Really great to have JMCDonald to offer this amazing insight into the team.
Speaking of the Fakers, whether anybody was or not, have people seen this? Now there's some mighty fancy BBall.

I'm hoping we can contain the Nash/Staudamire PNR. Thats been killing us. I'm sure Pringles is going to push the 8 second or less offense on our #1 Defense again.
But they don't have much of a D, Timmy will have his way with Amare. Parker will get in the paint at will and Manu will probably go for 45pts again.
wait a sec...what year is this?

San Antonio Spurs Receive: Allen Crabbe, Spencer Dinwiddie
Brooklyn Nets: Pau Gasol, Quincy Pondexter
A lot has to fall into place for this trade to pique the interests of both parties.
The Nets aren't looking to move Spencer Dinwiddie. He became extension-eligible Dec. 8, and they're hoping to keep him around long term, per Wojnarowski. But D'Angelo Russell is a restricted free agent this summer, and they have to start thinking about Caris LeVert's next contract (extension-eligible in July).
Thoroughly reinvesting in a core that hasn't yet needled its way into the postseason discussion is out of the question. The Nets are still rebuilding, and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson is headed for restricted free agency as well. They can't pay everyone. The Dinwiddie-Russell combination feels like an either-or situation.
Brooklyn could try parlaying one of them into a first-round pick. That'll be tough. Plenty of teams have money to pitch them this summer, and front offices are hesitant to pony up assets for non-stars nearing hefty raises. Dinwiddie is especially hard to evaluate as a trade asset. He's not a restricted free agent, so if the Nets don't give him an extension, he can walk free and clear.
Turning him into extra cap space is enticing if they believe in their curb appeal. Subbing out Allen Crabbe's $18.5 million salary next year with Pau Gasol's $6.7 million guarantee—that number could go down in a potential buyout—gives them a cakewalk to more than $50 million in spending power if they don't overpay Russell.
Crabbe is an integral part of the rotation, but he's a standstill specialist who doesn't do much else. The Nets overvalued him in 2016 free agency (admittedly, so did yours truly), and then again when they traded for him in 2017. They shouldn't make that mistake again.
The Spurs, meanwhile, are in a weird spot. FiveThirtyEight gives them less than a 5 percent chance of making the playoffs. They could throw in the towel and look to regroup next year with a high draft pick, but they prioritized a win-now centerpiece, DeMar DeRozan, in the Kawhi Leonard trade. They also cannot bank on much changing between now and next year, aside from Dejounte Murray's return.
"But it's not like the rest of their books clear up this summer," Vice Sports' Michael Pina wrote. "Patty Mills, Davis Bertans, Marco Belinelli, Bryn Forbes, Derrick White, and Jakob Poeltl are all under contract in 2020. Instead of selling off [LaMarcus] Aldridge and DeRozan, dangling Rudy Gay or Belinelli in an attempt to get younger while increasing their shot at a higher pick makes sense. What doesn't is heading the other way, trading an asset for more immediate help just to make the playoffs."
Going the Crabbe-Dinwiddie route would be a nice middle ground. Paying Crabbe next season isn't a huge deal when the Spurs won't have cap space until 2020 or 2021 anyway, and they flat-out need wings. Dinwiddie gives them another shot creator who doesn't truncate their spacing, and his length affords him honorary wing status against certain defensive matchups.
San Antonio would have to make this deal with the intention of keeping him. That's not a problem. Dinwiddie can work as a sixth man or backcourt starter beside Murray, with DeRozan remaining at the 3, into 2019-20 and beyond.
receiving Spencer would be very good (he can play in 3 positions) but I do not see this happening, Crabbe only has one more year so it would not be a poison contract or something
The revenge tour is on. It should be an easy unless Mills decides to play for the other team then it would be close. GSG!
oh I remember the exact context of that quote, how is that for all that say I am not a team fan."you are not a team fan" buuuuu!!!!
Anyways, that was after a preseason game in Phoenix when Pop sat down all the Stars, except for Tony iirc. The Spurs were blown out and the game was a doozy. Sarver was complaining about the Spurs not really showing up to play and putting up a terrible display of basketball.
What are the "personal reasons" that may keep Bertans out?

Lol, just spotted Steve Nash commenting Tottenham Champion's league game on some stream... Dafuq.
"Personal" reasons are "personal" for a reason.
Nash and Sarver bought a Spanish povertyball team Mallorca
Huh? What part of “to pass the time “ don’t you get? And the second part is for EN articles , dumb mother er.
Revenge game on a team with 4 wins, jesus christ...I know they murdered the Spurs the last time out but that's like saying I need revenge against that mongoloid kid who hit me with his wheelchair.

Suns going down to the spurs freight train
Just read the article, fivethirtyeight gives us a 5% chance of making the playoffs? I don’t think there’s much of a difference from 2-14 in the west, those teams are just a little better or worse than each other play wise
Glass boi Lonni gonna play?
Yeah, that seems like a crazy stat. Any other year, we'd be in the cellar at 11th..but even 14th place is literally closer to 1st than it is to 15th right now.
I also read a stat that 14 out of the 15 toughest remaining Strength of Schedules currently belong to Western teams, which makes sense...the West is overloaded with talent and everyone is duking it out.
The standings are probably going to change a hundred times over by the end of the season. If the Spurs actually manage to put something together with this group, we could still be top 4. If not, we could be bottom 4. It's not worth even trying to put a percentage to it.
Still playing in Austin with scrub Blair.
Not to mention potential trades that will move the needle.
Leave Dabom out of this.
