Any idea who that guy on the left is?

Metu is skinny as. I don't think he could even play pf with that frame.

[BackHome]

PF position is changing to more length and speed to old days bruisers but I agree he needs to add about 15 pds of muscle. Even with his slight frame I think he could add it and not mess with his speed

Man, Dejounte and his girl seem to wear matching clothes quite often.

You know its her idea. Just her way of marking her turf.

Looking at 2019 draft prospects for SF's. I know nothing about college basketball but this: http://www.nbadraftroom.com/2017/08/...loaded-at.html suggests its a good draft. If we can move into the late lottery using both picks and Forbes if he has a great season then we can draft the SF of the future and have a rotation of pick/Gay/Blossomgame.

EDIT: Looks like two French combo forwards are available. Interesting . . .

I could see the Spurs ending up with say the 23rd (theirs) and if everything goes right- the 26th pick. I don't think those two picks get us to the lottery, and I high doubt Forbes has any value in a trade- either now or then. He has a bunch of compe ion (Mills, Murray, DDR, White, Beli) and the worse of those player.

Maybe those two picks get us up to 18 but then is it really worth it to give up a second 1st to jump five spots? Unless it's a prospect the Spurs are very high on. Its could end up playing out that PATFO may have two player wings that they end up targeting and they fall to the 20's because of the position's depth in the 1st round, then the Spurs may be better off keeping both picks and using Toronto's to stash a player.

Seeing a lot of rumble for us drafting Garland (Vanderbilt PG) or Tillie. It looks like anyone outside of Barrett/Zion Williamson/Sekou/Little could fall out of the lottery. Maybe just draft two of whoever and see if one pans out while not re-signing Cunningham/Pondexter.

And he doesn't look much taller than walker ...

Oh wait......

I can't see the pics you post anymore. My phone messed up an I had to reset it. Idk what has changed, is it something special you know of I should change?

Yet Bertans, who goes +.5 in height, equal in weight, -2.5 in wingspan, can.

And Bell, who goes -1.5 in height, -1 in weight, -.75 in wingspan, can play C.

Not impossible Spurs end up a 2nd tier team, but 3rd (14-22) is more likely. Specifically, the mid-high portion of that is probably most likely. The Raptors' pick should be 27-30. Combined, that could probably get them a late lottery-mid round pick.

It's worth it to move up if they think it's the difference between getting a possible long term answer at SF or not. That needs to be the goal more so than depth considering the gaping hole at and importance of that position, as well as the decent haul of young talent they've ac ulated the past few years.

Hunter seems interesting and even though it means little at this stage, as of right now is thought to go in the 3rd tier range.

Stopped watched college sports more or less after 2010-2011 when UMD essentially fired both their basketball and football coaches. Decided to leave the ACC for no good reason in 2012. Glad Murray still gets a kick of the stuff, though.

Honestly, I'm wondering if we should move whatever it takes to get Sekou. The offer would need to go well beyond both picks/rights to Hanga/Forbes (if he has a great season). Would need to include some of White/rights to Milutinov/rights to Blossomgame. I'm really sold on him.

A player changes his agent and most people think he will leave his team next offseason...

[monkeypunk]

I'm excited for this new season as long as DDR can play as part of a team. Kawhi is a crazy good talent but he wasn't what won in 2014, it was the Beautiful Game, moving the ball, getting around defenses and finding the open man for the best shot. KLs post 2014 trajectory was not in line with that as his ISO success inflated his touches which runs counter to the BG.

Maybe I'm smoking the hopium but with a squad of hungry team guys, we can be a lot more flexible on how we attack the games then just throw KL at them. I also think a vocal leader like DDR can have a greater impact on the team play / chemistry than KL who didn't talk but wanted all the touches. This would be the perfect time for POP to break all the BG plays and footage and build the new guys foundation upon it. After a few more years of Pop (praying boy with dog.jpg) he can leave the team with the culture that has meant the most to the team and the city.

Selfless teamwork, defensive study and daily effort is a winning strategy.
