Official 2017 Offseason Thread

**SPURt** · 06-08-2017

So is Jaron Blossomgame for real? He's getting a lot of attention in the workouts, and a lot of talk about him being a hard worker. He's looking like a second-rounder - the Spurs have to be looking for a second round steal. He shot the 3 very well as a junior, and went to this year. But if he can do it for one whole season, that looks like something that could be fixed. If he's a hit, having him on the court with Kawhi would be great for the New NBA.

Easily my favorite late 2nd round pick. He's got a low release mechanical looking shot but if he wants it bad enough he should be able to improve that. The other detriment to his draft stock is his age - 24.

French center Jonathan Jeanne, who was expected to be a first-round selection in the 2017 NBA draft, has been diagnosed with Marfan syndrome, a potentially career-ending disorder, agent Bouna Ndiaye told The Vertical.

I don't know what some fans are expecting, but posts like yours are borderline delusional.

Smh, you wanted gasol. Murray contributed this year in the playoffs. Why would he not next year? I dont like batum though for 20 mil.

Drummond is absolutely awful. He's actually a pretty bad defender and his offense is even worse. Only thing he does at a high level is rebound.

Should fit right in with our bigs then.

He's a whole level of bad worse than LMA and Gasol. Would actually take Gasol and Lee over him.

Have you actually watched him play?(I haven't) His offensive stats look solid, nothing crazy but his fg% is pretty efficient.

I thought I read that he was being kept on though the draft, but I could be wrong

You would take Gasol over Drummnond? At least he can rebound

**objective** · 06-10-2017

Drummond ain't been the same since he shaved his back.

Gasol is a decent enough rebounder. He also can shoot and pass. Drummond can rebound and that's it.

He's an inferior version of DeMonkey; all his buckets come off lobs and dunks, and even then he's a pretty average finisher.

He rim protects and blocks shots.

Zaza and Magee aren't asked top do anything else. A defensive big that can dominate down low is stI'll a good thing.
Same with Tristan Thompson.

He's an awful rim protector for his size and length; ranks below average among bigs iirc.

How did that work out for us?

I was avidly against signing Gasol last year and was an outspoken critic of his all season. That said, Gasol performed much better than Drummond would in the Spurs' system even if they somehow landed CP0.
