    The Lakers have little present and no future. They are such an important (but mismanaged) brand, at some point the League may have to step in.
    Klutch will steer their clients there, though. Look at what that dip GM did in Phoenix sending Tyson Chandler to LeBron, too.

    Dont like the trey lyles signing at all, seems lazy and soft. I would have rather seen the spurs leave the slot open for somebody emerging from the Gleague or a buyout. What's done is done, hopefully the guy comes in with a great at ude and works his butt off. If not, he is likely Europe bound next year.

    Good read, thanks. Much happier with him than another combo guard.

Basically that soured my taste for college sports over time, and now I really don't even follow college sports at all.

    Now the NBA is reverting back to a league where only the major markets will compete for les, similar to when I was a kid. The Spurs, somehow, broke that mold. It's been an amazing, amazing run, and the purity of how San Antonio built a championship culture without reverting to underhanded deals or preferential league treatment, and how guys like David, Tim, Manu and Tony put the team, and the city of San Antonio first, over and over again, was awesome to see. Really, the 3rd most likely NBA destination in the state of Texas, much less the NBA, became a dynasty as a result. I'm not sure we'll ever see anything like that again. It was incredible to witness.


    And all of that is not to say that I'm not hoping for the Spurs to continue the tradition and return to the top of the mountain, but damn, you see how amazingly fortunate we were all those years. I have hopes for our young core to develop, but it's going to still take a superstar of the ilk of a Tim Duncan to make it all come together. This city has always been blessed with great players who loved the community, so we'll see. *fingers crossed*
    As a Lakers fan...
    Spurs have everything needed outside the superstar... Kawhi was that guy and they are not easy to find...
    Spurs still have great culture, a strong front office, ownership and a smallish but rabid fanbase.

    Eff the paranoid Lakerhatin prick section of your base... But most of yall deserve better.

    found lyles' old drafta analysis for what it's worth. seems his shot has always lacked consistency but the potential has always been there. doesn't seem as if he'll be much better than bertans was on the defensive side of the ball, except that he has great length.

    He rebounds much better from my recollection. Overall if he could shoot at his 38% rate he has the "potential" to be better. If he can't shoot though he'll be out of the league after this deal. He's very niche and is not good at his one niche. He can bounce back for sure. I am wondering what happened to his shot. The yips? Some injury? Being lazy? Depressed bc he didn't like Denver after all? Question marks.

    that's the million dollar question. hopefully, it's something that chip can fix, because if he can at least be a stretch, as you mentioned, then he could contribute.

    looked at some of his highlights on youtube---sorry but i can't embed them here---and he reminds me of kyle anderson on offense but with better mobility.

    The Spurs need to be in the CP3 to Miami conversation, they could acquire a Miami forward in exchange for Marco, Patty or Bryn

    Nobody is going to help us out by giving us a young prospect for mills contract...OKC and MIA would just cut us out and deal directly.

    Yeah sounds good. Chinook was just talking about maybe a Mills trade for James Johnson.

    Unfortunate situation. There's a chance it works out long-term but the team's chances for next season took a hit with this news...

    "However, it makes sense to continue to try to improve the team. It’s possible the Spurs could find a trade that would help more closely replace what Morris would have brought to the table." LJ Ellis

    It seems like it was natural for everyone to think of Lyles as a subs ute for Morris when he probably was just someone there after the horrible "renege" as you politely call it. Like 'may as well, Bertans is gone.' Bertans had a rough season, so maybe Lyles as a shot blocker and defender in the paint can bring us something. Chip needs to put him to work.

    Anyway I see it as more easy to understand that Morris' subs ute is still out there. We might even get a better fit with a trade down the line. Thanks for all the info here nonetheless.

    Silver thinks small markets are bleeding and he is phasing them out. Look at SA,NOLA, CLE etc. He is stealing every star from small markets, sending them to huge markets and then when the small market teams fail he will dissolve them or send them to another bigger city.

    I'm done with this . Just unsubscribed from r/ nba.

    One thing I will say is thank you for 2014, silver. Stern would have never allowed that.

    "At the same time, it’s always tough to cut ties with a talented player who is still coming into his own. Lyles is just 23 years old. 6’10” prospects who can post up, rebound, and put the ball on the floor are hard to come by."

    a hungry Lyles will prove better than a morris
