Pop deserves better ...
Props for keeping us informed on the back room stuff!
Pop deserves better ...
Great analysis by timvp. Agree with most of it. Giving up Danny is a tough pill to swallow especially considering the team now has no 3&D proven players. I would've loved to know what would the Raps exclude from their part of the deal if DG wasn't involved.
Right now number one priority should be trying to find someone with some similarities to Dannys game in the trade market (Mills for someone on a equally bad contract that could shoot and defend for example, Snell or Courtney Lee come to mind).
Murray's fit with the current roster is questionable imo at this point. Even though his defense is a much valued comodity with this current squad his lack of shooting is an agravant to the spacing problem. Trading him for someone with similar potential from a quantative standpoint but different qualities would be something worth exploring.
What? What takes have I missed on?
tbh any team on the other side of the Kawhi trade was going to crush it.
I DOUBT HE STAYS BUT YOU ARE WASTING A YEAR OF JAMESKiwi nothing like "Playoff P"
Kiwi from Killa Cali, yet yall deported him to the North Pole. You think he staying there?
Great post. Most Spurfan here is delusional. Nobody wanted to offer anything. You hope PATFO can pull a trick out of the hat without a hat. We were gonna get waxed no matter what. Duh. Top 3 player doesn't yield equal value ever. The next best offer was a paltry Saric, Covington and pick. LMAO..Just be glad this is over and we can move on. All NBA player and 4 time All Star is better than Saric and C
We won 47 games last year and were a couple games out of third in the West. Demar while no playoff monster led his team to first in the East. I think it's safe to say we'll be hovering around 60 wins and top 3 in the West. Houston is weaker and are planning on adding Carmelo lol. We have an outside shot at second. Really feel we are gonna do really well in the season but the playoffs may be a disaster. We'll see if the culture and Pop have any affect on Demar. This is all based on if we are healthy. There is a lot of upside with this team tho depending on what Murray can do and if White can be what we think he can be. Also have a reliable shooter like Marco should help. I think the problem with the shooters was that the missing was contagious. Danny while good on d, hasn't had his stroke in like 3 years. Just need one knock down shooter to release the pressure valve. Good shooting is contagious.
Lakers got Bron/Rondo/Mcgee and Lance but lost Randle and Brook Lopez.
OKC chose staying way over the cap for a team led by Russ/PG and Melo (for now) ...they couls have paid almost the same for a team with KD/Harden and Russ
Spurs turned Kawhi, Danny Green, Kyle Anderson and Enrique in to $83 million of DD, Poetl, a protected 1st, Belli and dante Cuningham
Something we need to keep an eye on is whether Kawhi shows up for his physical within the next 48 hours or not and/or whether Toronto waives his physical exam.
I like what the Spurs did. DDR was the BEST player any team offered to us. His defense is a concern, but we are a better team than last year. There is no deny about that. So I expect the Spurs to make the playoffs while developing our young players; DJ, Lonnie, Derrick, Jaron, Metu, Davis, Bryn at least half of them will turn out to be solid NBA players. And if one or two becomes an ALL-STAR say DJ and Lonnie, then we are set.

Killa, you need to make up your mind. either you're coming around here to play nice and hedge on every single take you have or troll grey Spurfan. I don't think you're particularly good at either but this flip flopping has to be difficult for you my man
That's how the Lakers really ed this up. They're basically putting an entire season of prime LeBron on mortgage because they didn't want to give up young talent.
LeBron + Kawhi could run with any team in the league. But LeBron is leaving his prime soon, and by the time the young bucks are good enough to contend, he'll be on the wrong side of 38.
that, I blame them 100%. The only good thing about this trade is sending Kawhi as far away from LA as possible.
^ agreed
Watch, SA will have a better record than LA with Lebron and they will shut up
CIA Pop won't say what he wanted from Maginka. But yall wanted the whole farm and future picks from what I read. Boiled down: your hatred for the Lakers netted you 40 cents on the dollar. DeFrozen might not even make the Western Conference all star team, yet you traded your franchise player for him
Since we apparently have a slew of people who have direct lines to GMs in this league, what other offers were made for Kawhi? Keep in mind that hearing it on RealGM or Lakersground doesn't count.
Does derozan make the all star team in the west?
At least Methlahoma is in the states. Kiwi now needs a passport to attend his autism classes after practice. That's some bull son
Also, White needs to be in the rotation. Him and Murray's possible development are the only things worth looking forward to next season.
And Manu, hopefully..
Shaq didn't sit out the season and say he was only going to one place.Truth bombs. He's still a slightly better 3pt shooter than DeFrozen and a much better defender.
And to give up your franchise player for that package? Worse than what we got for Shaq in 2004 IMO. DeFrozen a nice player, but at $27 milli? And he has to battle in the West? Damn.
ill take playoff rondo over playoffs derozan
At least that will be covered now that he's in a nation with a real healthcare system.At least Methlahoma is in the states. Kiwi now needs a passport to attend his autism classes after practice. That's some bull son
I'm leaning to not wanting Manu back, tbh. I just want the Spurs to get one bonafide SF, at least one.
Fair points. I don't know about screwing the pooch though. Theory: Ingram and Kuz will both eat well while every team focuses on stopping the Kang. Tatum and Brown feasted for the same reasons playing off of Kyrie.
Instead of being 1st options, they're 2nd/3rd options - not drawing the best perimeter defenders. Teams will put their dobermans on LeBron and rightfully so.
