Size and upside. Wonder why the Spurs never have interest in such players.
Don't have a ton of faith in GS' developmental staff. I can't think of a player they've gotten when that player was bad when they got him but grew into a legitimately good player. They're good at picking guys they can use and then putting those guys into a good position.
I really can not understand, spurs is probably the team that most needs this kind of player, but simply does not care and puts their own players on tasks they can not perform.
Gasol/Poeltl are in the rotation and Metu is our developmental big, so I don't see the need for it. Blossomgame is the only promising two way wing out of the names ya'll have listed to me. At this point he would probably be a better rotational player than KJ McDaniels who's already gotten multiple shots in the NBA and Huestis who doesn't do anything on offense.
San Antonio Spurs depth chart right now for this season:
Bryn Forbes/Patrick Mills
DeMar DeRozan/Marco Belinelli
Rudy Gay/Davis Bertans/Quincy Pondexter
LaMarcus Aldridge/Dante Cunningham
Pau Gasol/Jakob Poeltl/Chimezie Metu
Lol “depth “
i think davis has more potential than poeltl or metu, if he become dedicate he could be clint capela type...
spurs should call sean marks to check if Spencer Dinwiddie could be added for 2 second round picks
How is it that the last three first round draft picks all get some tear in pre-season? All on non-contact injuries while playing a pre-season game.
This is still a playoff-team. Without doubt.
While LMA and DeRozan stay healthy and focus, this team is top #4 in the West.
I thought they would end #2 before the injuries, now #4 is fair.
I watched Blazers, Pels and Nuggets in preseason, they won't get a higher seed than this team.
The spurs have had many seasons of pulling draft successes however when you look back, how many of those picks, free agency pickups, etc. would you describe as athletic?
Is it possible that the spurs excel on creating role players but suck at developing main talents? The kawhi Leonard experiment is the standout success. The question is if the spurs can find that level of talent regularly.
Athleticism is easily measured by scouting so i can imagine the spurs have less advantage vs every other team at picking a future main options. picking injury risks like walker may be the best they can do without tanking.
Just goes to show, how much easier it is to create teams around HOF talent then from scratch. I think the spurs will be ok, and the injuries may in the long run make the next gen talent more affordable. The good news is that the spurs are no worse at talent picking then any other team, it's just that they continue to lose advantages they've had in drafting and team makeup.
the nightmare is over....rest in piece to this dumb ass bas
It will be an interesting race. I am not high on Pels either. They have the worst starting pg in the league in Payton. They have no wing depth at all. They heavily rely on Davis who is usually injury prone. At the end of the day, it's hard to compare an injured side to a healthy side. You kinda think things balance and by December when we are fairly healthy again with Walker and White, while those healthy sides hit the injury bug around the same time. But we all know that's not how sports works. It may realine, it may swing in our favour, or it may swing further away.
Davis isn’t really that injury prone. I thought the same thing as well but when he gets hurt in a game he’s usually back the next game. He’s played in 150 of his last 164 games. Just wanted to throw that out that.
Interesting. His first few seasons has given him that injury stigma I suppose.
Yeah you’re right about that. It has.
spurs should sign antonius cleveland
Gasol and 2 2nd rounders for DeMarre Carrol tbh
Spurs get out of having to pay Gasol his $6.7 in guaranteed money, plus adding a good wing defender, who is also a high volume shooter that can play the 3 and 4 and has his bird rights so they won't have to dip into the MLE to re-sign him.
I think if Gay, LMA, and DDR all play at least 70 games and there are no more major injuries then this is still a good playoff team. They may only be around average on D but could be a top-tier offensive team, that is markings of a high 40's low 50 win team.
He tends to get knicked up and leaves games early and may miss a game or two, but I agree that really isn't injury prone.

spurs adding a first rounder and get the sf they need to replace kiwi who his clone of other formar spurs sean elliott
considering the Howard injury and then fact that Washington have very new good options at small forward (Oubre, D. Robinson, T. Brown) that could be an intersting trade for both teams...
After last Noah news it's a good time to find that gif with Tim
So spurs have to PGs left, wow.
