Spurs 2018 offseason thread

[alpha_HaZE]

The Woj Podcast with Jarred Dudley that Immortal Spur said to listen to, does Jarred talk about the Spurs in it?

He does a bit, to me the biggest takeaway is that he clearly states that due to league interests certain teams have to be that much better than their opponent to advance in the playoffs. Us vs OKC or CP3 Clippers is a perfect example of that.

That was an interesting draft, hahahahahaha

[Fusternino]

Mills's contract looking a lot better since the Marcus Smart re-signing, tbh.

[BillMc]

Gay isn't projected to start, just like he didn't last year. I have a decent amount of confidence that Murray/Mills/DeRozan/LMA/Gasol or Bertans would be able to space decently enough. They may not shoot a bunch of threes because the top two options aren't shooters, but they should do well enough to keep up with other teams.

If you are starting Davis, are you replacing Pau and have LMA be the 5? Or are envisioning Murray, DeRozen, Bertans, LMA, Gasol?

[cutewizard]

Chuck is one funny human, selecting Iverson number one overall, hahahahahahahhaah

[dbestpro]

Dirk, Durant, James, and Howard are the only active players chosen, which easily shows that the best of the NBA was in the past and not the present. Tremendous respect given to the physical players of the 70s which is often overlooked by those who never saw them play.

Replacing Gasol.

I just skipped to the end. WTF, it looks like only one person picked TD.

It was a draft. You only select one person.

I'm gonna try that at my next fantasy football draft.

"Round 10, pick 5, I take Le'Veon Bell"
"Um, he was taken with the second overall pick"
" YOU I'M TAKING HIM ANYWAY"

Only Reggie and Kerr’s team make sense. The rest don’t know what they’re doing. McHale kept sticking with Celtics when they’re still great players available. Charles just plain dumb, with the exception of Timmy pick but nobody to pass him the ball

[John B]

Can Spurs trade Pau+ for Bazemore? 7-0 wingspan who can guard the SF position. Hawks in rebuilding and can dump Gasol expiring contract. Rockets and Pelicans are looking to trade for him.

OT question: Do NBA players wear a different pair of shoes for every game or do they use the same pair multiple times?

They go through shoes just as often as TP goes through women, tbh

Gasol is better than Bazemore. I'd want something back in that deal and would not be remotely willing to give something in addition to Pau.

I don't know but it's gay as if they wear a new pair every game.

Poeltl and today’s NBA make Gasol pretty much dinosaur. Spurs are thin on 3 and D. I think Bazemore has a lot of swagger and pretty athletic and can run with our group, looks like young Horry but also reminds me of him tbh. Can Spurs trade anyone for this guy? Maybe Pau, 2019 2nd round (since we have two 1st pick next year) and maybe BP3?

Not anything to laugh about. Pau is better than Baze and Poe. Kent isn't a young Horry, and especially isn't on a reasonable trajectory to be Prime Horry. He's 6-5 for s sake.

[szkorhetz]

Actually, Bazemore would make some sense.

[Gordy58]

I think the spurs were interested in bazemore a couple years ago, but I feel like our roster is set already

[CGD]

I’d rather see if WAS could cough up anything decent in a Ian for Pau swap.

I think they change to new shoes every few gamesor so, I mean brand new shoes need to be broken in. When playing night in and night out, I imagine players would want their shoes to be as comfortable as possible. , I wear boots for my job and I hate having to suffer through blisters while breaking them in.
