Oubre is a very exciting player on paper, he has the prototypical body for his position. And he is above average defensively. But, and that's important, he lacks Basket Ball IQ! And he is going to demand to get paid next summer (restricted free agent).
So, it's a no-no for me.
Spurs are banged up for vet min why not what is the worse that could happen?
Rivers has always smashed us!!
This is true. I don't like his game that much, but he couldn't be worse than Forbes.
Great decision from the suns front office, next stop: china
We have enough guards and Rivers isn't a true PG, rather than a combo guard. We don't have time for Walker. White still isn't getting big minutes.
He is a certified Spur Killer though
No Wesley Crusher.
Thanks.
Lol can't believe this scrub is considered a veteranEmbed the tweet
I meant getting Ariza, not Oubre.
Many claimed Boris was an ex player when we got him.
Wow he was an expiring contract. It could have been of some value to someone wanting to shed salary. He was used to match up salaries with Ariza, but Suns could have gotten a bad contract from somebody in exchange too. It’s just weird. I frankly don’t see what the Suns were doing here except perhaps a favor to Ariza.
Whats humiliating for Rivers is that the Suns need a PG. Well at least Paddy Mills Daddy is out of the league...
Yup Suns FO...So Phoenix didn't even get a guard out of the trade?
Real-talk, the Suns are sort of ing themselves with these early buyouts. They'd make better use of those guys if they kept them for matching trades rather than letting them go and converting them into dead money.
Last year I’d of done it. Offense needed a jump and he can shoot well about once every 6 games or so. Now, no thanks.
or that Gay was a black hole and not Spurs player type, but they never learn
Yeah, I guess Oubre was the Suns' sole target. Must have determined they couldn't anything for Rivers expiring. Interesting.
According to Shams, Rivers will be signing with the Grizzlies. Guess it's good for them since Conley is always injured.
Scrub on Duke, Scrub for every team he's been on. Pass.
Oubre is better than anything Spurs have outside LMA/DeMar/Gay. So no.
If memory serves me wasn't he one of the main performers that knocked us out in 2015 vs LAC?
He had two really above average scoring games.
Don't know if it's true or not.
Didn't want him anyway. Just another scrub to go with the other Grizzlies' scrubs
He also lacks good one-on-one skills or a consistent perimeter game. He is too reliant on cuts to the rim and the occasional, sporadic three - pointer.
His days in D.C. were numbered, anyway, but losing a young, promising piece for cap relief sucks.
As far as Austin Rivers is concerned, I'd say no thanks. The team needs another combo forward/swingman to pair with all our young guards and Rudy Gay. Not another combo guard that will eat up time and resources.
Yeah Shams is now saying that nothing is for sure with the Grizzlies and that there are 4-5 teams interested.
