No, but there arent any defensive bigs, drummond and gasol are both . You dont even need a big since like 2000
The 4 years left and 22 million a year is scary. That's going to be hard to move.

Like Chad Ford, likely being kept on through the draft. Awkward quandary for guys like them and ones who were told contracts wouldn't be renewed. Keep working and get paid by ESPN (but can't start fresh yet) or go elsewhere and contract doesn't get paid out.
And to the other guy who thought Drummond is a good offensive player because of his FG%...
A rim protector is still a plus. And a guy that rebounds.
Everyone thinks the Warriors are winning with small ball. But they are long and tall.
Durant is 7'
Green is 6'8"
Zaza is 6'10"
McGee is 7'
Thompson is 6'7"
Tall has nothing to do with it, other than youre at a mismatch when you try to play the traditional 12345 body size like sa. Pau or lma dont out rebound anyone or rim protect. Anyone witb a brain saw gsw just bait with screens to get a matchup.
The only time that 2 big lineup of lma and pau will work is when they are both scoring, which they can only do w jumpers ironically.
Spurs dont beed a big. They (lma and pau) dont pick n roll and they dont set screens. Small ball is in reference to perimeter play versus pound inside, not average height.
11 Days away from the draft.
I think we are agreeing in different ways. An athletic big is still important, because he has to defend the pick and roll.
Best stretch in the NBA season after a Spurs playoff run, tbh
Just glad Spurs didn't lose in the first round as then it would feel like an eternity until the draft.
Rudy Gay officially opted out of his contract.
For the min? Hop on the Spurs' caravan Gay fella.
Wonder if he thinks he is worth more thab what he was getting from kings.. dude is iso though
Well, the goal is officially set: dethrone the Warriors.
I'll take Rudy Gay over Fathead, tbh. Too bad he'll likely want too much $$$$.
Ill agree that an athletic big is useful, but that doesnt describe any big we have now
Finally the offseason. Terrible playoff product this year.
Hey i was just discussing with a friend here, would you do this trade? Would NO?

Per Woj podcast, Celtics are top threat to sign Blake Griffin.
Seems like that that would help sway CP to come here

Adrian Wojnarowski: People around NBA feel LeBron James likely to join Lakers or Clippers
JJ is as good as gone and they have no cap space assuming they keep both the Blake and CP3 holds. If Blake leaves, they could essentially replace his salary with someone else and stay under the cap and keep CP3 with Bird rights. Or go JJ plus a $7ish million guy.
Either way, hard to see that team being as good next year as last year unless Blake AND JJ come back.
Does that mean they'd be out of the Hayward running?
Not if there is a chance James goes there this or next year.
I'd be surprised if James ever goes west. The East is too easy a route to the finals every year.
Does woj know anything lebron is gonna do?
I don't know; kinda think he's cool with his three rings, and the legacy cementing run he had last year. Part of me thinks he really wants to take his brand to the next level by being in LA, doing movies, being associated with a big brand like the Lakers, Asia exposure, etc.
