We'll been hitting well over 35% of his 3's on the season.

Glad we're on the same page on Forbes being a trade chip now.

6-16 is small sample size for sure, but we'll see.

you were right on Forbes tbh. Took a lot for that to happen but still, he is a trade chip for sure. 12ppg, 42% 3pt while only making $2.7 million next season. I think that our pick + Forbes to a team that is a few spots up (say Washington depending on where they fall) would be worthwhile because they'd be getting a cheap rotation player and while still having a decent pick post-trade.

Anyone watch Nebraska? I'm trying to figure out why Isaiah Roby wouldn't be the steal of the draft is he lasts until 30. He's arguably the best defensive player in the nation right now. He's 6-8 with a 7-3 wingspan, and he has above-average skill and athleticism. I could see his offense keeping him from being a lottery pick, but 30?





Only 20 on top of that.

[BackHome]

A couple of mocks has us drafting him at 30 or we could go with Matisse Thybulle in the second round 6’’6 SF with 7’0 wingspan need to read his story Pop would love the kid he is all about defense and all about the team

Are there any SFs in the 20 range with good defense and a reliable 3-point shot?

[ace3g]

bump.

[Prime BEEF]

Markis McDuffie from Wichita St is legit 3 and D guy. Also 6’8” SF that can create his own shot. Will likely go early 2nd round but would be a good choice with our Toronto pick

[BackHome]

I don’t think he will get drafted much like Wantabe from last year. But would love the Spurs to sign him to a two way contract they ed up by not getting Wantabe hope RC doesn’t do it again.

[gambit1990]

why hasn’t aminu been a spur? smh PATFO. the dude has always been available for cheap.

[RC_Drunkford]

I want Bazemore. Would be a great addition and good fit for the SL

[XDT76]

Agree with everything except Blossom I think Ben Moore is a better player.

Whar is going to piss me off this summer is if they don’t move Gasol and Forbes and let Cunningham and Poindexter go. We have 3 draft picks and those 3 should bring more talent then what is going out. We desperately need a starting SF and would like another big to replace Gasol

Looking at the current situation I rather we move mills and keep forbes

I've started watching some Washington games to see Thybulle and I'd be fine with him with the Toronto pick. His defensive stats are incredible, but I worry that because they only play zone and he gets to roam and sneak I don't know how legit his defense is at the NBA level. Can he stay in front of NBA athletes? Can he fight around screens? Hard to tell with him just zoning.

But I do like that he has legit size. Maybe not legit SF size, but I've seen him listed at 6-5 and he's definitely that. Contrast that with Leguentz Dort who is listed 6-5 and I peg at 6-3.

I haven't watched a lot of Roby but he just looks like a PF to me. Reminds me of a smaller DJ Wilson.

One other name that's interesting at Toronto pick could be Deividas Sirvydas. The kind of skinny, long shooter who could get a bump if teams start trying to find the next Kurucs.

Call to Wizz

Wall is leaning toward undergoing the season-ending surgery, which was prescribed by specialist today, league sources said. He will make decision final next week. Surgery route will fully heal the bone spurs that have nagged him for years and allow him to perform at full steam.

Stanley Johnson DNP tonight

Stanley Johnson DNP tonight

Yeah they got killed by the Bucks too and still didn’t get garbage minutes. Wonder why tbh is he in the dog house?

[TD 21]

I saw that and it was despite him being one of their two logical Antetokounmpo defenders. It's probably just him struggling obviously, but it caught my eye all the same . . . as did Leuer playing 25 minutes.

Alternate version: Johnson, Leuer, Ellenson for Gasol and a 2nd.

Pistons add $1M this season, but deduct $2.7M (difference between Leuer and Gasol's guarantee), plus whatever Johnson would cost if retained, for next season.

Spurs would waive Ellenson and Pondexter immediately. If Johnson were re-signed for $7M or less, they'd effectively spend MLE type money on him and Leuer for next season. But outside of re-signing Gay and the 2 1sts, they'd effectively be set.

[Chinook]

FFS Johnson's not that good.

And you can't "immediately waive" players to avoid going over the 15-man limit. They'd have to include Pon in the trade or waive him prior and do something else with another guy to make this happen.

Whatever. The point is, if the teams wanted it to happen, it easily could. Above all else, I hope it happens for this very reason: just to piss you off . . .

I'm not arguing that he's been good; he irrefutably hasn't been overall and in an ideal world, I wouldn't make this trade. In the predicament they're in, considering what they're trying to do and the positives about him I've mentioned, I would.

Also, he's just 22, is one of the rare players who can credibly guard the best big wings (Leonard couldn't do anything against him earlier this season and it wasn't "missing shots he normally makes"; it was not getting shots he normally takes) and context is everything for 99% of players. Suffice it to say, his has been far from ideal.

I'd've quoted you if I were responding to you exclusively. I was replying to the general puzzlement for Stan getting a DNP.

Of course a trade between Detroit and SA could happen if both sides wanted it. Johnson's salary is small enough to give the teams a lot of options. Doesn't mean a three-for-one is one of those options, though.

Of course it doesn't mean that, but in addition to what I've said, this would accomplish 3 things. 1) Preserve the Raptors 1st. 2) Get out of and do right by Gasol. 3) Effectively complete or close the books on the s bag trade because the roster would have the balance is currently lacks.

Spurs are 5-1 against the elite SFs in the league.

The Dallas Mavericks have expressed interest in trading for Wizards forward Otto Porter, according to The Athletic’s Michael Scotto.
