I told you I watched him a decent amount (more than a few seconds)
Have you watched Daye more than a few seconds?
At least this will shut up people who weren't satisfied with trades done in the summer.
Since that's the case, I wonder if Daye's buyout papers have hit RC's desk yet?
The fact you went straight to the numbers told me pretty much what I needed to know.
There is no need to argue any numbers. If the Spurs were to rely on either of these players in this season's playoffs, they would simply lose the first series that happened. That's the only comparison that matters. In that respect, they suck equally so I don't understand the gnashing of teeth except for the fact that posters seem to like it a lot.
Another basement genius that doesn't provide a name. amusing at this point.
I looked into his Synergy footage and metrics when the Raptors acquired him, tbh..
Not sure since he has some money coming next season. Who knows if they think he's salvageable as an NBA player?
Plenty of time available in Austin before buyout deadlines; though things could be accelerated if some foreign team is interested in him.
They could have done all this WITHOUT signing a worthless pos like Ayres. Someone with Jeff's low talent level, injury history(torn ACL), and inexperience(only played 86 games in 3 years) didn't deserve MLE money
Link to where the Spurs didn't attempt to get said players?
Ill wait.
T-Park, how devastated would you have been if the Spurs had traded Ayres, tbh?..
Well, you don't seem to understand a lot of things tbh..You don't seem to understand that a trade happened and regardless of the impact (which you don't seem to read either because I already prefaced everything by saying the impact was negligible) we on ST are very likely going to analyze it.
You may not like it, but if you don't watch a player (as you admitted) you probably shouldn't intervene in arguments about that player. The fact I went straight to numbers
It's not so much a gnashing of teeth as it is discussing whether or not (no matter the impact) I personally like a trade. In this case, while I agree the both suck, I don't agree they suck equally and therefore don't like the trade (even though I understand the deal). It's also a lead into the bigger picture as to whether or not we was fans think the Spurs bolstered their chances, did enough to help themselves win or made mistakes.
Not that we matter, but that's what happens here. People like to discuss the game because they actually watch a lot of basketball. You personally do not appear to like that, but you can get out of ST whatever you want to get out of it.
Tbh, what do you think the chances are the Spurs just sign Bertans when he finishes his rehab in a few weeks? No idea what his buyout is but he's been rehabbing here in SA iirc.
MUST DO IT!
SINGLETON!
I don't care if Daye sucks or not. Getting rid of DeColo defines the guard heirarchy and the rotation in general. Every minute NDC played for the Spurs would've have been better served given to Mills or Joseph.
I'm not sure what we could've offered the 76ers for Turner and/or Hawes that was better than what they got tbh.
Where did I say they didn't attempt to get those players? I said those guys (with the benefit of hindsight) went pretty cheaply and the Spurs appeared to have comparable assets.
For about 5 seconds, until James put his ass under the basket, Pop realized he couldn't guard him and went to Diaw as the secondary defender.
There's numerous players they could have gotten as insurance and if they really wanted them, they had the assets to make it happen. If they wanted to go big, there was Young, Green and Chandler. If they wanted to go medium, there was Williams and Clark. If they wanted to small, there was Johnson (before the Grizzlies signed him) and yes, Singleton. No one is suggesting he's any good, but physically, he can guard big, athletic three's.
In short stretches, maybe. We're talking roughly 40 mpg over a series. He can't do it. And he was awful on James. Not through any fault of his own of course, he's just flat out not strong enough.
No player as limited and timid as Joseph has any business in a playoff rotation.
The point remains: If Leonard goes down, there's very few teams they could get by against, none of which are the legit contenders. Who tries to win a championship with one player ideally suited for defending the two best players in the world?
Well no .
And we all knew you wouldn't like it no matter what.
It's as predictable as it is hilarious.
I knew you would gnash your teeth and play the alternative timeline game. It's just what you do.
lol
Why do the gnashers have to lie? You guys make yourselves look ridiculous.
Man, I enjoy reading some stuff on this blog and look forward to getting takes on games & trades, but there is some serious over-reaction to the decisions made by the front office. I will miss seeing Nando as he matures as an NBA player. I quite enjoyed what he brought in his limited minutes with the team - save for the turnovers & defensive mistakes. I wouldn't expect too much from Daye but who know's - I didn't really think Jeff Ayers would get the minutes he's been getting and I sure as didn't foresee Matt Bonner playing with this team (with quality minutes much to my dismay) for as long as he has. Still, the playoff rotation as nothing to do with this trade. Parker, Green, Leonard, Duncan, Splitter, Mills, Belinelli, Ginobili, & Diaw is your rotation. Match-ups aside, this is the team and if you think some mid-season trade was going to alter this with what the Spurs had to offer, you are most-likely dreaming. The Spurs are 1 of a few teams that still may win it all and to see anybody learning the Pop system and having good chemistry with this core at this point of the season is not going to happen. This is true with any of the playoff contenders - Pacers might (MIGHT) be an exception but probably not. I thought the Belinelli pick up was solid when I first heard about in the off-season and I sort of scratched my head on the Pendergraph acquisition but everybody analyzing the Buford/Popovich decisions should remember what you witnessed the last 2 nights. Most teams don't have the 6-15 players to be able to pull that off. By the way, I'm all for 2nd guessing some of the bone head moves but I think some of the takes have been a bit misplaced for this trading deadline.
They didn't get anything but expiring contracts and 2nd round picks and/or buyout candidates. Take guard out of the equation. Nando has been a more effective SF than Daye was well. That comes from not only watching Nando on the Spurs when he's played, but watching Daye then also looking at the numbers to verify what we've seen.
What are the chances we try to get Josh Howard now?
Good post, tbh..
While I'm disappointed and was hoping the Spurs could acquire another defender to match up with OKC and Houston on the perimeter, ultimately, the Spurs chances will depend on their top 8, particularly Parker's recovery and Leonard's role, tbh..
Who was the Spurs Danny Granger?
lol
Why do the apologists feel the need to be apologists? They were negligent and you know it.
