    Len is awful . . . I went to UMD and thought he would be a bust when he was drafted. Isn't Nogueira an RFA? I'd love to get him but I think Raptors would match anything.

    He'd still be a better fit than Okafor or Monroe.

    The Raptors didn't offer him a qualifying offer.

    At least Spurs got a forward. 13 players, full roster with Walker doing G-league time with Metu. Spurs probably will find another Laverne type to play backup center.

    Black, Plumlee, Okafor and Speights still available. My bet is Spurs sign Speights

    Speights signed in China. He's not Spurs material and would be a poor fit anyway. They don't need another pick-and-pop/stretch big or post up big (Monroe, Okafor). They need a rim runner/finisher.

    What? No. You and I are just on different wavelengths. The Joff point was not about upside, but to point out I am not talking about 2-way players. Joff was not a two-way player, he was on the full time roster was the point. I am not just asking for two way guys by asking to go with youth over Dante.
    And you will from now on.

    We got a lot of youth already and are set to get more in a Kawhi trade.

    Hmmm . . . I'd give him a try then.

    UMD hoops has had an awful time in the draft recently. Trimble, Len, and Jordan Williams all are busts because they either went a year earlier or later than they should have.

    Best case: Young Ime Udoka
    Worst case: Older Ime Udoka

    Ok - but my point is regardless of the Kawhi trade (or lets say independent of the Kawhi trade) going with youth over someone like Dante doesn’t mean you are looking to rebuild or only want youth.

    It makes sense, IMO, to sign youth over guys like Dante in every situation for every team. If it was a vet that was truly viewed as a positive on a team really pushing to win, then I understand. But Dante isn’t some vet that is going to produce above a replacement level player IMO.

    As I said, you will always make this choice.

    Dante doesn’t hurt SA, im glad it’s a one year deal. I was unhappy with Bertans getting 2nd year guaranteed (even though he’s young, so like I said, it’s not like I just want all youth) but hopefully Beli’s deals is not guaranteed in year 2. That would be great, but I doubt it.

    Spurs haven’t withdrawn their QO to Hilliard.

    Joffrey Lauvergne had upside?

    lol
    The only upside of Joff was when he went to the bench. Addition by subtraction.

    Is that just for a two-way? There's still another two-way spot open, perhaps that another center or the other guy we used to have.

    Makes sense in theory. In reality, they're clearly trying to remain as compe ive as possible (at least before October 17th, I'd be shocked if Leonard were traded and a featured offensive wing wasn't coming back) and they needed another forward defender, who can make a 3, for cheap. If they didn't think Blossomgame could do the latter well enough yet, then there wasn't a viable alternative.

    It is what it is. No biggie just not the best use of a spot IMO but ultimately painless and harmless

    That's kind of my issue with this FO. They're in denial. They should just be decisive and start the rebuild fully (i.e. invest in more youth) than to keep signing low ceiling marginal rotation players. But it is for the end of the bench so who cares indeed. Just saying I'd rather us have the G league equivalent of a Jordan Bell or whatever than some journeyman who will be out of the league next year.
