kuzma should be coming off the bench... that bench unit is atrocious and you dont need a ball stopping scorer alongside lebron/davis

[Will Hunting]

You partially answered my question. You could have had AD instead of PG13. Kiwi/AD is way scarier than Kiwi/PG13 tbh.

I think it's close only because of how much the league is dominated by athletic wings these days. Any other era and AD >>>> PG-13 and I'd probably still rather have AD, but it's close in this era especially after how well PG-13 played last year.

We also don't know if Kawhi was bent on wanting to play with George so it's not a guaranty that trading for AD would have guaranteed that they got Kawhi.

You can't do that to him, 21. He was most likely promised a starting job for soldiering during all this tumult.

if they had to make him promises like that, he lacks for ude, and it will show when the chips are down

If that takes place we can switch it out then. Give him & Cousins a perch, a solid footing to start out on, especially Cousins, but Kuzma as well. Start a fresh page on Cousins, it'd be his 5th or 6th fresh one, but, his first with us. & keep ours fingers crossed that we succeed early, Boogie, yes, Boogie succeeds early so we have conducted a steady floor in which to operate thereafter.

Of course he says that...
He had big chats before he flamed out of the last two playoffs.. Sure he extra confident now that Kawhi is holding his hand and not Russ

Offensively, AD is KDesque. He can hit the midrange and post up. He hardly ever gets his shot blocked. His 3ball is improving too. Defensively, he has 1st team all defensive traits.

Even in today's NBA, I take AD over PG13 24/7.

Playing with Bron and physically protected by Boogie, if he's healthy he might be in the MVP convo. Many fans don't remember how special he is.

This makes me happy

Kuz probably missed the most open 3s in the league last year.

[LkrFan]

Ask Trez

[LkrFan]

Size, height, build, 7footer that can shoot. You farmers know what I mean.

[Thread]

i'll just bet you wished we shipped him directly to jeanie

You cut your nose off to spite your face.

Seriously, what did we ever do to him, 21?

” unfinished business” loses in the first round lol. But hey he’s Scottie pippen now. All of a sudden

[Chris]

Size, height, 7footer

These are all the same thing.

KD has made the 50-40-90 club. Can AD say the same?

KD is a four-time scoring champion. Can AD say the same?

Size could mean girth.

[lefty]

You've nary room. You sent the lad outta the country because he had the audacity to back sass a white man.

the Spurs FO tbh

[LkrFan]

Truth bombs

[LkrFan]

They gonna get a ton of open 3s as teams deal with our big 3. Gotta knock em down tho.

[ambchang]

Sure it was...
But Presti let it drag until he got what he wanted...
Your FO did not have the stones...
To be fair to Spurs Kawhi the snake kept the quiet... He a snake but a boss... he ed over Spurs, Raptors and Lakers in 24 Mos... Uncle wdrnnis is Rich Paul 2.0 props but them both, lol

So you think the spurs could have just dragged it out with nephew sitting out another couple Of months so that his stock would climb? Quit your day job and be an nba exec. Your a genius.

Look you gonna defend the Spurs FO blindly so it's all good even The GOAT Jerry West made a mistake or two...
You think they did fine and should not have waited I think like Bum and a few others they should have played hard ball

No need to make this a running debate/fued we know where each other's stance is
I'm not changing mine and you never change yours.
Make a smart ass response and let us move on... So you can have your infamous last word...

So let’s walk through this.

Clippers call okc: trade me PG so that I can sign nephew.
OKC: sure! He’s under contract, I don’t have to trade him, he didn’t really demand a trade, i want your everything.
Clippers: OK

Spurs last year: I want to trade Kawhi because he just went public on his trade demands and wants only to go to the lakers. Oh and he said multiple times he’s gonna come back but didn’t. I’m not sure if he’s really hurt or not willing to even play unless he’s a laker
Lakers: I only have to give you crap because he’s coming to us anyways b
All other 28 teams: so we get him for a year. I’m gonna give you a little more than trash
Spurs: hmmm, you know what? I will wait for an offer that’s better than an all star, and a young player. That way the other teams can have less time to convince him to stay and the lakers can wait for even less time. That will work.
