Damn SA. You think DeR sucks and you think White sucks who do you like now that Anderson is gone?
I’ll say this though.. the trade isn’t over yet. Could easily luck into a new really good young player with those two picks or somehow combine them in a trade for a lottery pick and land someone.

Trash takes bro, she thinks Kyle Anderson is a good player.
Where did I say White sucks. I never said that, actually I wanted him to play more this season.
I don’t know who I like this season yet bc they haven’t played. I generally tend to dislike guys who are terrible on defense and thus I value Jimmy more than DeMar but as TimVP explains in his lengthy post the Spurs offense has been anemic and DeMar is supposed to fix that. He may yet win me over with his play in the Spurs. I have liked Dejounte in the past but there’s a lot of questions about his game offensively and I am being moderate in what I expect bc the guy is young still and improvements may be gradual and over time. I definitely like Aldridge, probably my favorite Spur among this bunch untill we get to see them. I think Aldridge is their most complete player. His one deficiency, passing the ball, should be supplemented with good playmaking from demar. We shall see what happens.
Yes we have to see them play. It may be a lot better than initially thought like Oladipo for Paul George, not perceived as a good trade at the time, but after due time it was a great trade, specially considering the cir stances. There’s young players there that may turn out great that weren’t at the time of the trade (not just the picks, but Poltl is still developing too)...
I think if you had asked me who I was most excited to see I’d have to say all the new faces, which includes Demar, plus how the offense looks with him. I look forward to Dijon’s improvements, White (who was barely seen last season), Poltl. I want to see how they figure things out as a team, etc.
Parker loves him some MJ.
We can only hope!
The Spurs for the past two decades depended on superior playmaking. This season's Spurs do have players that can score. But its lost its iden y of having players that can assist other players in making a play and also a loss in defensive minded players. It is hard for me to see that players left with championship experience, Mills, Belinelli and Pau can teach players who have never reached the finals in their entire career.
tp in his debut: 0/3 shooting, 1 assist, 2 turnovers.
While in Memphis, Bickerstaff said that Kyle can play some PG minutes. They were talking about this because the first play of yesterday scrimmage was..Kyle to Conley for 3.
I get the "win-now" for Pop because these are his last years as coach but I would have loved a trade for some of these picks/rookies on draft night.
I know it was against non-NBA level team but still...
Um no. Butler is a well above average defender. IT was among the worst in the league. DeMar is bad but IT was several notches below.
Not in terms of defense, more like - cancer to the team.
Whatever happened to Jabari Parker Jr.? He looks fat now with the Chicago Bulls.
Pat McCaw just became a FA. Any reason to look into him? Might be another body on the wing, still really young also
I have been following McCaw's storyline. He is not very good (although still young).
Problem is he wants at least 2 years guaranteed (unusual for an unproven prospect, which he still is). He declined a Forbes-like deal of $4 mill/2 years bc the second year wasn't guaranteed. Thinking about that, I now wonder if Forbes 2nd season is guaranteed or not, but I would expect it to bc the Spurs like him...
Anyways, McCaw is worth a look to someone but how much he wants is an issue. Also, I think he is still restricted too.
Double checked, my bad, he really is restricted. That said, I would be a lot happier with McCaw than a soft midget Forbes if money is the same
Kyle in the Grizz. couldn't help myself. sue me.
Really happy for him tho. Already with 10 points pretty unreal. Jaren Jackson looks really raw offensively but so young and athletic I think he'll figure it out.
Thanks. I am much more interested to see how Kyle does this season than Number 2. I am very interested to see how different his usage is on the Grizz, and (of course) if he becomes more offense-minded.
Kyle looking good. Curious to see how far he takes the Grizz and his full season numbers as a key piece on that team. Kind of like how everyone was curious about how SJax would turn out after he left, and how Simmons would turn out. The former being pretty good (aside from Malice at the Palace) and the latter being 'meh'
Same here. We already know what Number 2 is capable of, both good and bad.
Even with Bertans's impressive performance I still wish the team had kept Kyle instead. His defense would be a great help alongside DeRozan. If Memphis offered Kyle for Bertans and Forbes I would take the deal in a second.
And that wasn't just anyone's pocket he picked, it was James Harden.
Everyone knows I am a KA fan, but Bertans is playing really well and I think Bertie will be good for the Spurs. He's a better shooter by far and fits Pop's offensive system better (since the Spurs already have their main scorers who are not that much of 3 pt shooters). It is early of course, but I think Bertans will have a good season for the Spurs.
For Kyle, I think his season is going to be tougher, mostly bc the Grizz have less talent, but hopefully he will grow as a player.
Tony Parker 4-6, 8 points, 7 assists in 13 min. He'll probably be in the running for winning 10th man of the year.
I agree with you about bertans. He will have a real opportunity with the way he fits with this team.
I didn't mean to say Bertans is bad, just that Kyle would fit better in a lineup. And you get rid of Forbes.
